Abstract

This paper examines the Social Aspects of Village Expansion in the Policy Formulation Process of Sandosi II Preparatory Village Expansion, Witihama Sub-district, East Flores Regency, where this research is driven by several problems, namely the population of Sandosi Village which is already classified as very dense, the uneven coverage of government services, services and social conflicts between community groups that can disrupt village stability and security. This research aims to see the feasibility of social aspects in the formulation of the Sandosi II preparatory village expansion policy and estimate the social impacts that will result from the expansion of the Sandosi II preparatory village. This research uses the concept of public policy formulation according to William N. Dunn, which consists of five stages, namely problem formulation, policy agenda, forecasting, alternative selection, and policy determination. This theory is used to analyze how the formulation of village expansion policies takes into account the feasibility of social aspects and estimates the impact that will be caused to the community after expansion. The results showed that the expansion of Sandosi II Preparatory Village was carried out as an effort to overcome increasingly complex social problems, such as an increase in population, difficulties in public services, and conflicts related to customary land. Through expansion, it is expected that community access to basic services such as health and education will be better, while strengthening social solidarity and stability in the region.
