Abstract

Public participation constitutes an essential element of a democratic state governed by law and serves as an integral component in formulating responsive policies oriented toward public interests. This study aims to analyze the urgency of public participation as an instrument for strengthening democracy and to examine the role of good governance principles in supporting effective public involvement in policy formulation. This research employs a normative legal method with a comparative approach through library research utilizing relevant primary and secondary legal materials. Primary legal sources consist of laws and regulations concerning public information disclosure, governmental administration, and legislative drafting, while secondary sources are derived from scientific publications issued over the last five years. The findings indicate that public participation plays a significant role in enhancing policy legitimacy, quality, and accountability. Furthermore, the implementation of good governance principles through transparency, accountability, and responsiveness contributes to more effective public participation. The synergy between public participation and good governance is crucial for strengthening democracy and promoting a more responsive government capable of addressing societal needs.
