COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION IN DEVELOPMENT PLANNING DELIBERATION IN PUSAKA RAKYAT VILLAGE, TARUMAJAYA DISTRICT, BEKASI REGENCY

Abstract

This study aims to determine the level of community participation in the development planning deliberation (Musrenbang) process in Pusaka Rakyat Village and identify factors that influence community involvement. The research method used was descriptive qualitative, with research subjects including village officials, community leaders, and residents who participated in the deliberation. Data collection was conducted through interviews with informants directly involved and existing documentation. Data analysis was conducted by reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results show that community participation in the Musrenbang in Pusaka Rakyat Village is quite high, especially from community leaders and residents aged 50 years and above, although the participation of young and vulnerable groups is still low. The main factor influencing participation is the unmet needs of the community, especially related to infrastructure and public facilities. Community involvement in musrenbang affects the effectiveness of development planning and implementation, with a positive impact on the determination of development priorities and project supervision to avoid budget misuse. Evaluation of participation is conducted to improve the quality of future development projects, with better community involvement.
