Abstract:
Abstract. Political communication is the beginning of the emergence of political
products. One of the political products that are important for the survival of the
community in the regions is Regional Regulations. The process of making Regional
Regulations requires a political process involving factions in the DPRD as the owners of
legislative authority and function related to Regional Regulations. These factions are
extensions of the political parties, where there are political wants and interests. Due to the
interests of these political parties, the function of political communication by the factions
in the DPRD is very important in determining the course of the formulation of Regional
Regulations. The purpose of this study is to analyze the stages of political communication
of the factions in the formulation of Regional Regulations related to wetlands in the
DPRD of South Kalimantan Province. The research method uses a qualitative approach
with document study, observation and in-depth interviews related to Political
Communication in the Legislative Function related to the Formulation of Regional
Regulations in the Wetlands of the DPRD of South Kalimantan Province. Using Miles
and Huberman's data analysis techniques, the results of the study show that political
communication related to the Wetland Regional Regulation between DPRD members
takes place as an effort to master the civic skills of the community in South Kalimantan
Province through the stages of preparation, implementation and evaluation. The
preparation of Regional Regulations related to Wetlands in the DPRD of South
Kalimantan Province is carried out by building intense and sustainable political
communication with all factions represented by each DPR member in the DPRD of South
Kalimantan Province.
