Abstract:

An essential element in sustainable development is economic and social development without threatening the ability of future generations to meet their needs. However, Indonesia itself has just adopted the principles of sustainable development through Presidential Decree (Perpres) Number 59 of 2017. Therefore, there are shortcomings in research regarding the sustainable development model, especially sustainable development in Indonesia's rural areas. Through this research, the author wants to develop a model of sustainable development from the socioeconomic perspective of rural communities using system dynamics method. The model simulation results show that there is a reciprocal relationship especially the value of social capital levels that are influenced by leadership level and needs fulfillment, or in other words, social conditions are influenced by the conditions of village leadership and the conditions of individuals in the community. The influence also applies otherwise. Therefore, the authors propose several interventions in the form of reducing the inflation rate and increasing social awareness so that mutual relations can have a positive effect on sustainable development.
