Abstract

This research is motivated by community participation in the Physical Development Planning Deliberation in Mekarmukti Village, Cisaga District, Ciamis Regency which is not yet optimal. The purpose of this study is to determine community participation in the physical development planning deliberation in Mekarmukti Village, Cisaga District, Ciamis Regency. The method used in this study is descriptive analysis. There are 6 informants. Data collection techniques are literature studies, field studies (observations and interviews) and documentation. The author uses qualitative data analysis techniques through processing data from interviews and observations to draw conclusions so that they can answer the problems in the study. Based on the results of the study, it is known that community participation in the Physical Development Planning Deliberation in Mekarmukti Village, Cisaga District, Ciamis Regency as a whole is still not optimal. The community has not been fully actively involved in every stage of physical development, from decision making, implementation, utilization of development results, to evaluation. Various obstacles such as limited information, lack of effective communication between the village government and residents, minimal capacity and motivation of the community, and lack of participatory monitoring mechanisms are the main factors that hinder community involvement. However, efforts to increase participation can be done through increased socialization, empowerment of community leaders, community capacity training, budget transparency and implementation, and strengthening participatory monitoring mechanisms.
