The Performance of Regency–City DPRDs In The Formulation of Regional Regulations In Indonesia

Abstract

This study aims to explain and analyze the performance of DPRD in the formulation of regional regulations to realize people's welfare in Indonesia. The focus of the study is on the productivity produced by the DPRD in the form of regional regulations within one year 2021. The focus is on how much regional regulations are stipulated by the DPRD in 2021? How is the regional regulation related to the achievement of the regional development vision and mission? DPRD performance achievements are seen quantitatively as well as qualitatively. This research uses a descriptive method with a qualitative approach. The data was obtained from metadata obtained from the websites of selected districts/cities purposively in a number of 59 regions representing 34 provinces. Data validity was carried out by researchers through triangulation of data-based sources on the websites of regional work units and other relevant sources. The results of the study concluded that the DPRD's performance achievement in the formulation of regional regulations was not optimal. This is shown by the fact that there are still many draft regional regulations that have not been finalized in the 2021 trial year. Quantitatively, the DPRD is only able to enact regional regulations in 2021 as much as 59.19%, meaning that as much as 48.81% of the proposed regional regulation drafts have not been finalized to become regulations. In several districts/cities this condition is affected by budget constraints, where in 2020 and 2021 it is more focused on efforts to recover the community's economy after the Covid 19 pandemic. Efforts to achieve community welfare by DPRD have been carried out through a focus on solving problems based on growing potential and aspirations on society. DPRD performance in the formulation of regional regulations both in quantity and quality, continues to be pursued.
