INTRODUCTION
Support in realizing the vision of the Village Law is to develop an Indonesian society that is independent and has personality.Village reform is a necessity that must be achieved through Law Number 6 of 2014 and its derivative laws and regulations. 1In Cibeber village itself , the village head made a village develop into an independent village without escaping the enthusiasm and participation of the community itself, considering that all elements of society participated in advancing the village which was initially a developing village into an independent village.
By seeing how much prosperity and development has increased in Cibeber village, we need to have benchmarks.This increase can be marked by structural changes in several fields such as education, health, economics, politics and culture. 2 In Indonesia, especially in villages , to see how advanced and developed a village is can be seen from its status.The status of this village can be known through the progress and independence of the village which is determined based on the developing village index.The classification of village status includes independent villages, developed villages, developing villages, underdeveloped villages and very underdeveloped villages.

Community Participation in Assisting Village Heads to Form Independent Villages
Talking about village community participation in forming independent villages essentially discusses village community empowerment, where community empowerment itself is a process where the community takes the initiative to start a process of social activities to improve their own situation and conditions 23 .Community empowerment can also be interpreted as an effort to transform community growth into the real strength of society, to protect and fight for values and interests in all aspects of life.
Then, as a result of observations of the community, researchers found that there were several village government efforts to form independent villages in synergy with the community, for example there was empowerment of MSMEs which were managed by the community and accommodated by the village government. 24There are several types of MSMEs that are managed by the Cibeber village community, including "Nutmeg Syrup, Mangosteen Syrup, and Mangosteen Skin Tea, where these businesses are the livelihood of the Cibeber village community, the community has an important role in managing these MSMEs, community efforts from the community for the community, this is one of the causes of Cibeber village becoming an independent village, because the Cibeber Village Head applies the principle "Cibeber village people must become productive citizens, not consumptive citizens." 25urthermore, the participation of residents to form an independent village, namely, through the awareness of Cibeber village residents in participating in building village infrastructure built by the village, the results of researchers' observations in Cibeber village, in the past 40 days, Cibeber village residents and village officials worked together.building fields and building roads, and the community's enthusiasm for community service and mutual cooperation in making all the development carried out in Cibeber village a success. 26rom all the aspects above, it can be underlined that the community is the fulcrum for the formation of an independent village, because without the community participating in all village development and programs, the village head's efforts in forming an independent village will not be achieved, the key to achieving the goal.The Village Head to make Cibeber village an independent village means that communication, transparency and motivation for all elements of society must be well established.If all these components have been implemented by the village government then it is not impossible for a village to be called an independent village, such as which has happened and is being implemented in Cibeber village.

CONCLUSION
It can be concluded that a village that has achieved an independent village does not escape the role of the Village Head and the community, the village head plays the role of facilitator, motivator and mentor, where the village head in Cibeber village has successfully directed and provided stimulus to the community so that they are aware of the importance of a culture of mutual cooperation, and most importantly, the Head of Cibeber Village succeeded in changing the mindset of the community, which previously implemented a consumerist culture, into implementing a productive culture or habit.
Then the community also has a very large and maximum contribution to the formation of this independent village.Considering the enthusiasm and awareness of the community regarding development activities and all village programs, all elements of society without exception take part in making development and village programs a success .Basically the village head will not be able to make all village activities and programs a success if there is no participation from all elements of the village community, so continuity between village officials and all village residents must be well established, and also all communities must synergize, collaborate and follow all directionsdirection from the village head.
