Abstract

This study analyzes the participation of indigenous communities in the implementation of regional autonomy in West Sumatra, particularly through the institutional role of the Nagari Customary Council (KAN). Regional autonomy in Indonesia, since the enactment of Law No. 22 of 1999 to Law No. 23 of 2014, has opened up space for nagari as a customary law community to contribute to regional development. This study uses a qualitative approach through literature review to examine the dimensions of indigenous peoples' participation in the planning, implementation, and supervision of nagari administration. The results of the study show that KAN plays a significant role in drafting nagari regulations, supervising the government, and channeling community aspirations. However, this participation is not yet optimal due to limited access to information, minimal involvement of customary institutions in the public policy process, and the dominance of local governments in the implementation of autonomy. Considering the limitations of literature studies, this research emphasizes the importance of strengthening the capacity of indigenous institutions, increasing the transparency of nagari governance, and multiparty collaboration as strategies to strengthen indigenous peoples' participation in the implementation of democratic and sustainable regional autonomy.

Review

This study offers a timely and relevant exploration into the intricate role of the Kerapatan Adat Nagari (KAN) in the planning and supervision of nagari governance within West Sumatra's regional autonomy framework. The paper adeptly contextualizes the discussion within Indonesia's evolving decentralization laws, highlighting the intended space for customary law communities like the nagari to contribute to regional development. By focusing on KAN's participation dimensions – planning, implementation, and supervision – the research provides a foundational understanding of how indigenous institutions engage with modern administrative structures. Overall, the study makes a valuable contribution to the discourse on local governance and the integration of traditional authority in contemporary democratic processes. A significant strength of this research lies in its clear identification of both the positive contributions and the inherent challenges faced by KAN. The findings effectively demonstrate KAN's substantial involvement in crucial areas such as drafting nagari regulations, overseeing government actions, and serving as a conduit for community aspirations. This nuanced portrayal underscores the potential for customary institutions to be vital actors in local administration. Furthermore, the paper robustly outlines key impediments to optimal participation, including restricted information access, limited engagement in public policy formation, and the prevailing influence of local governments. The proposed strategies—strengthening institutional capacity, enhancing transparency, and fostering multiparty collaboration—are well-considered and offer practical pathways for improving indigenous involvement. While providing a comprehensive overview through a qualitative literature review, the study's primary methodological approach inherently presents certain limitations. The reliance solely on existing literature, as acknowledged by the authors, means the research might lack the granular, on-the-ground insights that empirical field studies, interviews with KAN members or community, or direct observation could provide. Future research would significantly benefit from incorporating primary data collection to further validate and deepen the understanding of the complex dynamics at play, potentially revealing more specific barriers or successful adaptive strategies. Nevertheless, this paper serves as an excellent starting point, establishing a critical framework for understanding indigenous participation in regional autonomy and underscoring the urgent need for targeted interventions to ensure more democratic and sustainable local governance.
