This is decentralization in which authority is transferred from the central government to local governments to manage their household affairs, contrary to village communities' rights. At the village level, the government is led by a village head who has the authority and responsibility to manage his household through the administration of government and local government functions. The village head is responsible for administering village government, implementing village communities, and empowering village communities (Istiqomah, 2020. Jamaluddin et al. , 2018.

These patterns are advantageous because they are accommodative, compromising, and reductive . alf-hearte. To begin with, effective relationships require a balance of institutional and non-institutional factors. This effective relationship is possible if the executive . illage hea. and legislature Jurnal Administrasi Publik (Public Administration Journa. , 11. Desember 2021: 144-151 (BPD) work together and are supported by a strong village head leadership style. addition to the strong personality of the village head, the supporting constitutional structure is also strong (Wowor, 2. The control of the internal parliament is also robust and follows the proportions mandated by the legislation that regulates In this situation of effective relations, the dynamics of government will lead to institutional strengthening. Second, the accommodative relationship is a condition where the institutional aspect is vital, but the non-institutional part is weak (Anwar. In this situation of effective relations, the dynamics of government will lead to institutional strengthening. Second, the accommodative relationship is a condition whThis form of relationship is formed when there is an executive who has a weak personality but can still be strengthened by a strong constitution and a strong support group. The condition of this accommodative relationship also occurs if the control of the parliament is proportional and by the body (Sidik, 2. The bond between the two parties is also well tied because the same ideology and platform bind it. The tendency of this relationship, although accommodative, still allows the government to run effectively. Third, hostile relations are conditions when the institutional aspects . onstruction, design of political institutions, and party system. are still fragile. Still, the personality and executive leadership style are strong, but the non-institutional aspect is weak. This situation showed where the executive personality is firm but not supported by a robust institutional design while the control from the legislature is firm . egislative heav. As a result, government stability is jeopardized. When the BPD and the Village Head come from opposite groups, ideologies, and platforms, or if they accommodate distinct interests, this confrontation ensues. It is vulnerable to impeachment on the executive role in this The relationship is that the institutional condition is poor and is supported by an executive who is also weak. The state of personal weakness, the constitution, the soft structure, and the system of the administration and legislature make the legislature's control very powerful. This situation is related to the argumentative condition, in which the executive's disease tends to be strong even when the constitution is weak. Still, this reductive condition happens because the executive tends to be strong even when the body is So the legislative position is very . egislative The relationship between the two is also not based on a solid ideological bond (Rahayu. According to Solekhan, the village government is in charge of government matters, development, and society. Thus, when viewed functionally, the village government carries out the following functions: . managing village government affairs, . managing the development and community development, . managing managing development participation and cooperation, . managing development community peace and so on. The village head and the BPD have a collaborative relationship founded on checks and balances for each institution's tasks and functions. As a result, village governance processes must create an environment conducive to a substantive Thus, relationship between the village head and the BPD must be based on mutual trust, cooperation, and mutual respect. If these three elements are present, the partnership will run harmoniously. CONCLUSION The relationship between the village government and the village consultative body is intended in this study as a collaborative effort in the development and implementation of village funds and Muhammad Mukaddar.
