STUDY OF GENDER-BASED PARTICIPATORY DEVELOPMENT PLANNING MODEL

Abstract

Commitment to sustainable development and improvement of the quality of human life underlies the 
national development planning system which becomes the framework for the practice of planning 
and implementing development at the national and regional levels. In general, the perception of 
women's participation in development in Indonesia varies depending on the socio-cultural constructs 
that are formed in their respective environments. Women's participation is a manifestation of the 
willingness of women as an element of society in village development planning, especially in the 
musrenbang and PKK forums. In Bandung Regency, women have a good awareness to participate 
in development. They are present in public spaces to discuss public issues, but their presence has not 
been matched by a process of involvement in the decision-making process. Government leaders, both 
at the community and regional levels, still dominate the role in decision making for priority 
proposals. The obstacles that are still faced are related to the capacity of individuals, community 
organizations and the government to identify women's interests, articulate these interests as policy 
issues in development planning forums, formulate these issues as a policy agenda that will be 
implemented into programs and activities. The results showed that there was no difference in terms 
of development proposals put forward by women and men, namely that it tended to focus on 
infrastructure, even though there were special needs faced by women but they were not well 
articulated.
