“…Each actor displays specific power characteristics that influence the planning deliberation. The results of this study suggest that planning deliberation is not a space for knowledge transfer but rather a space for power domination (Forester, 2013;Taufiq et al, 2021Taufiq et al, , 2022. It reveals how power holders create domination in the deliberation process.…”

This study is generated by the limited understanding of the actor's power on village-level deliberation. In community-level deliberation, especially for villagers, planning struggles with unbalanced power from involved actors to avoid potential failures due to inappropriate implementation and waste of state finances. Problems from policy formulation results have distorted the consensus. Community-based planning faces different power characteristics displayed by involved actors. However, it seems that this matter's understanding is mostly obtained in Western urban areas context and few have studied it in the rural context, even more, sourced from non-Western and global south practices. Questions arise on the power capabilities each actor has and its implications for the planning formulation results. This article aims to provide an understanding of the actor's position and their source of power. It investigates the power identities of involved actors on the community-level deliberation through a power cube approach. Community-level deliberation in Pematang Tengah village, Indonesian, is used as the case study. Primary data were obtained from interviews with twenty-one respondents, observation, and document analysis during 2018-2020. The result shows that each actor displays a specific power characteristic driving their influences on the planning formulation results. This condition has implications for the construction of the power holder's influence in dominating the deliberation process.

“…There has been a shift in deliberation patterns in rural communities, who previously entrusted deliberation to local leaders, toward more democratic dialogue transactions. The informal arena created by local elites is a means of realizing their interests (Chen, 2017;Gullino et al, 2018;Johansen and Chandler, 2015;Meijer and Syssner, 2017;Taufiq et al, 2022) This paper uses the term 'informality', meaning the use of power in the informal arena (Certomà and Notteboom, 2017). It is also known as the power that works outside of formal deliberations, for example in closed meetings (closed spaces) between individuals or group discussions to discuss development projects proposed at formal meetings (musrenbangdes).…”

Starting from the notion that collaborative rural planning focuses on policymaking through authentic dialogue, this article discusses the power dynamics that influence the planning process and product. It was motivated by the presumption that the understanding of collaborative policymaking is not adequate if it only concerns formal deliberation without considering other power dynamics. Booher and Innes’s model of network power in collaborative policymaking (DIAD–Diversity, Interdependence, Authentic Dialogue) and the power cube model of Gaventa were used to analyze the power mechanisms in the formal as well as in the informal arenas. They were applied to the process of village planning in Pematang Tengah, Indonesia, where the agrarian village community, deliberative bureaucrats, and other stakeholders are involved in formulating development rural planning projects. From the analysis a new model was derived, revealing three power mechanisms that are active in three different phases of the collaborative planning process: (I) Figuring out in openness, (II) Herding of public desire, and (III) Forcing of direction. The findings show that power mechanism (II) in the informal arena plays an important role by steering the course of policymaking in the formal arena (I). Power mechanism (III) is active when invisible actors illegitimately change the planning product that the formal deliberation has produced, acting out of self-interest. The analysis of power mechanisms that are active in the whole planning process can help planners in dealing with formal and informal power when developing appropriate planning strategies through a deliberative process.

“…Dari peraturan diatas menunjukkan adanya transparansi yang kuat dari pemerintah terhadap pengunaan dana desa. Namun yang menjadi persoalan dalam negara kita,bahwa dana desa yang dilserahkan oleh pemerintah pusat kepada pemerintah daerah dan diserahkan kepada birokrasi desa tidak dijalankan dengan baik atau adanya penyelewengan dana desa sehingga dana de sa dijadikan sebagai lahan korupsi terhadap pembangunan contohnya kasus yang terjadi pada Raja Negeri Tawiri JNT, SR selaku bendahara, NL sebagai sekretaris Negeri Tawiri yang didakwa ketiganya yang didakwa melakukan dugaan pidana korupsi kerugian Negara sebesar Rp 3 miliar dari hasil audit inspektorat (Taufiq et al, 2022).…”
