A Fiqh al-Siyasah Analysis of the Implementation of Article 26(4) of Law No. 6 of 2014 on the Responsibilities of Village (A case study in Banjar Negeri Village, South Lampung Regency)

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of village head authority based on Article 26 of Law No. 6 of 2014 in Banjar Negeri Village, South Lampung, and review it from the perspective of Fiqih Siyasah. The research method used is qualitative field research with a normative-empirical approach. Data collection was conducted through observation, interviews, and documentation related to village governance. The results of the study show that the implementation of the Village Head's authority in the physical development and community empowerment sectors has been carried out in accordance with regulations, but still faces significant obstacles in terms of budget transparency and accountability. From the perspective of Fiqh Siyasah, the leadership pattern in Banjar Negeri Village is structurally in line with the concept of Siyasah Dusturiyah, which regulates the relationship between leaders and the people. However, substantively, the practice of governance still needs to be strengthened in terms of the principles of Amanah (integrity) and Syura (inclusive deliberation). This is crucial to ensure that every policy taken truly leads to the optimal and equitable achievement of the public interest (Al-Maslahah al-Ammah) for all villagers.
