Contemporary approach to risk had been developed well in many types of organization but still lack of attention about how this could be applied in village government. The purpose of this study is to helps us to understand the emerging concept of knowledge management by exploring the relation between risk and knowledge management. The development of studies and best practices has brought new understanding to how the practice of managing risk in a cross-sectoral institution. But in the other hand the knowledge management perspective is often not used properly in explaining how to conceptualize institutional risk at the village government level. Based on problem that identified in this study, knowledge management theory is presented as a conceptual orientation to institutional risk in village that confronts such attention needed. In addition to furthering a village organization’s understanding of major institutional risks, a risk management knowledge framework also provides opportunities for building organizational resilience. This study provides and propose an integrated perspective of knowledge management in village institutional-based organizations. It offers valuable guidelines that can help decision makers consider key issues during a risk assessment of knowledge factors in village institutional management. Outputs of this model could be considered as an extensive assessment report about the risk of knowledge loss in a village organization with suggestions for preservation plans to mitigate its effects in various aspect of village governance.
