The Indonesian Government has encouraged the development of village-owned business as an alternative utilization of village transfer fund. The trust of the Indonesian government in the village government has been seen from the transfer of funds given to the village. This fund aims to develop their village. Building village-owned business should certainly be counterbalanced with a public accountability mechanism. This research aims at describing the capacity of public governance in the accountability system performed by public sector organization. This research also explores public capacity in supporting the accountability of BUMDes management from a cultural perspective. Village communities have distinct characteristics where not all systems can operate without local wisdom. This research employs both quantitative and qualitative approaches and use questionnaire and interview guide as its instruments. This research is conducted in Banyumas and takes 41 village business units and informants consisting of village business manager, village official and villager elements as the samples. The data and information are analyzed using quantitative descriptive analysis method with support of information analyzed using interactive analysis method. The research results show that public governance capacity in the accountability of village business management is still low. The opportunity of stakeholders’s involvement in public accountability system is not yet created by public organization. This is due to the strong patrenalistic culture among Indonesian society. The village community tends to give full trust and to the village government, especially the village head. This kind of patrenalistic culture opens opportunities for not optimal accountability horizontally. Consequently, the accountability only applies vertically. This research suggests improving the capacity of public governance in the accountability system of village-owned business management through optimizing stakeholders’ role in the accountability of Village-Owned Enterprise’s management. Keywords: Accountability, local wisdom, public governance capacity, stakeholders, Village-Owned Enterprise.Downloads

Copyright Notice
Authors should not withdraw their submitted papers because the withdrawal wastes voluntary works devoted by an associate editor and reviewers. But, we accept the withdrawal of a submitted paper if authors have unavoidable reasons. In the event that a manuscript is to be withdrawn from submission to Sampurasun Journal, a letter must be sent to the editorial office requesting withdrawal by e-mail (sampurasunjournal@unpas.ac.id) with its scanned PDF file, before the notification of acceptance for publication.
The withdraw request letter must include the following information. Paper ID, Paper title, Authors names, Reason why the paper must be withdrawn, and Date and signatures of all the authors (or signature of the contact author).
If only the contact author signs the letter, he/she must obtain the agreement of the withdrawal from all the other authors and the letter must include the description that all the other authors agreed the withdrawal. The journal will not withdraw a manuscript from peer review until such a letter has been received. Authors must not assume their manuscript has been withdrawn until they have received appropriate notification from the editorial office. Withdrawal of a manuscript subsequent to acceptance for publication will only be granted in the most exceptional of circumstances.
After the paper is accepted for publication, the withdrawal is not permitted in principle. The authors must always pay the charge even if the withdrawal is permitted. Any request of withdrawal that does not follow the above procedure is treated as invalid. If illegal submission, e.g., plagiarized or duplicate submission, is found for a paper, the withdrawal of the paper will never be permitted and the authors will be punished based on the rule. It is not acceptable practice to withdraw a manuscript in the event of acceptance at another journal. This constitutes dual submission. The editorial office of the other journal will be notified of your actions. In such circumstances Sampurasun ISCH may chose to impose appropriate punitive action subject.
Withdrawal Penalty
Author is not allowed to withdraw submitted manuscripts, because the withdrawal is waste of valuable resources that editors and referees spent a great deal of time processing submitted manuscript, money and works invested by the publisher. If author still requests withdrawal of his/her manuscript when the manuscript is still in the peer-reviewing process, author will be punished with paying $200 per manuscript, as withdrawal penalty to the publisher. However, it is unethical to withdraw a submitted manuscript from one journal if accepted by another journal. The withdrawal of manuscript after the manuscript is accepted for publication, author will be punished by paying US$500 per manuscript. Withdrawal of manuscript is only allowed after withdrawal penalty has been fully paid to the Publisher. If author don't agree to pay the penalty, the author and his/her affiliation will be blacklisted for publication in this journal. Even, his/her previously published articles will be removed from our online system.
