This forum plays a vital role in actualizing participatory democracy at the local level. This study aims to analyze the implementation of democratic values in the village deliberation of Ciheulang Village, Bandung Regency. Using a qualitative case study method, data were collected through interviews and documentation. The results show that the participation rate in Ciheulang’s village deliberations is relatively high, reflecting a strong democratic tradition rooted in communal culture.
