Abstract

This study aims to analyze how regional policy innovation contributes to the implementation of human rights-based inclusiveness in Wonosobo Regency, Indonesia, and to identify the gap between formal policy commitments and substantive implementation. The study focuses on accessibility governance, inclusive education, and disability-based economic empowerment at the district-government level. This research employed a qualitative case study approach within a constructivist paradigm. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, field observations, and documentation studies involving local government officials, disability organizations, education stakeholders, and regional policy documents. The study examined accessibility inspections in public facilities, inclusive education practices in schools, and disability-based Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprise (MSME) empowerment through the Difabel Mart program. The results show that regional policy innovation in Wonosobo Regency has expanded formal access and institutional recognition for vulnerable groups. Accessibility inspections were conducted in 24 public facilities, inclusive education services expanded to 184 schools serving 466 students with disabilities, and disability-based MSME programs increased participation and market visibility for persons with disabilities. However, significant implementation gaps remain. Several accessibility facilities were only partially functional, institutional readiness among schools was uneven, and the sustainability of disability-based MSMEs remained dependent on government facilitation and event-based promotion. This study concludes that the main challenge in implementing human rights-based inclusiveness in Wonosobo Regency lies not in the absence of policy commitment, but in the uneven transformation of inclusive policies into substantive and sustainable governance practices.
