Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the implementation of articulation and aggregation functions of the Regional House of Representatives of Timor Tengah Utara (TTU) district in the enactment of Local Regulation No. 10/2014 on the Procedure for the Election and Dismissal of Village Head. In-depth interviews were used to collect data from participants (n=38) recruited using purposive sampling technique. A framework analysis was used to analyse the data. Results indicated that articulation and aggregation functions of the Regional House of Representatives of TTU district had been implemented through several activities, including problem formulation, policy formulation and policy recommendation. Monitoring and evaluation of the implementation of the Regulation were parts of the implementation of these functions. Several barriers to the implementation of such functions were lack of understanding of the members of the Regional House of Representatives about the differences between problematic issues and policy issues, and limited time provided for them to identify issues and problems facing people within communities. Lack of understanding of committee members of village head election about the essence of the Regulation, and the authority of the regent of the district to cancel inaugurating elected village heads if considered ineligible were other problems related to the implementation of the Regulation. The study findings indicate that the members of the Regional House of Representatives of TTU district should seriously implement their articulation and aggregation functions in the formulation of policies and local regulations so that the interests and needs of people they represent are considered.
