Abstract

Community participation is an important aspect in designing democratic public policies. Community participation takes the form of contributing ideas and opinions as well as supporting policies proposed by the government. The aim of this research is to determine the impact of community participation on public policy in both democratic and authoritarian country contexts. The research method used is a literature review and analysis of secondary data from various sources related to the topic. This study shows that community participation can have a significant impact on the policy-making process. Community participation can increase political legitimacy, strengthen government accountability, and strengthen the representation of community interests in the political process. However, there are also several factors that can influence the effectiveness of community participation, such as government openness, access to information, and freedom of expression. In addition, public participation in the context of an authoritarian state is often limited by political control and state repression of critical voices. Therefore, this research highlights the importance of community participation in the policy-making process as a mechanism to strengthen democracy, improve policy quality, and ensure fair and inclusive representation of the interests of the Masu community. Further research is needed to examine the factors that influence the effectiveness of public participation and strategies to increase public participation in the public policy process.
