The results of this study indicate that the implementation of the main tasks of the BPD in the administration of government has not been fully carried out optimally because only three main tasks are carried out namely accommodating and channelling the aspirations of the community, forming a village head election committee and the process of discussion and stipulation of village regulations together with the village head, out of six the main tasks that have been determined by the Government Regulation on Villages. the factors that influence the implementation of the main tasks and supervisory functions are influenced by two factors, namely the driving factor which includes community support or participation, and a good cooperative relationship between the Village Consultative Body and the Village Government. Whereas the second factor is the inhibiting factor which includes the lack of benefits provided to the members involved, facilities and infrastructure, lack of Human Resources to fill membership and the existence of a society that is either pro or contra to each decision made.
