Abstract
ABSTRACT When democracy was raised both in theory and in the practice of state administration since the seventeenth century almost all opinions agreed that the state was established to guarantee the interests of the people. One of the main pillars in the administration of a countrys government is the formation of regional regulations, from the authors observation that around 150 laws were produced by the DPR for the period 1999-2004. The findings can be summarized as follows: 1. Democracy in Indonesia during the revormation order has not yet run smoothly, this can be seen from the lack of community participation in the process of establishing regional regulations, if the regional regulations are promulgated, many things have not touched the interests of the people. 2. Local regulations are often made unrealistically and only determine the executive, so that the interests of the people are underestimated. 3. Lack of socialization to the public regarding local regulations compiled by the DPRD, as well as local governments so that when the regional regulations are issued many people do not know and do not understand.
