Abstract

This community service activity aims to strengthen the governance of Talaka Village through the application of good governance principles by increasing legal awareness and community participation. The problem faced is the incompatibility between the ideal norm of public participation as stipulated in laws and regulations and the reality in the field which is still formalistic and has minimal community involvement. To overcome these problems, the method used in this service is qualitative legal research with a Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) approach. The results of the service show that the practice of community participation in village governance is still administrative and symbolic, influenced by limited access to public information and weak communication mechanisms between apparatus and residents. Through PRA-based legal socialization, there is an increase in participant involvement in discussions, the growth of community legal awareness, and the opening of a more equal dialogue space between village officials and the community. Thus, this service contributes to strengthening the capacity of the apparatus and encouraging the creation of more participatory, transparent, and sustainable governance at the local level.

Abstract

The discourse on holding regional head elections without deputy regional heads has once again raised fundamental questions concerning the design of regional leadership and the distribution of authority within local government. The main issue is not merely the existence of the deputy regional head position, but the imbalance between the electoral legitimacy jointly obtained by regional heads and deputy regional heads as a pair and the legal construction of authority that makes the regional head the primary holder of governmental authority. In contrast, the deputy regional head primarily serves in an assisting role. This study analyzes the problems in the distribution of authority between regional heads and deputy regional heads in the context of the discourse on regional head elections without deputy regional heads. It proposes a clearer, legally grounded, and accountable reconstruction of their institutional relationship and distribution of authority. This study uses a normative-empirical legal research method, drawing on statutory, conceptual, and case approaches. The findings indicate that unclear boundaries of authority create room for political agreements and personal-political dynamics to influence the distribution of roles, potentially causing legal uncertainty and institutional disharmony. Abolishing the deputy regional head position does not necessarily resolve these problems, as it may instead create new issues around workload distribution, succession mechanisms, coordination, and continuity of government. Therefore, a reconstruction is required to clarify the sources and limits of authority, establish the distribution of duties through formal instruments, strengthen measurable coordination and accountability mechanisms, and position political agreements solely as coordination instruments rather than sources of authority.
