Using a qualitative descriptive method, the data was collected through observation, interviews and documentation. Data analysis was carried out using a qualitative descriptive method. The results show that the process of implementing Kalo sara-based village development planning started with the hamlet level for them to discuss what the main problems are in the area and the results are formulated in the form of a village development program. Thereafter, the results of the program formulation are then brought to the sub-district level to be discussed by the sub-district government along with residents and village officials, and the results are formulated into 2 (two) program priorities: main priority; and (2) supporting priority development programs. Kalo sara influences very significantly the level of community participation in village development because it contains the values of samaturu (mutual cooperation); medulu mepokoso (unity and integrity); ate pute penao moroha (holiness and justice); and morini mbu'umbudi monapa mbu'undawaro (prosperity and welfare) that become the spirit or motivation for the community to keep participating actively in each of village development plans.]]>
