ASBTRACT This research is based on the reality that the focus of sustainable development has not been too large involving village community participation. Programs carried out in villages are generally determined from above. Independence is not formed and the village is increasingly dependent on the program from above.

Village independence always considers economic, environmental and social aspects. These three elements are interwoven through environmentally friendly communication patterns.
