However, the overall effectiveness of the program heavily depends on active community participation. Therefore, to address this, the researchers suggest that the government encourage knowledge, awareness, and participation from the community.

This study explores Mohammad Hatta's influence on housing policies in Indonesia, highlighting his integration of Islamic principles into public policy to enhance societal welfare. Hatta viewed housing as a fundamental human right that extends beyond physical needs to encompass spiritual and social dimensions. Grounded in Islamic values such as justice (‘adl), trust (amanah), and solidarity (ta'awun), his policies aimed to ensure equitable access to adequate housing, particularly for low-income communities, while promoting holistic well-being. Hatta’s vision aligned with Islamic teachings that emphasize fairness and state responsibility in fulfilling basic human rights, as reflected in QS. An-Nisa: 58. His ideas inspired initiatives like the Sejuta Rumah (One Million Houses) Program and Tapera (People’s Housing Savings), which address housing disparities and support societal harmony. Additionally, Hatta championed cooperative-based housing development, fostering community participation and mutual assistance, which not only ensured affordable housing but also empowered local economies. By integrating Islamic principles into housing policies, Hatta demonstrated how public policy could balance material, social, and spiritual needs to achieve sustainable societal welfare. His approach offers a valuable framework for future housing programs to promote justice, inclusivity, and collective prosperity.

This research aims to explain the management control of public street lighting (PJU) in Tanjungpinang City. PJU is an important element in creating safety and comfort for the community in economic, social and traffic activities. However, not all areas in Tanjungpinang have been covered by PJU facilities, and many PJUs are damaged. This research uses the control theory by T. Hani Handoko (2010) which consists of 1) Feedforward control, 2) Concurrent control, and 3) Feedback control. The research method used is qualitative with data collection techniques of observation, interview, and documentation. The results showed that PJU management control in Tanjungpinang City was not optimal. In feedforward control, there are obstacles such as the lack of community participation in PJU development planning. In concurrent control, coordination between the community, the Housing, Settlement Areas, Cleanliness and Parks Office, consultants, PLN, and contractors has not been optimal. While in feedback control, the lack of community participation in reporting damage and maintenance of PJU is only done based on reports or surveys with priority on protocol roads. Routine supervision is limited due to limited human resources, and response to public complaints is slow. This study concludes that the improvement of PJU management requires good planning and active community participation.

Performance audit is a strategic instrument to strengthen transparency and accountability in the governance of Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDes). However, current practices of BUMDes auditing in Indonesia remain limited, fragmented, and often fail to uphold the principles of good governance. This study aims to identify and synthesize the implementation of performance audits in BUMDes across various regions through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) of 28 articles published between 2013 and 2024. Sources were obtained from Scopus, DOAJ, Google Scholar, and Garuda, with thematic analysis applied. The study identifies five core issues: weak internal audit mechanisms, limited community participation, low utilization of information technology, cultural resistance, and the role of audits in improving village economic performance. The paper proposes a participatory audit model grounded in local familial values and supported by appropriate digital tools. This hybrid model is contextually suited to promote accountability in rural areas where institutional capacity is limited but social cohesion is strong. Theoretically, this research extends the relevance of stewardship theory and participatory governance to micro-level public sector entities. Policy implications highlight the need for adaptive, community-based audit mechanisms as a foundation for accountable rural development

This study examines the transformation of the mindset of the people of Saringembat Village concerning environmental cleanliness, from the stage of awareness to concrete actions. Saringembat Village, which previously faced challenges in managing environmental cleanliness, has shown significant changes in the views and behavior of its residents after implementing several community work programs and public participation. The research method used is a qualitative approach with data collection techniques through interviews and observations. The results of the study indicate that the main driving factors for this transformation are continuous training, the involvement of community leaders, and support from external actors such as the government and NGOs. This change is reflected in the growing individual awareness of the importance of cleanliness, better waste management, and active community participation in regular cleanliness activities.

This study discusses the optimization of sanitation and environmental cleanliness in realizing a Healthy and Prosperous Village in Saringembat Village through a collaborative approach and community education. This program is based on the SDGs point of Healthy and Prosperous Villages, with a focus on the importance of clean environmental conditions and good sanitation as the foundation for public health. The methods used include surveys of locations for illegal waste disposal, interviews, and focus group discussions (FGD) with the Head of the Village Consultation Agency (BPD) and local waste bank managers. The survey results show five main waste disposal points that became the primary focus of the program. Collaboration with village officials resulted in full support in the form of drafting a village regulation on cleanliness and the installation of CCTV to prevent illegal waste disposal. The program also involved community service activities starting from Sawir Hamlet, Krajan Hamlet, and Demaan Hamlet, with active community participation and direct coordination from the hamlet heads. The implementation of the program proved to increase residents' awareness of the importance of sanitation, reduce the risk of infectious diseases, and create a healthier environment. The role of students as activity initiators was appreciated for their ability to revive the gotong royong (mutual cooperation) culture, which had been abandoned.

Development through community participation in villages is one of the efforts to empower the potential of village communities in planning development related to local resource potentials. The research questions in this study are: (1) How is the community participation in the development of Merbaun Village, West Amarasi Subdistrict, Kupang Regency? (2) What factors may hinder the success of community participation in village development in Merbaun Village, West Amarasi Subdistrict, Kupang Regency?  This research is a juridical-empirical study with a qualitative approach, using primary data collection techniques through interviews. Secondary data was obtained through literature studies.  The results of the study show that community participation in Merbaun Village development can be analyzed through three stages: planning, implementation, and supervision. Each stage shows different dynamics and levels of participation. (1) Planning Stage: At this stage, community participation is considered high. The village government conducts a development planning deliberation (Musdus) to absorb the aspirations of the community. Interview results show that the community is actively providing input and suggestions, reflecting a strong motivation and concern for the proposed development programs. (2) Implementation Stage: In contrast to the planning stage, the level of community participation in the implementation of development drops significantly. Although the village government opens opportunities for mutual cooperation (gotong-royong), community attendance is inadequate, with many absent. This indicates a lack of understanding and awareness among the community regarding the importance of their participation in the physical activities that have been agreed upon. (3) Supervision Stage: The supervision of the development also shows a lack of participation. The community should be involved in monitoring and evaluating development programs. However, most of the community members do not understand their role in the supervision process, as revealed in the interviews.The study suggests that community participation in the development of Merbaun Village should be increased to make development outcomes more effective and sustainable, in accordance with the principles outlined in Law Number 6 of 2014 concerning Villages.

This paper analyzes the implementation of citizenship rights in Indonesia, focusing on the interaction between public officials and the public. The important role of officials in policy making and implementation, as well as the active role of the public in participation and oversight, are discussed in depth. In addition, the article also presents some solutions to overcome these problems, with the aim of improving the quality of citizens' rights implementation. The implementation of citizenship rights between officials and the public in Indonesia is a complex and dynamic process. Despite the challenges, a commitment to democratic principles and the protection of citizens' rights can strengthen the relationship between officials and communities. With an inclusive and participatory approach, Indonesia can build a more just, transparent and sustainable society. The value of equality means that every citizen has equal rights, equal obligations, and equal standing before the law and government. This value in this reform era is very decisive for the journey of life in society, nation and state, as a signpost in achieving national ideals and national goals. Public participation in the political and decision-making process is essential to maintain the sustainability of democracy. People have the right to be involved in the discussion and determination of policies that affect their lives. Through elections, public forums and various other participatory mechanisms, people can express their aspirations and control public officials. This study analyzes the level of political participation in general elections in rural Indonesia. Through a survey of a number of respondents, this research identifies factors that influence political participation, such as education level, political awareness, and access to information. The results show that the level of political participation in rural areas is still low and is influenced by several obstacles. This research suggests the importance of improving the quality of political education and providing adequate infrastructure to increase people's political participation. As the subject of citizens' rights, the community has a very important role in ensuring these rights are realized. This paper discusses how the community can play an active role in political participation, oversight of the government, and in demanding their rights. The challenges faced by the community in carrying out this role, as well as efforts to increase community participation, are also reviewed.

Accountability in managing Village Fund Allocation (ADD) is crucial to ensure effective, efficient, and compliant use of the funds. This study investigates how accountability in ADD management is implemented in Lattimu Village, Bola Subdistrict, Wajo Regency, through planning, implementation, and reporting stages while identifying supporting and inhibiting factors. Using a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study method, data were gathered through interviews, observations, and documentation. The findings reveal that ADD accountability in Lattimu Village aligns with applicable regulations, covering planning, implementation, and reporting processes. Active community participation during village meetings emerged as a significant supporting factor. However, challenges such as limited technological proficiency among village officials and the community's low educational levels hinder effective management. The study recommends increasing human resource capacity through technical training and fostering greater community involvement in decision-making forums. Strengthening these aspects is expected to enhance the transparency, effectiveness, and efficiency of ADD management, ensuring better outcomes for the village development initiatives.
