Abstract

This study aims to measure community membership in rural institution and analyze its benefits in rural developmnet after Indonesian decentralization. To do so, a case study was conducted in Serang, Kedarpan and Sumilir Village of Purbalingga District, Central Java Province. Respondents of this study consist of 232 people, and data are analyze both qualitatively and quantitatively. Findings of this study present that diverse community group exist, and most households become active member in one to two rural institutions. Neighbourhood, religious and farmer groups are the most active institutions in term of membership and carrying periodic meeting. Membership in rural institution improves access to financial, physical and natural capital, but less in improving human capital. While most villagers are members of neighbourhood, farmer and religious groups, the village goverment does not build intensive interaction with these institutions in meetings to formulate village decision. Thus, the empowerment process is not optimally delivered, and the institutions cannot optimally help their members in addressing their livehood problems. Some initiative are performed by the intitutions, but without goverment support, they result only limited benefits for the member. Thus, this study recommends the government to involve more institutions in village decision making, especially by improving the participation of neigbourhood, religious and farmer groups. Keywords : rural institution; intitutional membership; rural development
