Abstract
The government must involve the community within the
infrastructure development in order to create, operate and
maintain it. This is “participatory democracy”, “participatory
development” and “people centred development”. It will
implement the empowerment of the rural community through
inspiration of community, public participation and a democratic
culture.
Through research, debate and data analysis the researchers
concluded that the most important type of infrastructure is water
supply. Additionally, sanitation, electricity and
telecommunication follow on its heels, for development of
infrastructure for this particular community.
