Keywords:

Meaningful participation in the management of the interests of the people of Pudung Village, Girisubo District, Gunungkidul Regency, is something that is needed. This is mainly for the continuation of village development, village development, village community development, and improving the welfare of village communities. This phenomenon is interesting to research, using qualitative research methods, accompanied by a rationalistic approach. The number of informants was 12 people, who were selected purposively. The data consisted of: (1) Primary data, obtained from the results of interviews with informants; (2) Secondary data, in the form of population data of Pudung Village. Meanwhile, data analysis was carried out using Qualitative Analysis Techniques. The results of the study show that meaningful participation is highly recommended, because the management of interests will not have a positive impact on the community, if the participation carried out is meaningless and does not give meaning to improve the quality of life of the community. Therefore, meaningful participation is a must, especially when the true meaning of the quality of participation carried out is successfully understood. In addition to having a unique meaning, meaningful participation also has: goals, conditions, characteristics, and in-depth aspects.
