THE URGENCE OF INSTITUTIONAL ARRANGEMENT OF CITY ADMINISTRATION IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT IN DKI JAKARTA PROVINCE

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the urgency of the appropriate administrative city institutional arrangement in the administration of the DKI Jakarta Province regional government. The research method used is qualitative research with an analytical descriptive approach. The results of the study show that the dynamics of local government administration in the Central Jakarta Administrative City shows its own complexity. This causes the administrative city institutions to be unable to run fast to provide quick responses to the increasingly complex problems of the administrative city community. In addition, based on the results of the research, the bureaucratic hierarchical structure tends to be unnecessary, especially the sub-district structure. In addition, Ward which has a hierarchy of subordinates than the mayor has the potential to be further strengthened as front-line bureaucrats (street level aueccracy). This is especially the case with the provision of public services and community development at the grassroots level. The challenge of such institutional arrangement is great, especially in the political will of the central government. The asymmetric decentralization embedded in DKI Jakarta which has implications for the institutional form of the Central Jakarta Administrative City requires strong advocacy to encourage the Central Government to revise and form regulations governing institutions in DKI Jakarta.
