Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of civil engagement on the political preferences of the people in Kampung Naga during the 2024 regional head election process. Political preferences can reveal factors that influence a person's decision to participate in the regional head election. The study used a mixed method through the distribution of questionnaires and in-depth interviews with residents of Kampung Naga. The results showed that there was an influence between variables of 19%. This influence is very small. The researcher then studied it using a qualitative research approach. Some of the main reasons include traditional leaders who highly respect and give freedom to the community to choose, social changes in the form of modernization and changes in social values and access to various information such as social media. Factors such as personal preferences, family influences, and access to external information play a bigger role in shaping voter behavior. In the future, there needs to be further attention regarding social and cultural changes that can influence political behavior in traditional village communities.The recommendation in this study is to compare the implementation of elections in other indigenous communities in order to obtain comprehensive information regarding the influence of external culture and leadership on community behavior.

Abstract

This paper aims to explain local democracy in indigenous communities. To understand how local democracy is practiced in indigenous communities, it is necessary to trace how power is distributed in these communities. This study uses qualitative research methods that allow for in-depth exploration of local democracy and power distribution in the Kuta indigenous community. The practice of democracy in indigenous communities is not only present in formal mechanisms regulated by the state, but also through informal mechanisms rooted in tradition and local wisdom. In indigenous communities, regulations in various aspects of life are not only part of the functioning of formal government but also become a realm of regulation based on local customary values. Meanwhile, the democratic values of indigenous Indonesian communities generally stem from a spirit of togetherness and kinship. The tradition of deliberating to resolve issues, followed by consensus-based decision-making, is a manifestation of these values of togetherness and kinship. An important finding of this study is that the formal power structure in Kampung Kuta is divided into two structures, namely the formal structure run by the village government and the informal structure run by the customary leader, which includes the kuncen, customary elders, and village elders. The results of the study show that the practice of local democracy in Kampung Kuta can balance the division of formal and informal power, which serves to maintain community identity, strengthen social life, and ensure the sustainability of cultural values. This confirms how local democracy can adapt to traditional values.
