Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dan studi kasus untuk mengungkap praktik demokrasi terkait implementasi Dana Desa yang terjalin erat dengan budaya lokal. Subjek dalam penelitian ini adalah penduduk baru di Desa Fatuba'a yang secara geografis berdekatan dengan perbatasan antara Indonesia dan Timor-Leste. Hampir separuh dari penduduk Fatuba'a adalah penduduk baru eks pengungsi Timor-Leste. Banyaknya penduduk baru telah menjadi masalah sosial yang kompleks bagi Desa Fatuba'a. Teknik pengumpulan data meliputi observasi, wawancara mendalam, dan diskusi kelompok terfokus. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa lembaga adat memiliki peran yang signifikan dalam mendistribusikan kekuasaan baik dalam aspek pemerintahan maupun pembangunan desa, termasuk dalam penyaluran penggunaan dana desa. Suku Liudasik merupakan suku dominan yang berhasil mendapatkan legitimasi penduduk baru dengan memberikan tanah ulayat sebagai tempat tinggal dan bercocok tanam atas kontribusi mereka untuk memilih kepala desa dari suku Liudasik. Dalam konteks Dana Desa, penggunaannya juga menunjukkan adanya saling ketergantungan antara penghuni baru dengan suku Liudasik. Dengan demikian, penduduk baru memiliki akses ke dana desa.

The data collection techniques consist of observation, in-depth interviews, and focus group discussions. The results showed that customary institutions play a significant role in distributing power both in aspects of government and village development, including the distribution of village funds-use. The Liudasik tribe is a successful dominant tribe obtaining legitimacy of the new residents by granting customary land as a place to live and farming for their contribution to elect the village head from the Liudasik tribe. In the context of the Village Fund, its use also shows the interdependence between new residents and the Liudasik tribe. Consequently, the new residents have an access to village funds. There is no exclusion of new residents for the Fatuba'a's Village Fund-use. The dependence of new residents on customary institutions has perpetuated the customary power of the Liudasik tribe.
