Purposive sampling procedures were used in the qualitative and descriptive research methodology of this study to take seven informants who had direct knowledge and insight into the problem under study.

The tools used included literature reviews, focus groups, interviews, and observations were used to gather information. The findings of this research show how cooperation, consultation and coordination are demonstrated in the communication style between the Village Head and the VCC. It has not been fully utilized in implementing its main responsibilities, especially in terms of coordination regarding community aspirations, despite the positive communication pattern between the Village Head and the VCC.
