Abstract

Urban villages (kelurahan) are regional administrative units that play a strategic role as the frontline of government services to the community. However, in practice, the function of kelurahan has narrowed into merely administrative tasks without adequate authority in development and community empowerment. This study aims to analyze the reorientation of kelurahan functions within the regional government system based on the principles of regional autonomy and public service effectiveness. The research method used is a normative juridical approach utilizing secondary data from laws and regulations, legal literature, and relevant scientific journals. The results indicate that the position of kelurahan after decentralization has significantly changed because kelurahan are no longer autonomous administrative regions but rather sub-district apparatuses with administrative characteristics. This condition limits the authority of village heads (lurah) in local policymaking. Therefore, reorientation of kelurahan functions is necessary through strengthening public service authority, increasing community participation, and optimizing coordination and community empowerment functions to create effective, responsive, and community-oriented regional governance.
