Abstract:
Village-owned enterprises (BUMDes) are very important for the community to develop the
village economy, for those villages receive assistance from the district government in the
form of village funds that are distributed to BUMDes. There are 133 BUMDes in Barito Kuala
Regency, 33 of which are engaged in agriculture. Barito Kuala has agricultural potential with
tidal land, so that the existing villages form BUMDes which are engaged in agriculture. Based
on this, a study was conducted to determine farmers' perceptions of the allocation of village
funds used for the management of BUMDes engaged in agriculture on tidal lands of Barito
Kuala Regency, as well as the relationship between farmers' perceptions and the
characteristics of the farmers themselves. The analysis carried out is the interval method with
categories. The number of samples had taken as many as 60 respondents. The majority of
farmer respondents are in the 41-45 year age group, with the highest average education
level from junior high school and below, and with the number of members mostly in the
number of household members of 2 people, and with the most arable land area of 0,75-1 ha.
