Abstract

Research Objective: This study examines the effects of Law Number 6 of 2014 concerning Village Governance (the Village Law) on democratic perceptions and civic participation in Rahong Village, Malingping District, Lebak Regency, West Java Province. Research Method: Employing an empirical juridical approach within a qualitative research design, the study draws on primary data from semi-structured interviews with village officials, community leaders, and residents, supplemented by direct observation and document analysis. Results: The Village Law has positively reshaped citizens’ perceptions of the quality of local governance and established formal institutional channels for broader community participation in planning and decision-making. Findings and Implications: Implementation remains constrained by limited administrative capacity, insufficient transparency in budget management, accountability deficits, and uneven civic awareness, resulting in a participation gap between the law’s normative aspirations and observable democratic practice. Conclusion: While the Village Law has advanced grassroots democracy by devolving substantial authority to local communities, its full democratic potential remains unrealized due to persistent structural and capacity-related challenges. Contribution: This study provides original empirical evidence to scholarship on decentralization, democratic deepening, and the governance-participation nexus in rural Indonesia, with concrete implications for policy actions aimed at reinforcing village-level democracy. Limitations and Suggestions: The study is limited to a single-village context, which may limit generalizability. Future research should expand to multiple villages or districts and employ mixed-methods approaches to further validate and broaden these findings.

Abstract

Village governance, as the level of government closest to the community, plays a crucial role in strengthening democracy in Indonesia. Law Number 6 of 2014 on Village Governance has significantly transformed the governance paradigm by granting greater authority to local communities. This study aims to examine the implications of the law on community perceptions and democratic participation in Rahong Village, Malingping District, Lebak Regency. This research employs an empirical juridical approach with qualitative methods, focusing on community attitudes and behaviors toward the implementation of the law. The findings indicate that the law has a positive impact on community perceptions of the quality of village governance and encourages greater participation in democratic processes. Nevertheless, several challenges remain, including limited institutional capacity, lack of transparency, and issues of accountability. These findings provide important insights for the formulation of more effective policies aimed at strengthening democracy at the village level in Indonesia.
