This research is essential to understand the use of
Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) method in deliberations of
development planning. The result of observation showed that the
activity of deliberations of development planning has not worked
optimally. It is due to the unclear usage of tools to seek the
priority activity based on the finding problems. The proposals
more likely came from observation instead of the results of
research from each field and subject. The proposals mostly were
brought by people who have influence or close relation with
apparatus of village government. The society was not involved
widely in digging the problems. With PRA method, deliberations
of village development planning are expected to be more
participative conducted with the wide involvement of society
based on their own background field. With such problem and
objective, it will give benefit in figuring out thee application of
PRA method in deliberations of development planning. In order
to achieve the objective, the methods needed to be conducted are
observation, interview, and literature study. The result of the
research showed that the application of PRA method has not
been work optimally. The application of PRA is limited within
direct deliberations of development planning in village level
without involving the wide society starting from the lowest level
like group of society or neighborhood association (RT).
Deliberation to determine the development proposal has not been
through problem analysing process through study in related
field. However, it only listens to ideas of the present society
