Abstract

The transformation of village public services has become a strategic issue in supporting the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly in Banyumas Regency, which recorded a Village SDGs score of 46.88. The Ministry of Villages has emphasized that Village SDGs data will serve as a key reference for determining village action plans through 2030, thereby necessitating a transformation of public service systems to improve these outcomes. However, research gaps remain regarding the comprehensive role of village public services in advancing all 17 SDGs, particularly with respect to policy, leadership, community participation, innovation, and governance. Therefore, this study aims to describe the current state of village public services in Banyumas Regency within the SDGs framework and to identify the enabling and constraining factors that influence the transformation of these services. The theoretical foundation of this research draws upon concepts of public service delivery in the context of sustainable development, community participation, public-sector innovation, and governance, including collaboration and partnership frameworks. The study’s state-of-the-art lies in its holistic approach to examining village public services, considering their contributions to the attainment of the SDGs, specifically within the context of villages in Banyumas Regency. This research employs a convergent mixed-methods design integrating qualitative and quantitative approaches. The study was conducted in 75 villages in Banyumas Regency, with one key respondent per village representing the village government. Research instruments include in-depth interviews and questionnaires designed to collect data on public service policies, leadership, community participation, innovation, and governance. The collected data will be analyzed using a convergent approach to generate a comprehensive understanding of the conditions of village public services and the factors influencing their transformation. Accordingly, the study is expected to provide concrete recommendations to improve village public services and support the achievement of SDG targets in Banyumas Regency by 2030.
