There are several problems faced by the village, some of them came from village administration, in terms of unclear village border, increasing of land opening for oil palm plantation development initiated by locals, ethics education, and less interest of mathematics in elementary school students.  The applied method was initial observations together with village officials and the local community regarding the problems they faced.
