This study aims to examine development communication in community participation in village development planning. Community participation is very important because it can guarantee the effectiveness of development programs. There are a number of obstacles to community participation in development planning. Some identified barriers are the absence of legal support (Rumensten, 2012), lack of public awareness, low quality of human resources, length of stay and hours employment type (Wijaksono, 2013), lack of socialization from the government (Sagita, 2016), poverty and limited access provided by the government (Ompusunggu, 2017), and interest of bureaucracy in planning (Mbeche, 2017). These studies, indeed, have not considered yet cultural factor leading to disinvolvement. This qualitative case study extends previous studies by revealing the culture of mamfatin ukunrai discouraging community participation in development planning in Naran Village (pseudonym), Raimanuk Subdistrict, Belu Regency. Mamfatin ukunrai is a custom considering development planning is government's duties and responsibilities. Villagers are merely the executor of development programs. This custom is a legacy of royal government system and dominates the mindset of villagers. The tradition of highly appreciating the government unwittingly creates an invisible distance between government and society. It has discouraged villagers’ participation.

<p>This research examines the role of community participation in urban design. It looks at developing more efficient methods of facilitating participation so that it can become more feasible for developers and designers.  A literature review and analysis of case studies found that community participation in urban design, in the developed world, is almost non-existent. In impoverished countries, however, it is more common - recognising that the commercial and political pressures of Western societies make participation in urban design difficult to justify.  The research then moves to its major case study - Shelly Bay. This area is facing a large development which has been highly protested by members of the local and wider community. One of the more significant reasons for the protest was the lack of transparency in the development planning stages.  So why does the public not have a say on the future of Shelly Bay? This thesis researches ways which developers, architects and urban designers can involve local community groups in the design of the environments they live, work and play in.  The research consists of two stages; Stage One uses traditional methods of consultation (surveying and interviewing) while Stage Two uses less conventional methods - presented as a workbook. The results from these participatory experiments have been used to produce a community masterplan proposal for Shelly Bay - ‘Shelly Bay 2030’.  This research concludes by stressing the importance of communicating and working with those who are most affected by the decisions made by urban developers. It recognises the challenges of reaching a level of collaboration but believes that the traditional surveying and interviewing methods should be standard in urban design. It also finds that a tool as simple as a workbook can be extremely effective in gathering public feedback.  Shelly Bay 2030, is strikingly different to the current development plans - showing the disconnect between the community and the developer. This research argues that if they were able to work together, it would be possible to create something which benefits everyone involved.</p>
