This research uses a descriptive approach with qualitative methods, with data collection techniques namely observation, interviews, documentation. The results of the research concluded that: First, the role of BUMDes in increasing the fulfillment of residents' social needs is still not fully implemented well because the type of BUMDes business is still constrained so that people feel dissatisfied with using BUMDes facilities.
