Deliberative Policy of Village Government in Village Fund Management in Jembrana Regency

Abstract

The village government in Jembrana Regency is a village that has not been included in the independent village category. The increasing development of village funds in each village in Jembrana Regency is an excellent opportunity in strengthening deliberative perspective policy. Village fund management maintained by deliberative approaches at the village government level is a big challenge to realize. The development of public policy theory encourages the government to formulate deliberative public policy, and the village government has room to apply the theory. This became an empirical and theoretical basis for researchers to conduct analysis related to deliberative policies in village government in village fund management. This research uses a mixed-method that combines qualitative and quantitative research to obtain more comprehensive data later. The research object in this study is in selected villages in Jembrana Regency. The findings in this study show that deliberative policy analysis, based on influence indicators, shows that each community group has been given space in influencing and making decisions in the village. The inclusion indicator shows that it has involved various figures and interest groups in the village in formulating policies through consensus deliberations. The last hand is that there is an open dialogue in mapping the problem, but policy determination must also look at the ability of the budget, especially village funds.
