Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of village government in gender-based community empowerment in Curuglanglang Village, Munjul District, Pandeglang Regency. Gender inequality remains a significant issue at the village level, where women's participation in development is still limited. The research applies the Harvard Gender Analysis Model focusing on four key components to understand gender roles and relations within the community. This study employs a descriptive qualitative method by conducting in-depth interviews with nine informants from various community groups, and data validity was tested through triangulation. The findings indicate that the village government’s role in gender-based community empowerment is still suboptimal. The low participation of women in development activities and the lack of public awareness regarding gender equality are major obstacles. The village government is expected to formulate more gender-responsive policies and programs, and to enhance education and public awareness of women’s vital role in village development.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the comparison of the implementation of simultaneous village head elections in Pandeglang Regency, focusing on two villages, namely Tegalwangi Village, Menes District and Tegal Cikedal Village, Pandeglang Regency. This study examines the extent of effectiveness, community participation, as well as driving and inhibiting factors in the village head election process in the two regions. The study uses William N. Dunn's evaluation theory as an analytical framework, with a qualitative descriptive method. Data was collected through interviews, observations, and documentation of ten key informants directly involved in the implementation of the village head election. Data analysis was carried out using the Miles and Huberman interactive model which included data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawn. The results of the study show that the implementation of simultaneous village head elections in Pandeglang Regency is generally going well and democratically, reflected in the increase in community participation and acceptance of the election results. However, it was found that there are potential obstacles such as the practice of black campaigns that still occur in several village head candidates. Therefore, it is necessary to increase supervision and enforcement of rules to ensure that the implementation of the next village head election runs more transparently, honestly, and with integrity.

Abstract

The Democracy Index, compiled by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), has been measuring democratic conditions across 167 countries since 2006. In 2021, Indonesia received a composite score of 6.71, placing it at rank 52 in the 'flawed democracy' category. While the electoral process and pluralism indicator scored 9.17, civil liberties remained notably low at 6.18. This study aims to identify the factors contributing to the decline in civil liberties space and its impact on the quality of democracy in Indonesia in 2021. Employing a qualitative approach through literature study, participatory observation, and interviews with political elites, academics, and civil society representatives, this research analyzes civil liberties across four dimensions: freedom of assembly and association, freedom of opinion, freedom of belief, and freedom from discrimination. The findings reveal that the decline in civil liberties is driven by restrictive regulations such as the CSO Law and the ITE Law, excessive use of force against protesters, criminalization of public expression, persistent religious intolerance, and inadequate enforcement of anti-discrimination laws. The study concludes that strengthening civil liberties requires comprehensive legal reform, enhanced human rights education for law enforcement, and genuine government commitment to protecting fundamental freedoms as pillars of democratic governance.
