Abstract

This study examines the political processes undertaken by local political actors in advocating for Kampung Budaya Jalawastu to be recognized as a Traditional Village in Brebes Regency. It is particularly interesting to explore how local political elites act as decision-makers in addressing administrative, cultural, and political issues while balancing their respective interests. Kampung Budaya Jalawastu is the only hamlet proposed as a Traditional Village in Brebes Regency. The research was conducted over two months (November–December) using a descriptive qualitative method, with data collected through observation, interviews, and document analysis. The data were analyzed descriptively and validated through source and technique triangulation. This study employs elite theory as its analytical framework. The results show that: (1) Local political actors serving as key decision-makers include the Traditional Leader, the Council of Elders, the Village Secretary of Ciseureuh, the Village Head of Ciseureuh, the Head of the Cultural Division at the Brebes Regency Culture and Tourism Office, and the Regent of Brebes. Each actor utilizes their power based on individual interests. (2) Collaboration among the Traditional Leader, the Ciseureuh Village Government, and the Brebes Regency Government has been productive. (3) Advocacy efforts initiated by the Traditional Leader serve as a strategy to maintain their reputation and strengthen ties with the Brebes Regency Government. (4) The advocacy process has significant economic and autonomy implications for the community. This study can inform policies on the development of Traditional Villages, particularly in managing customary forests and communal lands for indigenous communities. It also serves as a reference for formulating Traditional Village governance policies rooted in local wisdom values.

Abstract

Kabupaten Brebes merupakan daerah dengan jumlah Daftar Pemilih Tetap (DPT) tertinggi di Jawa Tengah pada Pemilihan Kepala Daerah 2024, yaitu mencapai 1.521.720 pemilih. Namun demikian, tingkat partisipasi pemilih justru terendah se-Jawa Tengah, hanya sebesar 58,27%. Kondisi ini mengindikasikan adanya persoalan dalam kesadaran politik masyarakat, khususnya generasi muda. Berdasarkan Statistik Pemuda Indonesia 2024 yang diterbitkan BPS, sekitar 64,22 juta jiwa penduduk Indonesia tergolong pemuda, dan 22 juta di antaranya berada pada rentang usia 16–19 tahun atau setara dengan siswa SMA. SMA Negeri 2 Brebes sebagai sekolah unggulan dengan 1.254 siswa menjadi representasi penting dalam upaya peningkatan kesadaran politik. Namun, sekolah ini belum memiliki kurikulum, program reguler, maupun referensi yang memadai terkait pendidikan politik. Melihat permasalahan tersebut, solusi yang ditawarkan adalah penyelenggaraan Seminar Pendidikan Politik sebagai bentuk pengabdian kepada masyarakat. Kegiatan ini diharapkan mampu menumbuhkan pemahaman siswa mengenai hak dan tanggung jawab politik, sekaligus meningkatkan partisipasi politik generasi muda. Program ini juga mendukung pencapaian SDG’s 16: Perdamaian, Keadilan, dan Institusi yang Kuat, khususnya pada indikator peningkatan partisipasi politik.
