Abstract

This study aims to examine the determinants of public trust in village government in encouraging community political participation in the South Cianjur region. The transformation of village governance after the reform era through Law Number 6 of 2014 has positioned villages as strategic arenas of local democracy; however, challenges related to transparency and low substantive participation remain significant issues in semi-peripheral rural areas.The research employed a quantitative approach using an explanatory research design through Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) analysis involving 170 respondents. The results indicate that village government transparency has a positive and significant effect on public trust (H1) as well as on community political participation (H2). Public trust was also found to significantly influence the enhancement of citizens’ political participation (H3). Furthermore, public trust acts as a significant mediating variable that strengthens the indirect relationship between transparency and political participation (H4).These findings confirm that transparency constitutes a fundamental foundation for building social trust capital, capable of transforming participation patterns from transactional engagement into inclusive and sustainable participation. This study recommends that village governments strengthen information accessibility and institutional responsiveness to enhance governmental legitimacy at the local level.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the impact of village fund accountability and public information transparency on community participation in Sukanegara District. Using a quantitative approach and an explanatory research design, the study involved 170 respondents selected through purposive sampling techniques. Data were analyzed using the Structural Equation Modeling method based on Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS). The results indicate that village fund accountability has a positive and significant effect on community participation. This shows that the better the village government's accountability in managing the budget, the higher the level of citizens’ participation in development. In addition, transparency of public information also has a proven positive and significant effect on community participation. Easy access to information about village programs and budgets is an important factor that encourages residents to take part in monitoring and implementing activities. Overall, these two variables are able to explain 88.4% of the variation in community participation, with a strong level of predictive validity for the model. These findings emphasize the importance of strengthening transparent and accountable village governance to create a harmonious partnership between the government and the community for sustainable village development.
