This study aims to analyze and describe community participation in supporting village development in Duampanua Village, Anreapi District, Polewali Mandar Regency. Community participation is an important element in achieving sustainable village development because the involvement of local communities influences the planning, implementation, and evaluation of development programs. This study employed a descriptive qualitative research approach to obtain a comprehensive understanding of the forms, processes, supporting factors, and challenges of community participation in village development activities. The research was conducted from March to May 2026 in Duampanua Village, Anreapi District, Polewali Mandar Regency. The informants were selected purposively and consisted of 25 participants, including the Village Head as the key informant, village officials and community members as primary informants, and members of the Village Consultative Body (BPD), development stakeholders, and representatives of community organizations as additional informants. Data were collected through observation, semi-structured interviews, documentation studies, literature reviews, and online data searches. The collected data were analyzed using qualitative descriptive analysis through data organization, data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion verification. The validity of the findings was ensured through source and technique triangulation by comparing information obtained from various informants and data collection methods. The findings of this study indicate that community participation plays an important role in supporting village development through involvement in decision-making processes, implementation of development activities, and community supervision. However, the level of participation is influenced by several factors, including community awareness, communication between the village government and residents, availability of information, and social conditions within the community. This study provides insights into the importance of strengthening collaborative relationships between village governments and communities to achieve more effective and sustainable village development.
