I. Introduction

Based on literary studies, there are four types of villages, namely traditional villages, administrative villages, autonomous villages, and mixed villages (Hanif Nurcolis, 2011: 65-66). Examples of such villages are: Indigenous Village in Bali. Administrative Village Example Kelurahan. Autonomous villages, such as Swapraja villages formed under Law No. 19 of 1965. Whereas Mixed Villages (adat and semi-autonomous) are types of villages that have mixed authority between original and semi-autonomous formal autonomy. They are called mixed because their original autonomy is recognized by the law. the law and also given the transfer of authority from the regency / city. Mixed Village Examples are Villages under Law No. 22 of 1999 and Law No. 32 of 2004, most recently regarding villages regulated in Law No 16 of 2014 concerning Villages, Government Regulation Number 43 of 2014 concerning Implementing Regulations of Law Number 6 of 2014 and amended by Government Regulation Number 47 of 2015. In these laws and regulations, some village government affairs such as Village Budget and Revenue, Charges, Spatial Planning and Village Government Organizations require a legal basis in the form of village regulations. The formation of village regulations requires a special skill in its preparation, so that it is important

The established village  regulations do not conflict with the  public interest or higher statutory provisions. If traced before the issuance of Law Number 6 of 2014, both Law Number 32 of 2004 and Law No 23 of 2014 concerning Regional Government, do not expressly revoke the Minister of Domestic Affairs Regulation Number 30 of 2006 concerning Procedures for Submitting District / City Government Affairs to Village. 


The type and substance of village regulation material determined in Law No. 6 of 2014, firstly relates to the type of village regulation consisting of Village Regulations, Joint Village Chief Regulations and Village Head Regulations. Thus there are 3 (three) types of regulations in the village, namely: a). Village Regulations. b). Joint Rules of the Village Head, and c). Regulation of the Village Head. Second, related to the material substance of Article 69 paragraph (4) of Law No. 6 of 2014 only determines the Draft Village Regulation regarding the Village Budget, Taxes, Spatial Planning and Spatial Planning and Village Government Organizations must obtain an evaluation from the Regent / Mayor before being stipulated as a Village Regulation. In administrative law, regulations are laws that are in abstracto or general norm that are generally binding in nature (generally accepted) and their job is to regulate general matters (Ridwan HR, 2002: 133).

According to S.J Fockema Andreae the term legislation has 2 (two) different meanings, namely: (I Gede Pantja Astawa and Suprin Na'a, 2008: 14).

a. Legislation is the process of forming / forming state regulations, both at the central and regional levels.

b. Legislation is all matters of state regulation, which are the result of the formation of regulations both at the central and regional levels.

The foregoing contains meaning in discussing the legislation in addition to questioning the process of formation, also looking at the substitution of the regulation. Likewise with village regulations, in addition to seeing the process of its formation also seen the substance or content. 


Satjipto Rahardjo revealed that the nature of the legislation has the following characteristics (Satjipto Rahardjo, 2006: 83-84). General and comprehensive nature, which is thus the opposite of specific and limited traits.

a. Universal. It was created to deal with future events whose concrete form was not yet clear. Therefore it cannot be formulated to deal with certain events.

b. He has the power to correct and improve himself. It is customary for a rule to include a clause that specifies the possibility of a review. 


Law Number 12 of 2011 Elucidation of Article 7 paragraph (2) explains "hierarchy" is the classification of each type of statutory regulation based on the principle that the lower Statutory Regulations must not conflict with higher Statutory Regulations. The hierarchy and types of legislation regulated in Article 7 paragraph (1) consist of:

a. The 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia;

b. Decree of the Rakyta Consultative Assembly;

c. Government Act / Regulation in Lieu of Law;

d. Government regulations;

e. Presidential decree;

f. Provincial Regional Regulations; and

g. Regency / City Regulations.

Although it is not stipulated in the provisions of Article 7 paragraph (1), the terms of the Regulation of the Village Head or the equivalent can be found in the provisions of Article 8 paragraph (1) with the following formula:

(1) Types of statutory regulations other than those referred to in Article 7 paragraph (1) include regulations stipulated by the People's Consultative Assembly, Board Representative Council, Regional Representative Council, Supreme Court, Constitutional Court, Supreme Audit Board, Judicial Commission, Bank Indonesia , Ministers, bodies, institutions or commissions of the same level formed by Law or Government by order of the Law, Provincial Regional Representatives Council, Governor, Regency / City Regional Representative Council, Regents / Mayors, Village Heads or equivalent.

Maria Farida Indrati S gave a response to the law that stipulates village level regulations which were made by a village representative body or other name along with the village head, into a type of legislative hierarchy. Regarding this matter as follows ... village representative body or other name together with the village head can still form a Village Regulation, which is regulating (and binding public), in the sense of regulations in the field of government administration only, but not as statutory regulations (Maria Farida Indarti S, 2007: 102)


II. Types and procedures for preparing Village Regulations before Covid-19


The type of material contained in village regulations contains material on the implementation of village authority and further elaboration of the higher laws and regulations. (Article 4 paragraph 1 of PMDN No. 111 of 2014). Based on the results of a search of several regulations related to village governance, we can find several types of material contained in village regulations, including:

a)    Law No. 6 of 2014 concerning Villages

                                  i.    Article 69 (4) The draft Village Regulation concerning the Village Revenue and Expenditure Budget, levies, spatial planning, and Village Government organizations must obtain an evaluation from the Regent / Mayor before being determined to become a Village Regulation. From this provision there are types of village regulations (i) Village APB, (ii) Village levies (iii) Village spatial planning, (iv) Village Government Organizations.

                                ii.   Article 84 (2) Establishment of Village BUMDes as referred to in paragraph (1) shall be determined by Village Regulations.

b)     Regulation of the Minister of Home Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia Number 44 of 2016 concerning Village Authorities. In Article 23 (1) Based on the Regulations of the Regent / Mayor concerning the list of the Authority of Villages and Customary Villages as referred to in Article 22 paragraph (4), the Village Government shall stipulate Village Regulations concerning authority based on origin rights and local authority on a village and village scale. Whereas paragraph (2) determines the Village Regulations referred to in paragraph (1) according to the situation, conditions and local needs of the village concerned.


Of the several provisions in Law No. 6 of 2014 and PMDN Number 44 of 2016 there are several types of Village Regulations that can be made in their respective Villages, including: (1) Village APB, (2) Village Charges, (iii) Village Spatial Planning , (iv) Village Government Organizations, (v) Village Medium-Term Development Plans, (vi) Village Government Work Plans, (vii) Village BUMs, and (viii) Authority based on village-origin rights and local scale authority. Before the government established Covid-19 as a pandemic outbreak, the procedure for drafting village regulations was carried out in several stages, namely:

a)      Planning, this stage of drafting the Village Regulation draft is determined by the Village Head and BPD in the Village Government's work plan. Social institutions, customary institutions and other village institutions in the village can provide input to the Village Government and / or BPD for plans to draft a Village Regulation.

b)      The compilation of Village Regulations was initiated by the Village Head, the draft draft material can be consulted with the Camat to get input, and consulted with the community or community groups directly related to the substance of the regulatory material. The village regulation draft that was consulted was submitted by the Village Head to BPD for discussion and mutual agreement.

c)      Village Regulation was initiated by the BPD. BPD (Village Government Agency) can compile and propose a draft Village Regulation, except for the draft Village Regulation on the medium-term development plan of the Village, the draft Village Regulation on the work plan of the Village Government, the draft Village Regulation on the APB Village and the draft Village Regulation on the accountability report on the implementation realization APB Desa.

d)  Discussion. BPD invites the Village Head to discuss and agree on the draft Village Regulation. In the event that there is a draft Village Regulation initiated by the Government of the Village and a BPD proposal on the same matter to be discussed in the same discussion period, then the draft Village Regulation proposes the BPD proposal while the Draft Village Regulation proposed by the Village Head is used as material for comparison. Draft Village Regulations that have not been discussed can be withdrawn by the proposer. Draft Village Regulations that have been discussed cannot be withdrawn unless by mutual agreement between the Village Government and the BPD. become village regulations no later than 7 (seven) days from the date of agreement. The draft village regulations must be determined by the village head by signing at the latest 15 (fifteen) days from the receipt of the village regulation draft from the leadership of the Village Consultative Body.

e)    Determination of the draft Village Regulation that has been signed must be submitted to the Village Secretary for promulgation. In the event that the Village Head does not sign the Village Regulation Draft the Village Regulation Draft must be promulgated in the Village Gazette and legally become a Village Regulation

f)     Promulgation of the Village Secretary promulgating village regulations in the village gazette. Village regulations are declared effective and have binding legal force since enactment.


III. Basic Value Formation of Village Regulations at Covid-19 


With the existence of the Covid-19 pandemic, various policies were carried out by the government from the central to the village to jointly prevent and overcome Covid-19. One of the government policies in preventing and overcoming Covid-19 is to relocate the village fund budget that has been stipulated in village regulations to prevent and handle Covid-19. In the Regulation of the Minister of Villages, Development of Disadvantaged Regions, and Transmigration of the Republic of Indonesia Number 6 of 2020 Regarding Amendments to the Regulation of the Minister of Villages, Development of Disadvantaged Regions, and Transmigration Number 11 of 2019 Regarding the Priority of the Use of Village Funds in 2020 Article 8A paragraph (1) Non-natural Disasters as referred to in Article 8 paragraph (1) letter d is a disaster that occurs as a result of extraordinary events such as the spread of diseases that threaten and / or affect citizens on a large or large scale, at least in the form of: (a). Pandemic Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), (b) avian influenza pandemic, (c) Cholera outbreak; and / or (d). other infectious diseases. Natural disasters are caused by natural events such as earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, floods, droughts, and landslides. Natural disasters for villagers are not easy events to predict. Therefore, immediately after a natural disaster an emergency response activity is carried out. Non-natural disasters include infectious diseases or pandemic diseases such as Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). The Village Fund can be used to fund natural disaster and / or non-natural disaster response activities.


The Minister of Villages, Development of Disadvantaged Regions, and Transmigration of the Republic of Indonesia in Circular Letter No. 8 of 2020 concerning Covid-19 Villages and Labor-intensive Affirmations in letter G expressly determine that this Circular Letter becomes the basis for APBDes changes to shift the expenditure of fields and sub-fields another becomes the field of disaster management, emergencies and urgency of the village, and the field of implementation of village development for the Village Cash Intensive Work (PKTD) as stipulated in the Minister of Home Affairs Regulation No. 20 of 2018. concerning Village Financial Management. While in the villages that are included in the Covid-19 Extraordinary (KLB) area, the APBDes can be directly changed to meet the COVID-19 response needs in the Village. The Extraordinary Criteria (KLB) is regulated in the Regents of the Regent or Mayor regarding village financial management. 


In an emergency, village regulations governing changes in village funds are difficult by means of mechanisms or procedures ranging from planning, discussing, and enacting village regulations such as before Covid-19 as stipulated in Law No. 6 of 2014.Regulation of the Minister of Villages, Development of Disadvantaged Regions, and Transmigration of the Republic of Indonesia Number 6 of 2020 Regarding Amendments to the Regulation of the Minister of Villages, Development of Disadvantaged Regions, and Transmigration Number 11 of 2019 Regarding Priority of the Use of Village Funds in 2020 Appendix I letter C determines the priority of the use of Village Funds based on on the principle: (i) Priority needs, namely prioritizing the interests of the Village which are more urgent, and directly related to the interests of most villagers, (ii) Justice by prioritizing the rights and interests of all villagers without discrimination, (iii) Village Authority based on rights the origin and local scale authority of the Village, (iv) Focus is to prioritize the choice of using Village Funds in 3 (three) to 5 (five) types of activities according to the needs of the community in accordance with national priorities and the practice of using Village Funds that are not evenly shared. (v) Participatory by prioritizing initiatives, creativity, and the participation of the village community, (vi) self-management by prioritizing village independence in the implementation of village development activities funded by village funds. (vii) based on village resources by prioritizing the utilization of human and natural resources in the village in the implementation of development funded by the Village Fund.


With this Circular, there is a shift in the principle of the use of village funds as outlined in the village regulation. If prior to the Covid-19 pandemic, the use of village funds contained in village regulations was tightly regulated by mechanisms ranging from planning, discussion with BPD and enactment, but with the existence of the Covid-19 pandemic, the mechanism and procedure for determining the use of village funds were prioritized prioritizing interests The village is more urgent, and is directly related to the interests of most villagers. 


If viewed from the objectives of the law as described by Rudbruch that the law is required to meet the basic values ​​of the law, namely justice, usefulness and legal certainty. Although all three are the basic values ​​of the law, there is a tension with each other, because all three contain claims that are diamond. If the value of legal certainty will shift the values ​​of justice and usefulness laterally. The main thing for legal certainty is the existence of the regulation itself (Satjipto Rahardjo, 2006: 19). The regulation of village funds (APBDes) in the village regulations prior to the Covid-19 pandemic prioritized is legal certainty, thereby shifting the values ​​of justice and usefulness, whereas at the time of the Covid-19 pandemic, that the principles of managing village funds as specified in the Circular Regulation of the Minister of Villages, Development of Disadvantaged Regions, and Transmigration of the Republic of Indonesia Number 6 of 2020 Regarding Amendments to the Regulation of the Minister of Villages, Development of Disadvantaged Regions, and Transmigration Number 11 of 2019 Regarding the Priority of the Use of Village Funds in 2020 prioritized on the use value.
