Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa peran Badan Permusyawaratan Desa (BPD) dan penyusunan peraturan desa telah dilakukan dengan cara partisipatif tetapi tidak optimal karena beberapa faktor. Peraturan desa harus disusun oleh BPD, tapi peraturan desa yang digagas dan dirancang oleh Kepala Desa. BPD kurangnya pengetahuan yang berkaitan dengan tugas dan fungsi mereka dalam undang-undang desa, mekanisme dan proses pembuatan peraturan desa partisipatif, dan BPD kurang optimal dalam membuat sinergi dengan masyarakat terkait partisipatif pembuatan peraturan desa. Hak-hak masyarakat di Desa Bojong telah partisipatif dalam membuat peraturan desa tetapi tidak optimal seperti yang diatur Pasal 96 UU Nomor 12 Tahun 2011 tentang undang-undang yang berkaitan dengan hak-hak partisipasi publik. Pembuatan peraturan desa di Bojong sejauh dilakukan dengan desa musyawarah publik oleh tokoh-tokoh masyarakat sebagai perwakilan masyarakat dari masing-masing sub desa untuk menyampaikan aspirasi masyarakat dalam membuat peraturan desa di Desa Bojong. Hasil wawancara dengan ketua BPD di Desa Bojong menyarankan bahwa musyawarah desa dalam membuat peraturan desa hanya formalitas, karena mayoritas peserta seperti tokoh masyarakat, tokoh agama, tokoh pemuda, dan anggota BPD hampir selalu setuju dengan rancangan peraturan desa diusulkan oleh pemerintah desa. Kata Kunci: Badan Permusyawaratan Desa (BPD), Peraturan Desa, Partisipatif]]>
