This study conducted in three villages, namely Pujon Kidul Village, Krebet Village, and Sanankerto Village in Malang Regency, East Java. Through the case study method, the research concluded that the pattern of democratic institutionalization based on the rational choice institutionalism approach in managing village funds proved to be successful in managing village funds whereas the design of institutionalizing democracy that uses a normative institutional approach has proven to be a failure in managing village funds.
