【 摘 要 】

The low level of quality of Human Resources (SDM) is one of the concerns of Indonesia. This is caused by the level of reading interest of the Indonesian people that is very low. According to the census results of Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS) in 2015, the number of illiterates in Indonesia is about 5,984,075 people or 3.70%. Based on the results of the survey, it shows the critical issue of reading and literacy interests in Indonesia. Based on these problems, cooperation between society and the government is needed. One form of cooperations can be actualized by creating literacy villages as an effort to create a culturally literate society. The method used in this research is qualitative method. Through this approach, the researcher makes a complex picture, examines words, detailed reports from the respondents' views, and conducts studies in natural situations. The results showed that the community in Cipadung Village, Bandung participated in reducing the number of illiteracy through the literacy village movement. This activity is expected to be able to increase the reading interest of the people in Cipadung Village, Bandung towards literate society.
