The Law No. 6 of 2014 about Village was created as a step to give clarity on the status of village in the governance system in Indonesia. Based on that law, now village is no longer positioned as subordinate to the regency/city government organization but as the lowest level government organization which has the right to regulate and manage its household affairs independently. The position of village was reinforced by one of the main principles in the Village Law namely “the principle of subsidiarity” or village-scale local authority in which the village was granted the right to assign local scale authority and local decision making for the interest of communities. However, the local authority is a new thing since the birth of the Village Law considering that during this village only became the object of development coming from the higher government. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> This research is a qualitative research with content analysis technique and data collection was done through primary and secondary survey. The primary survey was done by semi-structured interviews to relevant stakeholders in the regency and village governements and members of the Village Consultative Board (BPD), as well as field observation to knowing the results of the development that has been implemented. The secondary survey was done by collecting the relevant documents needed for the analysis in this research. The results of the interviews to various informants were then further processed to analyze the implementation of village-scale local authority in the field of development realization and community empowerment. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Based on the results of the analysis, from the three villages that are the location of the research, no one has established village regulations on the list of village authorities as the basis for implement their authority, especially village-scale local authority. Although the three villages don’t yet have village regulations on village authority but the village governments is still obliged to carry out local development in accordance with the aspirations and needs of the village community. Both Ciburial (developed village), Sindanglaya (developing village), and Cikadut (disadvantaged village) villages have been able to implement village-scale local authority in the field of development realization and community empowerment as mandated by the Village Law. As a form of vertical subsidiarity, the higher government also provides village support in the form of financial assistance and technical guidance. The village typology based on the Village Development Index (IDM) doesn’t not fully show the difference about how the three villages implementation the village-scale local authority because IDM only classifies villages on the basis of social, economic, and environmental components and doesn’t include the quality of village government apparatus in which the village government apparatus is the main implementer of village-scale local authority.
