<![CDATA[This study examines the implementation of the principles of participation and openness in the process of drafting village regulations. The focus of the study is directed at an in-depth analysis of the application of the principles of good governance, especially community participation and information openness in the legislative process at the village level, and identifying various factors that inhibit the application of these principles. This study uses a qualitative methodology with an empirical legal approach to obtain a comprehensive understanding of the social and legal phenomena in the process of drafting village regulations. Data collection was carried out through a series of in-depth interviews with various stakeholders, direct observation of the process of drafting village regulations, and extensive documentation studies. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of the principles of participation and openness in the drafting of village regulations has not yet reached an optimal level. Community participation still tends to be limited to the socialization stage, while information openness has not been fully integrated into each stage of the drafting of village regulations. The various inhibiting factors identified include internal aspects such as limited human resources and infrastructure, as well as external aspects such as socio-cultural conditions and local political dynamics. This study produces comprehensive recommendations for improving the quality of community participation and openness in the process of drafting village regulations.Keyword: Participation, Transparency, Village Regulations]]>
