YOGYAKARTA - The position of the village as part of a country's geographic area cannot be underestimated. Villages have an important role in various sectors of life, ranging from food, waters, economy, and so on. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, villages were able to become a buffer for food security countries.

Many villages are seen as remote, underdeveloped, and modern areas. Many people think that civilization in the village is not as advanced as urban areas. Even though both cannot be compared to the same benchmark. There are separate indicators to see the progress of the village.

Now there are many of the most advanced villages in Indonesia that have the highest assessment of the development village index (IDM) in 2022. These villages are proven to be qualified in several sectors, such as ecology / environment, economy, food, and so on.

The Ministry of Villages, Development of Disadvantaged Regions and Transmigration (Kemendes PDTT) has determined three indexes in measuring the capabilities of a village. The three indexes include the economic resilience index (IKE), the social resilience index (IKS), the ecological/environmental resilience index (IKL).

The results of the three assessors will determine the categories of each village. There are 5 categories of village capabilities, namely independent villages, developing villages, underdeveloped villages, or villages that are very lagging behind.

The Ministry of Villages noted that the average village in Indonesia is classified as developing with IDM 0.6724. Meanwhile, the area with the highest average IDM is Bali with a value of 0.8269. In addition, the range of 60.69 percent of villages in Bali is independent.

Meanwhile, the villages with the smallest IDM are in the provinces of Papua and West Papua. The average village in Papua has a very lagging status, namely Papua with IDM 0.4676 and West Papua with IDM 0.5184.

The number of villages in Indonesia is recorded at 74,955. Of the total villages, 10 villages have the highest village index (IDM) in 2022.
