Efforts to continue to increase public participation in policymaking continue to be carried out as a step toward a more open government. Along with the popularity of online petitions (e-petitions) initiated by various lines of society, a systematic analysis was carried out to find out how successful an online petition (e-petitions) is as a public space in policy making. We try to provide a new perspective from a broader side of the previous partial research. This indicator of success is based on the original purpose for which the petition was published. As a result, there are three important things that are divided into two scopes of paths for achieving goals. First, the way of communication in which there is a linguistic approach is an important factor that influences how information from the petition is conveyed to the public and leads to the publicity of the petition. Second, the way of delivery is the basis for how the voice of the community is conveyed to policymakers, which is influenced by the political will of a region. Finally, media attention is a factor between the two scopes, which have dual roles as a “toa” to the public, and a messenger of policy. This review is expected to be a reference for initiators who propose policies from the community as well as a consideration for policymakers to actively involve the community's role in the policymaking process.

Banyaknya kasus perceraian dan keluarga "rawan cerai" di Kecamatan Sumbang menuntut peranserta yang lebih besar dari organisasi Pemberdayaan dan Kesejahteraan Keluarga (PKK) di kecamatan ini untuk mencegahnya, antara lain melalui kegiatan penyuluhan. Dalam kenyataannya, tingkat kemampuan para pengurus organisasinya baik di tingkat kecamatan maupun desa untuk melakukan penyuluhan yang sesuai dengan permasalahan kebutuhan komunitas setempat masih rendah. Untuk itu dilakukan upaya peningkatan kapasitas kepada mereka melalui kegiatan pelatihan sehari. Sasarannya adalah 24 orang yang terdiri dari Pengurus PKK Kecamatan Pokja I dan Ketua PKK Desa di semua desa. Metodenya adalah pemberian empat materi yang dibutuhkan yakni: (1) Peran strategis PKK dalam Pemberdayaan Keluarga dan Peningkatan Ketahanan Keluarga, (2) Pembangunan Keluarga dan Ketahanan Keluarga, (3) Fenomena Perceraian di Kecamatan Sumbang, serta (4) Penyuluhan Berbasis Komunitas Berperspektif Gender. Pemberian materi dilakukan secara interaktif melalui teknik ceramah dan diskusi yang diakhiri dengan pendampingan pembuatan Rencana Tindak lanjut (RTL). Evaluasi diberikan dengan memberikan sejumlah pertanyaan/pernyataan untuk masing-masing materi melalui teknik pre-test dan post-test yakni pengisian sebelum dan setelah pemnberian materi. Dengan teknik ini diketahui adanya peningkatan pengetahuan yang diterima setelah pemberian materi dari ke-4 materi tersebut.

This study aims to evaluate the implementation of cooperation between villages based on agrotourism in the Kendeng Mountains, Somagede District, Banyumas Regency as a model for developing rural areas in Banyumas Regency. The research was conducted in three villages in Somagede District, i.e., Tanggeran, Klinting, and Kemawi, and served as a pilot project for rural area development. Qualitative method is conducted through meetings with informants from all village officials and tourism business actors in the three collaborating villages and members of the Rural Area Development Coordination Team. This study employs qualitative method utilizing in-depth interviews, observations, documentation, and focus group discussion (FGD), while the findings were analyzed using an interactive analysis model. The results showed that the cooperation between the villages of Kemawi, Klinting, and Tanggeran in developing agrotourism-based rural areas did not yield the expected results. The failure is due to the absence of cooperation norms among members, the identification of common needs that must be resolved through inter-village collaboration, and the low commitment of the village heads to prioritize and carry out all program plans. The cooperation also fails because of the lack of support from the local government during program implementation and the absence of monitoring and evaluation activities at each stage of the implementation of inter-village cooperation.
