Abstract
Tungku Tigo Sajarangan holds a vital role in the deliberation process of the development in the
Minangkabau community, regardless of the lack of synergy. This study aims to analyze and
describe the position of this customary institution in the development planning of Bukik
Batabuah Nagari in Candung District, Agam Regency, West Sumatra Province. The qualitative
methods used in the data collection were semi-structured interview techniques comprising 20
informants, as well as field observations and documentation. Subsequently, the results showed
that there was synergy from the perspective of individual and behavioral dimensions. Although
this synergy was not observed from the position dimension, especially the Cadiak Pandai
element, it can still be overcome by mutual control. Concerning the dimensions of the
relationship with other parties, Tungku Tigo Sajarangan remains active and participates in
providing recommendations and opinions. This activity was observed even though no village
regulation came from the Bamus Nagari initiative in implementing the village administration.
Consequently, it was concluded that Tungku Tigo Sajarangan has played an active role in the
planning process for the development of Bukik Batabuah Nagari. Also, the research
recommended that the leadership system should act as a civil society to participate consistently

coordination between all related elements.
Keywords: Role Theory; Tungku Tigo Sajarangan; Nagari Development; Development Planning

Abstrak
Tungku Tigo Sajarangan memegang peran vital dalam proses musyawarah pembangunan di
masyarakat Minangkabau, terlepas dari kurangnya sinergitas. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk
menganalisis dan mendeskripsikan kedudukan lembaga adat tersebut dalam perencanaan
pembangunan Nagari Bukik Batabuah di Kecamatan Candung, Kabupaten Agam, Provinsi
Sumatera Barat. Metode kualitatif yang digunakan dalam pengumpulan data adalah teknik
wawancara semi terstruktur kepada 20 informan, serta observasi lapangan dan dokumentasi.
Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya sinergi dari perspektif dimensi individu dan perilaku.
Meskipun sinergi ini tidak dilihat dari dimensi kedudukan, khususnya unsur Cadiak Pandai,
namun tetap dapat diatasi dengan saling mengontrol. Terkait dimensi relasi dengan pihak lain,
Tungku Tigo Sajarangan tetap aktif dan turut serta memberikan rekomendasi serta opini.
Kegiatan ini terpantau meski tidak ada peraturan desa yang berasal dari inisiatif Bamus Nagari
dalam menjalankan pemerintahan desa. Dengan demikian, dapat disimpulkan bahwa Tungku
Tigo Sajarangan berperan aktif dalam proses perencanaan pembangunan Nagari Bukik
Batabuah. Selain itu, penelitian ini merekomendasikan agar sistem kepemimpinan yang
berperan sebagai masyarakat sipil dapat berpartisipasi secara konsisten dan mengawasi
kebijakan Pemerintah Nagari Bukik Batabuah, dengan sinergi dan koordinasi yang baik antar
semua elemen terkait.
