The aim of this study was to find out the governmentality carried out by the Surabaya city government in implementing e-musrenbang in Rungkut sub-district, Surabaya. This was based on the Surabaya city government implementing governmentality that caused the level of participation in e-musrenbang to be very high. The theory used is the governmentality technique according to Foucault (1991) which explains that governmentality is built on three bases, namely 1) Governmentalized localities, 2) regulatory communities, and 3) Subject formation. The method of research uses a descriptive qualitative approach. The informants are as many as 55 people from 6 urban villages in the Rungkut sub-district consisting of government officials, community leaders, and local residents. Data collection methods conducted through in-depth interviews, secondary data, and field observations. The results showed that the number of e-musrenbang proposals in Rungkut sub-district in 2018 was 164 proposals and the proposed average of 27 proposals. The technique of governmentalized localities is carried out by giving authority to each urban village to verify proposals and input proposals into the e-musrenbang system. Regulatory communities techniques are formed through mandatory routine meetings that discuss the priorities of development planning proposals. While the formation of subjects was carried out by community leaders at community meetings by agreeing on what was proposed by community leaders. As a result, the community becomes disciplined with the proposal. In conclusion, the governmentality carried out by the Surabaya city government has had a good impact on increasing public participation even though the form of participation is pseudo.
