<b>Participatory Decision Making in Planning and Implementation of Telaga Murni Village Development Program</b>

This study analyzes the dynamics of decision-making in developing the development agenda in Telaga Murni Village. Using descriptive qualitative methods, data were collected through in-depth interviews and a review of village strategic documents to present a factual picture of the situation on the ground. Research findings indicate that the planning mechanism is carried out in stages, starting with gathering aspirations at the neighborhood level and ending with consensus in village deliberation forums. However, program implementation remains limited by village fiscal capacity, making priority setting a crucial step. Although public involvement has been institutionalized, this participation is not fully equitable and is still dominated by certain representative groups. Regarding governance, the village government has strived for information transparency, although the consistency of its publication still requires further optimization.
