Villages are the lowest governmental strata located in the administrative areas of districts/ cities throughout Indonesia. The rapid progress of digital technology has brought a wave of global change that requires villages to transform and adapt. In response, what must be done for the sake of the continuity of life values, the preservation of traditions, culture, and local wisdom, as well as building human capital in an effort to prosper its citizens? This study aims to find extraordinary strategies as an effort to realize rural resilience through digital villages. The research is qualitative with a case study approach in Ponggok Village in Klaten Regency, Central Java. Digital village is one of the ideal solutions for rural resilience in the digital era. Human capital is the main factor. It is hoped that the Government will initiate a digital village that is participatory-responsive to the dynamics of digitalization, inclusive development, the anticipation of disaster, and digital-based environmental sustainability.
