Policy Model of Thematic Village Development Based Pentahelix in Realizing Sustainable Development Goals

This research aims to explore the policy model of thematic village development based on the pentahelix approach and its implementation in East Java, Indonesia. By examining the concept of pentahelix and its integration into thematic village development, the study discusses the role of each stakeholder in advancing villages towards sustainable goals. The research adopts a policy research approach, utilizing a mix-method (qualitative and quantitative) analysis. Data collection involves macro-level analysis through documents and interviews with government officials, and micro-level analysis focusing on village-level policy implementation through document studies, interviews, and observations. Data analysis follows the Miles, Huberman, and Saldana model, ensuring data validity through triangulation. The study delineates the stages of the policy model, including agenda setting, formulation, implementation, and evaluation. Agenda setting highlights the transition from addressing underdeveloped villages to empowering them. Formulation involves collaborative efforts among various stakeholders, leading to comprehensive policy plans. Implementation includes financial support allocation and technical assistance, ensuring transparency and collaboration across sectors. Evaluation assesses the policy's impact on achieving Sustainable Development Goals, demonstrating positive outcomes such as increased village autonomy and awareness of development indices. This research contributes to understanding the implementation of the pentahelix-based thematic village development model in East Java, providing insights into collaborative policy formulation and its impact on sustainable development goals. The findings offer practical implications for policymakers, emphasizing the importance of multi-stakeholder collaboration in addressing complex societal challenges.
