Abstract

This study aims to describe the role of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in strengthening public participation in Malang Municipality. The research sample was determined purposively from 18 functional NGOs. The data were obtained through interviews and documentation, and the analysis was carried out in a descriptive qualitative manner. The research was carried out in two stages. The first stage is to identify and classify NGOs into three categories, namely developmentalist (parastatal), liberal reformist (professional), and transformationalist (progressive). The research findings show that among the three categories of NGOs studied, it appears that only NGOs with the liberal reformist (professional) category has the most significant role in strengthening public participation. This is because the ideals and moderation possessed by NGOs in the liberal reformist category allow opportunities to collaborate with other parties in carrying out the function of articulating and mobilizing the interests of the citizen. Meanwhile the other two categories of NGOs in the implementation of their activities tend to depend on other parties, especially the bureaucracy.
