Abstract

Ineffective forms of public participation occurred in Indonesia during Covid-19 pandemic. A condition triggered by the unavailability of an indirect (online) public engagement mechanism, when direct involvement (hearing meetings, public consultations, demonstrations) is limited by pandemic. This study aims to describe the existing conditions of public participation regulations in Indonesia and the possibility of new legal constructions in the form of e-participation and e-petition. Based on the statutory approach, comparative approach, and conceptual approach, this study finds that public participation is guaranteed in Indonesia, as arranged in the 1945 Constitution and Laws. The development of online public participation (e-participation and e-petition) should be open in the context of guaranteeing citizen’s rights, as Covid-19 pandemic limits the space for citizens to be involved in government. As enforced in Russia, South Korea, and UK, the availability of E-Participation through E-Petition, provides space for citizens to participate in government despite the Covid-19 pandemic. Hence, the legal construction for the institutionalization of E-Participation and E-Petition which aims to ensure public participation is appropriate to be drawn up in laws and regulations in Indonesia. However, it is important to anticipate various laxity that are prone to emerge from its implementation.
