Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze governance in Indonesia has undergone significant changes from Old Public Administration (OPA) to New Public Management (NPM), to New Public Governance (NPG) which emphasizes collaboration, transparency, and public participation. In the context of villages, these changes are increasingly relevant after the birth of Law No. 6/2014, which gives villages broad authority to manage their finances independently. However, the practice of village financial management in Rokan Hulu Regency, Riau Province, still faces obstacles such as low apparatus capacity, weak transparency, and lack of community participation. This research aims to analyze how the transformation of village financial governance can be implemented based on the NPG paradigm to improve transparency, accountability, and participation, and how its implementation can be a foundation for socio-environmental resilience. The research used mixed methods with an exploratory sequential design. The results showed that village financial governance in Rokan Hulu is still dominated by traditional patterns, with the utilization of the Village Financial System (Siskeudes) that is not optimal in encouraging public information disclosure. Community participation in budget planning tends to be a formality, although villages with collaborative leadership are able to create more transparent and accountable governance. The application of the NPG paradigm is proven to strengthen cross-sector collaboration, including with NGOs, universities, and the private sector, thus encouraging the creation of development programs based on local needs. In addition, NPG has great potential in building socioenvironmental resilience through the integration of programs such as waste management, reforestation, and renewable energy, although it is still hampered by rigid regulations and limited digital literacy. This research contributes a conceptual model and strategic recommendations to strengthen village financial governance through visionary leadership, apparatus training, digital technology utilization, and budget allocations that support socioenvironmental sustainability.
