Abstract
Community service performance has become an increasingly strategic policy issue because the improvement of bureaucratic performance has implications in the administration of government functions. The number of public complaints about the performance of public services, such as services that are convoluted, procedural, and slow in its completion, thus causing public distrust to the village government. The orientation of community service still seems centralized to the village head as the head of government, consequently being hampered in managing public services. To that end, it is necessary to improve the performance of community services through strengthening the democratization of the village by developing community capacity in political knowledge so as to encourage awareness to be actively involved in the process of village governance. Community involvement can be given space and opportunity to be involved in the process of planning, implementing and controlling the administration of government functions. With the involvement of the community, it will encourage increased social control as a balancing force, and can encourage the realization of good governance
