BOGOR, Indonesia — The One Billion One Village Program, known as SAMISADE, has been assessed as effective in supporting village development in Megamendung District, Bogor Regency. The finding comes from a study by Reksa Dzul Ikrami, Gotfridus Goris Seran, and Irma Purnamasari of Djuanda University, published in 2026 in the International Journal of Applied Research and Sustainable Sciences (IJARSS). Based on responses from 72 village officials across 12 villages, the study recorded an overall effectiveness score of 3.91, placing SAMISADE implementation in the Good category. The findings provide a local picture of how village infrastructure funding is being implemented and how its results are experienced within communities.
SAMISADE and Village Development
Village development plays an important role in improving public services, connectivity, economic activity, and community welfare. Villages are also positioned close to residents, allowing development planning to respond to local needs and priorities.
In Bogor Regency, the One Billion One Village Program (SAMISADE) provides funding support for village infrastructure development. According to the study by Ikrami, Seran, and Purnamasari, the program is designed to support regional connectivity, facilitate community economic activities, and contribute to reducing development gaps between villages.
Megamendung District provides an important setting for examining the program because of its hilly geographical characteristics and varying levels of village development. The researchers examined SAMISADE implementation across villages within the district to provide a broader picture of program effectiveness.
The study considers effectiveness not only from completed infrastructure projects but also from how well the program is understood, how accurately its targets are determined, whether activities follow planned schedules, whether program goals are achieved, and whether communities experience tangible changes.
Study Involved 72 Village Officials
The researchers used a quantitative descriptive approach involving 72 respondents from 12 villages in Megamendung District.
The respondents were village officials and other village representatives directly involved in SAMISADE implementation. They included village heads, village secretaries, financial affairs officials, planning officials, members of activity implementation teams, and members of the Village Consultative Body.
Information was collected through questionnaires, interviews, and field observations. The questionnaire measured respondents' perceptions of program effectiveness, while interviews and observations provided additional information about implementation conditions.
The questionnaire data were analyzed using the Weighted Mean Score (WMS) method, which calculates average scores from respondents' answers. The researchers also tested the questionnaire before using it in the main study. The reliability test produced a Cronbach's Alpha value of 0.766, indicating consistent measurement according to the criteria used in the study.
Program Understanding Receives the Highest Assessment
The strongest result appeared in the program understanding dimension, which received an average score of 4.10, classified as Very Good.
Understanding the objectives of SAMISADE received the highest individual score, at 4.28. Understanding of the program's mechanisms and procedures received 4.15, while clarity of program information received 4.04. Socialization that helped officials understand activity implementation received 3.93.
These results indicate that the village officials surveyed had a strong understanding of the purpose, procedures, and information associated with SAMISADE.
For village development programs, clear understanding among implementers is important because it helps connect planning with implementation and ensures that activities are carried out according to established procedures.
Program Targets and Timing Receive Good Scores
The target accuracy dimension received an average score of 3.90, categorized as Good.
The indicator concerning established target criteria received a score of 4.15. Consideration of village development priorities scored 3.80, while the absence of targeting errors received 3.81. The alignment between program beneficiaries and planning objectives scored 3.82.
The timeliness dimension received an average score of 3.82, also categorized as Good. Implementation according to the planned schedule scored 3.99, completion of activity stages on time scored 3.79, and the indicator concerning delays scored 3.67.
The researchers note that some activities may require additional time because of factors such as weather, administrative processes, material availability, and coordination among parties involved. Rather than representing a single cause, these factors illustrate the range of conditions that can influence infrastructure development schedules.
Program Goals and Community Impact
The achievement of program goals received an average score of 3.85, placing it in the Good category.
The alignment between project outputs and planning targets scored 3.97, achievement of short-term objectives scored 3.85, and visibility of long-term objectives scored 3.72.
The real change and program impact dimension also received a Good rating, with an average score of 3.90.
Changes in community attitudes scored 3.99, changes in behavior scored 3.83, changes in social conditions or beneficiary capacity scored 3.83, and the community's ability to utilize development results scored 3.94.
The researchers from Djuanda University report that SAMISADE-supported development has contributed to improved infrastructure quality, easier transportation access, community participation, and mutual cooperation within villages. The study also links infrastructure improvements with support for social and economic activities.
Overall Effectiveness Score Reaches 3.91
When the five dimensions are considered together, SAMISADE implementation in Megamendung receives an average score of 3.91, categorized as Good.
The results are:
- Program understanding: 4.10 — Very Good
- Target accuracy: 3.90 — Good
- Timeliness: 3.82 — Good
- Achievement of program goals: 3.85 — Good
- Real change and program impact: 3.90 — Good
- Overall effectiveness: 3.91 — Good.
The findings suggest that SAMISADE has been implemented effectively within the geographical and institutional context examined by the researchers.
Recommendations for Continued Improvement
The study by Reksa Dzul Ikrami, Gotfridus Goris Seran, and Irma Purnamasari of Djuanda University also provides recommendations for continued program development.
The researchers highlight the value of strengthening coordination among village officials, activity implementation teams, and other relevant parties. Better coordination can support smoother implementation and help activities remain aligned with planned schedules.
They also recommend using accurate and up-to-date data when planning village development. Better data can help villages identify priorities more precisely and align development activities with community needs. Continuous program evaluation is another recommendation for maintaining and improving implementation quality over time.
In an ethical paraphrase of the researchers' findings, Ikrami, Seran, and Purnamasari of Djuanda University emphasize that effective village development depends on clear program understanding, appropriate targeting, sound planning, timely implementation, and the ability of communities to benefit from development results.
For communities, these findings highlight the importance of infrastructure that can be used to support daily mobility and social and economic activities. For village administrations and policymakers, the study provides evidence that can inform future planning, coordination, and evaluation of village development programs.
The researchers also acknowledge that the study focuses specifically on Megamendung District and relies partly on respondents' perceptions. Its findings therefore should be understood within the context of the study area. Future research could examine additional regions, use combined quantitative and qualitative methods, and consider other factors such as village governance, community participation, budget transparency, and socioeconomic conditions.
