Abstract

Public participation is one of the important elements in a democratic country. Participation should be present in every policy making process carried out by the government. The absence of participation makes a policy vulnerable to rejection. In the case of top-down policies, participation does not originate from the society affected by policies but from the government, in other words policies tend to be Government-centric. Rejection can be minimized by information disclosure from the government, before the policy is passed. This study uses a literature review method that is relevant to the topic of discussion, as well as observation. Information disclosure will make the community have an initial understanding of policy. Information disclosure will affect participation, with the main goal of realizing good governance
