Abstract:Meaning Exploration of Citizen Participation in Budgeting, a Phenomenology Study.This
study is aimed at understanding the actors of Public Empowerment Program of Kediri government,
particularly at “Harmony” Sub-District, regarding the citizen participation in budgeting. The research
method of the study is a transcendental phenomenology. The results of this study reveal a number of
phenomena, first, the program’s actors understand the citizen’s participation on budget planning as a
trust. Second, in implementing the budget, the citizen’s participation is interpreted as a job. Finally, the
citizen participation in budget supervision is interpreted as a guarantee. Hence the conclusion drawn
is the government programs must be implemented through a process of interaction between the govern-ment and the public on the basis of trust by working together and of guarantee that the programs can
run well and successfully.
