Abstract

This study aims to examine and analyze: 1) The authority of the village headman in the appoint of the apparatus based on village autonomy; 2) Mechanism of appointment of Village Apparatus within the framework of Village Autonomy in Pekalongan Regency; and 3) Factors that become obstacles in the appointment of Village Apparatus from the perspective of Village autonomy and the solution. This study is a sociological juridical approach, namely the analysis of the application of legislation with qualitative research methods. The sources and types of data in this study consist of primary data and secondary data. The data were analyzed using autonomy theory, authority theory, and government system theory. The results of this study indicate that: 1) The Village Headman has attributive authority to appoint Village Apparatus based on Village autonomy as outlined in Law Number 6 of 2014; 2) The mechanism for appointing Village Apparatus in Pekalongan Regency is carried out based on Pekalongan Regency Regional Regulation (PERDA) Number 20 of 2017 concerning Appointment and Dismissal of Village Apparatus and Pekalongan Regent’s Regulation (PERBUP) Number 22 of 2018 concerning Implementation Regulations of Pekalongan Regency Regional Regulation Number 20 of 2017 regarding the Appointment and Dismissal of Village Apparatus, carried out in two ways, namely: 1) through mutation and 2) through a screening and filtering process. The factors that hinder the authority of the Village Head in appointing Village Apparatus are, (a) aspects of legal substance, namely the existence of articles and paragraphs in laws and regulations that are not clear, (b) Aspects of the legal structure, namely the relationship of power and interests of the Regional Government and Village, (c) Aspects of legal culture, namely the legal awareness of the community is still low and most people do not know and understand the laws and regulations regarding the Village.
