Abstract

Village in Indonesia, so-called Desa, in recent years has been becoming a favourable study since the issuing of the Act No. 6 Year 2014 on Village, in which village authority can organize financial resources from central, provincial, and municipal government allocated for village development. It is challenging legal policy of this Act in boosting the welfare in village. Therefore, this paper aims to emphasize the human right approach in shaping sustainable village development as a sub-local government in decentralization policy. To support, several legal instruments, legal theories, and samples of phenomenon in society are observed. This paper finds that there are some legal instruments supporting the village development, for instance in utilizing human capacity and fiscal decentralization regarding the interaction with environment. Legal policy of the Act on Village can emerge public participation in making of planning although it has some challenges, such as the tendency in over land use and or limited capacity of inhabitants. Additionally, human rights perspective inspires some substances, such as the right to participate, the right to the city, in attempt to enhance democracy, the aim of decentralization, the target of SDGs, equality and inclusion in development.
