Abstract

Public participation is one of the key factors for the successful implementation of decentralization and regional autonomy. The formulation of Regional Regulations (Perda) that prioritizes political interests over public concerns will undermine the spirit of autonomy in creating democracy at the regional level. Regional Regulations are part of the legislative framework in Indonesia, governed by Law No. 12 of 2011 on the Formation of Legislation. The development of Perda requires public input to ensure the regulations are responsive and accountable, thus preventing conflicts within the community. The aim of this study is to analyze the importance of realizing meaningful public participation in the formulation of Perda in Indonesia. This study employs a qualitative approach with a legislative and conceptual perspective. Secondary data was collected through a literature review and analyzed progressively using data display, data reduction, and conclusion drawing techniques. The results of the study show that achieving meaningful participation in the formulation of Perda emphasizes the principles of transparency and public involvement, responsive regulations, able to meet the community’s expectations, and effective in addressing local issues. The public (interest groups), as subjects, must have the right to be heard, the right to have their opinions considered, and the right to receive explanations or responses to their input. This study aims to encourage the development of responsive and accountable Regional Regulations that meet the needs of the community and regional development, as well as provide recommendations to stakeholders on establishing specific and transparent forms of public participation.
