Abstract

Policy communication in village regulation formulation is a crucial aspect that often faces significant obstacles between village governments and their communities. This study aims to identify and analyze the factors causing difficulties in policy communication during the stages of village regulation formulation in Kudus Regency, Central Java. Using a qualitative research method with a case study strategy, data were collected through in-depth interviews and analysis of village regulation documents. The results indicate that Rational-Comprehensive, Procedural, and Policy as System Output models tend to produce higher policy communication, while the Incremental model shows lower communication. The low communication in the Incremental model is due to the low commitment of village governments and the lack of community participation interest. The study also found that high policy communication mainly involves men, while women’s involvement remains low due to cultural and structural factors that hinder their access. These findings highlight the need for improved access to information and community participation, especially for women, in the village policy formulation process. This study contributes conceptually and methodologically to understanding the factors influencing village policy communication and offers recommendations for more inclusive and comprehensive strategies. The limitation of this study is its focus on Kudus Regency, necessitating further research in other areas to strengthen these findings.
