Abstract

This research aims to analyze the practice of legal politics in the drafting process of the Draft Regional Regulation (Raperda) ini­ti­a­tive of the Surabaya City DPRD on Flood Control and Mitigation. The flooding issue in Surabaya is a critical public problem that demands an appropriate policy response through local legislation. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. The results showed that the drafting of this Raperda was not fully based on the needs of the community as a whole, but was also influenced by political dynamics, bureaucratic interests, and limited coordination between actors. The legislative process is dominated by DPRD elites with minimal public participation. These findings show that the political practice of law at the local level tends to be pragmatic and elitist, even though it is wrapped in formal procedural mechanisms. This research recommends strengthening the accountability of legislators and pro­mo­ting more substantial public involvement in the preparation of local regulation.
