Coastal village is one of the implementing kotaku, goals of the research is to describe and analyse the forms of community participation. The methods used in this research was the qualitative approach. Data collection techniques used are interviews, observation and documentation. The results showed that this form of public participation was seen from public participation in decision making, participation in the implementation phase, the participation in the taking of benefits, and the participation of the community in stages of the evaluation. Based on the foregoing indicates that public participation is already there but not thorough all phases. Because there are still constraints that impede public participation ranging from low levels of public awareness, weak understanding of the people and the bustle of the community. Then it is necessary to approach the community so the community understands the purpose of the program that implemented and communication between stakeholders, community and village apparatus must be maintained so that there is no misunderstanding.
