Abstract

Community participation in the village development process is one of the key indicators of successful good governance and sustainable development implementation. This article provides a descriptive-argumentative analysis of community involvement in the development process of Gunung Putri Village, Bogor Regency, by examining the roles of local actors, participatory mechanisms, and socio-economic dynamics that affect policy effectiveness. Drawing from data by the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS) Bogor Regency (2023, 2025), the latest regulations such as Law No. 3 of 2024 on Villages and Ministerial Regulation of Village Affairs No. 6 of 2023 on Village Development Planning, and field research findings, the study finds that community participation in Gunung Putri has increased formally but remains substantively limited. Restricted public information access, elite domination, low policy literacy, and growing social heterogeneity due to urbanization are major factors hindering citizens’ active roles in development planning. This article argues that the success of participatory governance depends not only on formal regulations but also on social capacity and participatory infrastructure that bridge local government and the community. Therefore, strengthening institutional capacity, ensuring information transparency, and developing digital participation innovations are essential steps toward inclusive and equitable village governance.
