Abstract
This study aims to analyze the internal communication patterns and coordination mechanisms of Commission I of the Blitar Regency DPRD in planning work programs within the Law and Governance sector. This research employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. Data collection was conducted through in-depth interviews, field observations, and documentation studies involving the leadership, members of Commission I, and the DPRD Secretariat Staff. Data analysis applied the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldanha based on the theoretical framework of organizational communication and the Four Flows Model, which includes membership negotiation, reflective self-structuring, activity coordination, and institutional positioning. The results indicate that internal communication within Commission I takes place in a structured, dynamic, and repetitive manner through a combination of formal and informal channels. Vertical and horizontal communication flows actively develop within meeting forums, while diagonal communication with the DPRD Secretariat plays a vital role in aligning public recess aspirations with regional budget constraints. Furthermore, a conceptual tension was identified between compliance with formal standing orders requiring a physical quorum and the demand for flexible daily coordination via digital media. Overall, effective internal communication patterns are proven to be crucial in building mutual understanding and facilitating institutional work program planning.
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pola komunikasi dan mekanisme koordinasi internal Komisi I DPRD Kabupaten Blitar dalam upaya perencanaan program kerja pada bidang Hukum dan Tata Pemerintahan. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode deskriptif. Teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui wawancara mendalam, observasi lapangan, serta studi dokumentasi terhadap pimpinan, anggota Komisi I, dan Staf Sekretariat DPRD. Analisis data menerapkan model interaktif Miles, Huberman, dan Saldanha berdasarkan kerangka teori komunikasi organisasi dan Four Flows Model, yang mencakup negosiasi keanggotaan, penataan diri reflektif, koordinasi aktivitas, serta penempatan institusional. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pola komunikasi internal Komisi I berlangsung secara terstruktur, dinamis, dan berulang melalui kombinasi saluran komunikasi formal dan informal. Alur komunikasi vertikal dan horizontal terbangun secara aktif dalam forum rapat, sementara komunikasi diagonal bersama Sekretariat DPRD berperan vital dalam menyelaraskan antara aspirasi reses masyarakat dan keterbatasan anggaran daerah. Selain itu, ditemukan adanya ketegangan antara kepatuhan tata tertib formal yang mewajibkan kuorum fisik dengan kebutuhan koordinasi harian yang fleksibel berbasis media digital. Secara keseluruhan, pola komunikasi internal yang efektif terbukti krusial dalam menciptakan kesepahaman dan kelancaran perencanaan program kerja kelembagaan.
