Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine how well Pancasila-based legal principles and the actual application of community involvement in the National Capital Law's drafting correspond.  A democratic concept and constitutional right, public involvement is ingrained in Indonesian law, particularly under the Pancasila legal framework.  Participatory techniques in the drafting of legislation are required by Law No. 12 of 2011.  However, questions about the level of public participation surfaced during the creation of Law No. 3 of 2022 about the National Capital. This study uses a statutory and conceptual approach, using a normative legal strategy.  Constitutional clauses, national laws (particularly Law No. 12 of 2011 and Law No. 3 of 2022), and legal doctrines are the main sources of data.  To evaluate the degree of conformity between the formal mechanisms of law-making and Pancasila principles, secondary data from scholarly works and academic journals were analysed using qualitative content analysis.  The results show that there is a substantial discrepancy between the normative ideal of public engagement and how it occurs during the legislative process. Procedural shortcomings are shown in the fast legislative timeframe (43 days from proposal to ratification), the lack of substantive public hearings, and the lack of transparency in public access to records.  Stakeholder participation was either completely ignored or extremely limited, especially from impacted indigenous populations. The absence of public responsiveness and participatory infrastructure undermines democratic legitimacy and runs counter to Pancasila's deliberative democracy
