Principles of Good Governance in the Preparationof Regional Regulations

Abstract

Good governance in the preparation of local regulations (Perda) is an approach that prioritizes transparency, accountability, community participation, rule of law, and responsiveness to produce regulations that support regional autonomy and the public interest. This study aims to analyze the principles of good governance, challenges in their implementation, and strategies to overcome them in the context of drafting local regulations. The principles include public involvement, openness of the legislative process, accountability of decision-makers, alignment with higher laws, and responsiveness to local needs. However, challenges such as low public participation, lack of transparency, weak accountability, limited capacity of the apparatus, and political pressure hinder implementation.Coping strategies include strengthening public consultation, utilizing digital platforms for transparency, establishing an independent evaluation team, technical training for officials, and data-based analysis for responsiveness. This study concludes that the application of good governance in the preparation of local regulations can produce democratic, relevant and quality regulations, which in turn strengthen local governance and public trust.
