Formulasi Kebijakan Peraturan Desa dalam Penanggulangan Tambang Batuan Jenis Tertentu di Desa Tanjung Kabupaten Magelang

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the process of formulating a Village Regulation (Perdes) in Tanjung Village concerning the rejection of Sirtu mining activities, using the policy formulation theory of the democratic model by Thomas R. Dye. The importance of this study arises from the environmental and social threats faced by the people of Tanjung Village due to mining activities, which necessitate a policy to protect the environment. This research employs a qualitative approach using interviews, observations, and document analysis to understand the role of the community, village government, and Village Consultative Body (BPD) in the policy formulation process. The results show that the Perdes formulation process involved active community participation at every stage, from problem identification to policy enactment. Both the community and village government agreed to reject mining due to concerns about environmental degradation. However, technical challenges arose in the legislative process, particularly in understanding the correct format and procedures for drafting the Perdes in line with higher regulations. The conclusion of this study highlights the importance of community participation in village policy formulation to achieve effective legitimacy and implementation. Although successful, the study identifies a lack of technical support from higher-level government, which impacted the legislative process. This study emphasizes the necessity for technical assistance and capacity-building for village governments to improve future policy formulation.
