<![CDATA[This study examines institutional and environmental conditions associated with the frequency of village deliberation meetings across 2,860 villages in South Sumatra, Indonesia. Using the 2024 Village Potential Statistics (PODES), it combines negative binomial regression with Poisson and OLS sensitivity models, along with a supplementary fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA). The outcome is the number of deliberation meetings conducted in 2023, not attendance or deliberative quality. Negative binomial estimates show positive associations for administrative capacity (IRR = 1.0018, p = 0.004), BUMDes presence (IRR = 1.1548, p = 0.003), and environmental or service infrastructure programs (IRR = 1.0977, p = 0.002). Customary institutions, complete planning documentation, and simultaneous active PLD-KPM support are not independently associated with the number of meetings. Direct calibration uses anchors of 2, 5.5, and 13.5 meetings for the outcome and 11, 27.5, and 81 apparatus members for administrative capacity. Only one truth-table row meets the primary fsQCA thresholds (frequency = 15, consistency = 0.871, PRI = 0.748, coverage = 0.009), and it does not survive stricter frequency or PRI decisions. The findings therefore support a capacity-and-delivery interpretation of deliberation intensity but not claims of robust equifinality or inclusive citizen influence.]]>
