<![CDATA[The implementation of Special Autonomy in Papua recognizes indigenous communities in regional governance. However, the involvement of Indigenous Community Institutions (LMA) in public policy formulation still faces a gap between indigenous social legitimacy and formal bureaucratic authority. This study aims to analyze the position of LMA in public policy formulation, identify indigenous-bureaucratic integration barriers, and formulate a collaborative model in Jayawijaya Regency. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach using in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and document analysis. Data were analyzed through thematic analysis. The findings indicate that LMA has strong social and cultural legitimacy but has not been fully integrated into the public policy process.
