When Indonesian village governments were granted authority, independence, and decentralized budget from the central government through Village Law No. 6 of 2014, most people predicted that it would not promote better village development. Instead, such a policy would increase corruption cases and subsequently persuade people not to trust the village government. It might interfere with the legitimacy of the village government's autonomy. Insufficient institutionalization of good governance in the village was one of the reasons. Hence, this study aims to examine the association between transparency after village governance reform—as one of the good governance principles—and village community trust intervened by corruption perception of villagers. This study employed a survey method and involved 128 village governments in the Special Region of Yogyakarta Province, Indonesia, as the samples. The Partial Least Square technique was used for hypothesis testing. This study discovered that transparency was positively associated with low corruption perception and high village community trust. Moreover, corruption perception from villagers was negatively associated with community trust and had a role as a partial intervening variable.

村政府的透明度和社区信任：对腐败的看法是否重要？

当印尼村政府通过 2014 年第 6 号村法从中央政府获得权力、独立和下放预算时，大多数人预测这不会促进更好的村发展。相反，这样的政策会增加腐败案件，进而说服人们不信任村政府。这可能会干扰村政府自治的合法性。村里良好治理的制度化不足是原因之一。因此，本研究旨在检验村庄治理改革后的透明度（作为善治原则之一）与村民腐败认知所干预的村庄社区信任之间的关联。本研究采用调查法，以印度尼西亚日惹省特区的128个村政府为样本。偏最小二乘法用于假设检验。这项研究发现，透明度与低腐败认知度和高村庄社区信任度呈正相关。此外，村民对腐败的看法与社区信任呈负相关，并起到了部分干预变量的作用。
