Abstract

This study was aimed to (1) know the welfare condition between member and non-
member of BUMDes Karang Indah (2) understand the strategies that can develop BUMDes

to increase the welfare of Karang Indah villagers.
The study's Respondents were 76 of the BUMDes member families and 34 of the
BUMDes non-member families, their occupations as a farmer, seller, and breeder in Karang

Indah Village Mandastana, Barito Kuala. The data were processed by independent sample t-
test and SWOT analysis.

The study results showed the welfare condition between member and non-member of
BUMDes were different and measured by household income, household expenditure,
household saving, education, and employment. These variables showed the non-member of
BUMDes were more in welfare than a member of BUMDes. The results of SWOT analysis
were: (1) cooperating with the bank to lend capital for villagers business; (2) creating
productive business unit; (3) keeping the stocks of goods; (4) doing socialization about
BUMDes frequently; (5) fixing the record system of BUMDes income.
The village government should fix the management of BUMDes, include strategic
planning, recording system for BUMDes income, and strategies to develop BUMDes. They
should do these to avoid the BUMDes existence as a trend and formality, but to increase the
villagers' welfare condition, especially the member of BUMDes.
