implementation of the government which is supported by the three (3) pillars of the good government
in which the synergy and constructive relationship among the three (3) stakeholders (government,

increasing the capacity (capacity building) in accomplishing the gppd governance. Thus, it can be
said that the development of the capacity of the local government is referring to three (3) aspects in
which policy plan, institutional and the human resources. Generally the capacity building concept can
be purposed as the the process of building the capacity of the individual, group or organisation. It goes
along with the theory concept in which purposed by Milen1 (2001 : 16) who is stating that the
capacity building is for sure the improvement process which is sustainable from the individual,
organization or institution, it is not only happen once, but the consition is the internal process which
can only be functioned and aaccelerated with the outside assistance.
Based on the result of the research conducted by the team of STIA LAN Makassar in the
year of (2012), they conclded that the good governance can be created through the empowered of
the organization of the local government wholy in Indonesia2. It is also supported by the result of
the research conducted by Jenivia Dwi Ratna Sari et. Al in the year of 2013 who were stating that
the development of the capacity of the member/individual can influence the sucessness of the
organization, leadership of an organization which cannot barely separated from the characteristics
and the leadership style in which the characteristics and the leadership style itself is also
influencing the capacity of the organization member in achieving the good governance.
Furthermore, the result of the research conducted by Venkatesh (2015) was showing that the
dimension of the capacity building of the individual include the training program planning and
education to decrease the discrepancy of the institutional system. the result of the research
conducted by Grindle is then supported by the finding of Keban (2000 : 7) which is showing that
the capacity building is a strip of strategy which is purposed to increase the efficiency, effectivity,
and responsiveness of the government performance by centralize the attention toward the
dimension development, human resources, empowered of the organization, and the reformation of
the institution.
Based on the previous explanation, it is showing that the organization reinforcement of the
local government as a need in supporting and repairing the performance of the local government
in the government environment of Gorontalo regency. Thus, the research was interested to
conduct a research entitled the organization reinforcement of the local government in achieving

A. LITERATURE REVIEW
The Concept of Organzation
The definition of organization based on Lubis and Husaini (1987 : 35) is a social unity from a
group of community which is interacting based on a certain pattern so that every member of it
organization will have their own function and task, in which as a unity, it has certain purpose and
a distinct barrier so that it can be separated from it environment4.
Barnard as cited in Sutarto (1985 : 53) was stating that prganization is a cooperative
activity system between two or more people. Organization is a grouping of people into
cooperation activity to achieve the objective which have already been established, while the
organizing is people ctivities in grouping, arranging and managing various job and occupation
which is needed to be implemented to achieve its objectives5.
Grindle as cited in Sedarmayanti (2012) reveals that organizational strengthening is one
dimension of capacity building. It further said that organizational strengthening, the center of
attention is directed to the management system to improve the performance of existing functions
and tasks and the arrangement of microstructures. The activities to be done are arranging
incentive systems, utilizing existing personnel, leadership, organizational culture, communication,
and managerial structures. This is also the focus of research6.

Sedarmayanti (2012 : 272) stated that government was defined in English as “authoritative
direction and administration of the affairs of men/women in nation, statem city, etc”. While
“governance” is defines as : “the act, fact, manner or governing”, thus, it can be concluded that
“governance” is an activity/process. United Nation Development Program (UNDP, 1997 : 19) is
seen the governance as “the implementer of the political authority, economic and administration
in administrating the nations matters”. A governance will be defined as a good one only if the
public resources and public matters is well managed and it is also a term of respond toward the
society needs7.

1. Participations : every citizen have their voice right in making the decision, both directly
trhough the mediation of legimitation of institution who are representing their interest.

whivh are related to the society is conducted based on the law;

ucknowledged, monitired, by many parties about its policy, the process of the governance
organization;
4. Responsiveness: all those governance intitutions will have to be perceptive, responsive the
interest its stakeholders;
5. Concesus Orientation: it is oriented to to the deal which can become the mediator for the
different interest as a way of looking for the best alternative and defending a broader interest.
6. Equity: the equivalence, all men or women, by not looking at thair wealthy status, have the
similar opportunity to get the prosperity right.
7. Effectiveness aand efficiancy: all of the activity process, the activity of the governance
intitutions can carried out their tasks.
8. Accountability: the decision maker in a governance, public servant and civil society is
responsible toward the public abd the intitutional stakeholders.

Gorontalo regency which is contain of some unit of the local institution either the one who are
responsible for the obligatory affairs or the government matters , based on the result of the
research it was showing that they have already implementing the system of giving the incentive
toward either the individual or employee or the Local organization in Gorontalo regency local
covernment environtment.
The policy of giving the incentives is one of the stimulation which was given toward the
personil/employee or organization with the purpose of encouraging them to act and do something
for the sake of organization interest. It means that the incentive is a form of motivation so that
they will have bigger encouragement to achieve the highest job productivity. The incentive

government of Gorontalo regency is acknoledged with the regent policy which is made in form of
the regent law No. 39 the year of 2014 and no. 3 the year of 2016. The payment of the fee is based
on the echelon. Echelon II Rp. 7.000.000, echelon IIIa Rp. 2.500.000, echelon IIIb Rp. 2.000.000,
echelon IV Rp. 1.500.000, and staff Rp. 700.000 (source: DPPKAD 2015).
The problem of the utilization of the personels/employee is focused on the matters of the
personels/employee distribution related to the placement of the apparatus in each unit surrounding
the Local Government of Gorontalo regency was showing the reality that the ratio pf the need of
each unit was not well fullfiled. They were not maximaly considering the relevancy yet, the
background and the education level or skill and the wuality of the personels with the kind of the
job or the available position.
The distribution of the personels/employee was still not reffering to the need ratio of the
unit surrounding the local government of Gorontalo regency. As well as the problem of the
placement or distribution of the personels/employees was still not reffering to the background of
the education and skill as well as it was still focused on the interest in placing the
personels/employees. The condition can influence the performance both individual and
organization.
The leadership in relation with the capacity building of the local governement of Gorontalo
regency. The succesfullness of an organization was not only related to the leader role or
leadership. It is also determined with the capacity of the personels. The capacity of the personels
in an organization have to be upgraded, so that they will achieve their goals.
The capacity building is a process of improving or changing the behavior of the individual,
organization, society system, in achieving the goal being set effectively and afficiently. The
capacity building as a strategy in improving the support of the institution in anticipating the
problem and needs being faced. Generally, the improvement and changing the behaviour will
include : (1) the improvementof the individual capacity (Knowledge, Skill and attitude); (2) the
improvement of the institutional capacity (organization management, financial and culture), and
(3) The improvement of society capacity (Independency, self-support, and changing anticipation).
Here, the role of the leader in the capacity building is counted.
The leadership is seen as an activity of influencing the attitude of people who are working
together with the similar goals. In other words, leadership is a skill of influencing a group to
achieve their own goals. There is a conceptual difference of leadership in which : the one who are
using the influence, the goals of influencing effort, and the way of using the influence.

The leadership style is an attitude norm which is used by someone when he or she is trying
to influence other people attitude such as what they want. Leadership style furthermore in an
organization is extremely needed to develop the conducive work environtment and building the
motivation atmosphere for the personel/employee particularly so that it is expected that it can
create the high work productivity of good performance. Leader cannot only used the similar
leadership style in leading the employee, however it should be appropriate with the charateristics
of the capacity every individual. The ladership style include, isntruction, consultative,
participative and delegative. The leader attitude in implementing the ladership style will be
showing the understanding level toward the quality of his or her employees.
Based on the description of expectation of the role model of the leadership with the real
condition in the work environtment surrounding the local government of Gorontalo regency, it
was showing the fact that the performace is a condition in which should be well understood and
informed toward the certain parties in order to find out the achievement any certain institution in
relation to its vision of an organization as well as finding out the postive and negative impact of
an operational policy being made. The work indicator being meassured will be seebn from the
characteristics of the work quality, the work quantity and the cooperation skill. The leadership
role furthermore is to create the target realization with the achievemnt ofevery program and
activity of every unit surrounding the local government of Gorontalo regency will be depend on
the leadership style in an organization body aither in the level of local government or each
organization of each unit.
The leadership with the situational style, participative and delegative however indirectly
giving the education of the independency in taking any action in carrying out the duty. It means
that the self awareness of a leader which is shown through the skill to influence and making
himself as the model as well as motivating others so that they will be encoraged to achieve higher
achievement based on the morality values such as : integrity, commitment, consistency,
profetional and communication skill; the example model as it has already been mentioned
previously is an attitude which is both consiously and unconsiously carried out by a leader and
interpreted by his or her employees as something to trigger them to do the exactly same thing.
Based on the result of the research in relation to the leadership matters surrounding the
local government of Gorontalo regency, there is one interesting aspect to be studied further such
as “moloopu” which is one important tradition which have already been conducted for a along
time. The implementation of the culture is implemented particularly to welcome the leader.
For example, in the enthronization of the regent and the vice regent of Gorontalo for the
periode of 2016 – 2021, Prof. Dr. Ir. H. Nelson Pomalingo, M.Pd and H. Fadli Hasan, ST. MT,
the array of the tradition functionary of Gorontalo regency, the event of the welcoming is using
the tradition of “moloopu” for both officials. The entire process starting from the process of the
nationality, in which the enthronization and the receiving process which is administratively is
carried out with the tradition “moloopu” which is believed by the society and the government as
the local wisdom belongs to Gorontalo regency and it is also beliaved that can influence the
leadershipt style for all level of leader.
The Organization culture in the ministry/institution environtment and the local government
can be known as the superiority of the organization in answering the challenge and change. The
ministry/institution and the local government is expected to be able to create and develope the
culture of organization which is orriented to the improvement of the performance through the
training of the education, the work evaluation of each unit and employees, socialization,
benchmarking, amd educational laboratory. The culture set in the grand design of the reformation
of birocracy, the culture of work is understood as the culture set. Im simple, it is defined as the
point of view of someone in giving the definition toward “work”. Thus, the work culture can be
defined as the attitude and behavior of an individual and group based on the value believed and it
has already become the nature and habits in carrying out the task and daily routin. In practice, the
work culture is relegated from the culture of organization. A job culture is an organization

commitment as the effort of building the human resources, work processes and better
achievement.
The work culture will give the benefit, both for the employee of the organization
environtment. Its benefit for the employee include giving them the chance to have the role,
perform, self actialization, avowal, appreciation, work pride, posessive feeling and responsibility,
broadening the knowledge as well as improving the leadership skill and problem solving.
The communication role in the program of work culture is the effort of opening the
birocracy barriers which make the human resources being separated, so that the communication
often delayed, which mean that the information spreading was not achieving its goals and it is
also resulting the difficulties in the effort of decision making participations. With the open
communication, then the way of cooperation and coordination will be so much easier. It is
because everyone will not only think about theirself .
The communication being made in the unit environtment of the local government of
Gorontalo regency have already been well implemented so that it is resulting the impact in which
the building of the synergy between the individual (personel/employee) and between the local
organization of Gorontalo regency, with the consideration that accelerating the feeling of
possesive and internalization; accelerating the process of the decision making; strengthen the
communication between the individual in the unit and between unit; facilitate the coordination
and facilitate the monitoring process abd evaluation.
Eventhough the aspect of cummunication generally have already been well carried out,
however it can be denied that in the process of implementation of the local government of
Gorontalo regency, there are still lack of coordination found and the comprehension in arranging
the work report and each activity of each unit in relation to the main job and function is till giving
the impact toward the compilation of the program and activity in which sometimes there will be
intesect happend. It is because the lack of syncronization of the relation between the units.
However, wholy, the aspect of communication in the implementation of the local government in
Gorontalo regency have already been well implemented.
The managerial structure in relation with the capacity building of local government of
Gorontalo regency. The managerial stucture of the unit is not proportionally designed based on its
needs and real characteristics of the terrytory. The organization structure originallt fat and less
efficient so that there are still intersect between the main tasks, function and authority between the
units. The managerial organization aspect in relation with the capacity buidling of the local
government of Gorontalo regency, pratically have already been well carried out. It is because in
its implementation of the governmental organization, as a bureaucrat instead of only
understanding the rule of the local Law and the regent rule, there is also the relationship between
the policy and rule to be comprehended. The bureaucrats have to understand their task and
function. The main task and function of the unit is arranged at the local and regent rule. Its unit is
devided into 5 element those are the staff who are responsible for the arrangement of the policy
and coordination, supervision division in form of inspectorate, planning division in form of
institution, and the support division in arranging and implementing the local policy which is
naturally specific in the form of local technical institution, the last is the the implementer of the
local affairs in form of local agency.

THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT IN COMMUNITY

FOOD COMODITIES

Abstract
This paper aims to describe the role of government policy in enhancing the existence of local
communities through the strengthening and protection of local food commodities. The strengthening
of local food by providing legality is one of the important approaches. Just as the legality of IG
(Geographical Indication) for local food is one form of protection for the existence of producers
(local community). Geographical Indication is a sign that indicates the origin of a good, which due to
geographical environmental factors including natural factors, human factors, or a combination of
these two factors provide certain characteristics and qualities in the goods produced. While Origin
Indication is a sign that fulfills the provisions of geographical indication marks that are not registered
or merely indicate the origin of a good or service. Currently, local food commodities require legal
protection for product sustainability and competitiveness. It is basically a form of community
empowerment, which is real in the economic field, as local commodities are vulnerable to unfair
business competition and vulnerable in the field of technology. To achieve this, it takes the role of
government through policy intervention in favor. This alignment is reflected in policy design. This
article generates views and thoughts on policy design that can be an insight, and an input for the
government in an effort to empower local communities, especial citrus.
Keywords: role of local government, strengthening food commodity, community empowerment
A. Background
The strengthening of local food at this time is very important to do. The government has a
strategic role by increasing patents or often referred to as Geographical Indications. Basically
Geographical Indication hereinafter called IG, is one of Intellectual Property Rights included in the
brand. IG is manifest as a sign usually consisting of product name, quality, or also symbols and
naming or traits that are caused by geographical or human character from the place of origin. As an
effort to protect local products in the form of Geographical Indication in Indonesia, the government
has issued legal products in the form of Government Regulation (PP) No. 51 of 2007 on Protection of
Geographical Indication which regulates its registration mechanism in the Director General of
Intellectual Property Rights of the Department of Law and Human Rights.
Potential Products to be Protected Geographical indications can be agricultural products,
food, and even handicrafts, as long as they carry the name of the place of origin, and the quality is
significantly influenced by the distinctive characteristics of the place of origin. It is this peculiarity
and originality that distinguishes a product from another product, in which the distinction is an

advantage of a place of origin not found elsewhere or from the beginning has become the identity of
the place of origin
Registration of Geographical Indications is required in the face of free market so that local
products can be protected and will provide added value and profit to the parties involved such as
farmers and exporters. In addition, product registration is also part of the marketing strategy, so the
product can be more expensive than similar products. In addition, local products must also maintain
the quality so as not to lose with the outside products and able to face free market competition. Legal
protection of local products, especially local products of orange semboro become very important and
necessary, where orange semboro is one of the local products typical of Jember region that must be
protected so as not to lose competitiveness with foreign products and domestic products from the
surrounding area. Semboro orange with a distinctive flavor is expected to be able to compete in the
free market and able to become the identity of the product of the region where the origin and able to
become a trademark of Jember Regency.
Geographical Indication (IG) is one of the Intellectual Property Rights (HKI) that allows the
owner to obtain legal protection and empowerment benefits because as the exclusive owner of certain
products, so that competitors can not imitate and claim. Semboro oranges as endemic products
produced from Semboro and surrounding clusters (Umbulsari, Bangsalsari, Semboro, Sumberbaru,
Jombang, Gumukmas, Kencong) sub-districts have certain characteristics that differentiate with
similar products elsewhere. These conditions can provide significant benefits to farmers, consumers
and governments. The Geographical Indication Certificate will provide protection so that no party can
claim and or commit any fraud by disguising the orange product. For the consumer, the Geographical
Indication certificate will provide certainty and guarantee of the product so that no one choose in
buying. For Jember regency government, the Geographical Indication certificate will provide benefits
as a protector of the interests of the farmers of Jember Regency. In addition, also a lighter protection
of other superior varieties in Jember District.
Registration of Geographical Indication requires the support of all stakeholders of Jeruk
Semboro consisting of citrus farmer groups, Jember District government and other parties such as the
Muhammadiyah University of Jember (PT), which provides assistance and initiation of registration.
All three elements must synergize to produce protection of citrus farmer Semboro. Thus the
registration of Geographical Indication of Jeruk Semboro becomes very important to do considering
the huge and significant benefits side to farmers, consumers and government. Geographical Indication
will also be a proof of the presence of the State in protecting the interests or human rights of its
citizens in the context of the right to undertake the effort to obtain prosperity.
B. Strengthening Local Commodities through Protection of Geographical Indications
Geographical Indication or abbreviated as IG is an indication or identity of an item derived
from a certain place, region, or region indicating the existence of quality, reputation, and
characteristics including natural and human factors which are attributed to the goods. The mark used
as a geographical indication can be either a label or label attached to the product.
The purpose of the geographical indication is to protect an item as a sign of the origin of an
item because of several factors of uniqueness that belong only to a particular region. This factor can
be caused by natural, human, or combined conditions between the two with certain characteristics and
qualities in the goods produced.
Geographical Indication is one form of legal protection of Intellectual Property Rights
(HAKI) provided by a State to the people who inhabit a particular geographic area because the
products produced from the region have a characteristic quality because of the influence of factors.
According to Sudaryat, Geographical Indications are used in conjunction with goods products in
terms of: place and place of origin; quality and characteristic of product, relation between quality or
product characteristic with geographical condition and karkteristik society of area / place of origin of
goods.

The existence of Geographical Indication is a species of Brand as a genus. The brand itself
must have sufficient distinguishing (capable of distinguishing), which has the power to distinguish a
product or service, in which the brand must be able to provide a determination that has a characteristic
in the goods or services concerned. Brands may be attributed to goods or parcels of goods or specified
in certain cases in respect of services. Philosophically need to balance between individual interests
with the interests of society, including in terms of intellectual property. The Intellectual Property
Rights System recognizes some basic principles as guidance. Some of these principles include, first,
the principles of justice, second, economic principles, third, cultural principles, and fourth, social
principles.
The basic registration of Geographical Indication Protection is TRIPs Agreement (WTO) and
RI Law no. 20 of 2016 on Brands and Geographical Indications. Semboro orange has uniqueness of
flavor quality, therefore Jember people need to register legal protection to Jeruk Semboro product
from this region. The exclusive right of protection of geographical indication is owned by a society
inhabiting an area, not by a particular company or individual. Applicant Geographical Indication must

To date there are approximately 241 varieties of orange parent trees from various regions
throughout Indonesia and some of them are introduced (Balijetstro, 2016). The high diversity of citrus
is due to its easy to cross nature. All species belonging to the citrus subgenus have several
characteristics that need to be considered in the establishment of varieties, including: leaf
morphology, plant habitus, leaf wing shape and absence, flower morphology, fruit morphology and
seeds.

Local Food Production Reality Versus Citrus Import Policy
Until now domestic production is only able to supply the national orange needs of five
percent of total consumption of at least 1.5 million tons per year. This is a concern as the number of
needs continues to increase an average of five to 10 percent per year according to population growth
and awareness to consume oranges. The decline in production volume can not be separated from the
excessive interference of the government during the New Order regime in the marketing of oranges.
This was evidenced by the enactment of the Siamese siamese trading system or monopoly for a
decade (15 April 1988-29 January 1998). The policy actually destroyed 20,000 hectares of oranges
and the future of hundreds of thousands of farm families. The citrus trading policy that was imposed
during that year slowly made farmers fall into poverty, because the prices that monopoly holders
imposed were so low from market prices.

On the other hand, farmers are also prohibited from marketing to other traders. Strict
monitoring is applied to farmers. If a farmer is caught selling his / her orange to another party outside
the collecting merchant that the monopoly owner has specified, it is immediately beaten and accused
of impeding national development. Fearful of violent acts of TNI, farmers finally just resigned to
market their commodities at low prices. So low income earned them more difficult to set aside the
cost of plant maintenance, so the plants are easily attacked by pests and production is also sharply
decreased.
As a result the number of farmers working on oranges is also reduced. If in 1992 as many as
34,613 people, three years later lived 26,493 people. After that continued to decrease, and in 1998 was
recorded only 1,991 people. Productivity continues to decrease. In 1992 the plant area was 21,377
hectares, but it produced 14,756 hectares with total citrus fruit produced 234,509 tons. Three years
later, the plant area is 16,980 hectares, and the production area is only 6,621 hectares with a
production capacity of 128,000 tons. In 1998 the plant area decreased, ie, 3,906 hectares and the
production of 1,132 hectares with a production volume of 6,792 tons. In 1996 direct production fell to
793,810 tons. After that, it declined further, and in 2000 it stood at 368,522 tons.
At the same time, Indonesia imported oranges in volumes and values that far exceeded
exports. Based on comparative studies, PT Multi Jeruk Lestari (MJL) in several Asian countries
shows, the development of oranges in Indonesia is still far behind with other countries. China, for
example, has a population of 1.3 billion people with an orange plantation area of 2.4 million hectares.
Each hectare is capable of producing 10 tons of high quality oranges a year, or a total production of
24 million tons per year. As much as 80 percent is used for domestic consumption, and 20 percent is
exported. As many as 10 percent of which are the best quality fresh oranges (class A) are only
exported to Europe. Meanwhile, the remaining 10 percent are low quality oranges (class C) which are
only exported to Indonesia.

Based on the data, the average growth of orange import every year since 2000-2011 amounted
to 11% or 5,099,686 kg. The significant increase in imports has become a challenge for the national
citrus industry. If the import of oranges in 2010 amounted to 160,254,789 kg or 160,255 tons, while
the national citrus production capacity in 2009 was 2,131,768 tons, the import value was still small at
7.5% of the national production. However, the fact is that so many and easy imported citrus fruits can
be found in supermarkets to street vendors, even to traders in traditional markets who sell more
imported fruits than local fruits.

Potential Local Commodity Protection Policy: Tariff and non-Tariff Protection
Tariff is the most common trading policy, is a kind of tax imposed on imported goods.
Specific tariffs are charged as a fixed load of units of imported goods. While ad valorem tariff's (ad

valorem tariff's) rate is the tax imposed on a certain percentage of the value of the imported goods.
Tariff is the oldest form of trade policy and has traditionally been used as a source of government
revenue for a long time. However, the main purpose of imposition of tariffs is usually not solely on
the income of the government's cash lover, but also as a tool to protect certain sectors in the country
from the pressure of imported product competition.
The tariff barrier policy is a protectionist policy on domestic production goods from the threat
of flooding of similar goods imported from abroad, by withdrawing import duties on every imported
goods to be consumed / consumed in the country. Various kinds of tariffs or duties, namely: 1) Export
duties are taxes or duties imposed on goods transported to other countries (excluding custom areas);
2) Transit duties (transit duties) shall be taxes or duties imposed on goods which are within the
territory of a country with the final destination of the goods of the other country; 3) Import duties are
taxes or duties imposed on goods entering a country (within a custom area).
The tariff barrier policy certainly has a tariff effect. The usual effects are as described below.
The imposition of tariffs on goods may have an effect on the economy of a region, especially on the
market of the goods. Some of the tariff rates are: 1) Price effect; 2) Effect on consumption
(consumption effect); 3) Protective / import substitution effect; 4) Effects on redistribution of income
(redistribution effect).
In addition to the tariff policy, other policies that can be expected to protect the community in trading
with outsiders, namely non-tariff barrier policy (non-tariff barrier). What may also be done is, the
enactment of a special trade policy. In fact, the tariff is the simplest form or type of trade policy. In
the practice of world trade in this modern era, most governments interfere in international trade
activities by using other more complex policy instruments such as Protective politics that are used by
the government to protect the growing domestic industry (infant industry) and the competition
imported goods.

Empowerment in this regard has to do with enabling farmers to increase knowledge in the
areas of planting, marketing and protecting land and agricultural products. Through the process of
managing and publishing Geographical Indications for the citrus products it produces and the process
of improving the understanding of IG utilization and improving the implementation of the
consequences of IG, it is possible farmers will be more empowered and have hopes his income will be
more stable and protected. The other side of this farmer empowerment model will be supplemented
with additional protection measures through protection from the Local Regulation on the tariff of the
outside products as well as incentives for the growers of local superior products. More systematic
models can be observed in the following figure.

Abstract
This paper aims to illustrate how the dynamics of central-local relations in governance in Indonesia. Through
descriptive qualitative writing method and data collection through desk research method, this paper discusses how
the attraction of power that occurs in the administration after the reform era until now has not found the ideal format
in governing the government. The role of local government in Indonesia after the reform era is to become the main
actor in building the quality of life in accordance with local wisdom owned by each region. The consequence that
arises is to provide democracy and autonomy to the region. Unfortunately, the democratization process in accordance
with the local wisdom of each region is not going well in the regions. The phenomenon that arises from the creation
of "small kings" in the area, to the gap between regions. Therefore, the central government undertakes a
decentralization of the regional power. That is, there arises a concern or distrust of power that has been owned by the
region. Of course, this changed the order of government that had, and put aside its purpose of bringing prosperity.
Central-regional relations are more interested in the use of authority that is large, broad and powerful, rather than
power sharing. The challenge must be answered if it wants to create asymmetric decentralization in governance.
Particularly related to the effort to build autonomy of local government authority in determining development process
and political independence according to local wisdom of each region, and at which level of government is entitled to
get and implement asymmetric decentralization.
Keywords: Democracy and autonomy, Central-Regional Relations, Asymmetric Decentralization.
Pendahuluan : relevansi dan urgensi
Tulisan ini hendak memberikan gambaran tatanan hubungan pusat-daerah yang diharapkan memiliki kendali
dibalik proses demokrasi dalam menghadirkan kesejahteraan masyarakat daerah. Permasalahan ini menarik untuk
dikaji karena keresahan pusat terhadap keberagaman daerah, tepatnya demokrasi dan otonomi daerah yang dirasakan
memberikan kewenangan yang besar sehingga marginalisasi peran atau kepentingan pusat terhadap daerah. Begitu
juga sebaliknya, pusat memunculkan undang-undang pemerintah daerah tahun 2015 yang cenderung resentralisasi.
Sangatlah ironis jika kita ingat bahwa, pusat mengesankan dirinya sebagai penentu atau menjadi harapan dalam
mencari solusi. Artinya, pendulum pengaturan tatanan hubungan pusat-daerah kembali bergerak. Kajian akan dibatasi
pada tatanan hubungan pusat-daerah.
Demokrasi menjadi ruang bagi pemerintah untuk mensejahterakan masyarakat. Tujuan untuk kesejahteraan
ini juga menjadi dasar perubahan yang membentuk pemerintahan saat ini. Perubahan pemerintah saat ini, tidak lagi
berdasarkan pada penyeragaman melalui komando atau hirearki, maupun hanya berdasar pada pelimpahan wewenang.
Tentunya, perubahan ini mengubah paradigma pengelolaan pemerintahan, antara pemerintah pusat dengan pemerintah
propinsi atau pemerintah daerah. Oleh karena itu, perubahan paradigma pengelolaan pemerintahan harus berdasarkan
maupun berdampak pada hubungan pusat dan daerah. Bagaimana melakukan penataan ulang terhadap kewenangan di
masing-masing tingkat pemerintahan.

Pada perkembangannya, terdapat beberapa arus yang mendorong pola hubungan pusat dan daerah. Arus
tersebut adalah demokrasi, desentralisasi, dan otonomi. Hal tersebut yang membawa kewenangan daerah mempunyai
ruang untuk mengatur dan mengurus dirinya sendiri. Sebagaimana diketahui, demokrasi telah melahirkan pemilihan
kepala daerah secara langsung, sedangkan otonomi telah melahirkan ruang kewenangan bagi daerah atas penguasaan
sumber daya dan berhak mengatur dirinya sendiri. Namun demikian, menjadi menarik apabila melihat posisi
desentralisasi. Desentralisasi lebih dimaknai kepada pelimpahan wewenang. Hal ini secara eksplisit menggambarkan
bahwa desentralisasi dan dekonsentrasi merupakan hal yang bersifat relatif sama.
Sifat kewenangan dari desentralisasi dan dekonsentrasi yang relatif sama bisa dipahami bahwa pola yang
terbentuk adalah pusat menentukan terlebih dahulu kewenangannya, yang kemudian daerah memiliki sisa
kewenangan tersebut atau yang tidak diatur. Sebagaimana diketahui terdapat dua pola dalam menetapkan kewenangan
pusat dan daerah, yakni pusat yang ditentukan dahulu apa saja yang menjadi kewenangannya kemudian sisanya
diberikan kepada daerah, atau daerah yang ditentukan terlebih dahulu apa saja yang menjadi kewenangannya
kemudian sisanya diberikan kepada pusat. Artinya, desentralisasi merupakan kewenangan yang dimiliki daerah.
Kewenangan ini bersifat kewenangan diluar apa yang menjadi kewenangan pemerintah pusat. Akan tetapi, hal
tersebut kemudian tidak lantas memberikan kebebasan daerah untuk menentukan kewenangan apa saja yang
seharusnya. Kewenangan ini kemudian juga terbatas pada kewenangan yang secara spesifik sesuai dalam undangundang. Dengan demikian, desentralisasi dan dekonsentrasi memiliki arti kewenangan yang terbatas.
Terdapatnya kewenangan spesifik yang telah ditentukan menunjukkan adanya unsur kepentingan pemerintah
pusat. Kepentingan pemerintah pusat kemudian mempengaruhi corak daerah. Hal tersebut tentu menjadi hambatan
apabila pusat menjadi corak yang dominan bagi daerah, maupun menganggap dirinya sebagai penentu dan pembuat
kebijakan yang mengetahui kebutuhan masyarakat. Hal ini berlawanan dengan keragaman masyarakat daerah dan
kebutuhan oleh masing-masing daerah. Tentunya, kebijakan dapat saja tidak sesuai dengan keragaman masyarakat
yang di daerah, oleh karena keragaman masyarakat tidak dapat digenarilisasikan, serta yang memahami kebutuhan
yang dibutuhkan oleh daerah adalah daerah itu sendiri. Sebagaimana diketahui bahwa dengan memainkan peran yang
dominan bagi corak daerah, maka pusat seringkali mendapatkan perlawanan dari masyarakat daerah. Artinya, perlu
adaya penataan tatanan pemerintahan kembali sehingga kepentingan pusat dalam hal menjaga kesatuan dapat
terlaksanakan, tanpa harus menjadi corak yang dominan bagi daerah.
Lebih lanjut, proses demokrasi dan otonomi juga menimbulkan implikasi bagi daerah. Keterbukaan ruang
untuk mengatur dan mengurus dirinya sendiri kemudian seringkali diidentikkan dengan pelaksanaan demokrasi secara
prosedural. Konsekuensi yang muncul adalah adanya pemilihan kepala daerah di setiap level pemerintahan. Tentunya,
hal ini juga menimbulkan implikasi negatif, disamping implikasi positif. Terlalu sering muncul “hiruk-pikuk” proses
demokrasi karena terjadi di setiap level pemerintahan dan ketidakefektifan hubungan penyelenggaraan pemerintahan
pusat daerah. Hal ini yang kemudian dapat menghambat hubungan pusat-daerah.
Proses demokrasi yang terjadi di daerah telah dilakukan pada setiap level pemeritahan, kecuali Daerah
Istimewa Yogyakarta. Artinya, proses demokrasi tersebut meliputi pemilihan gubernur, walikota, bupati secara
langsung.Berdasarkan pada data yang disampaikan oleh Direktur Penataan Daerah dan Otonomi Khusus Kementerian
Dalam Negeri, bahwa terdapat 542 daerah otonom di Indonesia.Selain itu, berdasarkan pada kode dan data wilayah
administrasi pemerintahan yang ada pada Ditjen PUM Kemendagri, bahwa terdapat 34 propinsi di
Indonesia.Berdasarkan pada penjelasan data tersebut, maka terdapat sekitar 550 daerah yang kemudian berpotensi
melaksanakan pemilihan kepala daerah secara langsung. Tentunya, hal tersebut memunculkan proses hiruk-pikuk
dalam pelaksanaan demokrasi di daerah.
Proses hiruk-pikuk tersebut tidak hanya berpotensi terhadap munculnya konflik, tetapi juga berpotensi
terhadap efektivitas hubungan penyelenggaraan pemerintahan pusat-daerah. Oleh karena, hubungan penyelenggaraan
pemerintah pusat-daerah dengan adanya proses demokrasi tentunya dipengaruhi oleh antara konstelasi politik nasional
dengan politik daerah. Seringkali, koalisi politik nasional yang dibentuk berbeda dengan politik daerah. Artinya,
demokrasi dan otonomi daerah menghasilkan banyak proses pemilihan kepala daerah, berpotensi munculnya konflik,

dan mengganggu efektivitas penyelenggaraan pemerintahan. Hal tersebut menunjukkan ketidaksesuaian dengan
konsep kesatuan.
Dinamika demokrasi dan otonomi daerah juga telah dijelaskan oleh Santoso (2012), bahwa diamanatkan
konstitusi agar tata pemerintahan di Indonesia menjamin kesatuan Indonesia, sedangkan ada keharusan untuk
memberlakukan otonomi seluas-luasnya.Selanjutnya, desentralisasi dipahami sebagai langkah pemerintah nasional,
yang mana karena keterbatasan kapasitasnya, lebih mengandalkan kewenangan konstitusionalnya ketimbang
legitimasinya sebagai pembingkai dan penganyam keragaman daerah (Santoso, 2010).Oleh karena itu, desentralisasi
asimetris dirasakan menjadi peluang baru pengaturan hubungan pusat-daerah untuk Indonesia (Santoso,
2012).Tentunya, desentralisasi asimetris perlu dikaji lebih lanjut sehingga menemukan format tatanan hubungan
pusat-daerah maupun tatanan praktek demokrasi di daerah.Oleh karena, hal ini bertujuan agar kesejahteraan yang
menjadi dasar perubahan tata penyelenggaraan pemerintahan, juga dapat menghadirkan kesejahteraan dalam
demokrasi tanpa mengganggu kesatuan yang diamanatkan oleh konstitusi dan juga efektivitas tatanan
penyelenggaraan pemerintahan.Artinya, kesejahteraan tidak hanya menjadi dasar perubahan paradigma tatanan
pemerintahan, tetapi juga menjadi tujuan bagi perubahan tersebut.
Dari apa yang telah dijelaskan, terlihat bahwa masih terdapat dinamika hubungan pusat-daerah. Pemerintah
pusat masih menggunakan pelimpahan wewenang untuk mendorong kepentingannya tanpa melihat keragaman
daerah. Akan tetapi, juga terlihat bahwa proses demokrasi dan otonomi yang terjadi di daerah telah menunjukkan
kebebasan yang berlebihan. Oleh karena itu, perlu untuk dikaji lebih jauh bagaimana tatanan hubungan pusat-daerah,
dan juga terkait dengan pengaturan pada level tingkat pemerintahan mana saja yang dapat diberikan atau tidak
diberikan demokrasi dan otonomi.
Desentralisasi asimetris : sebuah pencarian awal format hubungan pusat-daerah
Demokrasi dan otonomi memiliki arti kewenangan yang luas.Demokrasi dan otonomi erat kaitannya dengan
politik.Hal tersebut tercermin pada kekuasaan yang terdapat di daerah.Oleh karena itu, proses demokrasi dan otonomi
merupakan ruang untuk mengisi penyelenggaraan pemerintahan di daerah agar dapat sesuai dengan kebutuhan daerah.
Proses tersebut kemudian melibatkan apa yang telah diidentikkan dari demokrasi, yakni dari, untuk, oleh rakyat.
Konsekuensi yang muncul adalah penguatan lokal atau kearifan lokal di daerah.Penguatan lokal atau kearifan lokal di
daerah yang kemudian dicoba untuk didorong melalui demokrasi di tingkat lokal.Lebih lanjut, penguatan juga terjadi
terhadap penyelenggaraan pemerintahan di daerah.Penguatan tersebut dilakukan melalui otonomi daerah.Hal ini
diharapkan dapat memenuhi pelayanan publik sesuai dengan kebutuhan dan kultural masyarakat di daerah.
Dalam kajian tentang teori demokrasi dikenal dua pembagian yang saling berhubungan dalam proses
demokrasi, yakni demokrasi prosedural dan demokrasi substansi. Demokrasi prosedural berdasar pada argumen
bahwa kehendak rakyat sebenarnya hasil dari proses politik. Artinya, proses politik tersebut yang kemudian dilihat
sebagai sebuah prosedur demokrasi.Berbagai kalangan yang mendukung konsep demokrasi prosedural kemudian
merumuskan metode maupun prosedur agar tercapainya keputusan politik, sehingga individu atau kelompok yang
memiliki agregasi kepentingan dapat memperoleh kekuasaan.Artinya, yang lebih tampak dari demokrasi procedural
adalah kontestasi aktor maupun partisipasi pemilih, selain dari mekanisme aturan main.
Dahl (1989) menjelaskan bahwa terdapat tujuh indikator dari sistem yang demokratis adalah :
1. Kontrol pada pembuat kebijakan dilakukan oleh pejabat publik yang terpilih
2. Pemilihan pejabat publik diselenggarakan melalui pemilu yang teratur, fair dan bebas.
3. Setiap warga negara memiliki persamaan hak memilih dalam pemilu
4. Setiap warga Negara memiliki persamaan hak untuk dipilih dalam pemilu
5. Jaminan hak sipil politik.
6. Adanya saluran informasi yang tidak dimonopoli pemerintah atau kelompok tertentu.
7. Adanya jaminan untuk membentuk dan bergabung pada organisasi, termasuk partai politik dan
kelompok kepentingan.

Pada perkembangannya, demokrasi prosedural kemudian memperluas pada jaminan kebebasan dan akses minoritas
dalam mengikuti prosedur atau mekanisme demokrasi.Artinya, kemudian adanya penguatan hukum dan bersifat
dikriminatif.Selain itu, terdapat pula mekanisme dalam demokrasi prosedural yang membatasi kekuasaan berbentuk
pada perimbangan kekuasaan.Dengan demikian, demokrasi prosedural lebih menitik-beratkan pada rule of law dari
kontestasi dan partisipasi dalam memperoleh kekuasaan dan keputusan politik.
Apa yang terdapat pada demokrasi prosedural mengalami perdebatan yang lebih menginginkan demokrasi
secara substansi. Oleh karena, demokrasi prosedural dipandang sebagai demokrasi semu oleh kalangan demokrasi
secara substansi.Oleh karena itu, demokrasi diharuskan juga memandang bahwa terdapat kehendak rakyat dan
kebaikan bersama. Artinya, demokrasi kemudian bukanlah sesuatu proses pengadopsian dari luar dan bukan hanya
melihat pada prosedur demokrasi. Terlebih, titik tekan kontestasi dalam demokrasi prosedural lebih kental terasa,
mengesampingkan titik tekan pada partispasi dalam pembuatan keputusan politik.Konsekuensi yang muncul adalah
penguatan peran partisipasi dalam keputusan politik.Lebih lanjut, demokrasi substansi lebih menekankan bahwa
kehendak rakyat dan kebaikan bersama ini haruslah sesuai dengan nilai atau kearifan yang ada.Hal tersebut bertujuan
agar bekerjanya demokrasi lebih dapat menghadirkan keterlibatan dan kegunaan demokrasi bagi kehidupan mereka.
Dengan demikian, demokrasi substansi tidak hanya sebatas pada variable input, melainkan juga pada variable output
dalam menghadirkan kegunaan demokrasi.
Terdapat titik tekan bahwa menghadirkan keterlibatan dan juga menghadirkan kegunaan sebagai variable
dalam demokrasi substansi, juga memiliki kesamaan dari titik tekan kemunculan penguatan daerah melalui
otonomi.Otonomi daerah lahir dari keinginan pelaksanaan pemerintahan daerah untuk mengatur dirinya sendiri sesuai
dengan kebutuhan daerah.Artinya, kemunculan lokal atau kekhasan daerah menjadi konsekuensi yang seharusnya
muncul.Namun, tidak dapat dipungkiri bahwa meletakkan kekhasan daerah dan juga menghadirkan kebaikan bersama
sesuai dengan kehendak masyarakat, dalam hal ini daerah, sulit diwujudkan di dalam konstitusi negara kesatuan.
Kesulitan tersebut tampak dalam keinginan pusat untuk penyeragaman atas keragaman daerah.Padalah jika
dilihat dari sejarah pemebentukan Negara Indonesia bahwa pemerintah pusat telah mendapatkan legitimasi atas
daerah-daerah yang ada. Artinya, kekhawatiran akan perpecahan dan pembangkangan oleh daerah tidak perlu terjadi.
Apa yang terjadi pada awal era reformasi adalah lemahnya kapitas pemerintah pusat dan menguatkan pemerintahan
daerah, serta ketidakhadiran peran pemerintah provinsi.
Dalam menyikapi tatanan penyelenggaraan pemerintahan pusat dan daerah, maka perlu dikaji mengenai
konsep desentralisasi dan dekonsentrasi.Desentralisasi adalah pembagian kewenangan serta tersedianya ruang gerak
yang memadai untuk memaknai kewenangan yang diberikan kepada unit pemerintah yang lebih rendah (pemerintah
lokal) (Imawan, 2002). Sedangkan, dekonsentrasi lebih merefleksikan adanya redistribusi tanggungjawab adminitratif
dari lembaga pemerintah pusat (Rondinelli, 1983). Berikut ini tabel perbandingan desentralisasi dengan dekonsentrasi

Lebih lanjut, menurut Cohen dan Peterson (1999) terdapat enam pendekatan dalam desentralisasi yakni :
1. Bentuk desentralisasi berdasarkan asal-usul daerah.
2. Bentuk desentralisasi teritorial dan fungsional
3. Bentuk yang berpusat pada masalah dan nilai
4. Bentuk pemberian pelayanan
5. Bentuk pengalaman tunggal negara
6. Bentuk-bentuk desentralisasi berdasarkan tujuan
Munculnya bentuk-bentuk pendekatan dalam melihat desentralisasi, maka bentuk tersebut menggambarkan
bagaimana bentuk pelimpahan wewenang kepada daerah berdasarkan pada tujuan pelimpahan, sasaran atau objek dari
pelimpahan, serta tanggung jawab dari pelimpahan tersebut. Konsekuensi yang muncul adalah adanya pelimpahan
wewenangyang berdasarkan pada tujuan pelimpahan dalam perbaikan pelayanan dan efisensi, adanya delegasi yang
merupakan pelimpahan berdasarkan pada sasaran atau objek dari pelimpahan, serta devolusi dimana pelimpahan
berdasarkan tanggung jawab bagaimana menentukan prioritas dalam pelayanan maupun dalam pemberian pelayanan.
Pada perkembangannya, pelimpahan tersebut melahirkan gagasan mengenai penerapan desentralisasi
asimetris. Inti desentralisasi asimetris adalah terbukanya ruang gerak implementasi dan kreativitas provinsi dalam
pelaksanaan pemerintahan di luar ketentuan umum dan khusus (Said, 2010).Artinya, desentralisasi asimetris
kemudian sangat bergantung kepada kemampuan pemerintahan tersebut. Oleh karena itu, titik tekan disini adalah
bagaimana isu terkait dengan peningkatan kapasitas daerah juga dimunculkan, disamping pencarian format tatanan
pemerintahan. Selanjutnya, desentralisasi asimetris juga terkait dengan urusan yang fundamental terkait pola
hubungan pusat dan daerah seperti desain kewenangan, kelembagaan, finansial dan kontrol yang berbeda (Kurniadi,
2012). Hal tersebut sebenarnya tidak perlu menjadi kekhawatiran bagi pusat atas keterbukaan ruang yang dihasilkan
dari desentralisasi asimetris. Oleh karena, format desentralisasi telah lama ada di Indonesia, seperti di Aceh, Papua,
Yogyakarta, Jakarta (Syafarudin, 2015).
Dari apa yang telah dijelaskan maka penyertaan gagasan terkait dengan desentralisasi asimetris dapat menjadi
sebuah pencarian awal format hubungan pusat-daerah. Format dengan menggunakan konsep desentralisasi asimetris
kemudian dapat menjawab kebutuhan dari daerah atas penyelenggaraan pemerintahan yang berdasarkan pada
kesesuaian kebutuhan dan kebebasan ruang bagi daerah. Meskipun demikian, format tersebut belum menjawab
keresahan atas kepentingan pusat dalam hal menjaga kesatuan dapat terlaksanakan, tanpa harus menjadi corak yang
dominan bagi daerah. Artinya, perlu adaya pencarian format dalam penataan tatanan pemerintahan atau hubungan
pusat-daerah yang juga memperhatikan kepentingan pusat.
Metode Penelitian
Penelitian ini bersifat kualitatif dengan menggunakan metode desk-research. Nantinya, penelitian ini
menggunakan data yang didapatkan dari laporan penelitian, jurnal, majalah, media massa.
Pembahasan : Rainbow cake yang tak pernah jadi
Pada tatanan pemerintahan terkait hubungan pusat-daerah terdapat tiga level pemerintahan, yakni pemerintah
pusat, pemerintah provinsi, pemerintah daerah. Tentunya, kita berbicara tentang relasi kekuasaan diantara ketiga level
tersebut. Apabila melihat dari segi sejarah, maka format tatanan pemerintahan telah mengalami banyak perubahan.
Pernah kekuasaan pusat lebih besar daripada kekuasaan provinsi maupun daerah. Pernah juga kekuasaan daerah
kemudian mengembang lebih besar sehingga memarjinalkan kekuasaan yang lain. Artinya, “kue” kekuasaan tersebut
tidak pernah jadi. Apa yang telah dirancang maupun dirumuskan untuk “kue” tersebut kemudian bergantung pada
faktor lingkungan dan pembuat keputusan politik, seperti demokrasi, emansipasi, hingga rezim.

Lebih lanjut, apabila akan membuat tatanan maka seharusnya mengetahui konfigurasi politik dari relasi
kekuasaan antara pusat dan daerah. Hal ini bermanfaat agar dapat membingkai relasi kekuasaan tersebut. Diharapkan
dengan hal tersebut dapat menyampaikan rekomendasi bagaimana format relasi kekuasaan pusat-daerah.
Tentunya, pusat telah menjadi pemerintahan yang memiliki kekuasaan yang besar dibandingkan dengan
provinsi dan daerah. Sebagaimana Artinya, seharunya kewenangan yang telah dimiliki oleh daerah tidak perlu
dikurangi agar kemudian daerah dapat patuh terhadap provinsi, sebagaimana maksud dari pemerintah pusat. Hal
tersebut kurang sesuai dengan pemerintahan modern. Sebagaimana Rasyid (dalam Hidayat, 2015) mengungkapkan
bahwa penarikan kewenangan dari pemerintah yang lebih rendah ke pemerintah yang lebih tinggi dalam pemerintahan
modern adalah hal yang tidak lazim. Selain itu, apabila memang pusat ingin membesarkan peran provinsi, seharusnya
provinsi mendapatkan pelimpahan kewenangan dari negara, bukan mengambil kewenangan dari kabupaten/kota
(Hidayat, 2015).
Seringkali melemahnya kekuasaan pusat identik dengan pergantian kekuasaan di pusat atau kontestasi politik
nasional yang meninggi. Tantangan akan melemahnya kekuasaan pusat terlihat pada masa kepemimpinan Suharto.
Menurut Hendityo (1990) terdapat tantangan utama Orde Baru yakni :
1. Bagaimana membangun legitimasi sebagai penguasa
2. Bagaimana membangun stabilitas demi pembangunan
3. Bagaimana membangun kekuasaan sebagai pemerintah pusat yang mempunyai kewenangan di daerah-daerah.
Oleh karena itu, Pemerintahan Suharto mengantisipasinya dengan (Utomo, 1998) :
1. Use of authority yang besar, luas dan kuat
2. Berkurangnya freedom for subordinate
Hal itu kemudian menimbulkan implikasi bagi daerah. Pertama, munculnya dominasi prinsip dekonsentrasi dalam
penyelenggaraan pemerintahan di daerah. Konsekuensi yang muncul kemudian adanya struktur paralel pusat di
daerah-daerah. Kedua, terdapat penyeragaman struktur pemerintahan daerah secara nasional. Hal tersebut berakibat
pada ketimpangan pembangunan. Oleh karena, pemerintah daerah diluar jawa masih menyesuaikan dengan struktur
pemerintahan yang identik dengan “jawa” dan birokrasi modern, selain dikarenakan adanya sentralisasi pemerintahan
dan pembangunan. Hal tersebut yang menimbulkan ketimpangan distribusi keuangan pusat-daerah.
Pada saat reformasi, muncul adanya tuntutan atas distribution of power, sharing of income, dan kemandirian
sistem pemerintahan di daerah. Saat itu, kekuasaan pusat melemah sedangkan kekuasaan daerah menguat. Daerah
“memberontak” pusat dengan menggunakan isu federalisme dan disintegrasi. Konsekuensi dari hal tersebut adalah
diberikannya otonomi bagi daerah. Otonomi yang diberikan bersifat luas dan nyata sehingga hal tersebut yang
menjadi momentum bagi daerah untuk melakukan pembangkangan terhadap Gubernur. Artinya, peran dekonsentrasi
juga menghilang. Sebagaimana dijelaskan pada undang-undang tentang pemerintahan daerah tahun 1999 bahwa
Negara Indonesia terdiri atas daerah dan daerah kabupaten/kota. Hal tersebut sering diidentikan dengan “raja kecil” di
daerah.
Secara perlahan, kekuasaan pusat mulai pulih sehingga kewenangan pusat mulai diperkuat dan juga
mengembalikan peran dekonsentrasi pada tingkat provinsi pada undang-undang pemerintahan daerah tahun 2004. Di
sisi lain, kekuasaan daerah berupa otonomi tetap ada dan bertambah dengan diadakannya demokrasi di tingkat lokal.
Artinya, terjadi penguatan di masing-masing level pemerintahan. Meskipun demikian, otonomi daerah bisa saja
merupakan salah satu solusi, dalam konteks tertentu dan dalam manajemen tertentu, namun bisa juga justru
sebaliknya (Anggoro, 2010).
Pada perkembangannya, pendulum tarik menarik hubungan pusat-daerah memunculkan resentralisasi pada
tahun 2014. Tentunya, hal ini banyak dikhawatirkan akan menimbulkan sentralisasi yang pernah muncul pada saat
orde baru. Di sisi lain, pusat beranggapan bahwa dengan penguatan di propinsi penting dilakukan agar proses
pembangunan dapat terarah.Silang selisih tentang pengaturan tatanan kehidupan politik dan pembiayaan
pemerintahan bisa mengarah pada persoalan yang lebih serius, baik persoalan itu berupa derivasi dari sistem nasional
secara umum maupun konsekuensi lain, misalnya kesenjangan antar daerah, yang pada akhirnya merupakan tantangan
tersendiri terhadap ikatan-ikatan pada tataran nasional (Anggoro, 2010). Berikut ini tugas dan fungsi gubernur sebagai

wakil pemerintah pusat dalam pembinaan dan pengawasan terhadap penyelenggaraan urusan pemerintah daerah yang
menjadi kewenangan daerah kabupaten/kota adalah:
1. Mengkoordinasikan pembinaan dan pengawasan penyelenggaraan tugas pembantuan di daerah
kabupaten/kota.
2. Melakukan monitoring, evaluasi, dan supervisi terhadap penyelenggaraan pemerintahan daerah
kabupaten/kota yang ada di wilayahnya.
3. Memberdayakan dan memfasilitasi daerah kabupaten/kota di wilayahnya.
4. Melakukan evaluasi terhadap rancangan perda kabupaten/kota tentang RPJPD, RPJMD, APBD, perubahan
APBD, pertanggungjawaban pelaksanaan APBD, tata ruangdaerah, pajak daerah, dan retribusi daerah.
5. Melakukan pengawasan terhadap perda kabupaten/kota
6. Melaksanakan tugas lain sesuai dengan ketentuan peraturan perundang-undangan.
Selanjutnya, kewenangan dari Gubernur dalam menjalankan funngsi kewenangannya adalah :
1. Membatalkan perda kabupaten/kota dan peraturan bupati/walikota
2. Memberikan penghargaan atau sanksi kepada bupati/walikota terkait dengan penyelenggaraan pemerintahan
daerah.
3. Menyelesaikan perselisihan dalam penyelenggaraan fungsi pemerintahan antar daerah kabupaten/kota dalam
satu daerah provinsi.
4. Memberikan persetujuan terhadap rancangan perda kabupaten/kota tentang pembentukan dan susunan
perangkat daerah kabupaten/kota
5. Melaksanakan wewenang lain sesuai dengan ketentuan peraturan perundang-undangan.
Dalam konfigurasi politik undang-undang pemerintahan daerah, terlihat peran penting posisi provinsi dalam
tarik-menarik kekuasaan pusat-daerah. Sebagaimana diketahui pada saat pusat mencoba untuk menggunakan use of
authory yang dimiliki maka provinsi memainkan peran penting sebagai keterwakilan pusat dalam mengontrol daerah.
Artinya, peran provinsi dapat menjadi solusi bagi kehawatiran pusat atas kekuasaan yang dimiliki oleh daerah, Oleh
karena itu, penguatan provinsi dalam undang-undang pemerintahan daerah tahun 2014 dirasakan sudah sesuai dengan
konsep penguatan provinsi sebagai perwakilan pusat di daerah. Hanya saja, yang menjadi permasalahan adalah
penguatan kekuasaan provinsi tersebut berasal dari kekuasaan daerah. Tentunya, penguatan kekuasaan provinsi
seharusnya berasal dari kekuasaan pusat. Hal ini kemudian menjadi titik kerancuan dalam tatanan pusat-daerah yang
baru.
Pada saat ini terdapat kerancuan dalam tatanan hubungan pusat daerah maupun susunan pemerintahan.
Apabila melihat secara keseluruhan, maka terdapat susunan pemerintah pusat, pemerintah provinsi, pemerintahan
kabupaten/kota, kecamatan, dan desa. Saat ini, yang telah memiliki otonomi penyelenggaraan pemerintahan adalah
pusat, kabupaten/kota, dan desa. Pemerintahan provinsi dan kecamatan lebih bersifat keterwakilan pemerintahan.
Namun demikian, provinsi memiliki pelaksanaan demokrasi berupa pemilihan gubernur secara langsung, sedangkan
kecamatan tidak.Tentunya, hal tersebut tidak dapat terjadi dikarenakan alasan/dasar pertimbangan yang ada pada
prinsip dekonsentrasi tidak mengikusertakan unsur politik. Hal tersebut berbeda dengan konsep desentralisasi dimana
ada unsur politik dalam dasar pertimbangan pelaksanaannya.
Lebih lanjut, apabila memakai perspektif demokrasi yang berarti liberatif, maka posisi tiap struktur dalam
susunan pemerintahan haruslah melaksanakan pemilihan kepala secara langsung. Artinya, tidak hanya provinsi saja
yang melakukan proses pemilihan kepala daerah secara langsung, melainkan juga pelaksanaan tersebut juga dilakukan
pada level kecamatan. Konsekuensi yang muncul adalah semakin banyaknya “hiruk-pikuk” demokrasi di
Indonesia.Hal tersebut tentu kecil kemungkinan dikarenakan faktor luasnya wilayah dan banyaknya jumlah. Terlebih,
hal tersebut tidak sesuai dengan prinsip yang ada yakni sebagai “wakil pemerintah”.
Oleh karena itu, konsekuensi yang muncul adalah pengembalian posisi pemerintah provinsi sebagai wakil
pemerintah. Artinya, penghapusan pemilihan Gubernur secara langsung. Kedua, penguatan kewenangan provinsi
sebagai wakil pemerintah seharusnya diberikan dari kekuasaan yang dimiliki pusat, bukan berasal dari pengambilan
kekuasaan daerah. Ketiga, melekatnyakewenangan sebagai pembinaan, pengawasan, dan pengevaluasi kinerja

pemerintah daerah, termasuk pengentasan kesenjangan antar daerah khususnya. Dengan demikian, posisi provinsi
sebagai “wakil pemerintah” terlihat jelas.
Untuk pelaksanaan pemerintahan daerah tetap mengedepankan prinsip otonomi, demokrasi dan desentralisasi
asimetris.Hal ini bertujuan agar terciptanya penguatan partisipasi masyarakat, kekhasan tiap daerah, serta
kesejahteraan berdasarkan pada prespektif masing-masing daerah.Sebagaimana yang dijelaskan oleh Anggoro (2010)
ambang yang tidak boleh dilanggar, dalam hal ini, adalah bekerjanya sistem nasional dimana tentu dengan catatan
bahwa sistem nasional itu mampu memberikan perlindungan bagi kepentingan warga sebagai individu maupun
kelompok serta manifestasinya dalam sosok pemerintahan, khususnya daerah (Anggoro, 2010).
Kesimpulan
Demokrasi menjadi ruang bagi pemerintah untuk mensejahterakan masyarakat. Tujuan untuk kesejahteraan
ini juga menjadi dasar perubahan yang membentuk pemerintahan saat ini. Terdapat titik tekan bahwa menghadirkan
keterlibatan dan juga menghadirkan kegunaan yakni kesejahteraan sebagai variable dalam demokrasi substansi, juga
memiliki kesamaan dengan titik tekan kemunculan penguatan daerah melalui otonomi. Otonomi daerah lahir dari
keinginan pelaksanaan pemerintahan daerah untuk mengatur dirinya sendiri sesuai dengan kebutuhan daerah. Artinya,
kemunculan lokal atau kekhasan daerah menjadi konsekuensi yang seharusnya muncul. Namun, tidak dapat
dipungkiri bahwa meletakkan kekhasan daerah dan juga menghadirkan kebaikan bersama sesuai dengan kehendak
masyarakat, dalam hal ini daerah, sulit diwujudkan di dalam konstitusi negara kesatuan.
Dalam konfigurasi politik atas tarik-menarik kekuasaan pusat-daerah terlihat bahwa corak dinamika yang
terjadi dipengaruhi oleh politik nasional. Artinya, kekhawatiran atas keragaman maupun kekuasaan yang didapat oleh
daerah tidak dapat dijadikan alasan bagi pusat untuk mengurangi kekuasaan daerah dengan cara resentralisasi. Kedua,
kekuasaan yang dimiliki oleh daerah, yang mana dianggap terlalu bebas, dan tidak munculnya kesejahteraan di daerah
sebenarnya lebih kepada permasalahan peningkatan kapasitas pemerintah daerah dalam mengakses maupun
mengelola sumber daya yang dimiliki. Ketiga, kekuasaan pemerintahan provinsi dalam tatanan pemerintahan harus
dikembalikan kepada fungsi yang seharusnya, yakni sebagai “wakil pemerintah”. Fenomena terkait dengan adanya
pemilihan Gubernur seharusnya dihapus dikarenakan tidak sesuai dengan prinsip dekonsentrasi. Selain itu, penguatan
kekuasaan pemerintah provinsi haruslah berasal dari turunan maupun pemberian kekuasaan yang dimiliki oleh
pemerintah pusat, bukan mengambil kekuasaan pemerintah daerah. Keempat, pelaksanaan dan penguatan
desentralisasi asimetris di daerah, berserta pelaksanaan demokrasi dan otonomi, harus dilakukan agar terciptanya
penguatan partisipasi masyarakat, kekhasan tiap daerah, serta kesejahteraan berdasarkan pada prespektif masingmasing daerah. Dengan demikian, dapat disimpulkan bahwa tatanan pemerintahan di Indonesia seharusnya melihat
pada sifat dan tujuan dari tiap level yang ada pada susunan pemerintahan.
Implikasi
Implikasi dari tulisan ini adalah :
1. Kembalikan fungsi dekonsentrasi pada pemerintah provinsi tanpa harus mengurangi kekuasaan
pemerintah daerah, dan hapus pemilihan Gubernur secara langsung.
2. DPRD Provinsi atas representasi daerah bukan lagi sebagai representasi partai politik, berfungsi
sebagai mekanisme penyeimbang terhadap fungsi pembinaan, pengawasan, dan pengevaluasi kinerja
pemerintah daerah.
3. Terapkan demokrasi asimetris, otonomi, dan demokrasi bagi pemerintah daerah.
4. Perkuat kapasitas masing-masing level pemerintahan agar kesejahteraan masyarakat dapat terwujud.

Abstract
This study aims to find out the considerations to carry out the affirmation and form of affirmation of
the citizenship status of migrant of South Philippines in Talaud Islands Regency in 2010-2014.
This research uses qualitative method with case study approach. Data were obtained from in-depth
interviews with a number of informants representing former officials and government officials in the Talaud
Islands Regency.. The collected data is analyzed through three stages, namely reading the transcript,
categorizing and contextualizing.
The results of the study indicate that: (1) the affirmation of citizenship status to the South Philippine
migrants in the Talaud Islands Regency due to humanitarian factors, the unavailability of State Court Office
that can decide the status of citizenship, geographical constraints, and management through a long process;
(2) affirmation of citizenship status toward South Philippine migrants in Talaud Islands Regency is done
through the provision of identity cards.
In general, the implementation of the affirmation of citizenship status to the South Philippine
migrants is part of the responsibility of the government of the Talaud Islands Regency in carrying out the
duty of service in the field of population.
Keywords: citizenship status, migrant, identity cards.

A. Introduction
One of the areas in Indonesia that has a sea borders with the Philippines is the border area of
Sangihe-Talaud. This border region is administratively located in the Sangihe Islands Regency and
Talaud Islands Regency, North Sulawesi Province. This border region has several problems. First,
there is no agreement on the maritime boundary between Indonesia and the Philippines (Tabloid
Diplomasi No. 61 VI, 2013: 09). Second, the existence of various illegal activities, such as illegal
fishing, illegal trade and illegal entry (Salindeho & Sombowadile, 2008, 232-236; Ulaen, 2012, 133134).
The mobility of the populations who crossed the administrative boundary between Indonesia
and the Philippines has occurred long before the two countries gained their independence, and this
mobility did not bother the Dutch government ruling at that time since the issues of territorial
boundary and the identity of the nation were not important and the Dutch government’s interests
were not disturbed (Ramos in Tan-Cullumar, 1993, 41; Ulaen, 2003, 17).
Following the independence of Indonesia and the independence of the Philippines,
geographical boundaries in both countries began to be regulated including arrangements on the
traffic of the mobility of the population and goods between the two countries. Consequently, the
mobility of population and goods must pass through the Border Crossing Entry and Exit Station so
as not to be referred to as illegal entry.
Since the 80s the migration of Sangir-Talaud descendants from the southern Philippines to
Indonesia has emerged both legally and illegally (Raharto et al., 1993, p.36). Until now the
migration of the population continues, and the migrants are scattered in the regencies and cities in
the North Sulawesi Province. Their presence in Bitung (the Capital of Bitung City) 1 and in Tahuna
(the Capital of the Sangihe Islands Regency) are treated as foreign citizens because they have no
identity as Indonesians. Even their presence in Tahuna is disturbing and gets resistance from the
local population.2 In contrast, in the Talaud Islands Regency there are 321 South Philippine migrants
who have gained affirmation as Indonesian citizens (WNI) during 2010-2014.3
Based on the above phenomenon, the study on the process of gained affirmation as
Indonesian citizens of the migrants of South Philippines in Talaud Islands Regency in 2010-2014 is
relevant to be done because it is closely related to the capacity of local governments in implementing
the function of public services in the field of population.
Research studies specializing in migrants from South Philippines have been conducted by
several researchers. First, Tan-Cullamar (1993), examines the Indonesian diaspora in Southern

Philippines. Secondly, Raharto et al., (1993), examines the potential possessed and the potential of
nature and business that can be developed in a region that wants to be targeted in Indonesia to
support the lives of migrants from southern Philippines who want to migrate to Indonesia. Third,
Velasco (2010), examines the issues that exist in Indonesia-Philippine border region, especially in
Indonesia border region. Fourth, Kimbal et al. (2014), conducted a study on the identification and
distribution of illegal border crossers from the South Philippines in the area of North Sulawesi
Province. Fifth, Pristiwanto (2014), examines the activities of border crossers in the IndonesiaPhilippine border region. Sixth, Niode (2015), conducted a study on the implementation of the rules
governing the mobility of people and goods in the Indonesian-Philippines border region. And
seventh, Niode (2017), examines the identity of citizenship of migrants and driving and pulling
factors the migration of the descendants of Sangir-Talaud and the Filipinos from the southern
Philippines to the territory of Indonesia. This study focuses on the consideration of the affirmation
and the form of affirmation of the citizenship status of Migran of South Philippines in Talaud Islands
2010-2014.
The choice of Talaud Islands Regency as a research location is based on the consideration
that in this region there are 321 migrants from South Philippines who have been granted status as
citizen. In addition, the region is geographically bounded by the sea with the Philippines so that this
region becomes the origin of the Indonesian population who will migrate to the Southern
Philippines, as well as being the destination of migrants from South Philippines who will migrate to
Indonesia.
The time limit of the study, which is 2010-2014, is due to the consideration that in that period
there were 321 migrants from the southern Philippines who obtained their identity card as an
affirmation of their Indonesian citizenship during 2010 - 2014.
B. Research Methods
This research is a qualitative research. This research was conducted in Talaud Islands
Regency. The focus of this study is the consideration of the affirmation of citizenship status through
the provision of identity card to migrants of the Southern Philippines in Talaud Islands Regency in
2010-2014.
Considering the need for data and information, the informants who were interviewed are
village officials, sub-district officials and district officials (the Agency of Population and Civil

Registry; and Kesbangpol); as well as the migrants from the southern part of the Philippines who
have gained status as the citizens of Indonesia. The sampling technique used for this study was
purposive sampling and the informants’ initials are used in order to preserve their confidentiality.
To maintain the confidentiality of the informant, the identity of the informant uses the
informant code. For example, an informant who provided an answer was coded as 'AD1' (the AD
symbol was a Village Official, 1 representing the informant's number), 'AK1' (AK symbol is an
informant of Sub-district Official, 1 representing informant number), 'ADK1' (ADK symbol the
Agency of Population and Civil Registry; and Kesbangpol officials, 1 representing informant
number).
Data validation technique is done through triangulation. While the data are analyzed through
3 (three) stages, namely reading the transcript, categorizing and contextualizing (Maxwell, 1996, p.
78-79).
D. Results
From an interview with AD1 on the reason of a helpful offer to process the citizenship of the
South Philippines migrants, it was found that they asked about and requested citizenship. The part of
the interview is as follows: “…they have had homes and lived here for a long time…They requested
to be citizens here”. Similar experiential information was conveyed by AD2: “they requested to
me…I informed them that I could not help all processes. There are other things to consider…”
Such an experience of AD2 was experienced by AD3. AD3, on the other hand, consulted the
officials of the sub-district and civil service and registration prior to an action, as written in the
following interview transcript.
“Once I asked the officers of the sub-district and civil service and registration. They said the
migrants could potentially become citizens…but with further consideration”.
The various information to some extent depicts that the request of the South Philippines
migrants to obtain citizenship cannot be readily granted by the head of the sub-district due to some
consultative consideration with the officials of the district and civil service and registration of the
regency.
In an interview on matters regarding citizenship or access to Indonesian citizenship for the
South Philippines migrants in the Regency of Talaud Islands, AK1 said:
“If I’m not mistakencitizenship is a court decision or legalized by a certain official…that’s what the
constitution says. There is no court office in Talaud; we should go to Tahuna. It’s one of the
obstacles here. Therefore, I always tell the staff under my authority to make decisions based on
regulations.”
The statement indicates the lack of legal institutions, namely State Court Office, is a reason
that citizenship or the change of citizenship political status of the South Philippines migrants in
Talaud Islands cannot be implemented in the Regency of Talaud Islands.

More comprehensive reasons on obstacles in citizenship change of the South Philippine
migrants in the Regency of Talaud Islands were put forward by ADK1 and AD2, respectively:
“…citizenship is a long process and there is no immigration office… only in Tahuna and Manado.
Secondly, there is no court office. Thirdly, Immigration Post is not in Melonguane, but in Miangas
and Marore. This makes it hard for someone born in the Philippines but an Indonesian descent; this
person is not a Filipino so he is a stateless and undocumented person. We need to consider this…
and it is the basis of my follow-up action. Yet, material consideration on their part should be made;
the regulation serves as a reference”.
“Actually it happens because of certain reasons from either the sub-district head or the head of civil
service and registration. If there should be such a regulation, it requires inter-institution
coordination. The problem is who will decide them as Indonesian citizens. Up to now no State Court
Office is found in Talaud; there is one in Tahuna and none in Melonguane here...”.
The obstacles in a political status change of citizenship of the South Philippines migrants has
brought about an initiative to affirm their political status through the involvement of institutions and
the local society as put forward by A2:
“It is difficult to process because there is no court, so based on humanity the acknowledgement
starts from the bottom, from the society to the government. The government should involve the
society as two determinant components. If one component acknowledges it, the government of the
sub-district can legitimately issue a certificate of residence...whichwill be forwarded to the district
and regency. He will be a legal citizen…”
The next question arising is on the document that can be used as a proof that South
Philippines migrants are Indonesian citizens. From an exhaustive interview with the decision
makers, it was found that the citizenship of the South Philippines migrants was identified with
identity cards, namely Indonesian Identity Card (KTP). Therefore, the Indonesian Identity Card is
the reference of the South Philippines migrant citizenship. The results of the interviews are as
follows:
“…they only process the Indonesian identity card, and they are readily Indonesians” (AD1).
“…about the Indonesian identity card…They are legal Indonesian citizens by having Indonesian
identity card. This is also a part of precursory consideration” (AD2).
“… the government of the sub-district can legitimately issue a certificate of residence so the person
is a legal citizen due to the legal the basis. After six months the district government should attempt to
legitimate in the form of Indonesian identity card (KTP),a birth certificate…acknowledgement
originates from the office of civil registration so the Indonesian identity card is issued” (AK3).
From the explanation it is clear that the change of citizenship political status of the South
Philippines migrants in the Regency of Talaud Islands is based on the lack of a court office,
geographical obstacles because the court office is outside of Regency of Talaud Islands, and the long
process of the citizenship status change. The document as a proof of Indonesian citizenship for the
South Philippines migrants is the Indonesian Identity.

E. Discussion
The change of citizenship status of the South Philippiness migrants in the Regency of Talaud
Islands from the human right perspective is based on humanity as stated in Universal Declaration of
Human Rights of the United Nations, article 15 stating that:
(1) Everyone has the right to nationality;
(2) No one shall arbitrarily deprived of his nationality nor denied the right to change his nationality.
Another consideration of the citizenship change of the migrants is a part of public service in
fulfilling the needs and interests of the society. Citizenship and issuing the document as a proof of
citizenship is a responsibility in accountability, obligation, and cause (Spiro in Ndraha, 2010, p. 8788). The decision is a discretion4 carried out by the government (the government of Sub-district,
District, and Civil Service and Registration) of the Regency of Talaud Islands.
The affirmation of citizenship status as a proof of Indonesian citizenship according to
Suganda (2007, p. 214) is through the Indonesian Identity Card and the birth certificate as Act
Number 12 of 2006 on Indonesian Citizenship does not mention Certificate of Indonesian
Citizenship. Therefore, the Indonesian Identity Cards possessed by the South Philippines migrants is
the proof that they are Indonesian citizens.
F. Conclusion
The results of the research indicate that the affirmation of citizenship status of the South
Philippines migrants in the Regency of Talaud Islands from the perspective of human rights is based
on humanity. The lack of a court office that can decide on citizenship, geographical obstacles, and
the long process are contributing factors to the affirmation of citizenship status of the South
Philippines migrants in the Regency of Talaud Islands.
A legal proof of Indonesian citizenship of the South Philippines migrants in the Regency of
Talaud Islands is the Indonesian Identity Card.
Affirming the citizenship status of the South Philippines migrants is a part of the
responsibility of the Regency of Talaud Islands government in civil service.

Abstract
This study aims to describe the potential trend of corruption in Indonesia. At the local government level, the potential
for corruption is exposed through the use of less focused regional budgets (APBD), the procurement process of goods
and services procurement, business licensing services and the excesses of local elections that encourage negative
relations between incumbents and bureaucrats, and society. Those four gaps appear to be potential through various
indications that are difficult to overcome. The control of local gaps in corruption needs to be done through a
consistent redesign of the system and law enforcement as demonstrated by anti-corruption institutions such as Komisi
Pmeberantasan Korupsi (KPK).
Keywords: Potential Corruption Trends, Local Government, Corruption Eradication.
INTRODUCTION
Phenomenon of corruption are now a common sight in various media on almost every week. On a horizontal
line The tendency of corruption spreads in almost all branches of power, both legislative, executive and judiciary.
While the vertical level of corruption symptoms is prevalent in almost every hirakhi government, both in the center of
power to the lowest levels of local government and village. It must be acknowledged that the tendency for the
symptom of corruption has undergone a kind of resurgence since the 1998 reform. The symptoms of corruption are
like getting a decent place for growth and development. The corruption that has only grown in the executive, now
rapidly flows into the legislative, judicative and back to the branch of the executive power. In the new order period
until its downfall, executive dominance made corrupt behavior as stored neatly in documents only known by the
regime in power. Whatever the results of the examination by the Agency. The Financial Auditor (BPK) ultimately
relies heavily on the president's final decision as head of government. At the regional level these conditions are
sustained by systemic changes that allow executives to be legally deprived by the legislature through accountability
mechanisms by the end of the fiscal year, widespread public pressure, and end-of-term accountability. As a result, the
executive seems to succumb and the wheels of government are relatively politically controlled by the legislative
group from planning to implementation. The climax of most legislative members is plundered in the case of collective
corruption5. The condition entered fertile age until the 2004-20096 legislative period. In the third period of reform age
5
This phenomenon can be seen in the case of DPRD Southeast Sulawesi, Banten and West Sumatra period 1999-2004. In general
there are 323 DPRD members from 1999 to 2004 stumbling on corruption. In 2006 over 1000 DPRD members stumbled over
corruption, and in 2008 the number of law-enforced board members increased to 1400 (Republika, 2008).

(2009-2004) The potential tendency of corruption enters a new phase at the level of the central bureaucracy and
Senayan in particular7. For the central bureaucracy we can take the example of corruption cases in three strategic
ministries namely the ministry of health, education and religion8. Although corruption cases by DPRD members in the
regions have decreased due to the aggressiveness of law enforcement and system changes that limit the DPRD's
control function9, executive discretion, however, restores the authority of regional heads to do many things, thus
encouraging abuse of authority that automatically adds to the potential Trend of corruption. In Kemendagri's records,
until the end of April 2012 there were 173 regional heads from 524 autonomous regions involved in corruption 10. Of
these 70% by the court have been found guilty. That is, 1/3 of the total head of the region allegedly harm the state,
enrich themselves or others either intentionally or not11. The number of reports of corruption cases up to the beginning
of July 2012 reached 3,423 cases. If averaged, each head of region contributes to approximately 20 corruption cases.
Of those problems, 85 percent revolve around the procurement of goods and services. If the gap of corruption focuses
on four main issues besides the procurement tender of goods and services, it can be assumed that the remaining 15
percent is related to the obscure use of APBD / APBN, central and local licensing manipulation, and excesses of
election which result in money laundering in the form of money politics12. If compared to the previous year, until June
2011, the symptoms of corruption growth have actually been detected by PPATK. Of the 2,258 reports of financial
transactions, there were 1,153 suspicious transactions conducted by regional treasurers. Modusnya buy a letter of
Bank Indonesia and deposit the local money. In addition to the local treasurer, 376 regional heads and 339 other
officials made suspicious transactions.
The above data shows the potential tendency of corruption to experience some kind of shift and enlargement at
certain entities. At the center level corruption undergoes a cycle shift in every branch of power, while vertically in the
area of corruption experiences enlargement at the level of a particular government entity where authority is abundant
due to system changes that provide a number of opportunities. If so how is the tendency of potential corruption in
some local governments today? The results describe four main variables The tendency of potential corruption in local
government that drags a third head of the region in the case of corruption in Indonesia. The four variables are the use
of regional budget (APBD), the procurement of goods and services, business licensing, the impact of conflict of
interest of officials in the bureaucratic environment, and the excesses of election which raises the cost of payback
increased13. The final note summarizes the need for efforts to influence the system through redesigning local
government legislation, local elections, and consistent oversight to control and narrow the potential for corruption in
local government.

During this period a number of previous council members (1999-2004 period) were forced to reimburse the Incentive
Communication Benefit Fund as a result of the unclear application of PP 24/2004 on the Financial Deposit and the Protocol of
Leaders and Members of the Council, especially the Provincial and Regency / City DPRD. The next two government regulations
(PP 36 and 21) that clarify the interpretation continue to pose polemics and tensions between the old DPRD and Kemendagri.

Hambalang corruption cases by some members of the House of Representatives (2012) and a number of important officials in the
Ministry of Youth and Sports became a new round of corruption transition from lower to higher levels, having previously started
from the arrest of a number of senior politicians in almost all political party representatives for corruption cases the period 20042009 and 2009-2014.
8
Since 2010-2012 the three ministries have been tainted by corruption. The case of the Ministry of Health in the provision of
health facilities involved the former Minister of Health for the period 2004-2009. Symptoms of corruption in the ministry of
education are more in the procurement of books until the School Operational Fund (BOS) funds are never empty from the public
spotlight. While the ministry of religion is also under public pressure over the transparency of the endowment of the people, the
pilgrimage to tender procurement of the Qur'an in 2011 and 2012 and Madrasah computer laboratory (Indopos, July 10, 2012).

System changes occurred since Law 22/1999 on Regional Government was revised into Law 32/2004 which limited the control
function of DPRD. The vulnerable impeachment efforts appear to be limited by PP No.3 / 2007 of PP 108/2000 on the Regional
Head Accountability Report.

1. Literature Review
Definition of orruption by Klitgaard (1988: 31) is an act that harms the state. According to him, behavior
deviates from the official duties of a state office because of the benefit of status or money concerning personal
interests (individuals, immediate families, groups themselves) or violates the rules of conduct through some personal
conduct. Klitgaard formulates corruption is the result of a monopoly of leader power (monopoly of power) coupled
with a high degree of discretion of official without adequate supervision of the supervisors (minus accountability).
The extent of power tends to encourage the mastery of resources by an effective force. In this context the government
has widespread powers and tends to monopolize through a system designed in such a way. In authoritarian-centralized
governmental systems monopolistic symptoms are easy to grow and multiply. Great power in the central government
gave birth to discretion to carry out various policies without effective control of society. This is where the symptoms
of corruption seem to have a chance to grow further. Nevertheless, the symptoms of corruption are not merely the
possession of authoritarian governments, the countries that are now turning to democratic systems have more severe
problems and corruption challenges. Concerns Susan Rose-Ackerman affirmed in viewing the problem of corruption
in Italy, the shift from authoritarian rule to democratic government does not necessarily bring the effects of reduced
bribery. The Weyland study (1998: 108) shows that corruption tends to increase sharply just as the country moves into
a democratic system.14 Three reasons as argued by Latif (2012: 5-6) reinforce our belief that corruption really earned
the first place, the distribution of power as it did in post-reform Indonesia. The change of centralized government
pattern to decentralized through regional autonomy has shifted corruption practices that previously dominated the
central government has now become rampant in the region. This is in line with Klitgaard's opinion that corruption
follows power. The transition of authority ultimately merely displaces the locus of corruption from the center of
power to the local government. The policy of decentralization is the basis for the exploitation of corruption. This
condition is growing rapidly when low public supervision and lack of law enforcement. Second, democratization at
the central and regional levels stimulates neoliberal policies that open up capital interventions in the preparation of
bribery regulations and practices to smooth the interests of investors in the competition. The bribery practices at the
central and regional levels in the smoothing of tender transactions of goods and services and the smoothness of
licensing can easily be identified in almost all levels of government. Third, the involvement of public participation in
the democratic party event appears not to be driven by awareness in determining the future of the region, but rather on
the pragmatic interests that suck the cost of election is so expensive.
In the formulation of Ramirez Torres (Maslikah, 2012: 79) corruption is a crime of calculation or calculation
(crime of calculation), not just passion. A person will be corrupt if the results obtained from corruption are higher and
greater than the punishment and the possibility of small caught. Torres's views are not much thought but the reality
shows the quantity of corruption continues to grow even though many perpetrators have been serving sentences in
democratic transition countries. The loss of deterrent and low corruption may be caused by the calculation of the gap
between the degree of action and the burden of punishment. In the case of Indonesia, for example, the perpetrators of
corruption with the value of billions to trilunan rupiah is not strange if only get a sentence of less than five years, or
even equal to the punishment for an amateur thief. The low penalties ultimately undermine the deterrent effect for
society, this is much different when compared with the application of punishment for corruptors in authoritarian
countries such as China.
Regarding the root causes of corruption, Jack Bologne (in Maslikah, 2012: 80) points out four important
things that influence corruption behavior. First, greed, related to greed and greed of corrupt perpetrators. Corruptor
according to him is a person who is not satisfied with his situation. This stage leads to a high boost to always satisfy
him. Opportuniy, a system that provides opportunities for corruption. Weak systems that limit the contact between the
bureaucracy and the community in the procurement of goods / services and licensing often make corruption a
tradition. Need, a mental attitude that never felt enough, always loaded with needs that never end. This is an internal
impulse that allows a person to feel important to meet all his needs consumptively. Exposes, the punishment imposed
on the perpetrators of corruption did not give a deterrent effect for the perpetrators and others. The last cause is in line
with Torres's view where corruption actors are able to calculate the great benefits with the consequences of
punishment that will be accepted so as not to cause deterrent effect for the perpetrator and the environment. The above

view at least gave birth to the simple conclusion that the factors causing corruption are internally affected by the
weakness of the government system and the bureaucracy, while externally triggered by the low public control system.
In Tranparency International's conclusions as TII's guidebook (2002), corruption triggers are caused by many
factors including inconsistent law enforcement, abuse of power / authority, scarcity of anti-corruption environment,
low incomes of local government organizers, poverty and greed, cultural tribute, permissive (all-inclusive), the failure
of religious education and ethics as the moral defender of the nation in preventing corruption. Corruption is widely a
serious challenge to the development of a country, both in the political and economic sectors. In the political aspect,
corruption is slowly destroying the democratic order and good governance through violation or even destabilization of
formal processes or procedures. In the economic aspect, corruption can undermine economic development through
deviations and inefficiencies of public resources. At some level corruption can be the cause of economic distortions in
the public sector by diverting public investment into capital projects when bribes and kickbacks occur.
In connection with the endurance of the government as a public servant, the impact of corruption according to
Evi Hartanti (in Surachmin and Suhandi Cahya, 2011: 85) caused distrust in the form of less trust in the government,
reduced government authority in society, reduced state revenues, fragile security and , personal mental destruction,
and low public respect for the law. In particular, corruption reduces the ability of the government apparatus, reduces
administrative capacity and the loss of administrative authority. In general, corruption can dispel public confidence in
state institutions that are considered to have played illegally. This can be considered rent seeking. In political
dynamics, the condition is reinforced by executive dominance that causes loss of respect for good governance values
such as accountability, transparency, and participation. Corruption also reduces the performance and values of
governance in terms of quality of service and infrastructure by the government. At the pragmatic level corruption
directly leads to waste of resources, running capital, disruption to investment, wasted skills, and lost aid. At the
extreme point of corruption leads to instability, social revolution, and socio-cultural inequality.
Based on some opinions above, if observed activities at the level of government organizations there are four
important aspects that cause corruption. First, it deals with the behavior of the internally driven individual in the form
of desire, intention, or even awareness to do. Second, the organizational aspects of governance related to the system
of organizing the community environment. Organizations that are victims of corruption or where corruption occurs
usually contribute because it provides opportunities for corruption. Without the opportunities referred to corruption is
relatively not the case. For example, if government salaries are low, then corruption is the mainstay for survival.
Differences in benefits can encourage employees to tend to seek additional employment. Other causes of corruption
from an organizational point of view include lack of exemplary leadership, lack of good and correct organizational
culture, low accountability systems, and management behaviors that tend to cover up corruption within the
organization. Third, the regulatory aspect, where corruption acts easily arises because there are weaknesses in the
regulation. Regulatory tendencies that are monolithic, low quality, poorly socialized, too light sanctions, inconsistent
and indiscriminate sanctions, weak areas of evaluation and revision for particular interests make the regulatory aspect
one of the advocates of corruption clearance. Fourth, the supervisory aspects undertaken by relevant agencies are less
effective due to several factors, such as overlapping oversight of various agencies, lack of supervisory
professionalism, lack of coordination among supervisors, lack of compliance with legal ethics and governance by the
supervisors themselves. In some cases the supervisors were involved in corrupt practices. On the other hand, external
controls by the public and the media seem weak, thus adding to the row of bad image of monitoring corruption. If
government behavior, systems, organization and supervision are not fixed then in the end the government office will
only be filled by most of the two types of workers: firstly, low productivity workers that can not be used in similar
work in the private sector, and second, workers willing to accept bribes .

4. Result and Discussion
4.1 Trend of Corruption Potential in Local Government
After the government reform, the corruption shift due to the distribution of power from the central government to the
post-decentralized region opened the gap of corruption in four main variables, namely the mode of budget use and
regional expenditure, the procurement of goods and services, business licensing, and excesses of election which led to
pragmatic behavior at the level voters.
a. Use of APBD
Regional Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBD) is a detailed, systematic list of local revenues and
expenditures within a certain period of time (one year). APBD has strategic functions such as allocation, distribution,
stabilization, authorization, planning, supervision, distribution, intrumentation, resources, stimulus and politics
functions. The meaningful allocation function of APBD is directed to create jobs, reduce unemployment and waste of
resources, and improve economic efficiency and effectiveness. Distribution function in the sense of paying attention
to the sense of justice and propriety. The function of economic stabilization means that APBD is a tool to maintain
and strive for a fundamental balance of the regional economy. The authorization function means APBD is the basis
for implementing revenues and expenditures for the year. The planning function is the APBD as a guide for
management in planning activities in the year concerned. The supervisory function of the APBD is a guide to assess
the activities of local government administration in accordance with the stipulated provisions. Resource allocation
function. The function of income distribution is very important, especially in an effort to improve people's welfare.
Function Main instrument of economic and social justice creation. The function of government administration
(service, development and empowerment). Function of economic growth stimulus, function of public interest. The
function of political power to prosper society.
Modes of misuse of APBD in general include efforts to increase / enlarge the budget to increase the
allowances and facilities for board leaders and members, channeling APBD funds for board members through
fictitious foundations, manipulation of official travel evidence, use of unearned and unprofessional funds, procedures
for submission and disbursement of local cash funds, manipulation of residual APBD and manipulation in the
procurement process. Efforts to enlarge the budget are done by using technical instruments that provide limitless
ceilings or take the upper limit even if the regional capability in terms of finance and regional tipelogi less adequate.
The actual budgetary eye swell is not directly related to the corruption of the head of the region, but the approval of
the regional head allows the head of the region to be responsible for the problem. For example, the budget ceiling for
board member incentive communication benefits as stipulated in Government Regulation No.24 / 2004 on the
Protocol and Financial Positions of Leaders and Members of the DPRD is limited only by general principles such as
equality, tiered, proportional, reasonable, logical and rational. Such a principle raises excessive interpretation and
improvisation among local governments, so it is decided through a mutually beneficial compromise. Budget
flexibility is also carried out by utilizing price disparities prevailing in a location, including enlarging budgets in the
"unexpected needs" or "etc." list. The enlargement of the budget to the above needs group allows the regional heads to
be free to use for emergency reasons. Such budget allocations are usually deposited in the household section in the
form and term of tactical and similar funds. In the mode of use of APBD funds channeled through fictitious
foundations, it is often used by regional heads and DPRDs to channel donations in the form of social assistance and
grants. Selected district heads who usually come from majority parties collaborate with DPRD members to channel
assistance to a number of community organizations that were formed from the outset. The recipients are deliberately
mobilized to receive actual assistance belonging to the regional head and a number of DPRD members. The flow of
funds eventually flowed into the pockets of regional heads, party officials, successful teams and board members. This
condition has prompted the Ministry of Home Affairs to issue Permendagri 32 Year 2011 on Grants and Social
Assistance. This provision strictly regulates and limits the distribution of grants and social assistance to community
organizations through a number of conditions. In the case of manipulation of official travel is done through the mode
of multiplying consultation activities, workshops, education and training, comparative study and technical guidance.
The swelling of local budget (APBD) on the costs of official travel in the regions has generally reached the area of the
tube. Local governments and DPRDs are convinced that the use of APBDs through official travel is the safest way of

threatening corruption. Such ways are increasingly easy to find due to the absence of an instrument that limits the
frequency of heads of regions and DPRDs to travel within a week, a month or a year. The allocation of the official
travel budget is made by estimating the average frequency of journeys of local chiefs and members of parliament in
the previous year by taking the highest estimate
.
Use of unrecounted and unregulated fund remnants, deviation of procedures for submission and disbursement
of local cash funds, manipulation of residual APBD and manipulation in the procurement process can be seen in cases
in a number of districts and provinces. The vacuum of instruments in the distribution of residual APBD and the
situation that confronts the regional heads on the momentum of the election and the political pressure of the DPRD
encourages regional heads with the existing authority tends to take pragmatic action. The distribution of the remainder
of the APBD is done even through the imposition of legal impression in the form of local regulations and decisions of
the regional head. Such a scene impressed the public that the local government did not make mistakes in the use of
APBD because it has been through a mechanism regulated in legislation. The general procedure in the case of the
residual budget is basically returned to the central government, in reality the procedure is rarely done by the local
government unless it accelerates the budget absorption before closing the book. These activities are usually done
during budget changes. In this context APBD planning applies the principle of saving as little as possible at the
beginning of the year and absorb as much as possible at the end of the year.
The impact of the APBD's corruption gap ultimately technically eliminates the focus of the initial planning
design, as well as the farther from the ideal function of the APBD itself. Significant allocation functions create jobs,
reduce unemployment and waste of resources, and improve the efficiency and effectiveness of shifting economy into
a budget allocation for individuals and groups close to power. The function of distribution in the sense of paying
attention to the sense of justice and propriety turns into injustice and impropriety. The indication can be seen in the
accumulation of wealth in a group of people, impoverish the people and display consumptive behavior among local
government elites. The function of economic stabilization, which means APBD is a tool to maintain and strive for a
fundamental balance of regional economy, has caused deficits in a number of local governments. Local government
wheels seem to run slow due to spending apparatus that exceeds its fundamental economic resilience. The
authorization function that makes APBD the basis for implementing income and expenditure is now the basis of
deliberately legitimized to be a reference for efforts to legalize corruption in the eyes of the public. The APBD
planning function that should serve as a guide for management in the planning of exchanging activities becomes the
basis for planning the interests of local government, DPRD and political parties. The APBD's oversight function that
guides to assess the activities of local government administration is blurred above the wishes of the regional head and
the local parliament. The function of distribution of income, especially in the effort to improve the welfare of the
community turned into an effort to improve the welfare of local government apparatus. The function of
Instrumentation in creating economic and social justice transfers-a function of justice for local governments. The
function of government administration in the form of services, development and empowerment stagnated in the
interests of the elite. The stimulus function within the framework of economic growth is far from expectations.
Function to accommodate the interests of the community against the interests of the bureaucracy. Finally the function
of political power for the welfare of society weakened into a political force to raise the party.
b.
Procurement of goods and services
There is virtually no gap in corruption that costs as much as the procurement of goods and services, since
most government budgets are used for public spending in various sectors. This is the reason why 85% of local head
corruption vices play in the procurement tender of goods and services. If it is worth noting that even if the value of the
annual contract for procurement of goods and services is very large, the fact that the tender always involves many
players (contractors) that allows for bribery, extortion, or other forms of illegal payments. Bribes became the
dominant mode because illegal payments to win contracts and major concessions in general have become a business
scene for high-ranking officials and contractors. Technically, bribery in the process of procurement of goods and
services is done to get some goals. First, the company or entrepreneur willingly pays to be included in the
prequalification list and limits the bidders. Second, the company is willing to pay to get information about the project
from an insider. Third, illegal payments allow officials to regulate tender specifications so that paying companies will
be the only suppliers who pass prequalification. Fourth, illegal payments are meant to win the contract. In this
connection when the process occurs in a single round, then the consequences that must be accepted is the markup of

prices and decreased quality of goods and services produced. This is why the community as consumers assess the
quality of local government services far from what is expected, including those already paid through taxes. People
feel betrayed by their own choice.
From the results of the ICW study in 2005, it was revealed that the project implementation mechanisms that
grant privileges to one party through direct appointments deemed by top officials are not a serious offense. Whereas it
is strictly prohibited in Presidential Decree Number 80 Year 2003 regarding procurement of goods / services of
government considering the project value above Rp 50 million must be through tender mechanism. From ICW's
findings, there are 43 cases in the region indicated by corruption in the procurement sector of goods and services
using direct appointment mode. In addition to indications of corruption through direct appointment, another common
mode of corruption that often occurs in the procurement process of goods and services is the practice of markup,
extortion, contract irregularities, and fictitious projects. The number of corruption modes occurring in the
procurement sector indicates poor accountability and government transparency and ineffective prevention systems to
minimize corrupt practices. The phenomenon is in the opinion of Loppa (2001: 85), that although officials want to
corrupt, if not greeted by unscrupulous entrepreneurs in the form of bribes or promises to give rewards, corruption
will not be as bad today. Bribes are very dangerous because the bribe recipient will not be obliged to abuse his
authority, so that the wealth and assets of the state are stripped of billions or trillions of rupiah.
Gap of corruption in the procurement process of goods and services can be observed through a number of
stages / procedures in almost all government institutions. Stage starts from needs assessment / needs determination,
preparation of design and preparation of tender documents, selection of participants and determination of tender
winners, and implementation of work. The different stages contain the consequences of different patterns of
corruption between the government and the bidders. First, the needs assessment / needs assessment stage often leads
to a lack of investment and purchase. The tendency that there is an offer from some companies to make a deal even if
the value is small or not beneficial to society. In addition, there is an investment that is economically unfair and
destroys the existing mechanism. On the other hand the risks that occur only benefit some providers. For competition
that is unfair done by the needs of goods and services increased to exceed the limit requirement. For local
governments and DPRD members who pass on the tender logically earn some kind of kickback which is included in
the financial budget (usually through certain contracts with contractors). At a certain level, conflicting parties (conflict
of interests) attract policy makers to influence the bidding process by pressing the tender committee. Secondly, the
preparation phase of the design and preparation of tender documents is done through a strategy whereby a tender
document or guideline is made to benefit one of the contractors, so there can be no competition during the tender.
Another way is to increase or decrease the amount of goods or services needed to benefit some contractors. To break
down the concentration of supervisors, the complexity of the projects in the tender documents and guidance was
deliberately eliminated with the aim of concealing corruption plans. This stage also often involves consultants to
make project planning to benefit some bidders. Finally, local governments seem to be misusing the principle of direct
appointment.Third, the stage of the election of the participants and the determination of the winning bidders involves
the efforts by which policy makers behave unjustly (because of being bribed, expecting a thank you money) or a
conflict of interest. Selection in the region takes place through very subjective criteria to enable policy makers to take
over the role in it. Local government apparatus who want profit often provide confidential information before the
bidding begins to benefit one or more bidders. Of course, similar information is not given to all bidders. Misuse of
confidentiality, including confidential documents, is in reality disseminated to the point that monitoring and
supervision processes are difficult. The only stage that can be said to be fair is the election stage of the tender winner
announced to the public through a certain newspaper. Corruption is also abundant when there is a very expensive
price payment even though not necessarily win. This cost in most cases can not be accounted for. Fourth, the stage of
implementation of the work includes the concrete reality of the process through which the bidders so that the
contractor seemed to replace it with the price of goods lower, quality is less good or different from the approved
contract specifications. As a result the quality of goods and services is far from what is set. Poor job results lead to
improvements that cost more than it should be. Worse, a contractual re-negotiation or substitution of a substantial
contract clause is done by a field supervisor and an executive who has been given sufficient remuneration. In this
connection the price increases due to contract changes as a result of changes in specifications accompanied by
increased costs for bribes to facilitate collusion. In certain cases the procurement of goods and services breeds a
deliberately contrived demand. Worse, supervisors or monitors have either been bought or not independently so they

make incorrect reports or falsify reports that do not fit the actual conditions. Consequently, renegotiation or
substantial alteration of the contracts allowed to make the bidding process futile. On the other hand the impact of
budget swelling at the end of the year opened the gap of corruption in the procurement of goods and services such as
first, urgent shopping at the end of the budget year. Urgent spending at the end of the budget year is often the subject
of corruption. In those days the transaction was not closely watched. In many local government units there are often a
number of budgets that are not deliberately spent until the end of the fiscal year to ultimately serve as the reason for
the apparatus to spend on programs and activities that are not so clear. Second, emergency response periods such as
natural disasters, floods, tsunamis, fires, conflicts and so on. Procurement of goods and services during a disaster is at
risk of corruption. This happens because of the large amount of funds and must be spent quickly to cope with
humanitarian problems. This situation encourages local governments to spend uncontrolled expenses so that
transactions take place without evidence. Lack of access to information makes corruption grow and develop rapidly.
Although local governments are proactive in enforcing public information disclosure laws, weak application allows
them to manipulate information so that perpetrators are not judged by the public (terror by press). Fifth, in general the
tendency to determine certain bidders will risk reducing the fairness level in the procurement process of goods and
services and usually followed by an increase in purchase costs. If the bidder has been established, it is important to
ensure that the process is clean and clear and follows the administrative rules according to the applicable rules. At this
stage the payback starts to be done slowly.
c.
Business Licensing Services
One of the objectives of bureaucratic reform policy to the level of local government is to accelerate services
on the principle of efficiency and effectiveness. The service demands principles of governance such as transparency
and accountability. Bureaucracy reform is aimed not only to reorganize the governance structure as the following
means and the following system, moreover it is necessary to change the culture of government organization in order
to realize fair and fair service. Fair service and fairness ensure the government guarantees the needs of society equally
and proportionately. The peak of the opposite behavior is corrupt behavior that harms the public at large. Barriers to
public services in the form of services that are difficult to access, complicated procedures, unclear costs and the
proliferation of illegal levies are opportunities where corruption exists in answering these obstacles.
The gap of corruption in the licensing service begins when the above inhibiting factors block in the middle of
the road. The entrepreneurs who have the capital understand that the most effective way is to initiate the process of
permission from the top (top down), if not from the bottom (bottom up). The licensing pattern from above is usually
done by utilizing direct policy makers such as the Minister, Governor, Regent / Mayor. Subordinates tend to close
their eyes if given a small quota, or even shut up if you do not want to shift from strategic positions. While the pattern
of licensing from below done if the local government officials have direct access with the head of the region, or in
other words become the accomplice of the regional head. In this pattern the head of the region seemed not directly
related to the businessmen but did not close his eyes to agree through the back door.
Business licensing services open gaps of corruption in the form of bribes since authorities swiftly switched
from central to local government. The trend can be seen in areas that have potential mining and agricultural land. The
price of permits to open a mine site can increase sharply depending on the volume of mining materials in each region.
For the cost of negotiation before making a number of requirements such as the Mining Business License can reach
over five billion. The fee does not include the cost of obtaining permits at the central level. The consequences of a
high cost economy eventually become the burden and complaints of the entrepreneur. Worse in some areas
businessmen complain that the expected permit does not arrive while the cost of maintenance has been absorbed a lot.
This condition worsened the image of local government as well as central government when dealing with outside
investors. In other cases, the entrepreneur may obtain the permit, but in the umpteenth hand, causing problems in the
field. Local governments deliberately often toy with entrepreneurs to maximize profits by issuing multiple business
licenses.
At a later stage, a national business license requires the approval of the central government. Here
entrepreneurs are faced with a bureaucracy that is more vulnerable to corruption. A number of departments that have
implemented e-procure administratively are able to minimize the opening of corruption in which perpetrators are
confronted directly with bureaucrats except through information systems that have been designed in such a way.

However, the implementation of e-procure without strict supervision is in fact still open to the possibility of
corruption, because entrepreneurs and bureaucrats seek a face-to-face gap in an agreed location. Such a mode
ultimately does not support the system tools that have been designed to prevent the opening of the gap of corruption,
due to the culture of society and apparatus that serves not sebangun with the spirit and efforts to prevent corruption.
d. Excesses of Regional Head Elections
The need for voter support in the election resulted in unavoidable excesses. This situation opened the gap of
corruption for the head of the region to raise the funding power from within the bureaucracy, especially the incumbent
candidate. Incumbent candidates tend to utilize a number of tactical funds tucked or deliberately stored in almost all
local government work units a year before the democratic party is held. Indeed, local democracy party that became the
arena of local people's sovereignty channel is not polluted by the tradition of money politics. Concessions are usually
built with local government officials within the framework of promotion, demotion or mutation. Here the
politicization of bureaucracy where local government officials tend to be pragmatic and realistic. The impact of
planning is designed in such a way that incumbents get support in terms of logistics through a number of budget that
made-up or dilebihkan. Gap corruption in the election can be seen from several things such as the determination of
candidates through the boat of political parties, the manipulation of campaign funds and money politics.
The high tariff of political parties became one of the factors driving the absorption of APBD for illegal
interests. For example, each candidate is basically required to fund the election, restore the issued capital, and pay
post-election debt. The mode often used is to involve partners and political networks that contribute to the
procurement of goods and services. The gap of corruption begins with providing social assistance through mobilized
community organizations. Social assistance funds are obtained through a number of previously allocated allocations
to a number of local government units (usually offices / agencies / offices dealing with social issues). Voters are
mobilized into groups of community organizations and given enough money in parcel or envelope with the initials of
certain candidates so that the practice of money politics seems blurred. The target focus is usually the social
organization that has a broad base of mass. In many cases the democratic pattern tends to increase one year before the
election or even afterwards as a form of kickback. In general, the budget politicization cycle (budget budget cycle) is
used to influence voters through social assistance with the aim of increasing sentiments for the victory of certain
couples.
The excesses of regional head election eventually become the burden of APBD. A number of regions must cut
spending on programs and activities including vital sectors such as education and health in the year in which the
elections are held. It must be acknowledged that the budget of the regional head election is mostly allocated to pay the
organizer fee which contains the disparity of value among regions. The high budget of Pemilukada ultimately
influences the APBD posture in every five years of the democratic party year. At the technical stage, efforts to
increase activity activities by the election organizers become a kind of bargaining. This opens opportunities for the
Regional Election Commission and Local Government to take advantage, including the auction process of goods and
services. In some cases, budget clearance leaked from APBN and APBD for the components of honorarium and
administrative expenses affected the high cost of holding the election. In the stage of distribution of funds during the
campaign so far obscured the elite with the term political cost (political cost), not money politics as public suspected.
Such disorientation is quite doubtful when the facts show that the standard of political cost goes beyond the prevailing
provisions making it easy to conclude as a practice of money politics. Such cases are a dilemma for election
supervisory bodies or committees. Here's an example of a compilation of money politics by mode in Keerom District
of Papua Province in the 2010 election.

The table can not be generalized, however, enough to show that the election activity in the above mode is
relatively affecting the regional budget. The mode of distribution of cash, groceries, cheap bazaars and road
improvements is very vulnerable duplicated in the form of programs in a number of local government units. Such
programs are often directly named by incumbent candidates despite the fact that they are financed from APBD. In this
connection the elected regional head is at risk of suffering the consequences after the election is held.

5. Conclusion And Recommendations
5.1 Conclusion
The trend of corruption at the level of local government post-reforms has not only increased with some
indications, but also found a potential loophole in four important channels through the use of less focused regional
budgets (APBD), procurement tendering processes, business licensing services and the excesses of local elections that
encourage negative relations between incumbents with bureaucrats, employers and communities. These four gaps
appear to be potential through various indications that are difficult to overcome. Control of gaps in corruption in the
region needs to be done through a consistent redesign of the system and law enforcement as indicated by anticorruption institutions such as Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi (KPK).
5.2 Recommendations
Preventive and Repressive Control against Potential Trends of Corruption at Local Government Level can be
done through;
1. Strong system changes in APBD management to limit gaps in corruption in budget usage. Concrete
system changes in the form of application of information technology and e-procurement so that the use of
APBD can be accessed directly by the community, in addition to licensing process and procurement
tender of goods and services can be transparent. System changes also concern the indirect election
mechanism by Parliament to reduce the burden and excesses of direct election against APBD posture. At
the implementation level the legal framework should be comprehensive, apply the principles of
transparency, accommodate clear rules and limit excessive discretion. With the authority of existing local
governments through local regulations should be able to build a system of procurement of goods and
services that are transparent and accountable. In addition, it is necessary to prepare a standard operation
procedure (SOP) that aims to simplify, not complicate in all SKPD to prevent obstacles that open the gap
of corruption in the context of business licensing services.
2. Supervision that is qualitative by internal, external, functional, political and community supervisors to
minimize the opening of corruption loopholes in local government.
3. Strengthening human resource management and improving the welfare of the apparatus in order to
minimize the impetus to the control of the sources of government environment.
4. The need for sanctions for local governments in making strategic planning and performance
accountability reports of government agencies.
5. Improving the quality of implementation of management system and the application of measurable and
non-multistake budgetary standards in order to avoid the gap for the apparatus in interpretation and
improvisation by reason of price disparity in each local government. On the procurement activities of
goods and services required an auction committee that is independent of the community so that its
membership is not solely dominated by local government. Commissioner committees can make
complaints procedures for bidders to uphold the rules of the game, supervision and evaluation while
applying the principles of good governance.

In the long run it takes political education to the voters so that they will not become a pragmatic object in
the election but have a bargaining position against the candidates.
Repressive action is required through the imposition of strict sanctions, both administrative and legal for
companies / entrepreneurs government officials and communities who commit fraudulent use of APBD,
procurement of goods and services, business licensing services and election. Those who are legally and
legally proven must be reduced, eliminated, substituted, disqualified and executed to produce deterrent
effects for the community. Such action can be done directly for matters concerning the use of facilities
and the budget of the agencies for the interests of the election, the implementation of standard budget
election budget, closed the room for the incumbent who want to re-nominate head of region if proven to
conduct corruption. Law enforcement on corruption cases within the local government can be done by
raising tensions as practiced by Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi. Without it, corruption at the center may
be reduced, but in the regions it is mushrooming.

Abstrack
Indonesian society still assumes that a disaster will affect whole destructions and therefore recovery and development
are needed in order to gain a normal situation. Merely a few who think that tourism services should be flourished in
post-disaster, even tourism in post-disaster can be an alternative visit for tourists. It can be denied that most
Indonesian tourism destinations particularly nature-based tourisms have high disaster risks and, thus, it is needed to
be governed professionally based on network governance. By using a descriptive account, this paper demonstrates
that a tourism recovery effort by applying network governance is more effective than other techniques to encourage
sustainable tourisms. Focusing on the “Sleman Bangkit” Movement at Volcano Tour Merapi in Sleman Regency, the
paper’s result postulates that the movement based on networks among stakeholders could supports the tourism
recovery with the cooperative transformation. The transformation is indeed suitable with the emergency response
phase in the disaster management. To sum up, the paper recommends re-designing a recovery effort in post-disaster
by involving most core stakeholders. It is related to coordinative managements toward cooperation in each
stakeholder. This will bring to the acceleration of tourism management in post-disaster. In addition, it is a must to
provide a role for a core stakeholder to collaborate with various other stakeholders in order to maintain a synergy in
the tourism management in post-disaster.
Key words: network governance, sustainable tourism development
Introduction
Tourism sectors are potential in dealing with disaster affairs because the disaster affects to environment and
social destructions so that tourism activities are disrupted. To restore the image of a safe tourism in post-disaster it is
needed to do a comprehensive effort among stakeholders having a concern on tourism affairs. Stakeholders consisting
government, private sectors and society should have a recovery program on a sustainable tourism because after
disaster, a place has new tourism objects and attractions (ODTW) which is interesting to be visited.

A lot of natural disasters in Indonesia affect new ODTWs for tourists to visit them. The volcanic eruption
disaster usually affects new ODTWs which should be maintained its sustainability. The Volcano Park in Sinabung
Mountain and Volcano Tour in the downhill of Merapi Mountain are an instance of ODTW in post-Merapi eruption
so that those two ODTWs should be flourished their sustainability. The sustainable tourism development juridically is
written in Law No. 10 Year 2009 on Tourism and in Government Regulation No. 50 Year 2011 on Master Plan for
National Tourism Development. In these two regulations, the national tourism development should be done 1) with
the principle a sustainable tourism development, 2) with a goal on the growth of an economic development and job
opportunities, poverty reduction as well as environmental conservation, 3) with good governance, 4) with integrated
cross-sector, cross-regional and cross-agencies, and 5) with supporting partnership among public and private sectors.
From these provisions it implies that tourism development should pay attention to the principle of sustainable tourism
and implemented by applying good governance rules that involve not only government but also private and
community groups. In the context of local governance, tourism affairs is not a matter of business mandatory but
optional affairs, but the contribution given to the economic progress in a region is crucial. As stated by Damanik
(2005), tourism activities always provide a multiplier effect for the growth of other productive economic activities,
besides tourism can also create new jobs and can cope with poverty. As a result furthermore tourism can prosper the
life of people in the region (Damanik 2010). Public participation and the public in supporting tourism activities can
not be avoided, because in general the government has limitations in providing public good and services that must be
assisted by the private sector, including in the provision of tourism services. Likewise, people around ODTW who
receive direct impact from tourism activities, can not be ignored its role as a tourist in the provision of tourist
attractions.
The involvement of the three stakeholders in fact often leads to various problems which in essence there is no
balanced role among the three. Research from Nuryanti (2002: 12) shows that the need for cooperation related to the
existence of problems in sustainable tourism development there is a role conflict between the public and private
sectors. In order to find harmony between them, there is a need for a meeting point between the public and private
sector roles through the assessment of the role of each sector and the possibility of synergicity.Problematika proposed
by Nuryanti (2002) is of course raises new thinking to develop the concept or model applicative in order to complete
the problem. In general, the problem of imbalances in the role occurs because among stakeholders lack of strong
networking established so that differences in perception in authority become part of the problematika. In the study of
Government Science, one solution to solve the problem is the need to develop ODTW governance with
networkgovernance.
The implementation of modelnetwork governance in the management of ODTW in Indonesia is familiar.
Sleman District as one of the autonomous regions has been practicing the model in various ODTW. The interaction
between the government, the private sector and the community is still coordinated and there is no interdependent
network among stakeholders. Most of the activities of the Department of Tourism as the organizer of tourism affairs
are still not collaborative. Sleman District Government as principal will seek partners to work on its programs and

partners as agents who will carry out the work or program. Sleman District Government as owner of employment and
partner or non-government institution as vendor or contractor. From the results of field observations indicate that
among stakeholders has not yet permanently established a strong network for collaborative collaborative cooperation.
The outstanding issues of the existing collaboration include the lack of full resource dependency among
stakeholders, many of whom are still operating independently. Besides, the interaction is limited to coordination, there
has not been any negotiation on the collective objectives that are regulated institutionally. Similarly, interests among
stakeholders are still diverse, yet there is a mutually reinforcing shared interest of the collaborative effort. From these
backgrounds, there are some things that need to be discussed and questioned, among others: How stakeholder
involvement in sustainable tourism development? How is the relationship pattern among stakeholders in network
governance, and How is the transformation taking place in network governance within the framework of collaborative
governance?
Methods
To answer the problems presented in the introduction, it is necessary to conduct research using qualitative
approach with field research method. This is because it is in direct contact with the social phenomena studied and
does not use statistical techniques. This study also uses a case study study that collects data using in-depth interviews
and documentation. While the selection of informants is done purposively in accordance with the relevance of this
research, and data analysis is done by data reduction, data presentation, and drawing the conclusion / ferification
which is then poured in the form of description.
Theoritical Framework
1. Sustainable Tourism Development
The concept of "sustainable development" has emerged as an approach related to current issues. Most
scholars of public administration believe that sustainable development is capable of dealing with diverse and complex
contemporary issues (Kim, 2010). The term "sustainable development" emerged in 1972 and at that time focused only
on environmental improvement, because by then the world has faced environmental degradation for several decades,
and environmental issues have become a major concern for the world community. This concept remains relevant
today, environmental damage and disasters occur in various countries including Indonesia.
Tourism can not be separated from this sustainable development approach. A study conducted in North
Cyprus by Alipour et al (2011) after being published in the Journal of Sustainable Development entitled "Governance
as Catalyst to Sustainable Tourism Development: Evidence from North Cyprus" led to the conclusion that sustainable
tourism development can not be effectively implemented if the agency does not restructuring organizational behavior
in the form of formal policy process to enhance close cooperation with stakeholders (tourism industry and society).
The findings show that the majority of people recognize the importance of sustainability, but they can not

understand how it works. They do not express enthusiasm about their own reorientation and planning approach
towards the goal to be achieved. Community involvement is one of the important dimensions in achieving sustainable
tourism development. In the case of Northern Cyprus, the majority of respondents stressed that there should be a
commitment to community participation but they have not been able to involve the community in governance
processes that are perceived as dynamic aspects. Many literatures show that the application of sustainable
development principles requires a political system that encourages effective public engagement, building consensus
and good governance (Kim, 2010). The consensus that occurs between the pillars of governance as the main basis for
synergic cooperation.
2. Collaborative governance
With regard to the concept of governance that has been so trusted as a solution to the problems of society and
government, as a new process of governing the public sphere, there are two different points of view that one assumes
that "Government without government" (Rhodes 1996: 652) and "Government with more than government" (Kjaer,
2004: 44). From both poles of the view, the middle concept is called collaborative governance (governative
governance) as a system of governance. Ansell and Gash (2008) pioneered the belief that this new form of
government could help stakeholders to integrate interests in sustainable development and reach agreement in pursuit
of common goals.
More specifically, the demand for collaborative governance has increased with the increasing knowledge of
the
community
and
the
intense
interdependence
of
stakeholders.
About the benefits of collaboration, Lasker et al. (2001) states that cooperation can create a comprehensive, practical
and transformative thinking. In particular, transformative thinking is very important, in collaboration that can make
people change the way they think when they interact with other stakeholders who have different goals and cultures.
Through the creation of new ways of thinking, collaboration can influence how problems are recognized and
addressed. In the organization of thought it must be realized in the same vision.
According to Wanna (2008: 3-5) to realize the collaboration of the necessary stages that show the scale and
intensity of the collaboration tersebut.Skala collaboration can be described as a ladder that shows the increased
commitment from the lowest level of simple collaboration to the highest and most complicated level integrated. The
highest level of collaboration poses political and managerial risks that have come into common consensus, whereas
partnerships will not pose political or managerial risk. In table 1 we can see the increase of intensity, the following list
of levels of cooperation relevant to the policy process and indicate what activities are involved in each of the various
levels. Learn more see the following table:

From the table it can be seen that the intensity of collaboration is shown by the scale from the lowest (lowest
level) to the highest (highest level). The lowest scale has low political and managerial risk with marginal
operationalization, so the activity that occurs is incremental in the form of consultation process, discussion to get
input and get information, and among the collaboration is still formulate the idea and hope to reach the picture of the
future together. While the highest scale has a high political and managerial risks as well until it leads to a normative
commitment, so that the activities carried out already lead to the interaction that has been transformative and leads to

substantive empowerment. The form of activities undertaken has already formed a coalition between government and
non-government actors based on the principles of cooperation and consensus.
The concept proposed by Wanna is further clarified by Shergold (2008: 13-22) that collaborative governance is a
transformative process. The process of transformation ranging from a command relationship to a relationship that is
characterized by collaborative. More can be seen in the following table:
Tabel 2. The transformation of process
Command
The process of centralized control - with clear lines of
hierarchical authority.
Coordination
The process of collective decision making – imposed on
participating institutions.
Cooperation
The process of sharing ideas and resources – for mutual
benefit
Collaboration
The process of shared creation – brokered between
autonomous institutions
Source: Shergold, 2008:20
From the table it can be seen that initially the collaboration between the government and other stakeholders is
command, which at this stage is still a hierarchy and a strong control of the government, stakeholders are not involved
in decision making. In the next stage is coordination, where between the government and other stakeholders have
occurred collective decision-making process. Then from a collective relationship it increases into a cooperative
relationship, where in this cooperative relationship there has been sharing (sharing) ideas and resources to obtain
mutual benefits. And finally in the final stage of the relationship is collaborative, in this final stage there has been a
relationship until the stage of sharing creation (realized creation) is embodied in the form of institutions that are
permanent and autonomous.
3. Netwok Governance
The network has been widely recognized both by academia and practitioners as an important form of multiorganizational governance. The advantages of networking involve considerable public, private and community sector
coordination, including increased learning, more efficient use of resources, increased capacity to plan and deal with

complex issues, greater competitiveness, and better service for clients and customers ( Provan, 2007: 229). With
networking functions, we can refer to a process by which networks can lead to increased results. Understanding
networking functions is very important because it can only be better understood why networks get certain results,
regardless of whether the network comes from a bottom-up or product process of strategic decisions made by network
participants or government officials.
The network focuses on groups of three or more autonomous organizations legally working together to
achieve not only their own goals but also collective goals. These networks can be done by members of their own
network, or may be mandated or contracted, as is often the case in the public sector. When defined in this way, as
multilateral collectivity, networks can be very complex entities that require explanations that go beyond the
dialectical approaches that have traditionally been discussed in organizational theory and strategic management
literature. The emphasis on this notion is that networks are activities that are "directed toward the goal," as opposed
to "accidental". Although directed at networking objectives are less frequent, they have become very important as
formal mechanisms to lead to multi-organizational outcomes, especially in the public and nonprofit sectors where
collective action is often necessary to solve problems (Agranoff & McGuire 2003; Imperial 2005).
The main characteristics of the network in the context of governance according to Martinez (2011: 5-6)
include: 1) The dependence of actors, instantiate the broader governance of governement, governance involves nonstate actors that change the boundaries of the state which also means the change of boundaries between the public,
private and public sectors. The actors in the Governance Network are interdependent on their resources and capacities,
but can operate independently. The interdependence of actors does not mean that power is equally among actors, 2)
The necessity of exchanging organizational resources is the principal motor of interaction between actors. Networks
created by organizations that want and need to exchange resources (eg money, information and expertise) to achieve
their goals and to avoid being dependent on other actors 3) Interactions between actors participating in the network
often take the form of negotiating common goals and explained the rules of the game such as interaction based on
trust and governed by the rules of negotiation agreed by the perpetrators of the network. Bargaining process in the
form of deliberations to learn to facilitate together, mutual understanding and trust, 4) Networking on Governance has
a wide degree of autonomy and is not accountable directly to the state because they organize themselves and manage
themselves. This means that networks can make their own decisions based on their own rules. Political institutions
within the scope of the network structure define the purpose of networking, providing the legal and financial
framework, but they can not rule over each other. Although the role of the state is not strong in the network but can
direct the network indirectly, 5) The network of Governance contributes to the production of the public interest,
among others, set the vision, values, plans, policies, rules and actions, 6) Relative framework institutionalized by the
network Governance is an institutional interaction of actors and built with interaction patterns that guide future
network interactions, and 7) The diversity of actors is one of the core networks of Governance. Actors, whether
government or private, are very dependent on existing interests, there are times when not all network actors have the
same interests.

Networking in the context of governance is, of course, a further process of participation that has grown among
the three pillars of governance. Participation that has reached the power of citizen will lead to the establishment of a
strong network. Networking in tourism management emphasizes more on the relationship between government,
private and community based on interdependence. At this stage of networking among actors still consider tourism
management as a common affair, not yet to the distribution of power.
To build a network there must be an initiative effort from one of the stakeholders that has a very strong
interest. Initiatives arise can be in the form of tasks that have been charged or also because it is rationally the
stakeholders are not able to do the work independently. Once there is an initiative and mutually agreed upon, there
needs to be a continuous process to maintain the continuity of the network in order to be upgraded into a partnership
that has a long period of time and in the form of established cooperation.
Result and Analysis
The results of this study concerning the involvement of stakeholders in collaboration, especially in
establishing networks among them consisting of local governments in this case is the Department of Culture and
Tourism, the private sector and community groups. The form of the network can be either local or national or
international program or event which all emphasize on the recovery of tourism image in Sleman regency.
1. Initiation In Networking
Although the existing tourism affairs in Sleman District implemented by the Department of Culture and
Tourism but in initiating networking is not only done by Disbudpar itself, involvement of private and community
colleges in conveying ideas or ideas for networking is quite prominent.
For activities that are local, initiation for networking begins by Dinas Budapar with reference to RPJMD and
Renstra SKPD. Given that the activities in order to restore tourism in the slopes of Merapi has not been included in
the RPJMD and SKPD Renstra then through the Decree of the Regent established a Rehabilitation and Reconstruction
team to restore post-eruption of Merapi which in its implementation involves the Regional Disaster Management
Agency (BPBD) Sleman. In the local government itself the network is done between SKPD, Disbudpar as SKPD
which serves to organize tourism affairs to network with other SKPD to manage disaster-tourism. SKPD is the most
intensive networking is BPBD because in accordance with the main tasks and functions of BPBD is doing post
disaster recovery.
In addition to the local government's own organs, networking is also done with the private sector through the
Association of Indonesian Travel Company (Asita) Chapter Yogyakarta. In accordance with the statement of Edwin
Ismedi Himna as chairman of Asita following:
We from Asita and the provincial government of DIY are still studying the proposal about "volcano tour" or
lava tour. Currently we are still coordinating with the district government of Sleman and surrounding areas to
be able to sell tour packages that are the demand of many of these parties. Tour package that will later be part

of the tour package "Go Jogja" which aims as a process of recovery of Yogyakarta's tourism image after the
eruption of Mount Merapi some time ago that had made tourism in Yogyakarta and its surrounding slumped.
We are reviewing the place for a safe volcano tour to be one of the new destinations, what will be in Pakem,
Kaliadem, or Cangkringan, that we are still looking for. The most important thing, the implementation of the
tour package must wait for the status of Mount Merapi maintained at a safe level for the safety of tourism.
Perhaps the description of the form of the tour, a kind of soft tracking about 4-5 kilometers in the areas around
Mount Merapi which passed by the flow of the former eruption.
Asita initial statement from this it was already followed up with various travel packages on the volcano tour
Merapi. One of the travel agents who have offered this package is the party of Java Mandiri Tour. Meanwhile,
Secretary General of Tourism Destination Development Ministry of Culture and Tourism Winarno Sudjas stated:
Welcomes the proposal and is ready to train local tour guides from Karang Taruna in Yogyakarta area to be
trained and educated as a vulcano tour guide. According to him, the discourse is very potential to become a
new attraction to bring in special interest tourists as well as a pioneering effort to restore Yogyakarta tourism
post-eruption of Merapi. With the development of this tour, the souvenir kiosks, lodging and tourist support
facilities will start to stretch so that the real sector in Yogyakarta will soon recover. To start the plan there
must be commitment from all sectors including tourism actors around Merapi. After all the new ready we will
go in and prepare the training.
Initiation to network is based on the need for immediate recovery of tourism after the eruption of Merapi. To
respond to this Disbudpar and BPBD Sleman took the initiative to conduct a meeting to discuss about how to create
an image for tourism in Sleman District still continues despite the disaster erupsi. From the initial meeting and
followed up with the next meeting then it can be formulated a big event titled "Sleman Bangkit".
In the event Sleman Bangkit is displayed various attractions and exhibitions associated with tourism potential
in Sleman district in particular and DIY in general. By relying on the support of various parties in the form of
concerns spontaneously then Disbudpar trying to package various events or tourism programs involving various
components of society in the form of networking. From the statement of activities (terms of reference) that have been
successfully formulated and become a common reference, it can be seen that the main spirit is to network as much as
possible for the success of the event. This is because the budget of the official itself is still limited.
1. Network Implementation
Activities that show the real occurrence of network involving various stakeholders in the local level in
the form of a movement called "Sleman Bangkit". This program is organized in order to boost return tourist visit
in Sleman which had decreased as the impact of eruption of Mount Merapi. Program initiated by the
Department of Culture and Tourism is packed with displays of some tourist attractions and typical culture in

An effort to rebuild the image of tourism in Sleman safe, besides Disbudpar itself as an initiator also there are
colleges who participated and participated. This is done by UIN Sunan Kalijaga in the form of a national seminar.
UIN Sunan Kalijaga is trying to build a network for the return of tourism image after the eruption of Merapi eruption
on a national scale. The national seminar organized by UIN Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta entitled "The Role of Media
And Recovery of Post-Disaster Tourism Image". This activity was held on December 15, 2010 approximately 2 (two)
months ago from the eruption of Merapi. In this activity involving various circles, especially media practitioners and
public relations from government agencies both central and local (http://uin-suka.ac.id/page/berita/detail/304/ peranmedia-dan-pemulihan-citra-pariwisata-pascadisaster).
Many seminar materials related to the role of media to be more able to give or form an opinion in the
community that Yogyakarta in a conducive atmosphere to be a tourist destination. The image that will be built is
Yogyakarta safe to visit and there is also thought to lift the theme of disaster in terms of exoticism of Mount Merapi
that has been spouting lava and become a unique thing to be a tourist destination. The ideas that were initiated at the
seminar in the present have become a reality. This is as stated by the Chairman of the Committee of the following
seminars:
Initially we initiated to hold a national seminar on the role of the media in the recovery of the image of
tourism is based on a simple thought that is how the role of media to be more significant in providing a
positive image of Merapi eruption disaster. We are years that after the eruption disaster tourist visit to
Yogyakarta is decreasing, it's a matter of image just here is also actually safe. In fact we also have more desire
than this seminar in order to generate a thought to "sell" or give a positive image about the exoticism of
Merapi eruption. Likewise, philanthropic tours can also be initiated to provide assistance to victims of natural
disasters. But at least the image of Yogyakarta is not safe we can tepis. Right after that in 2011 until now we
can see for yourself many tourists who are curious about the impact of the eruption so pengin prove
themselves like what the greatness of Merapi, even now have a lot of sales package "volcano tour" Merapi
(Interview, November 18, 2014).

In this activity triggered the determination to be more echoed at the international level and of course this can
not be held independently. In connection with the agenda of the international conference of the city of volcano then
by coordinating with UGM and Central Government it can be agreed to propose that the conference can be held in
Yogyakarta.
This international activity, although the initiative does not come from Disbudpar Sleman, but the impact of study and
visit involves many of Sleman Regency. The volcano conference activity which is the main organizer is the UGM
campus located in Sleman Regency. Sleman as host in the "City of Volcano" activity on September 9-13, 2014.
As stated by the Head of Geological Agency of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources Dr. Surono
after facing the Governor of Yogyakarta Sri Sultan Hamengkubowono X who was accompanied by UGM Rector
Pratikno as follows:
A total of 48 countries said it was ready to send delegates to the international conference on City on Volcano
in Yogyakarta, September 9-13, 2014. The conference of volcano experts will discuss how people can live in
harmony in areas that have volcanoes. In Indonesia there are 4 million people living in volcano-prone areas.
This year's City of Volcano conference is the eighth. Indonesia deliberately bid itself as host this year after
previously making a proposal entitled "Living Harmony with Volcano". Mount Merapi has been originally
proffered as the main object. Scientifically, volcanoes became a field of study and research. But the
application of science into people's lives around the volcano becomes much more important. This conference
bridges science with society. Indonesia is listed as the country with the most volcanoes in the world, which is
127 mountains. Even with its population density. When the eruption of Merapi in 2010, for example, the
number of evacuees about 1 million people. Compare with the volcanic eruption in Japan three years ago that
there were only 90 refugees. (http://tekno.tempo.co/read/news/ 2014/09/05/ 061604791/do-state-follow-cityon-volcano-in-yogya).
The international event on the disaster of this kegunungapian on Tuesday 9 September 2014 was officially
opened in Graha Sabha Pramana UGM campus. The activity entitled Cities on Volcanoes 8 (CoV 8) was held until 13
September 2014. This activity is a strategic step to communicate, exchange ideas and formulate various things
including the mitigation of volcanic disaster.As on the basis of data collected, there are at least 487 participants comes
from 38 countries around the world who participated in activities organized by the Geological Agency - Ministry of
ESDM, Local Government of Yogyakarta, Sleman and UGM regency. They are participants from backgrounds of
disaster practitioners, volunteers, government, community leaders, and geologists who are members of the
International Association of Vulcanology and Chemistry of the Earth's Interior (IAVCEI).
Yogyakarta Governor Sri Sultan HB X in his speech reveals that the geographical location of DIY adjacent to
Mount Merapi need the thought of the need to live in harmony with nature, especially Mount Merapi. Besides, it is
also explained about the glimpse of Merapi eruption that occurred in 2010 ago. Especially explanation of how the
people of Yogyakarta can rise up and together to create a pattern of disaster mitigation to minimize the victim in the
eruption next period. Merapi eruption in 2010, provides a valuable lesson for the people of Yogyakarta about how to
live in harmony with nature. Meanwhile, the Regent of Sleman, Sri Purnomo gave an explanation of how the

government's efforts in establishing communication with the whole community including elements of volunteer.
That's what he thinks is the key to success in disaster mitigation. "This communication is created through cooperation
with domestic institutions, especially with the government at the local level and with non-governmental
organizations," said Sri Purnomo in his speech.
All the networking activities it shows that there has been a collaborative relationship among actors of
governance. Because the activity is always a relationship that is sharing ideas or resources available. The sharing of
ideas is indicated by the determination of the theme of the seminar and how to implement it, while the sharing of
resources concerns the funds and facilities devoted to the success and implementation of all activities that are
characterized by networks. This is explicitly stated by the Head of Budpar Sleman Service as follows:
Disbudpar is open to receive input from various parties in order to develop the tourism sector in Sleman
regency. Disbudpar parties are also ready to provide facilitation in order to build synergies between tourism
service business actors. With the hope of management and development of the future tourism can be better.
The expansion of network among tourism actors is our asset to further drive tourism in Sleman. Obviously we
from the service will not be working alone, especially in this current era should be established a synergistic
relationship between the actors of tourism. (Source: http: //www.slemankab.go.id/959/private-shopjasapariwisata-siap-layani-wisatawan.slm)
From various events organized both by Disbudpar and universities, the involvement of private parties
provides more support in the form of sponsorship activities. Some travel agencies and tourism associations either
directly or indirectly provide some funds for tourism promotion activities, it is proposed by Dadang from Java
Mandiri Travel who often make tour packages in Yogyakarta, so penuturannya:
At every event related to the return of tourism image in Sleman Regency after eruption, we always participate.
Some activities that are titled Sleman rise and activities in the form of our seminars also helped him, etungetung also for the promotion of our company. Indeed our contribution is not large but as a form of commitment
and we also often organize tour packages in Sleman yes we natively support. Usually we support for the
completeness of the seminar. And at the volcano conference held last September, alhamdulillah we can get a lot
of tourists especially from abroad and some of them need to get scouting. (Interview, December 15, 2014.
2. Networking Sustainability
Some activities based on networking principles are not entirely local government activities, either in initiation
or in implementation. However, activities that rely on this network can help make disaster-recovery tourism. After the
evaluation of some events then the Disbudpar as SKPD in charge of tourism provides a conclusion that the need for
institutionalization or continuous efforts so that the recovery efforts become planned and involving stakeholders
permanently. Attempts to network are more spontaneous and have no longer forward range. Stakeholder involved is a
manifestation of concern only is not a duty of the stakeholder. Activities in the form of exhibitions, arts, competitions

and seminars can not be categorized activities that have a wide range of future, but efforts to provide service facilities
on volcano tour Merapi could be an alternative sustainability.
As stated by the Head of Budpar Office which suggested as a result of the evaluation of the recovery of
disaster-tourism image in Sleman District as follows:
Some events or events we have held both on our initiative and the community's own components that have the
initiative as a form of concern for the slump of tourism after the eruption of Mount Merapi Eruption. From the
results of a comprehensive evaluation involving all levels in this office can be drawn the conclusion of the
need for continuity of activities that initially only a recovery. Need institutional or cooperation that is longterm, because according to the Geological Agency and apbila we look at, Mount Merapi is always going to
erupt. Periodization time is not certain, but lately it's 5 years. If we have prepared early on it will not be
confused if there is a disaster, let his tourism is still running so. Well if we now encourage the private sector
and the public to engage in volcano tour which is the new ODTW emerged after the eruption of Merapi
(Interview, November 15th, 2014).
The sustainability of disaster-tourism is focused on the volcano tour of Merapi, where ODTW has established
an organization or rather a community group to manage a growing tourist business as a community initiative. From
the evaluation submitted by the head of the agency, the community tries to initiate NGO-assisted efforts to create a
business that not only strengthens the network but also partnerships that can protect the risk in the event of an
accident or disaster.
From the exposure can be identified the involvement of each stakeholder in networking as
follows:

sharing ideas and resources to gain mutual benefits. Disbudpar as the main actor in the network shows the limitations
in carrying out all its activities must be related to the community, community groups and universities become the
main support in this network. Relationship with the private sector in the form of sponsorship of such activities.
The pattern of relationships that occur between the three pillars of governance can be described as follows:

Figure 5. Collaboration Patterns in the Network
From the identification of the involvement of the three stakeholders, it can be explained that the most
dominant in network implementation is the private sector. Private parties do promotion and simultaneously implement
various image recovery programs that include various types of exhibition activities. Communities are more passive
and supportive only as implementation assistance.
4. Transformation of Network Governance
The benefits of networking for the public, private and community sectors are enormous, including
improvements in learning, more efficient use of resources, capacity building to plan and deal with complex issues
(Provan, 2007) through collective action (Agranoff & McGuire, 2003).
Collaboration that is established among stakeholders in the network is related to initiation in networking,
implementation of networking activities, and sustainability of the network. In accordance with the results of research
findings that the activities in networking is based on the need for immediate recovery after the eruption of Merapi. At
the initiative of local government by involving various parties, then held event "Sleman Bangkit" as a form of image
building that Sleman already in safe condition and worth to be visited by tourists back. Initiation to hold the event

starts from a common concern over the deterioration of Merapi residents in the face of the impact of eruption.
Through various meetings, it was agreed to the need for various activities to be conducted including joint exercises,
photo exhibitions, tosan aji, and various performances of traditional Javanese arts attractions, as well as international
volcanic conferences (city volcano).
In planning the "Sleman Bangkit" activity involves various parties requiring collaboration between
government, private and community. Collaboration that exists in the planning activities in the form of exchanging
ideas or ideas about the format of the event to be held. In this activity the government as the party responsible for the
activities convey the idea which then responded by the private sector and society. The idea presented by the
government is to immediately build a good image for tourism in Sleman so that tourism life can be restored as before.
In the planning activities it has been agreed that the private sector will become a sponsor and the community will
mobilize all activities and performances that are mass.
Especially for international conference activities supported by many universities as the drafter. At the
international conference activities are set to bring participants from various countries and this is a good opportunity to
explain that the volcano is not harmful to tourism. This college-led co-ordination gained full support from the
government. The government acts as a facilitator at field visits and simultaneously hosts the ODTWs visited by
participants.
Implementation of network activities requires resources that are not small, the government is unable to
finance all the activities that have been set. Government funds are set as stimulants and assisted larger by sponsors.
From the results of research findings indicate that most of the activities "Sleman Bangkit" much financed by the
sponsor. Activities that do not require large costs are borne by the government but activities that are permanent and
long as the traditional arts stage involves many sponsors. Likewise in the implementation of international conferences
many of the participants contributed at the same time including the cost of visits to volcano Merapi tour.
The relationship between the government and the private sector resulted in the provision of resources in the
form of funds and equipment for the success of the program. While the relationship between the government and the
community is more on the mobilization of human resources to support the Sleman Bangkit program. The
transformative relationship that has been established between the government and the private sector and the
community is cooperative, it can be shown that among the stakeholders has happened to exchange ideas and ideas
along with the resources they have respectively.
The sustainability of the "Sleman Bangkit" program for tourism stakeholders is a hope that must be realized.
By seeing the success of the event stakeholders have a desire to institutionalize the program. There is a thought to
create a special agency that is tasked to do the planning and as well as a permanent institution that takes care of
various tourist events in the area of volcano tour Merapi. The present condition has been formed by the Management
Team but still has limited authority. The Managing Team is only in charge of handling fees related to admission

The "Sleman Bangkit" program, which is network-based, can be done well and requires more structured and

permanent sustainability. This is because the eruption of Merapi eruption is predicted to always come periodically so
it is necessary to consider the existence of permanent institutions that also manage the risks it creates.
From the exposure in consultation with the concept that has been put forward in front of the network is done
as a recovery effort so that tourism is not too big affected by the disaster is the right choice. As stated by Martinez
(2011) that networking in the context of governance involves autonomous non-governmental actors but has a common
interest in a program or activity that should be the government's duty. The network built on the "Sleman Bangkit"
program embodies dependency among governance actors and the need for organizational resources exchange in the
form of funds, human resources and regulations supporting the program. The interaction between the government and
the sponsor and the supporters of the event takes the form of negotiation according to common goals and is explained
by the rules of the game for the smooth running of the program. The diversity of stakeholders is at the core of the
network, they are bound by the same interest that is to contribute to the management of the public interest.
The results of the analysis in consultation with the concept of Martinez (2011) resulted in a transformation
process that is cooperative. Where the trasformation is the most prominent visible is the occurrence of sharing ideas
and resources for the public interest. More can be seen in the following figure:

Conclusion and Recommendation
From the exposure can be concluded that the efforts of tourism recovery by using network governance more
effective to support tourism in a sustainable manner. The study, which focuses on the "Sleman Bangkit" movement,
has resulted in the finding that movement based on networking among stakeholders can support tourism recovery with
a cooperative transformation pattern. This cooperative transformation is in accordance with the emergency response
phase of disaster management.
The recommendations that need to be done from the results of this study include the need for a fundamental
change in post-disaster recovery efforts by involving most of the primary stakeholders. Changes concerning

coordinated management towards cooperation for each stakeholder. This change of role will lead to acceleration in
post-disaster tourism management in a sustainable manner. It is also necessary to give the primary stakeholders a role
to collaborate with various stakeholders in order to create synergy in the management of tourism after the disaster.

Abstract
This study is about to conduct a critical reading on the development of democratization in Indonesia in the digital
age. The Indonesian Solidarity Party is one of the parties who are aware and strives to respond to the 'digitalization
of society' by building their party in a "friendly" way to the latest developments at the society level. The party is trying
to position itself as a corrective effort against the old political party form which is considered elitist and not populist.
Thus, it offers populist ideas to capture this 'digital' mass. Like the classical idea of populism which emphasizes the
importance of making new connections that are not mediated with the people, the Indonesian Solidarity Party takes
this spirit by using social media as a way of getting closer to the people. The virtual space becomes the arena between
party and society in building more intense and dialogical communication, whereby parties can convey their various
vision missions including introducing their members to the public, on the other hand the society can quickly respond
to the "call for dialogue" from the party through the medium of virtual space social media allows two-way
communication. If it is linked with the idea of deepening democracy, then the Solidarity Party populism project is
expected to be a breakthrough to minimize the bad image of political parties in the eyes of the society.

Exordium: Memahami PSI sebagi Terobosan dalam Upaya Meningkatkan Mutu Demokrasi di Indonesia
Artikel ini memiliki misi untuk menunjukkan bahwasanya eksistensi PSI sebagai sebuah partai politik baru
dapat dipandang sebagai sebuah strategi baru untuk mendorong deepening demokrasi di Indonesia. Pertanyaannya
bagaimana bisa keberadaan sebuah partai baru ini bisa mendorong perbaikan kondisi demokrasi di Indoensia?
Bukankah banyak partai-partai baru yang juga muncul selain PSI? Apa keistimewaan partai ini sehingga ilmuwan
politik harus menaruh perhatian yang lebih padanya?
Untuk memahami duduk perkaranya, kita harus beranjak untuk mencermati kondisi demokratisasi Indonesia
saat ini. Dapat dikatakan pasca tumbangnya Orde Baru, instalasi institusi demokrasi berlangsung beitu masif di bumi
Indonesia. Partai politik yang sebelumnya dibatasi kini muncul bak cendawan di musim penghujan. Begitu pula
dengan penyelenggaraan pemilu, kini dapat dilaksankan secara reguler tanpa bayang-bayang intervensi negara
sebagaimana dahulu.
Bahkan dalam hal penyelenggaraan pemilu ini, kini telah meluas hingga menjangkau tingkat lokal.
Kebebasan sipil dan politik yang sebelumnya dipasung di masa Orde Baru juga relatif lebih bebas di era Reformasi.

Pers tidak lagi ketakutan akan dibredel, penyuaraan pendapat di berbagai forum publik juga lebih bebas. Kira-kira
runtuhnya Orde Baru ditandai dengan optimisme akan tumbuh dan berkembangnya demokrasi secara mulus.
Di kalangan akademisi sendiri muncul kelompok yang memegang asumsi “super” optimis (disebut juga
kalangan liberal), dimana bagi mereka demokratisasi yang terjadi di Indoensia sudah on the right track. Dalam tempo
yang singkat proses ini akan semakin mengakar di masyarakat sehingga demokrasi akan menjadi negara demokrasi
yang kuat dalam waktu tidak terlelu lama. Memang kalangan ini menyadari adanya problem yang muncul pada proses
transformasi tersebut, tetapi bagi mereka problem ini tidaklah terlalu penting untuk dikhawatirkan sebab negara lain
yang mengalami proses demokratisasi awal seperti Amerika Utara dan Eropa juga mengalami hal tersebut bahkan
lebih parah15.
Transformasi menuju negara demokrasi yang kokoh tersebut dalam benak pada akademisi liberal tersebut
setidaknya menempuh tiga fase yang saling berkaitan yakni: 1.) fase transasi, 2.) fase depeening, dan 3.) fase
konsolidasi demokrasi. Fase transisi sendiri ditandai dari upaya membangun demokrasi dari nol pasca runtuhnya
sietem otoriter. Fase ini ditandai dengan instalasi institusi demokrasi dalam negara tersebut. Fase transisi ini nantinya
akan dilanjutkan dengan fase deepening democracy (pendalaman/pengakaran) demokrasi. Fase pendalaman ini
menjadi sangat penting sebab jika demokrasi tidak memiliki “akar” yang kuat di masyarakat maka demokrasi yang
hadir adalah demokrasi yang “rapuh”16. Ketika fase pendalaman berhasil maka akan masuk ke fase konsolidasi
demokrasi. Konsolidasi disini dimaknai bahwa demokrasi telah menjadi the only game in the town17.
Fase pendalaman sendiri ditandai dengan transfromasi di sejumlah bidang. Sebut saja peningkatan integritas
dalam penyelenggaraan pemilu18 dan perubahan dari sistem pemilihan umum tidak langsung ke sistem langsung19.
Ambil contoh perubahan sistem pemilihan ini dimana di Indonesia juga menjangkau hingga tingkat lokal –yang lebih
dikenal dengan itulah Pilkadal (pemilihan kepala daerah langsung)-. Dibayangkan dengan penyelengagraan Pilkadal
semacam itu akan mendorong pendidikan politik bagi masyarakat bahwa kontestasi, menang kalah adalah hal bisa 20.
Selain juga akan semakin mengasah kapabilitas masyarakat lokal dalam menyelenggarakan pemerintahan mereka
sendiri tidak tergantung elit pusat21.
Bagi kalangan liberal kira-kira proses ini akan berjalan mulus dimana transisi ini akan segera berlanjut ke
arah pendalaman dan akhirnya demokrasi akan menjadi the only game in the town. Ketika itu terjadi maka Indonesia
sudah memasuki fase baru sebagai negara demokrasi yang kokoh. Menariknya sebagian kalangan liberal berani
menyatakan bahwa Indonesia sudah memasuki fase konsolidasi22, dengan kata lain proyek demokratisasi di Indonesia
sudah sukes.
Pertanyaannya apakah realitas mengafimasi pandangan yang “super” optimis tersebut? Apakah demokrasi
sukses beroperasi di negara Indonesia? Faktanya meskipun instalasi berbagai institusi demokrasi memang berhasil
diaplikasikan di Indonesia tidak serta merta menjadikan Indoensia negara demokratis.
Bahkan jika merujuk pada hipotesis kaum liberal bahwa ketika demokrasi telah menjadi the only game in the
town itu artinya perjuangan mendemokratisasikan Indoenesia sudah sukses ternyata didustakan oleh realitas.

Ambil contoh temuan terkini yang dipaparkan oleh Olle Tornquist dalam sebuah artikelnya. Dari kajian
empirik yang dilakukan Olle beserta rekannya –termasuk dari pihak UGM- menunjukkan bahwa sejumlah asumsi
liberal itu sudah berjalan di Indonesia bahkan hingga pada penerimaan demokrasi sebagai “satu-satunya aturan main”
tersebut23.
Akan tetapi nyatanya mutu atau kualitas demokrasi di Indonesia tidak membaik juga. Bagi Olle temuan
empiris justru menunjukkan pelambatan bahkan kemandekan dalam proses demokratisasi ini24. Dimana pada
kenyatannya Indonesia tidak terbebas dari kuasa oligarki, elit partai, dan para pemegang modal bukan rakyat 25.
Walaupun memang perlu digarisbawahi bahwa kuasa oligarki tersebut tidak berarti tanpa lawan, hanya saja mereka
memang masih tetap dominan, jauh daripada prediksi kaum “super” optimis tersebut26.
Melihat kenyataan diatas maka dapat disimpulkan terjadi keterputusan antara rakyat dan negara. Negara
dijalankan dengan logika oligarki –walaupun dengan wadah yang nampak demokratis- sementara rakyat yang
sejatinya menjadi pemagang kekuasaan hakiki dalam konsepsi demokrasi justru tidak mendapat tempat. Rakyat hanya
digunakan sebagai “lumbung suara” bagi para elit tersebut untuk melegitimasi kedudukan mereka.
Faktanya para politisi tersebut mengandalkan uang untuk “membeli” suara rakyat. Jelas logika ini
mengisyaratkan bahwa bukan rakyat tapi elit tersebut yang menentukan jalannya pemerintahan di Indoensia. Sebuah
spirit yang bertentangan dengan ide dasar demokrasi. Maka benar pendapat Olle Tornquist yang menyatakan bahwa
saat ini demokratisasi Indonesia mengalami kemandegan, bukannya deepening atau bahkan konsolidasi demokrasi
sebagaimana dibayangkan oleh kaum liberal.
Sangat disayangkan banyak akademisi/ ilmuan politik yang dalam menganalisa cuma sampai di tahap ini saja
–dimana da keterputusan negara dan rakyat- sehingga justru melahirkan pesimisme yang luar biasa. Sangat wajar jika
mereka pesimis karena dengan melihat situasi di tingkat negara yang tidak ideal dan celakanya ditopang oleh kuasa
yang kuat sehingga sulit untuk dirubah. Sehingga apa yang sering dilakukan akademisi semacam ini cuma mencaci
maki keadaan, mencaci para elit yang berkuasa, tapi tanpa menawarkan terobosan-terobosan yang transformatif. Sadar
atau tidak pesimisme semacam ini justru melanggengkan status quo karena rakyat yang membaca karya
akademisi/ilmuwan semacam ini bisa jadi juga tertular pesimisme serupa karena merasa tidak ada harapan perubahan.
Sejatinya jika sejumlah akademisi tersebut melepaskan cara pandang yang pesimistis tersebut mereka bisa
menemukan potensi perubahan pada banyak hal. Salah satu potensi perubahan itu sejatinya terjadi di tingkat
masyarakat dengan terjadinya revolusi informasi yang kini melanda dunia termausk pula Indonesia. Revolusi
informasi inilah yang pada akhirnya mentransformasi masyarakat sedemikian rupa akibat digitalisasi yang terjadi
secara masif. Istilah “generasi milenial”, “zaman now”, “generasi Z” kini seringkali muncul dalam berbagai forum
diskusi, pemberitaan media, bahkan obrolan sehari-hari. Istilah tersebut sebenarnya merupakan cermina perubahan
radikal yang terjadi di masyarakat saat ini.
Apa makna “zaman now” atau “generasi milenial” dan apa pengaruhnya bagi demokratisasi di Indonesia?
“zaman now” ialah zaman yang ditandai dengan pengaruh yang kuat dari teknologi canggih, tekhusus media sosial,

Perlu digarisbawahi disini bahwa Purwo Santoso memberikan catatan dimana perlu dibedakan antara demokratisasi dalam arti
yang tebal atau tipis. Tipis merujuk pada suatu entitas yang nampaknya berubah bentuk namun sejatinya tidak merubah esensi,
sedangkan Tebal merujuk pada esnesi yang berubah tidak hanya bentuk (luar) yang berubah. Menurut Purwo yang terjadi di
Indonesia ketika dinyatakan bahwa demokrasi telah menjadi the only game in the town sebenarnya merujuk pada arti tipis bukan
tebal. Lihat selengkapnya di: Purwo santoso. No date. Menolak Stagnasi Demokratisasi: Otonomi Daerah Sebagai

internet, dan komputer. Teknologi canggih tersebut mempengaruhi perilaku masyarakat terkhusus kaum mudanya
secara khusus yang seirngkali dijuluki sebagai “generasi milenial”. Mereka itulah generasi yang paling “terpapar”
pengaruh teknologi canggih ini dan akhirnya memunculkan sifat-sifat khas yang tidak didapatkan dari generasi
sebelumnya27.
Paling tidak ada 4 sifat yang hadir dalam “generasi milenial” ini yakni: 1.) kebebasan28. 2.) kesetaraan29, 3.)
inovasi30, 4.) kolaborasi31. Pertama, kebebasan. Generasi milenial dimungkinkan untuk lebih bebas dengan bantuan
medium teknologi. Sebagaimana diketahui bersama misal dengan bantuan Google, generasi milenial dapat mencari
sendiri informasi yang ingin diketahuinya tanpa memutuhkan otoritas dari pihak lain di sekelilingnya –yang kadang
kali juga membatasi informasi yang ingin diketahuinya-. Spirit kebebasan, anti terhadap batas-batas menjadi ciri yang
khas generasi ini akibat pengaruh interaksinya dengan teknologi canggih.
Kedua, kesetaraan. Dapat dikatakan internet menjadi intisari dari teknologi canggih tersebut. Segala
perangkat media sosial yang menjadi ciri zaman ini misalnya merupakan produk yang berbasikan koneksi internet.
Perlu dipahami bahwa internet membangun mode komunikasi berbasis jaringan. Dengan kata lain masing masing
komputer –atau perangkat lain- dihubungkan dengan mode jaringan. Mode jaringan ini sangat khas karena sifatnya
yang cair bukan lagi hierarkis atau top down. Spirit cair (atau kesetaraan) bukannya hierarkis inilah yang juga
mempengaruhi cara berfikir generasi milenial.
Ketiga, inovasi. Internet menawarkan begitu banyak informasi kepada para penggunanya. Dengan informasi
tersebut mereka dapat menggunakannya untuk merancang berbagai inovasi entah untuk kepentingan dirinya sendiri
atau kepentingan lain. Dari inovasi inilah muncul hal-hal baru yang sebelumnya tidak pernah terfikirkan. Inovasi
tentunya berkebalikan dengan status quo atau konsrvativme yang merasa nyaman dengan keadaan sekarang. Memang
generasi milenial akan cenderung mencoba hal yang baru, tidak suka dengan status quo yang dianggap menghambat
inovasi. Maka tidak salah jika menyebut spirit progresif melekat pada jiwa generasi ini.
Keempat, kolaborasi. Poin penting dari internet dan media sosial adalah interaksi dua arah. Interaksi ini tidak
bisa dielakkan bahkan ketika pengguna tersebut menggunakan perangkat media sosial atau internet sedang
menggunakannya untuk tujuan hiburan semata. Bukankah game online kontemporer pasti membuka interkasi antar
pengguna online-nya misal untuk membentuk team? spirit interaksi inilah yang juga mempengaruhi generasi milenial
ini sehingga tingkat kolaborasi mereka sejatinya sangat tinggi.
Empat spirit generasi now/milenial diatas –kebebasan, kesetaraan, inovasi, dan kolaborasi- sejatinya memiliki
spirit politis yang sangat kuat, terkhusus jika dikaitkan dengan ide populisme. Populisme sendiri dicirikan dengan dua
karakteristik: 1.) anti elit/sistem yang bekerja (anti establishment)32.

Termasuk bagian tidak terpisahkan dari sentimen anti elit ini ialah anti partai. Karena baik elit, sistem/tatanan,
dan parpol yang ada tidak merepresentasikan kehendak rakyat. Sehingga dalam pandangan populisme elit, partai, dan
tatanan yang ada saat ini harus dirombak33.
Khusus mengenai partai, eksistensinya dianggap justru kontraproduktif untuk menghbungkan rakyat dan
pemimpinnya secara langsung34. Sehingga bagi populisme segala bentuk sekat (partai juga dianggap sekat) harus
disingkirkan. Alasannya partai justru tidak menyampaikan kehendak rakyat tetapi kehendaknya sendiri35.
2.) democratic reform36. Dikarenakan elit, partai, dan tatanan yang ada dirasa tidak ideal populisme berupaya
merubah keadaan tidak ideal ini menjadi lebih demokratis. Artinya segala bentuk tatanan lama termasuk partai
menjadi target untuk dihapus dan kemudian dibentuk tatanan baru yang lebih merakyat.
Sangat jelas kebebasan, kesetaraan, inovasi (progresivitas) dan kolaborasi adalah spirit anti elit. Eksistensi elit
dan tatanan lama yang korup jelas menghalangi kebebasan yang hakiki, anti kesetaraan karena sifatnya justru sangat
mengagungkan hierarkis, anti inovasi karena kekuasan mereka tidak boleh dirubah, dan juga anti kolaborasi karena
suara rakyat tidak dianggap. Kebijakan adalah ranah elit semata rakyat tidak boleh mengkritisi, memberi masukan
atau turut membentuk dan mengawal sebuah kebijakan. Singkatnya spirit “zaman now” sangat bertendensi politis dan
populis.
Maka sangat keliru jika ada yang menyatakan generasi zaman now justru apolitis, hanya dengan alasan
misalnya mereka “meninggalkan dunia politik”. Jika yang dimaksud apolitis adalah memilih golput misalnya maka
sejatinya sikap semacam itu tidak bisa dinilai sebagai sikap apolitis. Perlu diingat bahwa ada banyak sebab mengapa
seorang memilih golput. Eep Saefulah Fatah misalnya menggolongkan Golput menjadi beberapa tipe, salah satunya
adalah tipe golput politis. Golongan ini merasa kandidat yang melaju dalam pemilihan tidaklah sesuai yang mereka
harapkan –tidak progresif misalnya- atau tidak percaya pemilu/pemilukada akan membawa perubahan yang berarti
bagi mereka37.
Senada dengan Fatah, Arbi Sanit juga menyatakan bahwa golput adalah mereka yang sadar dan tidak puas
dengan aturan sekarang, karena bagi mereka aturan main dimokrasi sudah diinjak-injak partai. Terlebih lagi institusi
partai sama sekali tidak merepresentasikan kehendak rakyat 38.
Dari penjelasan dua tokoh diatas sangat jelas bahwa golput justru merupakan tindakan politis bukannya
apolitis. Sebagai bukti tambahan untuk menguatkan bahwa generasi milenial tidkalah apolitis dapat kita saksikan dari
ketertarikan mereka untuk memberikan komentar, pendapat, dan kritik terhadap bebrgaai fenomena politik yang
terjadi. Media mainstream sendiri paham kecenderungan ini sehingga mereka seringkali memberikan ruang khusus
dalam pemberitaan mereka untuk mengungkap “apa kata netizen” –julukan yang seringkali melekat pada generasi
zaman now karena mereka menggunakan media sosial untuk berkomentar-. “apa kata netizen” sejatinya adalah
cermin bahwa generasi zaman now sangat melek politik dan punya keinginan berkontribusi terhadapnya.
Tidak hanya melak politik, generasi zaman now juga punya potensi besar untuk merancang inovasi dan
kolaborasi untuk memperjuangkan kepentingan politis tertentu. Ambil contoh heboh kasus Prita versus Rumah Sakit
Omni. Prita yang merasa pelayanan rumah sakit kurang memuaskan menuliskan pengalamannya dalam surat
elektronik. Ternyata tulisannya tersebut memebuat marah RS dan mengadukannya ke pengadilan. Malangnya
pengadilan memenangkan pihak Omni dan meminta Prita membayar uang sekitar 200 juta. Prita yang terzalimi saat

itu mendapatkan kepedulian luar biasa dari publik –khusunya netizen-. Akhirnya mereka merancang inovasi untuk
prita berupa Koin keadilan untuk membiayai tuntutan pengadilan pada Prita.
Pada akhirnya gerakan peduli Prita tersebut berhasil mengumpulkan uang yang dibutuhkan Prita –bahkan
berlebih-. Keberhailan pengumpulan koin tersebut tentunya tidak akan berhasil jika tidak ada pemikiran inovatif yang
diusulkan oleh netizen. Termsuk juga ide tersebut hanya sekedr ide jika tidak ada kolaborasi para relawan untuk
mengumpulkan uang tersebut di bebrgaia tempat –alau lewat online-. Sehingga sangat jelas terlihat bagaimana
generasi “zaman now” bisa mengorganisasikan diri untuk kepentingan politik tertentu dan berhasil mewujudkannya
secara mulus.
Gerakan semacam koin untuk Prita sejatinya sangat banyak untuk ditampilkan dan dibahas pada artikel ini.
Bahkan termasuk pula gerakan 212 dan sejenisnya yang sejatinya juga ditopang oleh inovasi dan kolaborasi yang kuat
untuk kepentigan politik tertentu. Dimana mereka merasa institusi peradilan Indonesia bermasalah sehinga harus
didorong dengan aksi massa untuk memastikan peradilan dapat berungsi sebagaimana seharusnya.
Akan tetapi baik gerakan 212, koin untuk Prita dan gerakan lainnya memiliki kekurangan yakni berbasis isu
yang sangat spesifik dan setelah itu kembali meredup. Artinya tidak ada kontinuitas pada gerakan politik masayarakat
“zaman now” tersebut. Padahal demokrasi membayangkan masyarakat terlibat aktif dalam penyelenggaraan
pemerintahan dan segala bentuk kebijakan publik, bukan hanya terbatas pada satu isu saja. Dengan kata lain
ketrsambungan negara dan masyarakat hanya berlangsung pada momen tertentu saja dan kemudian hilang. Negara
kembali lagi tidak terkontrol oleh rakyat.
Munculnya gagasan mengenai calon independen sebenarnya merupakan salah satu terobosan yang brilian
untuk mengatasi problema ketersambungan tersebut. Dengan mengusung calon alternatif yang dianggap lebih
merepresentasikan kehendak rakyat –dibandingkan kehendak elit atau parpol- dibayangkan sang calon tersebut akan
membuat kebijakan yang merefleksikan kemauan rakyat ketika terpilih.
Strategi ini memang potensial mendesakkan kehendak rakyat pada negara sehingga mereka tidak lagi imun
dari pengaruh luar. Berbeda dengan model gerakan sosial macam koin Prita yang hanya berbasis isu spesifik, calon
independen ini diharapkan mampu mengubah jalannya pemerintahan dan pembuatan kebijakan secara umum menjadi
lebih peka terhadap kehendak rakyat. Walau tentunya startegi calon independen ini tidak bermaksud untuk
menegasikan startegi ekstraparlementer ala model gerakan sosial tersebut. Tetapi strategi ini dapat dipandang saling
melengkapi. Tujuannya satu, dimana negara dapat “direbut” kembali oleh rakyat39.
Akan tetapi strategi memeunculkan calon independen memiliki masalah di dalam sruktur politik formal yang
dikuasai oleh partai. Dari muali syarat pencalonan calon independen yang terbilang sulit. Kalaupun calon tersebut bisa
lolos dan terpilih maka pemerintahannya rentan untuk “digoyang”oleh partai yang ada di kursi legislatif. Jangankan
calon independen, pemimpin yang berasal dari partai yang berbeda saja rentan untuk “dirongrong” kekuasaannya oleh
oposisi. Terlebih lagi calon independen yang sejatinya adalah musuh bagi semua partai politik –akrena sejatinya
menihilkan relevansi mereka-. Bisa dibayangkan sulitnya snag pemimpin bekerja dan ujung-ujungnya rakyat bisa
kecewa terhadap pemimpin tersebut karena dianggap gagal merealisaikan janji. Padahal bukannya ia tidak mau etapi
sulit melaksakannya misalnya.
Maka perubahan di level partai politi sejatinya menajdi salah satu komponen penting untuk memicu
perubahan yang lebih besar di level negara. Dimana upaya untuk mendesakkan kuasa rakyat bisa lebih diperbesar lagi
tekanannya. Akan tetapi sebagaimana kita ketahui bersama partai yang ada maupun yang muncul belakangan tidak
dapat dilepaskan dari elitisme dan sifat oligarkisnya. Mereka memang hadir lebih sebagai kendaraan elit berkuasa
bukan saluran untuk menyerap dan merealisasikan kehendak rakyat.

Dalam konteks “kebobrokan” partai inilah terobosan yang dirancang oleh PSI menjadi sesuatu yang patut
untuk diperhatikan secara seksama. PSI mencoba melakukan dobrakan radikal dengan mengusung ideologi populis.
Dengan berbekal ideologi populis itulah merek berharap struktur lama yang “korup” –termasuk sistem kepartaian
lama yang oligarkis- dapat dilawan. Tentu saja eksperimen ala PSI ini menjadi hal yang menarik sebab bagaimana
partai ini akan merelalisaikan ide anti partai yang inheren dalam konsepsi populis? Partai yang anti partai? Termsuk
pula democratic reform apa yang ditawarkan partai ini? Poin ini krusial sebab ketika berhenti pada sikap anti elit saja
tetapi tidak menjanjikan perubahan –sesuai kehendak rakyat- maka tidaklah cukup. Menarik untuk memahami
bagaimana partai ini memperjuangkan kehendak rakyat terlebih di era “zaman now” yang tentunya amat khas dengan
cara berfikir kebebasan, kesetaraan, inovasi, dan kolaborasi.
Jika ekspreimen ala PSI ini berhasil tentunya menjadi sebuah terobosan untuk mengatasi problem
demoktarisasi yang hingga kini “jalan di tempat” atau bahakan “berhenti sama Sekali”. Disinilah pentingnya
mempelajari eksperimen PSI, yang seharusnya juga disadari oleh ilmuwan politik. Terkhusus bagi kalangan yang
pesimis dalam melihat keadaan, sehingga mereka dapat kembali dibangkitkan semangatnya untuk merubah keadaan
yang lebih baik. Tidak hanya meratapi dan mengutuk keadaan tanpa bisa berbuat apa-apa.
Pembahasan: Telaah Kritis Populisme ala PSI
Penelusuran jejak paham populisme yang dianut dan diaplikasikan PSI hingga hari ini tidak dapat dilepaskan
dari dua strategi besar mereka yang saling terkait, yakni: pertama, memposisikan partainya vis a vis dengan struktur
lama yang dianggap korup dan perlu diganti. Strategi ini merupakan ciri khas dari semua gerakan populisme yang ada
di berbagai belahan dunia.
Strategi ini menjadi penting untuk menggalang dukungan rakyat yang muak dengan keadaan kontemporer
yang dianggap tidak ideal. Dalam konteks politik Indonesia strategi ini penting untuk menjaring lapisan masyarakat
yang semakin apatis terhadap dunia politik atau mungkin meemilih jalan ekstra parlementar karena muak dengan
ranah politik formal selama ini yang dianggap korup.
Kedua, branding partai sebagai wujud ideal perubahan tersebut. Strategi ini berkaitan dengan strategi
pertama, dimana kemuakan masyarakat dengan struktur lama haruslah dibarengi dengan komitmen PSI untuk
menampilkan bahwa dia berbeda secara hakiki. Karena bisa saja retorika pertama dimunculkan (anti elit dan struktur
lama) tetapi ketika menjabat sama saja.
Terkait dengan poin pertama, yakni memposisikan dirinya vis a vis dengan struktur lama, dapat dilihat
secara terang benderang di bebrgaai publikasi resmi PSI ataupun retorika para politisinya. Sebagai contoh retorika ini
tergambar jelas dalam website resmi partai tersebut, khususnya dalam rubrik mengapa memilih PSI:
PSI sebagai partai baru tidak lagi tersandera dengan kepentingan politik lama, klientalisme, rekam jejak yang
buruk, beban sejarah dan citra yang buruk terhadap partai politik sebelumnya. PSI memberikan porsi yang
besar pada perempuan, sehingga gerakan politik PSI tidak hanya sekedar memenuhi syarat 30% persen
perempuan, tapi juga seluruh keputusan politiknya diambil melalui keterlibatan aktif perempuan di
dalamnya....40
Dari penjelasan di website tersebut setidaknya ada dua kritik besar terhadap partai-partai lama, yakni:
pertama, krtitik yang sifatnya lebih umum. PSI mencoba mengkonstruksi citra parta-partai lama telah gagal dalam
menjalankan tugasnya sebagai pilar dekomrasi di Indonesia. Alih-alih menjalankan mandat rakyat tetapi partai justru
identik dengan berbagai “catatan hitam” sepenjang perjalannya.
Dapat dikatakan kritik PSI ini sifatnya radikal karena memposisikan partai lama sebagai institusi yang tidak
layak dipertahankan lagi di era kontemporer saat ini. Bagaimana tidak, dengan memposisikan partai lama lekat
dengan beban sejarah dan rekam jejak yang buruk maka solusi yang tentunya paling masuk akal adalah meninggalkan

institusi lama tersebut dan membuat yang benar-benar baru sehingga benar-benar memulai dari awal, memulai dari
yang tidak bernoda.
Apakah solusi yang sifatnya lebih moderat bisa tergambar dari kritik ala PSI tersebut? Sebenarnya bisa saja
tetapi sifatnya sangat revolusioner karena benar-benar menghapus tatanan lama (baik elit, sejarah, citra, bahkan
mungkin AD/ART partai). Pertanyaannya apakah proses yang revolusioner tersebut akan berjalan dengan mudah?
Tentunya tidak karena resistensi dari elit yang berkuasa pasti akan muncul karena tidak rela kekuasaannya
dihapuskan. Sehingga pilihan ini mungkin tapi sulit direaliasikan. Lebih mudah untuk membentuk institusi yang
benar-benar baru41.
Kedua, kritik yang sifatnya lebih khusus yakni menyasar permasalahan perempuan. Nampak jelas PSI disini
ingin menarik simpati dari kaum perempuan. PSI dengan tegas menyatakan partai-partai lama sejatinya tidak benarbenar memperjuangkan perempuan, karena perjuangan tersebut sifatnya hanya untuk memenuhi persyaratan
administratif saja yang mau tidak mau harus dipenuhi. Bukan karena terdorong dari dalam diri partai bahwa
pemberdayaan perempuan merupakan suatu yang urgen.
Sejalan dengan kritik pertama, kritik kedua tersebut mengimplikasikan bahwa perlu solusi yang sifatnya
revolusioner untuk mengubah keadaan yang memarginalkan perempuan ini. Tetapi jika mengandalkan partai lama
maka juga akan sulit karena meskipun mereka nampaknya memaihak perempuan tetapi posisinya tidak strategis –
hanya pelengkap administratif saja- sehingga ruang gerak mereka terbatas. Lebih mudah bagi kaum perempuan untuk
memapaki jalan baru lewat institusi baru yang komitmen pada pemberdayaan perempuan.
Menariknya dalam rilis resmi website SPI tersebut juga ditampilkan sebuah video dari sang ketua partai
Grace Natalie yang isinya juga menyiratkan pesan populis yang menempatkan PSI vis a vis dengan struktur lama
yang korup42. Dalam video tersbeut, Grace Natalie membeberkan catatan hitam partai politik dan politisi lama seperti
tidak berpihak pada rakyat, tidak mendengarkan suara kaum muda dan perempuan, lekat dengan isu korupsi.
Lebih jauh bagi Grace, partai politik lekat dengan wajah orang lama yang notabene memiliki “darah biru”
sehingga bisa berkarir gemilang di partai tersebut. Kalangan yang tidak memiliki “darah biru” –terutama kaum mudajangan harap bisa mengambil keputusan sentral dalam partai.
Setelah memaparkan “kebobrokan” partai lama Grace Natalie segera mewacanakan bahwa partainya berjarak
bahkan bertentangan dengan struktur lama tersebut. Partainya adalah partai baru dengan cara pengelolaan yang sama
sekali baru sehingga merupakan antitesa dari partai lama tersebut.
Dari pernyataan Grace Natalie diatas tentunya semakin mengafirmasi wacana populis yang dikembangkan
PSI. Tetpai ada satu yang perlu digarisbawahi bahwa video tersbeut melengkapi satu kritik yang tidak terdapat dalam
teks di website PSI yakni posisi kaum muda. Sangat jelas Grace Natalie berupaya menegaskan bahwa struktur lama
tidak memihak kaum muda. Partai diisi oleh orang lama (dan notabene kebanyakan bukan kawula muda) maupun
tidak mempertimbangkan aspirasi kaum muda sebagai entitas rakyat yang memiliki kekhasan tersendiri.
Nampak jelas bahwa Grace Natalie ingin menarik garis yang tegas antara struktur lama dengan generasi
milenial, generasi “zaman now” yang notabene digawangi oleh kaum muda –yang melek media-. Tentunya setelah
menarik garis batas itu Grace Natalie menegaskan bahwa dirinya –dan partainya- berada pada posisi yang sama
dengan kaum muda, sama-sama menentang kondisi yang tidak ideal tersebut. Tentu saja harapannya dengan cara
semacam ini generasi milenial akan simpatik dengan perjuangan PSI dan mendukungnya.
Tidak hanya lewat rilis resmi dalm webiste maupun pidato politik sang ketua partai tersbeut, sejumlah politisi
PSI dalam berberapa kesempatan nampak secara terbuka menunjukkan penentangannya pada elit lama tanpa sungkan

ataupun merasa kikuk. Sebut saja Tsamara Amany, salah satu kader muda PSI yang cukup terkenal. Tsamara Amany
misalnya terlibat perbedatan dengan satu politisi senior di DPR Fahmri Hamzah.
Amany merasa sikap fahri hamzah –sebagai salah satu representasi elit lama- tidak layak untuk didukung
karena berusaha melemahkan KPK. Dengan segera Amany membuat sejumlah video pendek yang berisi bantahan
terhadap argumen fahri hamzah yang menyerang KPK. Amany sendiri mengaku bahwa videonya tersebut merupakan
karya bersama dirinya dengan teman-temannya di PSI43 (bahkan dalam video tersebut ada logo PSI44) yang
menunjukkan bahwa kritik tersebut juga menjadi suara partai.
Keberanian Amany melawan politisi senior semacam Fahri Hamzah sendiri mendapatkan apresiasi dari
sejumlah pihak45. Mengingat posisi Amany yang saat itu masih berstatus sebagai mahasiswa di salah satu universitas.
Dengan kata lain Amany merupakan representasi kaum muda yang “hijau” namun berani menunjukkan bahwa dirinya
–dan partainya- tidak takut beroposisi pada struktur lama yang dianggap korup46.
Perlu ditambahkan, meskipun PSI mengambil langkah populis dengan memposisikan mereka vis a vis dengan
struktur lama, elit lama, dan partai lama tetapi dapat dikatakan mereka juga “tahu diri” untuk tidak melakukannya
secara vulgar. Dapat dikatakan pilihan gaya populisme elegan yang mereka kedepankan. Elegan yang dimaksud ialah
PSI berupaya tetap membangun relasi yang baik dengan partai-partai lain yang sudah eksis ataupun sejumlah elit yang
memerintah saat ini seperti Jokowi dan Ahok.
Jika ditinjau secara sekilas dukungan terbuka pada Jokowi berikut kebijakan-kebijakan yang dikeluarkannnya
misalnya menjadi suatu hal yang aneh. Karena jika itu dilakukan tentunya akan memperlemah klaim populisme yang
mereka perjuangkan bahwasanya ada sistem yang rusak dan harus dirombak secara radikal. Menjadi aneh jika Jokowi
misalnya yang saat ini memegang pemerintahan dan notabene identik dengan partai lama PDIP justru dianggap PSI
sebagai pemimpin yang cakap?
Analisis tersebut memang masuk akal, tetapi dari sudut pandang jalan populisme elegan ala PSI, sikap
tersebut bisa dijelaskan. Perlu diingat bahwa sosok seperti Jokowi dan Ahok tadinya bukan merupakan sosok yang
identik dengan partai. Jokowi misalnya, merupakan figur di luar lingkaran dalam partai. Namun karena
popularitasnya, Megawati segera memanfaatkan peluang dan memposisikan Jokowi sebagai “barang berharga” bagi
PDIP47. Begitu pula Ahok misalnya, yang dikenal “gonta ganti” partai –alis tidak memiliki kesetiaan-48 dan bahkan
sempat menunjukkan sikap anti parti dengan memilih mengandalkan relawan Ahok (alias jalur independen) untuk
maju dalam pemilu49.

Sikap “gonta ganti” partai ala Ahok inilah yang misalnya membuat kesal pihak Gerindra. Menurut Gerindra dahulu Ahok
mendukung Golkar kemudian pindah Gerindra, kemudian pindah lagi ke partai lain. Lihat: Kontan. 2014. Gerindra: Ahok

Intonasi semacam inilah yang tercemrin jelas dalam sebuah artikel yang dipublikasikan dalam website resmi PSI. Dimana
partai politik sebenarnya memandang sebelah mata Ahok, sehingga ia lebih mengandalkan relawan (Teman Ahok) untuk berjuang
secara elektoral. Akan tetapi karena relawan mampu membuktikan militansinya mendukung Ahok partai politik menjadi

Dengan dukungan pada Ahok, Jokowi, atau mungkin figur populis lainnya sejatinya PSI nampak “lunak”
dengan tidak menyerang struktur lama secara frontal. Sehingga partai-partai lama seperti PDIP tidak akan merasa
terancam dengan eksistensinya50. PSI juga diuntungkan dengan kemungkinan menjalin relasi yang lebih cair dengan
PDIP atau partai lain yang mendukung rezim Jokowi misalnya51.
Akan tetapi perlu diingat bahwa di balik “lunaknya” sikap PSI itu tetap saja logika populisme yang
diusungnya tetap kuat. Kecenderungan ini dapat dicermati dari berbagai publikasi PSI yang memiliki tendensi untuk
mendukung sosok populis semacam Jokowi tetapi tidak terlihat dukungan pada Megawati, Surya Paloh, Wiranto dan
sosok lainnya dalam konteks sebagai pemimpin partai ataupun pujian-pujian pada partai-partai pendukung Jokowi
secara umum.
Artinya secara implisit PSI membedakan antara sosok-sosok populis tersebut dan partai politik lama beserta
elitnya. Sosok populis mereka dukung karena pada hakikatnya mereka adalah bagian dari perubahan walaupun
mungkin sifatnya masih individu bukan berbentuk institusi baru52. Kira-kira sosok individual populis semacam itu
hanya akan bekerja secara optimal jika didukung oleh institusi yang baik pula. Disinilah PSI hadir sebagai bagian dari
arus perubahan tersebut53.
Jika hipotesis ini diterima maka sejatinya PSI sudah mengumumkan “perang” dengan institusi dan elit lama
yang dianggap korup yang dianggap tidak kompatibel dengan sosok populis yang kini hadir. Faktanya ketua PSI
sendiri, Grace Natalie seringkali menyatakan bahwa sebelum partai lain mendukung program Jokowi, termasuk
mengusung kembali Jokowi sebagai Presiden (di tahun 2019) partainya sudah melakukannya 54. Ucapan ini
sebenarnya jelas bermakna mendalam dimana menyiratkan makna bahwa hanya PSI-lah institusi yang sejatinya
paling kompatibel untuk mendukung individu populis macam Jokowi untuk terus berkarya. Sementara partai lain
lebih mementingkan deal dan kalkulasi politik tertentu yang sifatnya bias elitis bukannya karena itulah aspirasi
rakyat55.
“ketakutan” pula sehingga memilih mendukung Ahok tanpa syarat. Sehingga dapat disimpulkan bagi partai yang paling penting
adalah deal politik, bukan sosok semacam apa yang mereka dukung. Lihat: Muh. Ardiansah Laitte. 2017. Melampaui Bad
Populism ala Teman Ahok. Diakses dari https://psi.id/berita/2017/12/13/melampaui-bad-populism-ala-teman-ahok/
50
Faktanya elit PDIP semacam Ketua DPP PDIP Hendrawan Supratikno sendiri sempat menunjukkan sikap meremehkan
eksistensi PSI, dimana ia menyebut partai tersebut sebagai “partai anak-anak muda yang butuh waktu bisa teruji...”. Lihat Elza
Astari Retaduari. 2017. PSI Dukung Jokowi, Ketua PDIP: Partai Anak Muda Belum Teruji. Diakses di
https://news.detik.com/berita/d-3471685/psi-dukung-jokowi-ketua-pdip-partai-anak-muda-belum-teruji
51
Faktanya menurut sekjen PSI Raja Juli Antoni PSI sudah membicarakan kerjasama dengan PDIP untuk memenangkan Jokowi
dalam pilpres 2019 mendatang. Lihat: Tribunnews. 2018. PSI Klaim Lebih Dulu Usung Jokowi Sebagai Calon Presiden. Diakses
di http://www.tribunnews.com/nasional/2018/02/25/psi-klaim-lebih-dulu-usung-jokowi-sebagai-calon-presiden?page=2
52
Bahkan ketika dukungan pada figur Jokowi mengarah kepada pengkultusan –bukan lagi dukungan rasional atas kebijakannyamaka PSI juga menentangnya. Hal ini tergambar misalnya dengan sikap PSI yang menganggap biasa saja kasus mahasiswa UI
yang mengacungkan kartu kuring pada Jokowi. Bagi PSI itu adalah bentuk penyampaian pendapat yang tidak perlu dibesarbesarkan. Sikap ini tentunya berbeda dengan sejumlah pihak pendukung Jokowi baik dari kalangan parpol atau non parpol yang
menganggap insiden itu sebagai hal yang tidak termaafkan. Sebagai contoh saja segera muncul hastag #MahasiswaKampret yang
dibuat oleh pengurus salah satu partai pendukung Jokowi di media sosial. Lihat Yulida Medistiara. 2018. Soal Aksi 'Kartu

Tetapi karena pilihan retorika populisme-nya yang elegan, nampaknya dapat digunakan PSI untuk
membangun relasi yang sifatnya lebih cair dengan partai-partai lama, termasuk kemungkinan membangun kerjasama
dalam isu tertentu. Hanya saja sebagaimana ditegaskan di awal hasrat PSI kedepannya untuk menyingkirkan struktur
lama tersebut tetap hadir dan akan diaktualisasikan dalam waktu yang tepat –dan mungkin dengan cara elegan pula-.
Tetapi menarik juga untuk mencermati manuver PSI ketika dinyatakan lolos sebagai peserta pemilu 201956.
Dalam pidato politiknya pasca pengambilan nomer urut partai di KPU, Grace Natalie terkesan mengambil langkah
yang “berani” dengan melakukan kritik tajam pada partai-partai lama secara lebih terbuka.
Jika dipandang dalam kerangka populisme, langkah PSI ini sangat rasional –walapun beresiko- dimana PSI
semakin menunjukkan karakter populisme lebih kentara di muka publik. Sebagaimana telah disampaikan sebelumnya,
populisme dibangun dalam logika pertentangan terhadap elit lama yang dirasa korup dan perlu untuk “dihancurkan”
demi kedaulatan rakyat. Dalam konteks inilah pidato Grace Natalie sangat kentara menunjukkan intonasi
“penghancuran” elit –dan struktur partai- lama untuk kemudian dibangun ulang oleh PSI.
Nuansa pertentangan juga disampaikan Grace dalam pidatonya dimana menurut Grace partai Psi telah
berhasil “mematahkan rintangan” yang dibuat anggota dewan –dengan kata lain elit partai lama- dengan UU yang
disahkan mereka. Keberhasilan PSI “mematahkan rintangan” secara tersirat menunjukkan posisi PSI yang vis a vis
dengan partai dan struktur lama yang dikesankan dalam pidato tersebut anti perubahan dan pro status quo. Dengan
keberhasilan PSI tersebut, seakan Grace ingin mengatakan “waktu kalian sudah dekat untuk digulung57”.
Langkah berani PSI ini memang potensial menguntungkan secara elektoral (Tentunya jika dilakukan dengan
kalkulasi yang tepat). Hal ini sangat beralasan sebab dengan pidato publik tersebut –yang juga diliput mediapotensial semakin mengukuhkan jati diri PSI sebagai partai baru yang tidak berkaitan dengan “orde lama”. Publik
akan menilai bahwa sikap berani PSI sebagai komitmen mereka bukan hanya pencitraan sehingga semakin simpatik
pada partai tersebut. Mengingat pemilu sudah di depan mata, mungkin bagi petinggi PSI seperti Grace, inilah waktu
yang tepat untuk bersikap lebih tegas.
Resiko langsung menghampiri Grace Natalie dan PSI-nya ketika Oso (Oesman Sapta Odang) dari pihak
Hanura secara terbuka menampakkan kegeramannya terhadap pidato dan langkah populis yang ditunjukkan PSI
tersebut. Dengan segera Oso memanfaatkan panggung saat dirinya mendapatkan jatah untuk berbicara mewakili
Hanura. Tidak tanggung-tanggung, Oso menyatakan “jangan mengajari bebek berenang58”. Sebuah ungkapan yang
sejatinya sangat “kasar” karena menyiratkan makna anda (Grace Natalie dan PSI) masih hijau, jangan berlagak 59. Aku
(Oso sebagai politisi dan perwakilan partai yang lebih “tua”) lebih berpengalaman dari anda.
Sejatinya jika dibaca secara lebih kritis, tanggapan Oso tersebut justru menguntungkan Grace Natalie dan
PSI-nya. Bagaimana tidak dengan menyatakan diri dan partainya sebagai “bebek yang sudah pandai berenang”.
Benerang disini dalam artian apa? Jika berenang dalam arti membangun demokrasi Indonesia faktanya tidak
menunjukkan kebenaran klaim Oso60.

Dalam kasus korupsi saja partai Hanura bukan merupakan partai yang memiliki jejak bersih. Miriam Handayani misalnya
anggota DPR dari Fraksi Hanura terbukti melakukan korupsi dan akhirnya diberhentikan secara tidak hormat. Lucunya kasus
korupsi semacam ini seakan dilupakan oleh petinggi Hanura semacam Oso dan terus mewacanakan partainya sebagai partai bebas
korupsi. Harian Jawapos misalnya pernah melansir gejala “kelupaan” ini dalam sebuah artikelnya yang menarik: Sari Hardiyanto.

Bahkan tidak bisa dipungkiri dengan peran sentral Wiranto dalam Hanura jelas menunjukkan bahwa partai
tempat bernaung Oso sangat elitis. Bukan partai yang diharapkan generasi milenial, dimana hierarki sebisa mungkin
dipangkas dan keterlibatan rakyat dalam pengambilan keputusan partai bisa dimaksimalkan. Belum lagi mencermati
sosok Wiranto yang merupakan elit lama “warisan” Orde Baru –yang juga kental dengan berbagai kontroversinya61sehingga jelas partai Oso tidak bisa keluar dari beban masa lalu.
Terkait dengan poin kedua, yakni branding PSI sebagai antitesis partai dan struktur lama yang korup. Poin
kedua ini menjadi penting karena melalui banding inilah masyarakat dapat ditarik untuk menjadi bagian dari PSI.
Tidak lagi menarik diri dari politik atau menempuh jalur-jalur ekstraparlemen yang mungkin sulit mendesakkan isu
menjadi kebijakan publik atau malah berubah menjadi anarkisme ketika mencapai titik frustasi ketika berhadapan
dengan rezim. Branding PSI sendiri sebagai partai “zaman now” setidaknya dapat dicermati pada tiga hal berikut ini:
Pertama, ideologi partai, Kedua, Pendanaan Partai, Ketiga, struktur partai.
Pertama, mengenai ideologi partai. Memahami ideologi PSI sejatinya cukup dengan melihat slogan yang
selalu mereka dengung-dengungkan yakni “terbuka, progresif, itu kita!”. Dari slogan tersebut sejatinya tercermin jelas
ada tiga ide besar yang menjadi pilar/ideologi PSI itu sendiri yakni keterbukaan dan progresivitas, dan “itu kita”
(solidaritas)62. Sekilas nampak sederhana namun tiga ide –khususnya dua ide pertama- tersebut menyimpan spirit
generasi “zaman now”. Dengan kata lain ideologi PSI ialah ideologi masyarakat “zaman now” itu sendiri.
Terkait poin pertama yakni keterbukaan. Keterbukaan disini sebagai antitesis dari partai lama yang tertutup
kepada rakyat. Sebagaimana dijelaskan pada pembahasan sebelumnya salah satu poin kritik PSI terhadap partai lama
yang “imun” dari masyarakat dan sepenuhnya tergantung pada elit. PSI mencoba membranding partainya sebagai
entitas yang sama sekali berbeda dengan partai-partai lama, dimana justru keterbukaan menjadi cirinya -Grace Natalie
mengistilahkannya sebagai politik yang tidak berjarak dengan publik63-. Partai harus membuka diri kepada rakyat
tidak boleh ada yang ditutup-tutupi. Termasuk dari komitmen terhadap keterbukaan ini ialah bahwa partai justru tidak
“imun” terhadap masyarakat tetapi membuka diri untuk dipengaruhi “ekosistem” di sekelilingnya yaitu rakyat.
PSI sendiri berupaya mewujudkan pilar pertama dari ideologi yang dianutnya tersebut. Langkah ini tentunya
menjadi sangat krusial karena jika hanya mengandalkan retorika belaka maka apatisme masyarakat pada eksistensi
PSI dengan cepat timbul kembali dan akan menyamakannya dengan partai lain yang hanya menebar janji bukan bukti.
Setidaknya ada dua hal yang dapat diidentifikasi –sejauh penelusuran penulis- mengenai upaya
mengaktualisasikan ideologi keterbukaan ini: 1.) mengoptimalkan komunikasi dua arah melalui sarana media sosial;
2.) rekruitmen caleg secara terbuka.
Mulai dari poin pertama, komunikasi dua arah ini sejak awal coba dibangun PSI dengan memanfaatkan
kondisi zaman yang berubah (digitalisasi masyarakat). Ketika media sosial yang sifatnya dua arah telah menjamur di
tengah masyarakat –khususnya masyarakat urban- maka PSI tidak menyia-nyiakan kemudahan tersebut dan
menjadikan media sosial sebagai salah satu saran terpenting untuk membuka diri dan menerima berbagai masukan
dari masyarakat64. Sifat media sosial yang memungkinkan komunikasi dua arah secara murah tentunya menjadi

peluang tersendiri bagi PSI untuk membranding partainya. Terlebih anggota PSI tidak akan kesulitan menggunakan
media sosial karena mayoritas anggotanya juga bagian dari generasi milenial itu sendiri yang sudah melek teknologi.
Melalui berbagai lini media sosial yang notabene paling dikenal di kalangan masyarakat luas seperti
facebook, Twitter, Youtube, dan instagram PSI berupaya memasyarakatkan dirinya, gagasannya, dan tentu saja
membuka diri untuk berinterkasi dengan masyarakat. Ambil contoh dalam Facebook milik PSI, terlihat jelas
bagaimana PSI sebisa mungkin merespon bergai pertanyaan atau antusiasme publik terhadap satu isu tertentu yang
dimunculkan dalam facebook resmi partai tersebut. Sebagai contoh dapat dilihat dari gambar 1.1 berikut ini :
Gambar 1.165
Dari gambar diatas terlihat jelas bahwa PSI berupaya merespon berbagai komentara yang masuk ke halaman resmi
Facebook mereka. Terlihat jelas ketika menjawab komentar dari berbagai netizen, PSI selalu selalu menjawab dengan
nada sopan dan bahkan selalu menyebut nama sang pemberi respon/masukan/kritik/pertanyaan. Dengan cara ini
sbenarnya PSI juga berupaya membangun relasi yang lebih intim dengan sang netizen itu sendiri. Karena tentunya
dengan memposisikan sebagai pihak yang mau menerima kritik, terbuka untuk berbagai komentar termasuk pula
dengan cara membalas pesan secara elegan diharapkan makin banyak masyarakat yang simpatik pada partai ini66.
Terlepas dari kepentingan elektoral, sistem komunikasi dua arah ini terbilang cukup maju dibandingkan
dengan partai lainnya yang mungkin hanya memposting satu isu saja tanpa mau menanggapi respon dari netizen di
halaman Facebook atau media sosial lainnya tersebut. Disini ideologi keterbukaan nampak jelas berupaya dihadirkan
secara nyata oleh PSI.
Termasuk dari upaya keterbukaan dengan membangun komunikasi dua arah ini secara nyata dapat disaksikan
dalam langkah terkini PSI yang mendaftarkan gugatannya terhadap UU MD3 ke Mahkamah Konstitusi. Sebagaimana
diketahui bersama UU MD 3 yang beru menjadi kontroversi di mata publik karena rentan menjadikan anggota dewan

kebal terhadap kritik. Sebagai partai populis dan anti sktruktur lama tentunya PSI juga tergerak untuk melawan UU
tersebut.
Menariknya sebelum PSI menempuh langkah hukum, partai ini membuka polling yang dilakukan di berbagai
media sosial miliknya untuk menjaring pendapat rakyat dan anggota PSI dari berbagai daerah untuk memilih sikap
politik tertentu. Ternyata hasil polling tersebut menunjukkan publik dan anggota sepakat memperkarakan UU tersebut
ke MK67.
Langkah PSI tersebut jelas meunjukkan spirit keterbukaan (dialog 2 arah) dilakukan secara nyata bukan
sekedar retorika belaka. Di sini rakyat memiliki suara yang harus menjadi pertimbangan partai dalam mengambil
sikap. Sehingga partai tidak boleh lagi “imun” terhadap pengaruh “luar” tersebut.
Selain berupaya membangun dialog dua arah antara partai dengan rakyat, PSI juga memperkenalkan
terobosan baru dalam persoalan rekturitmen caleg mereka guna menyelaraskannya dengan ideologi keterbukaan
tersebut. Caranya ialah bakal calon yang akan diusung PSI harus melalui serangkaian proses.
Menariknya sejak fase pendaftaran PSI berupaya untuk memastikan prosesnya berlangsung seara terbuka
tidak ada yang ditutup-tutupi. Baik kepada bakal calon maupun pada masyarakat luas. Pada fase pertama misalnya,
yakni pendafaran siapapun bisa mendaftar secara mudah lewat mekanisme formulir online yang bisa diakses dalam
website mereka68. Jika tidak bisa mendaftar lewat fasilitas online PSI juga menyediakan kantor mereka di berbagai
wilayah untuk menerima pendaftaran.
Setelah pendaftaran inilah ada fase menarik yakni fase seleksi. Layaknya acara televisi semacam Indonesian
Idol disana para bakal calon akan menjalani tes wawancara secara live (lewat media sosial PSI) sehingga prosesnya
dapat disaksikan oleh seluruh rakyat Indonesia69. Begitu pula dengan para penilainya, meskipun tentunya ada dari
pihak PSI –seperti Grace Natalie- tetapi kebanyakan penilai adalah orang luar yang bukan anggota PSI (alias
independen). Nama-nama besar yang dikenal publik memiliki kapasitas menilai seperti Mahfud MD, Zainal Arifin
Mochtar, Bibit Samad Rianto misalnya ambil bagian sebagai juri para bakal calon legistatif tersebut70.
Meskipun tentunya berbeda dengan sistem Indonesian idol dan semacamnya dimana ada vote dari publik,
sistem rekruitmen PSI ini masih sepenuhnya mengandalkan otoritas juri penilai untuk memutuskan apakah calon
layak untuk menjadi calon legislatif mereka atau tidak. Akan tetapi dengan model rekruitmen yang cukup terbuka
semacam ini sejatinya publik dapat menilai apakah sang calon tersebut layak atau tidak. Termasuk saat sang calon
tersebut dinyatakan gagal atau berhasil, maka publik dengan mudah dapat menilai sendiri apakah penilaian PSI
tersebut sudah obyektif atau tidak.
Dengan kata lain PSI –dan tentunya para juri- mempertaruhkan nama baiknya sendiri ketika memilih
meloloskan calon yang dinilai publik tidak pantas untuk menang atau tidak meloloskan calon yang sejatinya layak
diusung. Hal ini sebagaimana kontrol publik dapat dalam berbgaai acara entertainment semacam Indonesian Idol.
Sebaliknya ketika penilaian PSI dianggap publik benar-benar tepat tentunya akan menambah kepercayaan publik pada
partai tersebut.
Berlanjut pada poin kedua, yakni progresif. Arti progresif disini ialah mengikuti kemajuan zaman, bahkan
sebisa mungkin justru menjadi tonggak perubahan sejarah itu sendiri. Dengan kata lain PSI ingin membranding
partainya sebagai partai yang pro kemajuan, pro perubahan, dan pro inovasi. Tentunya jika dipertautkan dengan
perkembangan zaman kontemporer yang bercirikan digitalisasi masyarakat atau “zaman now” maka tentunya PSI

akan menyesuaikan diri dengan spirit zaman ini, bahkan menjadi yang terdepan dalam menggelorakan spirit zaman
digital ini.
Branding ini tentunya untuk mengkontraskan partainya dengan partai lain yang layaknya “fosil” yang tidak
mampu menyesuaikan dengan zaman. Pro dengan status quo, tidak mau beranjak melewati zona aman yang saat ini
dinikmati mereka. Sebagaimana ucapan Grace Natalie sikap konservatif partai lain ini sejatinya adalah“musuh utama
kemajuan peradaban”71.
Aspek progresivitas PSI sendiri sejatinya sebagiannya telah disinggung pada pembahasan sebelumnya. Upaya
membangun komunikasi dua arah termasuk dalam mengeluarkan sikap politik sejatinya adalah bentuk nyata
progresivitas tersbeut. Termasuk juga rekruitmen caleg yang terbuka merupakan bentuk progresivitas itu sendiri.
Tentunya selain dua bentuk progresivitas diatas, PSI juga melakukan sejumlah gebrakan untuk menjadikan
partai yang progresivitas, semisal dalam fase perekrutan anggota maupun arah/platform kebijakan yang akan mereka
perjuangkan jika mendapatkan posisi dalam parlemen atau pemerintahan. Dalam fase perekrutan misalnya PSI
membuat prasyarat yang unik, dimana memprioritaskan anggotanya memiliki batas usia di bawah 45 tahun72. Dengan
kata lain PSI ingin kaum muda yang selama ini sebagai entitas kolektif dimarginalkan oleh partai politik lama menjadi
tulang punggung PSI di masa depan.
PSI sendiri berupaya mewacanakan bahwa kebijakan pembatasan usia ini bukannya karena membenci
generasi tua, hanya saja PSI menganggap bahwa di tangan kaum muda itulah masa depan negeri ini seharunya
diserahkan73. Nampak jelas nuansa progresif dalam artian menyesuaikan dengan paradigma zaman now yang
menempatkan kaum muda dalam posisi sentral zaman ini karena merekalah yang generasi yang paling melek
teknologi, paling berpendikan, dan paling inovatif74.
Tidak hanya syarat umum berupa usia muda, PSI juga berupaya memaksimalkan keterlibatan kaum wanita
muda untuk berkiprah di partai tersebut. Sehingga tidak heran ketika menyimak hasil verifikasi faktual partai oleh
KPU, PSI dinobatkan partai dengan keterwakilan perempuan –di tingkat pusat- tertinggi mengalahkan partai lainnya
yakni 66,66 %75.
Dari pencapaian tersebut sejatinya dapat ditarik kesimpulan bahwa PSI memang berupaya merealisasikan ide
progresif yang diusungnya. Bahkan tidak tanggung-tanggung, PSI bahkan berupaya memaksa partai lain untuk
mereformasi diri sehingga memastikan perempuan mendapatkan keterwakilan yang memadahi.
PSI sendiri berupaya mendorong persyaratan keterwakilan sebesar 30% tidak hanya berlaku di tingkat pusat
pusat saja tetapi hingga ke level yang paling rendah76. PSI sendiri memlilih jalan menggugat ke MK untuk
mewujudkan impiannya. Walaupun MK akhirnya menolak gugatan PSI77, namun dari kacamata konsistensi PSI
dengan memperjuangkan ide progresivitas, dimana nampak jelas bahwa PSI mendorong transformasi ke arah
progresivitas seluas mungkin jika memungkinkan.

Lebih mengejutkan lagi ketika PSI memasang syarat unik bagi siapapun –termasuk kaum muda- jika ingin
bergaung dengan partai tersebut yakni tidak pernah menjadi pengurus harian partai politik apapun alias masih
“murni”. Syarat ini terbilang unik, karena di mata PSI pengurus partai lama sudah “tercemar” atau “kotor”, atau dalam
bahasa PSI “tidak mungkin membangun sesuatu yang baru dari bahan yang lama78”. Dengan kata lain sebagai
komitmen pada progresivitas
Sebenarnya jika ditinjau secara kritis, syarat yang ditetapkan PSI ini terbuka untuk dipertanyakan. Karena
belum tentu orang yang pernah bergabung dengan suatu partai lalu dirinya disimpulkan sudah “tidak bersih lagi”. Bisa
jadi orang tersebut dahulu juga muak dengan partai lama dan melihat ada peluang pada partai X tetapi ternyata di
kemudian hari ia kecewa karena partai X saja saja. Atau ada pula kemungkinan orang partai lama yang “bersih”
namun pada saat itu hanya tersedia kendaraan politik semacam itu. Sementara dia punya keyakinan seperti orangorang PSI sekarag ini bahwa kita tidak boleh apatis sehingga ia meemilih bergabung dengan partai lama tersebut
untuk tujuan perbaikan. Ketika melihat PSI ia melihat bahwa ada kendaraan baru yang lebih layak untuk didukung.
Bahkan jika merujuk pada sikap PSI sendiri yang mendukung Ahok misalnya, bukankah jelas Ahok itu
termasuk orang yang “gonta ganti” partai. Bahkan pernah masuk dalam partai lama yang identik dengan Orde Baru
yakni Golkar? Namun PSI melihat bahwa Ahok tidak larut dengan kultur lama tersbeut bahkan Ahok dinobatkan PSI
sebagai salah satu tokoh populis yang perlu didukung. Sehingga bukankah ini membuktikan orang yang mempunyai
jejak masa lalu di partai tidak pasti “kotor” jika menggunakan kriteria PSI sendiri?
Tetapi memang sikap “radikal” PSI ini bisa dimaklumi jika melihat konteks apatisme masyarakat yang tinggi
terhadap dunia politik dan partai politik. Ketika ada orang lama yang masuk ke PSI memang bisa timbul kecurigaan
dari amsyarakat bahwa partai ini hanya daur ulang partai lama dengan nama berbeda saja. Sehingga mereka tetap
apatis dan memilih meinggalkan PSI. Mungkin kekhawatiran itulah yang ingin disingkirkan sejauh-jauhnya oleh PSI
sehingga mereka memilih cara radikal ini.
Tetapi tidak bisa dipungkiri pilihan sikap “radikal” dalam penyaringan anggotanya ini jelas menunjukkan
bahwa PSI tidak ingin terikat dengan masa lalu yang kadung dipandang jelak oleh masyarakat. PSI tidak mau
menanggung beban masa lalau yang setiap saat bisa menghalangi perkembangan PSI di masa depan. Dengan kata lain
“radikalisme” ini dapat dibaca sebagai komitmen mereka pada ide progresivitas.
Progresivitas ini tidak hanya bisa ditemukan pada sistem rekruitmen anggota. Sebagaimana dinyatakan
sebelumnya dari platform kebijakan yang akan mereka perjuangkan juga dapat kita saksikan jejak progresivitas
tersebut. Ambil contoh platform ke 8 mereka yakni menegnai hubungan internasional79.
Dalam platform tersebut ada sejumlah isu yang mereka garisbawahi seperti masalah relasi dengan China,
ASEAN, Australia, dan bahkan isu Dwi kewarganegaraan. Satu ide besar yang menjadi pedoman PSI dalam
menawarkan solusi hubungan internasional tidak lain adalah interkoneksi. Sementara interkoneksi sendiri
mensyaratkan runtuhnya batas-batas yang ketat antar suatu entitas –dalam konteks hubungan internasional berarti
batas antar negara-.
Dikarenakan interkoneksi menjadi pedoman dalam bersikap maka wajar jika PSI menyatakan dalam
platformnya bahwa relasi dengan China, ASEAN, Australia perlu dibuka seluas-luasnya bahkan dalam konteks
ASEAN keterbukaan itu perlu didorong dalam level interaksi individual antar negara ASEAN.
Sebagaimana pula dengan isu dwi-kewarganegaraan, PSI dengan lantang mendukung status dwi
kewarganegaraan. Alasannya mudah ditebak, keterbukaan dan mobilitas (dengan kata lain interkoneksi antar negara)
merupakan ciri “zaman now”.

Memang tidak dapat dipungkiri interkoneksi adalah spirit mendasar dari zaman digital atau “zman now”
sekarang ini. Internet sebagai jantung dari media sosial itu sendiri dibangun berdasarkan logika interkoneksi, dengan
kata lain keterbukaan dan interaksi bukan ketertutupan. Sehingga dapat dikatakan bahwa platform PSI ini tidak lain
adalah upaya ekspansi logika berfikir zaman now atau era digitalisasi masyarakat sebagai pijakan dalam membangun
kebijakan publik. Sehingga jika dikaitkan dengan ide progresivitas –yang juga merujuk pada “zaman now”- maka PSI
nampaknya benar-benar menghayati ide ini.
Berlanjut pada poin ketiga, yakni “itu kita” (solidaritas). Poin ini sejatinya unik karena solidaritas yang
dimaksud disini ternyata merujuk pada upaya rasional PSI dalam mempertautkan cita-cita mereka (idealisme) dengan
realitas. Maksudnya seorang boleh memiliki cita-cita sehinggi langit –begitu pula PSI- tetapi cita-cita tersebut
tentunya harus juga menimbang realitas apakah mungkin dilaksanakan dalam waktu dekat misalnya. Dengan kata lain
ide yang ingin dibangun ialah kita boleh bercita-cita tetapi juga harus paham keadaan kita saat ini.
Untuk lebih memahami poin ini ada baiknya kita mengutarakan tafsir menurut pimpinan PSI (Grace Natalie)
sendiri:
Meskipun kita TERBUKA dan PROGRESIF, namun PSI juga sadar bahwa sebagai partai politik yang moderen,
PSI tidak boleh meloncat melampaui kenyataan-kenyataan sosial dan ekonomi bangsa dan negara Indonesia.
Karenanya PSI mencantumkan kata “ITU KITA” sebagai identitas ketiga. KITA disini bermakna Solidaritas,
kebersamaan, perbedaan yang toleran satu dengan yang lain. Ringan sama dijinjing, berat sama dipikul. Berdiri
sama tinggi duduk sama rendah. Saat dibelakang mendorong, saat didepan mencerahkan saat ditengah PSI
harus bisa menggerakkan kekuatan terbaik rakyat dan bangsa ini untuk maju mencapai cita-cita
kemerdekaannya80.
Sangat jelas dari penuturan Grace Natalie, bahwa solidaritas disini dimaknai bahwa dunia ini atau negara ini bukan
hanya milik kita saja, tetapi juga ada orang lain yang tidak sepemahaman dengan kita. Tentunya untuk mengusahakan
perubahan pasti akan bersinggungan dengan orang lain tersebut. Maka kita harus mengukur diri kita sebelum
melaksanakan perubahan karena dibutuhkan kekuatan yang tidak sedikit untuk mengubah tatanan yang mungkin
dirasa orang lain tersebut sudah ideal tidak perlu dirubah.
Mungkin timbul pertanyaan apakah poin ketiga ini menegasikan poin pertama dan kedua yang begitu
optimistis untuk mengawal perubahan sementara poin ketiga ini nampaknya bernada “pesimistis”. Sebenarnya tidak
juga jika mencermati bagaimana PSI mengaplikasikan poin ketiga ini di lapangan.
Merujuk pada sikap PSI mendukung Jokowi, Ahok, atau yang terkini dimana PSI mendukung sejumlah
pemimpin yang maju dalam pemilihan kepala daerah tahun 2019 ini seperti Ganjar merupakan aplikasi dari poin
ketiga ini. Sebagaimana diterangkan oleh Grace Natalie sebenarnya kalau bisa tentu PSI ingin mengusung calon
kepala daerahnya sendiri termasuk nantinya calon presiden sendiri. Dengan kata lain inilah cita-cita/ idealisme PSI.
Akan tetapi idealisme ini tidak bisa dilakukan karena ada realitas yang tidak mendukungnya yakni baru pertama kali
melaju dalam pemilu sehingga PSI tidak punya suara sama sekali untuk mengusung calon81. Disinilah perubahan
terkendala realitas, dan tentunya tidak bisa dipaksakan karena tidak punya kekuatan yang memadahi.
Kira-kira hasil “sintesis” idealisme dan ralitas ini menghasilkan sikap politik PSI untuk mendukung calon
yang menurut mereka paling layak diantara calon yang lain. Setidaknya ada perbaikan ke arah yang lebih baik sekecil
mungkin. Maka tidak heran ketika kemudian PSI turut mendukung sejumlah nama yang dianggap pro kemajuan
tersebut di sejumlah wilayah.
Hasil “sintesis” nnyata inilah yang bisa kita maknai sebagai solidaritas itu sendiri karena ketika mendukung
nama-nama tertentu semaisal Jokowi, Ahok, Ganjar yang merupakan claon partai lain maka otomatis mereka bisa
membangun solidaritas dengan partai pengusungnya untuk memenangkan sang calon. Dengan kata lain ada
kemungkina membangun solidaritas dengan pihak lain jika sejalan dengan cita-cita PSI.

Walaupun tentunya sebagaimana dinyatakan sebelumnya, sejatinya bukan partai tapi figur pro kemajuan
itulah yang didukung PSI. Sehingga kerjasama itu tidak menghilangkan watak konfrontatif PSI dengan partai lain
sebagai sebuah institusi lama yang harus “pensiun”.
Kedua, mengenai pendanaan partai. Pendanaan partai memang menjadi salah satu permasalahn akut yang
melanda partai politik saat ini. Karena melalaui pendanaan partai itulah partai dapat melaksanakan serbagai
aktivitasnya. Ironisnya demi survivalitas partai tersebut tidak jarang partai memilih berbagai jalan ilegal untuk
membiayai partai mereka. Sebut saja temuan ICW mengenai pendanaan ilegal dan korupsi sebagai sumber pemasukan
partai82.
Korupsi misalnya terjadi ketika para anggota legislatif atau eksekutif yang berasal dari partai tertentu diminta
oleh partainya untuk membiayai kehidupan partai tersbeut. Tidak jarang anggota legislatif atau pejabat anggota partai
tersebut harus melakukan bebrgaai praktik korupsi agar dapat meemnuhi permintaan partai.
Begitu pula sumbangan ilegal yang didapatkan partai dari sumber-sumber perorangan atau perusahaan
tertentu. Imbalannya tentu perusahaan atau perorangan tersebut akan mendapatkan dukungan dari partai. Maka tidak
jarang kongkalikong bisnis dan parpol dan mengkhianati janji rakyat seringkali etrjadi karena alasan ini.
Tidak hanya masalah pemasukan, peruntukan dan tentunya akuntabilitas keuangan ini juga di mata ICW
bermasalah83. Akuntabilitas yang bermasalah sejatinya merupakan keniscayaan karena jika dana tersebut dibuka maka
publik bisa menilai betapa kotornya parpol selama ini karena pendapatannya banyak dari jalur ilegal.
Sementara soal peruntukan ini ternyata tidak luput dari permasalhan. Seharusnya dana dikelola secara
profesional untuk mepentingan partai, tetapi faktanya menurut ICW seringkali dana ini justru mengalir ke kantong
ketua umum, wakil ketua umum atau sekjen parpol84. Sehingga wajar ketika jabatan tersebut diperebutkan karena
merupakan “lahan basah”. Intinya bukan demi kepentingan partai, tetapi uang tersbeut justru mengalir untuk
membiayai kepentingan personal.
Kesimpulan yang bisa ditarik dari penjelasan diatas ialah pendanaan menjadi krusial untuk memastikan partai
tetap berada di jalurnya dan tidak merugikan rakyat akibat potensi korupsi dan kongkalikong mereka dengan kalangan
bisnis atau personal lainnya. Sehingga ketika PSI ingin mengambil jalan populis tentu mereka harus menghapus
struktur lama ini. Belum lagi jika dikaitkan dengan “zaman now” yang menekankan pada keterbukaan. Isu
akuntabilitas menajdi krusial disini untuk memastikan bahwa publik paham apa yang terjadi.
Sebagai upaya menyesuaikan diri dengan tuntutan zaman now dan ide populisme, PSI merancang berbagai
ide yang unik ntuk menyelesaikan problem pembiayaan partai ini. Salah satu ide yang perlu untuk diangkat dalam
tulisan ini ialah mengenai kartu sakti.
Kartu sakti sendiri merupakan terobosan paling baru dari PSI untuk mendanai aktivitas partainya. Kartu Sakti
sendiri adalah singkatan dari Kartu Solidaritas Anti Korupsi dan Intoleransi. Kartu ini diklaim oleh Grace selain akan
membuat pendanaan partai bersih dari unsur korupsi dan pendanaan ilegal lainnya namun juga memastikan partai
menjadi milik publik bukan tokoh atau keluarga tertentu saja85.
Hal ini dapat terjadi karena setiap pemilik kartu mendapatkan hak suara untuk menentukan arah partai.
Dengan cara itulah publik bisa mengontrol kinerja partai setiap saat. Karena PSI mengklaim dengan memiliki kartu
itu, sang pemilik akan diikutsertakan dalam berbagai aktivitas maupaun mengambilan keputusan partai. Grace Sendiri

mencontohkan misalkan soal debat impor beras. Apakah nantinya PSI akan mendukung atau menolak itu, para
pengguna kartu dapat berkontribusi untuk memberikan argumen dan sikapnya. Nantinya sikap itulah yang akan
diambil partai86. Tentu saja cara berinteraksi antara partai dan masyarakat pemegang kartu itu akan dimediasi lewat
media sosial sehingga praktis dan dapat dipantau setiap saat.
Dalam website resmi PSI sendiri disebutkan dengan cara pembelian kartu sakti inilah relasi timbal balik
antara publik dan partai dapat dibangun dengan baik. Partai membutuhkan dana dan masyarakat butuh kinerja partai
yang merepresentaikan kehendak mereka, bukan kehendak elit87. Sehingga dengan cara inilah masing-masing pihak
dapat salaing menopang sehingga melahirkan apa yang diistilahkan ilmuwan politik sebagai party id (party
identification)88.
Sampai saat ini Grace Natalie mengungkapkan bahwa sekitar 600 ribu orang sudah memiliki kartu Sakti ini.
Dana yang diperolah dari penjualan kartu sakti sendiri sampai saat ini mencapai Rp 2.484.555.88989. PSI sendiri
menargetkan 1 juta orang akan membeli produk mereka ini dalam jangka waktu satu tahun. Harapannya di tahun 2019
PSI sudah bisa mengumpulkan dana 1 triliun rupiah, yang nantinya dipergunakan sebagian besar untuk kepentingan
pemilu90.
Terkait dengan kartu sakti ini sejatinya memang merupakan terobosan yang luar biasa, terlebih tidak hanya
menggabungkan unsur populisme dimana partai ingin keluar dari struktur korup dan elitis tetapi juga menerapkan
spirit zaman now yang berbasiskan pada teknologi dan mendukung keterbukaan. Nampak bahwa PSi mampu meramu
semua tuntutan zaman tersebut dengan sangat baik.
Hanya saja perlu diberikan catatan tersendiri mengenai kartu Sakti ini, dimana PSI mengklaim dengan
memiliki kartu sakti ini maka dia dapat berkontibusi menentukan arah “berlayarnya” partai. Namun kartu ini memiliki
kelemahan karena sebagaimana dinyatakan oleh Grace Natalie sendiri menyasar kelas menengah. Lalu pertanyaannya
bagaimana masyarakat kelas bawah yang tidak memiliki kartu? Bagaimana dengan masyarakat yang mungkin
tergolong kelas menengah namun tidak masuk dalam generasi milenial –sehingga notabene lebih “gaptek” soal
mengoperasikan teknologi-? Termasuk juga bagaimana masyarakat secara umum yang tidak masuk ke dalam PSI tapi
ingin memberikan masukan-masukan?
Memang benar bahwa PSI telah membuka ruang dialog yang seluas-luasnya pada masyarakat saat ini.
Tetapi apakah dnegan hadirnya kartu sakti mereka akan dinomerduakan? Patut diingat bahwa jika itu yang terjadi
bisa-bisa peluang PSI untuk mendapatkan simpati yang lebih luas bisa tergerus karena dianggap kembali ke jalur yang
eksklusif. Dimana hanya yang mampu “bayar” yang didengarkan suaranya.
Menghadapi pertanyaan diatas nampaknya PSI harus mampu meyakinkan publik bahwa siapa saja yang
bukan pemegang kartu sakti juga diberikan ruang untuk terus memberikan kritik, masukan, dan bahkan dimintai
pendapatnya soal kebijakan yang kan diambil PSI. Sebenarnya hal ini sangat mungkin di era digital semacam ini.
Misalkan bisa dibuat dua macam polling, dimana polling pertama menyasar anggota PSI termasuk juga pemegang
kartu sakti, sedangkan publik juga tetap didengar pendapatnya lewat polling kedua. Dengan cara itu PSI justru
semakin diuntungkan karena dinilai semakin banyak menyerap aspirasi publik sehingga simpati kepadanya
bertambah.
Lau bagaimana dengan pemegang kartu sakti yang tentunya mengharapkan yang “lebih” dibandingkan
dengan orang yang tidak menyumbang? Pertama, dijelaskan dalam website PSI sendiri bahwa selain manfaat politik
pemegang kartu sakti akan mendapatkan manfaat tambahan seperti community channel. Dimana misalnya disebutkan
pemegang kartu dapat menawarkan keahlian dan produk/jasa kepada anggota komunitas PSI & memiliki kesempatan

untuk membangun komunitas online di teman.psi.com91. Kira-kira fasilitas tambahan inilah yang bisa dioptimalkan
sehingga mereka bisa tergerak untuk menyumbang. Kedua, sebagai penyumbang secara spiritual sejatinya ia sudah
mendapat kepuasan tersendiri karena dirinya yang memiliki kelebihan dalam penghasilan mampu berkontribusi
membangun Indonesia lebih baik. Jiwa filantropis semacam ini sejatinya juga tinggi di indonesia, sehingga mereka
justru senang akan membesarkan partai yang dianggap memiliki komitmen tinggi untuk mewujudkan kedaulatan
publik di bumi Indonesia.
Ketiga, mengenai struktur partai. PSI sendiri berupaya membranding partainya sebagai “kendaraan yang
terbuka”92. Maksudnya ialah berbeda dengan partai yang lain yang cenderung hierarkis dan elitis, maka dalam konteks
PSI segela bentuk hierarkis dan elitisme dipangkas semaksimal mungkin. Hal ini sangat beralasan sebab sikap antipati
masyarakat terhadap partai harus direspon dengan pembenahan yang radikal jika ingin menarik simpati masyarakat
yang terlanjur benci dengan partai tersebut. Terlebih lagi bagi “generasi now” yang notabene sangat menentang segala
bentuk struktur hierarkis, karena bayangan abad digital adalah kebebasan dan kesetaraan.
Sebagaimana telah disinggung sebelumnya ada sejumlah langkah PSI untuk menciptakan partai yang tidak
bercorak elitis dan hierarkis semaksimal mungkin. Pertama, melalui aspek pembiayaan partai. Sebagaimana
dijelaskan sebelumnya dengan mengandalkan dana publik semsial lewat kartu sakti, harapannya tidak ada person atau
lembaga tertentu yang mendapatkan keistimewaan dalam mengarahkan partai. Melalaui kartu sakti elitisme dapat
direduksi dengan menghadirkan publik yang akan terus mengontrol dan berkontribusi terhadap setiap gerak gerik
partai.
Langkah kedua, ketiadaan tokoh sentral dalam partai tersebut. Hal ini berulangkali ditegaskan oleh Grace
Natalie misalnya di berbagai ksempatan bahwa partainya memang meniadakan tokoh 93. Berbeda dengan partai lain
yang mengistimewakan “darah biru” yang dimiliki seseorang -sehingga ia dapat menduduki posisi sentral dalam
partai-, maka di dalam PSI tidak ada pengistimewaan berbasis “darah biru” atau modal yang besar94.
Memang jika kita mencermati “muka-muka” anggota dan pengurus PSI yang seringkali menyapa publik, kita
tidak akan dapatkan nama-nama tersebut terkait dengan latar belakang “darah biru” dari yang bersangkutan. Sebut
saja Tsamara Amany, seorang pengurus PSI yang kini namanya cukup terkenal. Apakah Amany dikenal karena
“darah biru” dalam dunia politik? Amany jelas berbeda dengan Gus Dur atau Megawati misalnya yang menjadi tokoh
sedikit banyak karena “darah birunya”. Megawati karena ia merupakan puteri Soekarno, tokoh legenderis di
Indonesia. Begitu pula dengan Gus Dur yang merupakan cucu dan anak dari tokoh legendaris NU Hasyim Asyari
(kakeknya) dan Wahid Hasyim (ayahnya).
Perlu ditegaskan bahwa bukan berarti tulisan ini ingin melecehkan Megawati ataupun Gus Dur, tetapi hanya
ingin menegaskan bahwa mungkin tokoh seperti Gus Dur tidak akan terkenal seperti sekarang di tubuh NU jika tidak
memiliki darah Kyai khos (sepuh/dituakan). Tren ini faktanya juga menurun pada anak-anak Gus Dur seperti Yenny
Wahid yang kini menjadi tokoh baru. Seorang Yenny tidak akan menjadi Yenny jika tidak ada garis keturunan Gus
Dur. Sangat mungkin ada kader NU lain yang mungkin juga secemerlang Yenny tetapi sulit untuk muncul ke
permukaan karena tidak memiliki “darah biru” tersebut.
Berbeda dengan sosok Gus Dur, Megawati, atau Yenny Wahid, sosok Amany dapat dikatakan “amatir” dalam
dunia politik. Namun karena perjuangannya sendiri –yang disokong partai tentunya- maka namanya bisa terkenal
seperti sekarang. Jadi poin yang menentukan karir di PSi adalah usahanya sendiri, sementara PSI sendiri memberikan
ruang yang setara bagi anggotanya untuk maju. Sehingga tidak ada pengistimewaan karena soal “darah” tersebut.
Begitu pula soal tokoh yang akan dicalonkan oleh PSI dalam pemilu, PSI tidak mempersiapkan tokoh tertentu
yang digadang-gadang maju dalam pemilu tersebut. Suatu hal yang terbilang menarik karena di Indonesia sendiri ada

tren penciptaan partai karena digunakan oleh tokoh tetrentu demi kepentingan eletoralitas sang tokoh itu sendiri.
Sebut saja Nasdem untuk mengusung Surya Paloh atau yang terbaru seperti Perindo, yang nantinya dipakai sebagai
kendaraan politik Hary Tanoe menggapai kekuasaan.
Sebagaimana dinyatakan oleh Grace Natalie, tokoh yang akan diusung PSI dalam pemilu dikembalikan pada
publik itu sendiri. Sebagaimana kebiasaan PSI yang selalu membuat polling untuk menetapkan satu sikap politik
tertentu yang akan diambil partai, PSI juga akan menjaring suara masyarakat untuk menetapkan mana tokoh potensial
yang dapat didukung PSI untuk menjabat95. Tentunya tokoh tersebut sesuai dengan kriteria PSI yakni progresif adan
populis.
Langkah ketiga, melalui jalur perekrutan, sebagaimana dibahas pada pembahasan sebelumnya, PSI
menetapkan usia maksimal untuk mendaftar anggota PSI dibawah 45 tahun. Jika ditilih dari sisi anti elitisme dan
hierarkis sejatinya kebijakan pembatasan usia ini sangat rasional. Dapat dikatakan usia di bawah 45 tahun adalah usia
muda, sedangkan anak muda cenderung membangun relasi secara lebih cair diantara sesamanya. Apalagi dalam
konteks anak muda “zaman now” dimana spirit untuk berkolaborasi mereka sangat tinggi. Harapannya dengan motor
penggerak partai di tangan “generasi now” itu sendiri maka corak hierarkis akan dapat direduksi semaksimal
mungkin.
Langkah keempat, melalui penggunaan bahasa yang khas. Secara organisatoris PSI tentu harus mengikuti
standar baku yang diatur undang-undang. Sehingga tentu PSI juga memiliki struktur seperti bendahara, ketua umum,
ketua DPP, ketua DPD, dan lain sebagainya. Sebagai organisasi modern terntu pembagian itu juga merupakan
keniscayaan supaya tidak ada yang merangkap jabatan dan akhirnya justru menimbulkan kekeburan fungsi dan tugas
seorang anggota tersebut.
Akan tetapi tidak dapat dipungkiri bahwa struktur organisatoris ini menyimpan masalah karena mengesankan
masih adanya hierarki tajam dalam tubuh partai baru tersebut. Tetapi nampaknya PSI tidak kekurangan ide untuk
menghapus kesan hierarkis dari struktur organisatoris tersebut dengan istilah-istilah/penggunaan bahasa yang khas.
Bisa dicermati dalam website PSI96 maupun dalam berbagai orasi yang dilakukan PSI di hadapan publik bahwa ketika
mereka memanggil rekan-rekannya tidak dengan sebutan “ibu ketua”, “bapak bendahara” dan semacamnya yang
mengesankan hierarki kuasa tetapi dengan bro dan sis97. Bahasa yang lebih egaliter dan juga pastinya sesuai dengan
spirit “zaman now” yang gemar menciptakan perbendaharaan kata tersendiri.
Mungkin terdengar sepele tetapi penggunaan bahasa yang lebih egaliter memiliki efek yang tidak kecil dalam
membentuk relasi. Dengan menggunakan panggilan akrab bro dan sis maka kesan yang muncul ialah interaksi sesama
teman, rekan seperjuangan. Bukan antara atasan dan bawahan. Sebuah ide yang menarik untuk menghapuskan
hierarki yang ada.
Post Scriptum: Menatap Peluang Baru Deepening Democracy di Abad Digital
Otto Kirchheimer, seorang ilmuwan politik sekaligus anggota Institute of Social reseach (nantinya insititusi
ini lebih dikenal dunia dengan istilah mazhab Franfkurt)98 mengemukakan sebuah tesis terkenal mengenai
terbentuknya apa yang disebut sebagai partai “catch-all”. Kemunculan partai “catch all” sendiri tidak dapat
dilepaskan dari transformasi yang melanda masyarakat eropa sehingga menyebabkan terjadi evolusi di tubuh partai
95
Grace sendiri menyebutkan untuk kepentingan ini PSI bisa bekerjasama dengan lembaga survei. Lihat:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xeYopMfaB7w
96
Dalam web PSI sendiri ketika mencermati halaman struktur pengurus pusat maka yang muncul pertama kali hanya gambar
nama dan foto anggota PSI seperti Grace Natalie dan dengan panggilan bro atau sis saja. Barulah ketika mengklik salah satu
gambar tersebut –misal Grace natalie- akan kita dapatkan posisi dirinya dalam partai. Terlihat jelas upaya membangun kesan
egalitariandalam cara menyajikan struktur kepengurusan partai tersebut. Lihat: https://psi.id/pimpinan-pusat/
97
Istilah bro dan sis ini juga dipakai oleh anggota PSI ketika menyapa publik.

politik. Transfromasi yang dimaksud ialah masuknya masyarakat ke zaman kapitalisme lanjut, abad konsumerisme
(mass consumption/consumerism), dan abad media99.
Perubahan di level masyarakat tersebut tentunya berimplikasi pada banyak hal. Ideologi yang dahulu menjadi
sentral dalam masyarakat –bahkan membilah mereka- menjadi semakin tidak relevan. Kini masyarakat semakin
terhomogenisasi secara budaya –termasuk pemikiran-. Lebih lanjut dengan adanya media, mengubah sama sekali
kultur masyarakat. Melalui media yang menjangkau masyarakat secara luas berbagai informasi –termasuk iklan- dapat
disebarluaskan secara luas dan menembus batas-batas kelas100.
Perubahan ini memiliki konsekuensi besar terhadap partai politik yang saat itu hadir di eropa –yakni partai
massa-. Partai massa sendiri bercirikan dengan komitmennya pada satu golongan di masyarakat –misal kepentingan
kaum buruh-, sangat idelogis, dan memiliki struktur organisasi yang sangat kompleks dan keanggotaan masif pula101.
Wujud partai massa yang ideologis dan kompeks semacam itu memang sangat beralasan jika kita dapat
menempatkannya sesuai konteks waktu dan zaman pada saat itu. Partai ini sendiri muncul dari perubahan di tingkat
masyarakat dimana pada saat itu yang berjaya adalah partai kader yang sangat elitis dan top down. Masyarakat yang
semakin politis dan muak terhadap kekuasaan negara yang didominasi elit mencoba mendobrak keadaan dengan
membuat partai tandingan untuk “menghubungkan” negara dan masyarakat yang tadinya “terputus”102.
Guna mensukseskan tuntutan masyarakat tersebut memang dibutuhkan bentuk partai yang spesifik. Struktur
organisasi yang kompleks dibutuhkan untuk memastikan suara dari bawah dapat diteruskan hingga tingkat atas.
Berbeda dengan partai kader pada saat itu yang lebih cair karena cuma diisi segelintir elit 103. Begitu pula dengan
keanggotaan yang masif dan militan, sebab tanpa anggota yang masif dan militan tersebut partai tidak bisa hidup
karena merekalah yang menjalankan dan membiayai kehidupan partai. Perlu diingat karena partai massa pada
awalnya adalah partai wong cilik maka dibutuhkan keanggotaan yang banyak untuk memastikan pembiayaan
tercukupi104. Berbeda dengan partai kader yang tdiak butuh bayak anggota karena kekaayaan mereka sudah
mencukupi.
Sebagaimana perubahan di masyarakat di masa lalu yang melahirkan partai massa, Otto Kirchheimer juga
melihat perubahan ini kembali terjadi dalam konteks masyarakat yag berubah karena memasuki zaman konsumsi.
Sebagaimana disinggung sebelumnya terjadi deideologisasi dan media menjadi sentral dalam kehidupan masyarakat.
Keadaan tersebut pada akhirnya juga mengguncang eksistensi partai massa. Ketika massa semakin tidak ideologis,
semakin terhomogenisasi, dan semakin “terkooptasi” dengan media maka eksistensi partai massa menjadi semakin
tidak relevan. Partai hanya bisa memilih apakah dia bertahan dengan berbagai kesulitan yang akan dihadapinya –
karena tentunya orang makin malah mendonasikan sumbangan partai misalnya- atau berubah mengikuti keadaan di
masyarakat. Bagi Kirchheimer apa yang terjadi ternyata partai memilih pilihan kedua. Disinilah awal munculnya
partai “catch all”.
Sejatinya jika ditinjau dari sisi idealis atau tidak, partai “catch all” tidaklah ideal. Karena partai ini semakin
tidak jelas idelogisnya dan semakin elitis. Elitis karena partai memilih berlogika seperti korporasi yang menggunakan
media sebagai sarana mereka untuk mendulang suara. Disini elit (lebih spesitifk elit pusat) menjadi “bintang” media
sementara anggota lainnya menjadi lebih tidak signifikan105.

Pemaparan mengenai evolusi partai sebagaimana dikemukakan Kirchheimer diatas mempunyai relevansi jika
dikaitkan dengan pembahasan paper ini yakni mengenai kemunculan PSI di belantika politik Indoensia. Sebagaimana
dijelaskan dalam pembahasan saat ini demokratisasi Indonesia sedang mengalami masalah kemandekan. Adanya
keterputusan sambungan antara negara dan masyarakat.
Partai yang harusnya bisa menjadi penghubung justru larut dengan egonya sendiri dan tidak memikirkan
kehendak masyarakat. Padahal di saat yang sama masyarakat juga mangalami transformasi dengan kehadiran
teknologi canggih. Tranformasi yang serng diistilahkan “digitalisasi masyarakat” atau “zaman now” tersebut
sebenarnya memiliki spirit positif bagi perpolitikan Indonesia karena spirit yang dikandungnya sangat bernuansa
populis: masyarakat yang aktif dan anti terhadap elit.
Analisis Kirchheimer kira-kira dapat dipakai sebagai renungan bersama, terkhusus bagi ilmuwan politik. Di
Eropa ketika partai tidak menghiraukan apa yang terjadi di masyarakat maka mereka potensial tergulung sehingga
mereka merubah dirinya. Keadaan serupa sangat mungkin juga terjadi di Indonesia terlebih di “zaman now” dimana
sentimen anti partai dan anti elits secara umum semakin besar. Golput, calon independen, hingga munculnya berbagai
gerakan sosial non parlementer itu harusnya dibaca sebagai semakin menguatnya kebencian masyarakat pada saluransaluran konvensional.
Jika keterputusan ini terus dibiarkan bukan tidak mungkin akan muncul “benturan” yang semakin keras.
Ambil contoh timur tengah, masyarakat yang semakin terdigitalisasi dan menginginkan perubahan tetapi sistem tidak
meresponnya maka pilihannya sistem tumbang (seperti Mesir) atau rusak-dua-duanya (seperti di Suriah).
Kehadiran PSI yang mengusung ideologi populis merupakan salah satu terobosan untuk mengatasi
keterputusan antara negara dan masyarakat tersbeut, yang tentunya juga potensi meredam potensi benturan yang keras
tersebut. Eksperimen PSI dengan populisme inilah yang menarik sebab di mata masyarakat ia menunjukkan bahwa
partai ternyata bisa berubah. Sedangkan di mata partai lama dia menunjukkan bahwa sudah waktunya kita berubah
jika tidak ingin tergulung oleh zaman.
Hail dari eksperimen populisme ala PSI memang belum bisa kita saksikan secara nyata karena partai ini juga
baru mulai bertarung pada pemilu 2019 ini. Tetapi jika mencermati kemampuan partai untuk lolos verifikasi KPU
menunjukkan bahwa dalam waktu relatif singkat partai ini cukup bisa menjaring massa mereka tersendiri. Bahkan
mengalahkan partai yang usianya lebih lama dari partai mereka seperti PBB yang digawangi oleh tokoh terkenal
yakni Yusril Iza Mahendra. Tentunya capaian ini merupakan salah satu indikasi bahwa eksperiman awal PSI cukup
berhasil. Tentu masih perlu diperhatikan lebih lanjut bagaimana kehadiran dan konsistensi PSI di masa mendatang.
Jika eksperimen PSI ini berhasil dan posisinya menjadi seperti partai massa di masa lalu -sehingga mampu
“mendisrupsi” struktur yang ada- tentu wajah politik di Indonesia akan sama sekali berbeda. Dimana ketersambungan
antara negara dan rakyat bisa diajut kembali, dan suara rayat harus diperhitungkan dalam setiap kebijakan yang
dibuat. Ketika hal tersebut dapat terealisasikan dengan baik tentunya menjadi pertanda yang baik bagi proses
demokratisasi Indonesia ke depannya.

TRANSFORMATION OF MINORITIES IN THE POLITICAL
DEMOCRACY
M. Dian Hikmawan
University of Sultan Ageng Tirtayasa
e-mail : dionk_90@yahoo.com
Majoritarianisme: Monologism in Consensual Democracy Debate
The dominance of majority brings us to the tradition where the problem is solved simply by kategorasi
pluralism domination. This dominance in terms of freedom include physical and non-physical. When we refer to an
idealization in politics consensualdeliberative, deliberative democracy Habermas has not been able to answer the
model of collective consensus (majority), which also agreed to be the domination of the minority, because generally
we understand democracy as a fusion of ideas about the power of the people and the idea of rights individual
guaranteed by the law. The purport is the result of individual discourse soveregnity so that the people understood as a
collection of individuals (Danujaya, 2012: xvi).
Model oppression and domination that took place in the social life is causing a gap, so that people in the
social sphere is divided into majority and minority communities. Some cases in Indonesia describe things that are
coercive and repressive. For example, in the book Human Rights Watch report of 2013 issued by the National
Commission on Human Rights in Indonesia, the report provides an overview of how violence in the name of religion
prevalent in Indonesia between religions majoritarian and minority, when you see the report of the instigators of
equality in Indonesia, namely Equivalent Jakarta Institute released the results of their research are at least about 216
cases of attacks on religious minorities in 2010, 244 cases in 2011 and 264 cases in 2012. This data shows us
bahwasannya least violent minorities on the basis of religious differences continue to increase every year. This means
that there is something social phenomena experienced anomalous error AAU our daily lives in mengahdapi
difference, especially in terms of more private that is religion.
There are other interesting reports regarding issues of discrimination in matters of religion. From the data
released by the Wahid Institute, the organization monitor issues of
human rights violations in Jakarta, documenting bahwasannya least there had been about 92 cases of violation of
freedom of religion and 184 events of religious intolerance in 2011, this event is an increase of 64 cases of violations
of religious freedom and religious intolerance 134 events in 2010. the high rate of violence illustrates that violence
against religious minorities in the category becomes very vulnerable in Indonesia.
In some cases the majority and minorities, discrimination against minorities is not only true, or occurs in the
form of violence or repressive course, But the discrimination that occurs through opportunity to contend for the
minority. Ways of dialogue in resolving problems in the refinement. Because what happens is the domination of the
majority against the minority. We can see in some cases, for example the first minority to blame and succumb to the
situation which is constructed by the majority. In the court-even limited access to justice equivalent in getting
narrowed with all the procedural rules. Should state apparatus as a mediator-was often participate stuck in the
domination of the majority, in the end what happens is not only a space for dialogue that is closed but a form of
discrimination against minority legal entity. The following example of a report written by Human Rights Watch:

..... For example, Ahmadi an preacher in Sukadana, Campaka subdistrict, Cianjur, told Human Rights Watch that the
police suggested that he is out of Sukadana because his presence could provoke anger among Muslims and may
trigger violence ....
In different places there are other events that provide an overview of the negligence of the state apparatus.
...... In Sampang, Madura, in February 2006, four police officers in the district Omben sign a waiver, asking Madura
cleric issued a fatwa prohibiting Shia together. This indicates that the four police officers siding with the majority
Sunni Shia minorities even when pitted intimidation and threats. Police Sampang resort, which oversees Omben
sector, also plays suppress a Shiite cleric to leave their hometown ...
The reason the apparatus that failed to protect religious minorities (in a matter of religion) of physical attacks
vary. In some cases, the state apparatus is colluding with the attackers for reasons of religious, economic, or political;
in other cases, they completely lack of clear instructions from their superiors or feel outnumbered by the militants. In
all cases, it is the
lack of police response reflects the failure of the police to enforce the law and arrest the perpetrators of criminal
offenses. Some of the police officers involved even openly propose Shi'ism prohibited on the island of Madura. The
statement clearly neglecting their responsibilities as law enforcement apparatus, but they are never held accountable.
Monologisme majority against minorities occurs because of domination itself. There are indications that the
use of space by the majority of procedural democracy in resolving a problem. When the dialogue between the
majority and the minority was clogged the procedural democracy through consensus of the majority is always in force
in resolving the problem. Then there is the domination of the majority again. Indications in the use of procedural
democracy and misconceptions about the substance of democracy itself which makes the way of solving the problem
becomes very monologue. Each group or identity in a democratic system must be given the same space or access,
including space equal dialogue. Although similar dialogue spaces not guarantee the achievement of a fair decision,
but at least begin a dialogue that is not dominated by the majority. to guarantee equality in the space of dialogue and
awareness of democracy then when no consensus at least avoid the occurrence of violence (violence) and avoiding the
imposition of the majority against the minority.
Transformation of historicity as Political Processes
Public domain can not be termed as something that the public without the active involvement of the
community. Therefore, the public sphere must always be open access to every member of society. Liberalism is an
ideological guarantee that every individual is free to express issues and opinions that are considered important and
urgent for the government during the response does not injure another individual freedom. The habit of thinking that
is built liberalism makes the particular experience of a group becomes irrelevant to talk about in public, let alone to be
a demand. Hopes for the privilege of government as the dispensation of the bad luck which has long experienced will
be seen as a break through right action other subjects. Sharing the experience of kinship only considered rational by
members of the restricted group. As a result, injustice only group that experienced a problem and not a problem of
collective society. Problem in the community ranges of the power resources and jobs is a problem individual.
Moreover, liberalism also see that particular experience just about attributes. Someone put in the category of a
particular group just because of external see that there is a suitable characteristics of individual categories
(Hikmawan, 2017: 89). These individuals are members of the group as an aggregate, classification ignores the
subjective experience of experiencing "An aggregate is a collection of individuals based on one or more attributes, the
process of aggregate formation occurs from an outside perspective, and do not express the subjective point of
experience social (Young, 2000: 89). The birth of the movements of the black race groups and feminist groups in
Latin America, and gay groups in the period 1960 is proof that injustice beyond distribution problems occur.
Members of these movements demanding justice on the United States government as it has for centuries should
receive unfair treatment of people due to certain stereotypes that are subject to them. Bodily attributes justify by social
practices that restrict self-determination and development (Hikmawan, 2017: 92). In general, these groups can be said

to suffer injustice. If we mentrandensesikan perspective and viewed from the perspective of classical Marxism, the
struggle can be regarded as a struggle of the proletariat against the bourgeois culture because these groups is
complicated access to achieve economic establishment.
However, The view that blacks are criminals, women are internal household welfare committee, and gays are
people with low moral level is the concrete conditions experienced by members of the group. Injustice abstract
concept offered by Marxism obscures the real experience of member groups teropresi. The groups are formed not
merely because both have certain attributes, but more because of the sense of camaraderie (Young, 2000: 44). The
members of a social group are bonded to each other due to feelings of similarity will be experiences by the particular
social response to the attributes possessed. Two people with the same attributes do not necessarily have the same
experience if it is in the context of a different time and space.
Different experiences will result in a different sense of belonging among other social groups. The difference
is the mark that distinguishes a group with other social groups. Humans are born in the world that will never be absent
by fluctuations and found himself living in a social condition and certain cultural norms. Before realizing it, social
conditions are accepted as belonging to them have established ways of thinking and modes of expression of a person.
Similarly, Young described how one can get involved in a group or social groups. Borrowing mindset regarding
keterlemparan Martin Heidegger, one does not choose to enter into a social group, a person finds himself as part of a
specific experience (Young, 2000: 46).
Constitution of a social group in contrast with an organization that is certainly the reason and purpose of its
establishment. Association established on the basis of conscious consent of its members. The vastly different
circumstances show that the anthropological assumptions between social groups and associations across from (Young,
1990: 102). Association constitution is the result of individuals, social groups constitute the opposite individuals
(Young, 1990: 48).
Therefore the association members can not be referenced social experiences based on their respective
associations. For example, the struggle against the practice of apartheid in South Africa, who was born on the fact that
local residents are black mistreatment because of political segregation which is run by the white population
(Hikmawan, 2017:. Explicitly, the movement said they want social change. Things Noteworthy of these examples is
that the group of blacks in South Africa is a social group with experience be subordinated, whereas the struggle
against apartheid as an association also involves the active participation of non blacks, one of which is Frederik
Willem de Klerk - South Africa's president before the leadership Nelson Mandela. the placement of a group on the
stereotypes used to justify subordination can also be revised. State that the position is determined based on
relationships, interactions, and comparison also emphasized the multiplicity of social groups as well as the subject.
Through a different angle, peresepsi and reaction to a social group will also vary. Liquidity of individual identity is
also increasingly evident due to the fact that someone can be in more than one social group.
..... "The view that the group differences in the plural, cross, liquid, and can turn implies another criticism against the
model of self-autonomy, the whole. In a complex society, a society with such a high diversity of our society, everyone
has the identification plural group (Young, 1990: 48).
The opportunity to redefine the position and meaning of the social groups will always be open because of the
state of contingency foundation. However, although this study starts from the problem of the diversity of social
identity in the community, the main problems lies in the whole political dimension. The experience of injustice is
rooted in cultural imperialism, but that does not mean the state is a cultural problem.
The following section will use the framework Kwame Anthony Appiah's mengamblangkan inequality issues
towards social group appointed by Young as a whole political problems. Social identity according to Appiah consists
first of all constituted of labels and social conceptions that are known by the public. "The availability of those terms in
public discourse requires a common understanding of the majority of members of the public that there is such labels at
once a kind of consensus of how to identify these labels to be applied at the relevant (Appiah 2005: 67). The labels are
made they are categorized in a collective identity recognized different from the various aspects of the public.

In addition, the collective identity can not be considered to exist if there is nothing to identify themselves in
that label. "The second element of the social identity of the internalization of the label as part of individual identity at
least for some of which carry the label (Appiah 2005: 68). Accept yourself as part of a collective identity means
constitute the few things of themselves according to the way that identity so different from the other. the last thing
that constitute the social identity according to Appiah is how to behave properly towards that carry the label.
.... "To treat someone as an" L "is doing something that is a part of him, not least because he is an" L "" because he is
a "L" represents the internal specifications of the agent as a reason for his actions (Appiah 2005: 68) . "
Though stereotypes are used as the basis should apply themselves to a collective identity is something that is
only a rough conception and do not have clear boundaries. Ketidakjelasanan limits a collective identity are factors that
make it easier to use as a weapon unilateral view of self-affirmation. The underlying logic is cultural imperialism, that
is, when a social group to compare ourselves to affirm the universality of application of its norms so that
menginferiorkan other social identity in public. Unfortunately, the parties assume that diinferiorkan identity is due to
the social conditions can not resist. As a result, they inevitably incur the label along with the treatment that is
considered the dominant group as it is proper for those who were inferior. This situation is clearly a political issue
because it "comes from the fact that describe the treatment by others, and how the treatment of the other party will
lead the successes and failures in one's life (Appiah 2005: 69).
Transformation Between Approval and Struggle
The deal is very central in the process of deliberative democracy. Process of discourse would not have a
significant impact in justice if it can not result in a decision to solve the problem together. However, joint problems
simply understood as the experience of the problems that are shared problems, problems that are equally experienced,
either real or in analog. The viewing angle was eventually escorted to achieve the common good agreement regarding
the rights of every individual. Have been described in the foregoing discussion that is too focused on reaching
consensus on common rights has a tendency to ignore the various viewpoints and also ignore other problems in
society.
The discourse would involve exchange of ideas. Various claims of ideas about justice delivered to persuade
others to agree with those claims. "Therefore, people are reasonable obliged to persuade others about the claims of
justice hers and showed a willingness to dipersuasi also by others. (Young, 2000: 48). In case of plurality, reasonable
enables all interests have the opportunity to be presented and considered its sustainability by countries. Competition
interest to gain approval by the public in deliberative demokrsasi is commonplace. Therefore, Ideally there should be
no threat to harm or eliminate those who disagree or challenge parties privilege or whose beliefs are dominating or
oppressive or even wrong. (Young, 2000: 49).
Liberal democracy had been a lot of criticism because it restricts reasonable poured only at issue in the realm
of overlapping consensus. Therefore, Young filed a renewal in the understanding of deliberative democracy. The most
important thing in democracy is not the final result of the approval, but the struggle. When in a society there are
different social groups and injustice, democratic political system should be a process of struggle. Not in the view of
the opposition to the opponent, the struggle is a process of communicative engagement between citizens. People of
social position or different interests have to struggle to raise their issues because the other party may feel threatened
by these issues or they think there are other issues that are more important. The democratic process will inevitably
have to recognize and deal with the state of pluralism. Young agreed with Mouffe on agonistic pluralism as the basis
of democracy today. He quoted Mouffe that democracy does not question their right to their own ideas
... ..didasarkan on the distinction between "enemy" (enemy) and "enemies" (adversary). In the context of the whole

that the opposite should be considered not as an enemy to be destroyed but as adversaries whose existence legitimet
and should be tolerated. We will fight against the ideas of theirs but we did not injure his right to maintain its
existence (Mouffe, 1993: 4) ....

Deliberative democracy is the path chosen transformative Young to defend each party in defending the issues
and interests that are considered private. Communication in a democracy is a struggle for others involved in the
debate on private but also social problems and their solutions. The actual effort is an attempt to involve other parties
in clarifying and adjusting to their viewpoint. Deliberative democracy is conceived Young is the transformation of the
private things become eligible for consideration as a public interest justice (Young, 2000: 51). Based on the present
situation which marred the perspective of liberalism, the public sphere is the main thing that requires a transformation
within the various sides to change its capacity so it can accommodate private matters.
Civil Society and the Transformation of the Public Sphere
The public domain is a variable that has a great power in deliberative democracy. With its function as a
supervisor and controller of state policy, the public sphere is actually also serves as the main liaison between the
people and power (Young, 2000: 173). Practice justice received by the people is very dependent on the opinions
submitted by the public opinion. Public opinion is the result of the combination through the screening process and the
synthesis of the various viewpoints in the information and communication network (Habermas, 1996: 360). Ideal
public space is actually freedom for all individuals to be actively involved in the process of formulating public
opinion. Missed consideration is that the filtration and synthesis of information is actually none other than the
contestation of power in the community perspective. Although the formal availability of access for all parties are the
same, the source of wealth, power, influence, and that more information would facilitate access for other parties
(Young, 2000: 171). The hegemony of the dominant group in turn will have implications for the public spaces are no
longer a single ideal fit. Experience injustice of a social group will not be reduced if there is no change in the
constellation of relations in the public sphere. During the publicity in public space access has the priority and public
spaces are considered single, mass communication only takes place in accordance streams with great force. The
process in the public space will never stop even if there are
those who do not participate actively. Although the formal availability of access for all parties are the same, the
source of wealth, power, influence, and that more information would facilitate access for other parties (Young, 2000:
171). The hegemony of the dominant group in turn will have implications for the public spaces are no longer a single
ideal fit. Experience injustice of a social group will not be reduced if there is no change in the constellation of
relations in the public sphere. During the publicity in public space access has the priority and public spaces are
considered single, mass communication only takes place in accordance streams with great force. The process in the

reduced if there is no change in the constellation of relations in the public sphere. During the publicity in public space
access has the priority and public spaces are considered single, mass communication only takes place in accordance
streams with great force. The process in the public space will never stop even if there are those who do not participate
actively. and that more information would facilitate access for other parties (Young, 2000: 171). The hegemony of the
dominant group in turn will have implications for the public spaces are no longer a single ideal fit. Experience
injustice of a social group will not be reduced if there is no change in the constellation of relations in the public
sphere. During the publicity in public space access has the priority and public spaces are considered single, mass
communication only takes place in accordance streams with great force. The process in the public space will never

It received as public opinion will eventually leave the reps publicity. Ignorance of the existence of the

all points of view should exchange ideas in the public sphere, the risk of a perspective not to be considered will
always be there. The freedom to get in and out of engagement in the public sphere was also accompanied by the
possibility to be removed from the communication process, although subtly. The formation of subaltern counterpublics are things that must be accepted as a counterpoint large flow of public space. Members of a social group that
was not heard by the public to find another way to be able to discuss the issues, particularly those close to their lives,
... the counter-publics can provide a place and space for members of the group subordinated to raise the issues
between them and discuss, formulate analysis and their positions, and to develop ways of aesthetic and discursive in
conveying the perspective of their social, separated from the dominant discourse .... . Subaltern counter-publics also
has an important function as a subordinate group members develop ideas, arguments, campaign, protest, intended to
influence public debate in a wider scale, often with the goal of bringing legal or institutional changes(Young, 2000:
172) ......
Activities such resistance is a major contribution to the deliberative democracy. It is appropriate enable and
promote diverse democratic discourse, opposition, forms of expression and debate. The tendency to accept that public
space is a singularity runag or discourse must be expanded by the existence of civil societies. Subaltern counterpublics essentially the equivalent of which is accepted as the dominant public sphere, both are forms of civil society.
The recognition of difference requires the recognition of the functions of civil society. "Civil society is
enabling the emergence of a public space where new social differences can express thoughts and formulate their
opinion (Young, 2000: 155). The alternative to voice calls for justice in a complex society is through civil society.
Awareness of subjects with experience similar to formulate and articulate the experience is the first step in the process
of fighting for social change. While we must feel humiliated and taken right view, in a liberal society (and sometimes
in illiberal society) people who are disadvantaged or marginalized can find each other and form associations to
improve their lives through mutual help and articulation of group consciousness. Although they are short of money,
expertise, and social connections than others, the poor or marginalized can exploit certain resources are owned equally
by all: time. (Young, 2000: 165).
Pinning hopes for social change only on the authority of the state opens great opportunities for
misappropriation of mistreatment. In the 18th century Montesquieu put forward the idea of separation of powers into
three branches, namely the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of government so that no party holds absolute
power. In a democracy needs to be made explicit the role of the main branches of state power, ie the people. The
popular movements into the control and oversight of government in a broader spectrum than just the daily activities of
the country has been run properly according to the rules. The existence of the judiciary only to consider that the
activities of the executive has been as determined by the legislature and not by the people.
Only the aspirations of the people themselves were adequate to oversee that state run according to the needs
of the people. In addition to the weaknesses in the methodology of observation and analysis of the government to the
needs of the people, there will always be the threat of misuse of power. The separation of powers does not rule out the
possibility that it can be done collusion betweenindividual holders of the three powers. Abuse of power to be
systematic and justification can be made legally. Vigilance of the people against the government's actions is one way
to make the country and sets of rules is still oriented to the people. In a society with a free public space that examines
the holder and the institutions of power, it will be difficult for them to act for the benefit of yourself by taking part to
others. Accountability is based on civil public space can help make gestures rulers remain within the law and honesty.
(Young, 2000: 175). The pressure on the government through civil society institutions in the public sphere is a
reminder that in a democracy it is assumed that the state's power comes from the people.
The diversity of civil society is a marker for the institution and the people themselves will challenge the state
of life that is not built on the basis of homogeneity. Communication between civil society activities in the public
sphere is the underlying communicative society. The process of communication between social groups can change the
way of thinking of a group against other groups state that the victim of the practice of equality of distribution.
Contestation of interest include the data that other social groups have been marginalized. The new knowledge can
change the content of public opinion and pressure on the urgency of the social situation that requires state policies.
Deliberative democracy is not able to separate the roles of the people and the government. Synergies are both present

Abstract
The success of Indonesia through the process of political transition with a relatively peaceful way, has brought the
nation of Indonesia into one of the new powers in the calculation for the growth of democracy in the countries of the
world. Reform 98 has marked the turn of the political system from authoritarianism to a democratic system of
government. The role of Islamic groups in guarding the transition process and encouraging democratization in
Indonesia is enormous. NU and Muhammadiyah as the largest mass organization of Islam in Indonesia, became the
representation of Islam demanding the ongoing system of democracy in the practice of life of nation and state. At the
same time, NU and Muhammadiyah leaders and activists continue to consistently disseminate ideas and ideas of
democratization and build critical community groups to control the course of government The conformity of Islam
with the practice of democracy in Indonesia can not be separated from the factors of Islamic values and teachings
that emphasize the spirit of democracy in the context of nation and state. As the spirit of As Shura (musyawarah), al-is
(justice), al-musawa (equality), al-tawazun (tolerance) al-amanah (can be believed) and the other is the Islamic
doctrine in the context of the life of nation and state. From this condition (Countries) Islam and the Indonesian nation
worthy of pride, because Indonesia with the majority Muslim population can be made a model for the growth of
democracy for the countries of the world.
INTRODUCTION
The democratization process that has taken place in various countries of the world including in the Middle
East, has placed Indonesia as the ideal model of democracy for the world's Islamic countries. Post reform 98
Indonesia has been transformed into a stable democratic country, and experiencing significant economic growth.
Prior to the reform process 98, Turkey was often regarded as the ideal model of Muslim democracy.
Although the practice of democracy in Turkey is still dominated by military forces in political practice, but at that
time the experts still regard Turkey as the most democratic Muslim country in the world.
This view began to shift after Indonesia experienced a process of democratic transition from the
authoritarian regime of the New Order to a democratic reformation government. This recognition came directly from
the United States which declared Indonesia as the only Muslim-majority country with a free country status.
Since then, many world leaders have praised the rise of democracy in Indonesia. US Secretary of State
Hillary Clinton called Indonesia a role model of democracy for the Muslim world. While giving a speech at the State
Palace, Clinton said "Indonesia is a model of how Islam, democracy, modernity and women's rights can grow together
and harmonize in a country "(19/02/2009). (Kompas, 19/02/2009). In fact, President Obama in his latest speech at the
UN General Assembly (Tuesday, 20/09/2016) praised Indonesia's democracy as a good example for the democratic
model of the world. Obama stated "Indonesia has successfully made the people as the holder of sovereignty".
(Detiknews, 21 September 2016). This is in line with the rise of the widespread democracy movement in most of the
Islamic countries of the Middle East.

Obama's and Hillary's view that Indonesia is a good example of democracy for Islamic countries is wellfounded: First, Indonesia is the largest Muslim-majority country in the world that has undergone a political transition
from an authoritarian system to a democratic government. Second, Indonesia has maintained political stability and
Third, Indonesia has shown stable economic performance. As Joachin Von Amsberg (World Bank Country Director
for Indonesia) pointed out, Indonesia has recorded good economic growth, after China and India (Kompas.Com.
10/07/2009). This shows the achievement of good and proud democracy, for the effort of democratization in
Indonesia
Principles of Democracy In Islam
Islam as a religion of rahmatanlilalamin (grace for the whole of nature) in which to teach the values of
nation and state, must be able to provide real solutions to every problem that occurs in society. So that the presence of
Islam in the hope really able to give serenity and peace not only for individuals, but for the collective life of nation
and state This is because Islam has the noble ideals to liberate mankind from all forms of arbitrariness and injustice.
Islamic values that rely on the principles of justice and humanity want to form a noble civilization, which aims to
humanize humans so that there is a regular social life that recognizes every individual's rights and common interests.
In Islam many sources and teachings that teach the practice of democracy in the life of nation and state,
even the practice of democracy itself has lasted since the era of leadership of the Prophet Muhammad, to the reign of
khulafaurrasyidin. Where at the time of khulafaurrasyidin in the form of shura (consultative) which is known as ahi
halli wal'aqdi which has a function resembles a team of formats in charge of choosing the head of state or caliph. Here
it is very clear in the early days of Islamic rule the practice of democracy has been implemented in the state system.
The principles of democracy in Islam are as follows:
1. Shura
That is musyawarah. The definition of shura here is a principle about the decision-making procedure explicitly
affirmed in the Qur'an Surat (QS) As Shura: 38 and QS. Ali Imran: 159, which in the verse clearly suggests Muslims
to maintain the method of deliberation in the decision-making process. The principle of deliberation here affirmed in
the holy book of the Qur'an reflects the attitude of Islamic caution, that any decision-making and process of power
must involve public-people. This means that every right of the community can be jointly guarded in every policy
formulation.
2. Al-'Adalah
Al-is or the principle of justice here has the understanding, the importance of upholding justice in a governmental
practice. So the function of government in Islam one of them is the function of justice, where every power or
government must guarantee the upholding of justice in society. Even the message about the importance of justice
enforcement in the practice of government in direct message by Allah SWT in His word, such as in QS. An-Nahl: 90,
QS. As-Syuro: 15, QS. Al-Maidah: 8
3. Al-Musawah
Which means equality. The principle of equality in Islam here has the sense that, no one feels superior to the other, so
as to impose his will with arbitrary. So that in Islam is not justified every power to practice system that hegemony for
the society. So Islam rejects the system of authoritarian and exploitative government, because it is not in line with the
principle of Al-Musawa
4. At-Tawazun
Understanding tawazun here is the importance of the spirit of tolerance in the practice of life of nation and state.
Where Islam really appreciates the differences that exist in the midst of society, because it is a sunnatullah (the will of
Allah SWT), where diversity is a necessity in life that must be accepted by every Muslim. The diversity here is very
complex, ranging from tribe, language, beliefs and so on. The meaning of tolerance here is very important in the
practice of democratic life in Indonesia, because the condition of the pluralistic Indonesian society, whether by tribe,
language, culture, customs, belief / religion until various political ideology.

5. Al-Amanah
It is the attitude of fulfillment of trust that someone gives to others. So every trust or trust given to someone must be
on guard well, no exception trust in government. In the context of nation and state, leaders or governments that have
the mandate of the people to run the government must maintain the trust of the people with full sense of responsibility
in carrying out the goals of government. The issue of trust is related to justice, as affirmed by Allah SWT in QS. AnNisa ': 58
6. Al-Masuliyah
That is, responsibility. Understanding the responsibility in the exercise of power has a double consequence of the
mandate that must be accountable to Allah SWT in the hereafter as well as mandate that must be accountable to the
public, the wider community. So the burden of accountability here is meaningful in, because it deals with the lives of
many people.
7. Al-Hurriyah
It is the spirit of freedom. That is, that every individual, every citizen is given the right and freedom to express his
opinion. As long as it is done in a wise manner, taking into account the principles of akhlakul karimah (good attitudes
and ordinances) and in order to amar ma'ruf nahy munkar (seeking good and preventing on munkar), then there is no
reason for the authorities to prevent it . Even the ones that must be aware of is when there is no party to control over
the implementation of power. Because each power has the potential to abuse the power, so in need of a control
mechanism in the administration of a democratic government.
Of the seven principles of democracy in Islam illustrates, that Islam is very encouraging the process of
democratization in every governance in the life of nation and state. (Umar, Nasarudin Journal of Communication for
Islamic Higher Education, 2002) "Democracy and Deliberation: An Analytical Review".
The Role of Islam in Encouraging Democratization in Indonesia
Islam as the majority religion in Indonesia, has played an important role in encouraging the democratization
process in Indonesia. The existence of NU and Muhammadiyah as representatives of the largest Islamic organizations
in Indonesia is undoubtedly in an effort to strengthen civil society to guard the democratization process. The process
of escorting democratization is not only shown by the figures of both organizations, but institutionally in NU and
Muhammadiyah. The reforming wave of 98 demanding a democratic government demonstrates the magnitude of NU
and Muhammadiyah's role in guarding the transition process in Indonesia, from authoritarian rule under the Soeharto
regime to a more democratic system of government. The presence of Gusdur (Abdurrahman Wahid) as the Chairman
of PBNU and Amien Rais who served as chairman of PP. Muhammadiyah at that time with the student movement 98
has raised public awareness in demanding the running of democratic government. So the process of the current
transition of power from totalitarian rule under the Soeharto regime to a democratic reformation government can go
smoothly.
Efforts to strengthen democratization also continue to do when Gusdur entered the government, where in
the 1999 election Gusdur elected as President and Amien Rais occupied as chairman of the MPR RI. Gusdur's policy
of revoking the dual function of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Indonesia (TNI) which restores the military to
the defense function of the Tengarai as the basic foundation for democratization can actually be realized in the
practice of national and state life. With the return of military power to the State's defense function, civil society
groups again get their role in voicing and participate in determining State policy. Even since the reformation of
various public figures and community groups have established political parties, as a sign of the lack of space for
democratization, in which every society has the same political right to vote and to be elected, both executive and
legislative. The freedom to establish this political party was unprecedented under the rule of the new order in power
for 32 years, since the existence of political parties is restricted and controlled by the State, ie only 3 political parties
are allowed PPP, PDI and Golongan Karya all in control by Soeharto.

From the above conditions shows the great commitment of Islamic figures to realize the efforts of
democratization actually run in the government system in the reform era. Even the effort of Gusdur as the president of
Indonesia at that time to realize democratization in Indonesia must be paid expensive because Gusdur must lose his
power as President of RI due to the democratization process that emphasizes freedom in politics. Political power in
parliament at that time succeeded in political propaganda that led to pelengseran Abdurrahman Wahid from the chair
of the President of the Republic of Indonesia. Although Gusdur must lose his power as president, but the process of
democratization in Indonesia continues to run until now, even has made significant progress in the process of nation
and state. So from here Islamic figures such as Gusdur, Amien Rais, Nurkholis Madjid can be said as a reformer in
the effort to democratize the political system and governance system in Indonesia.
At the same time activists, Individuals and Islamic civil society groups in NU and Muhammadiyah,
undertook the same effort to contribute to enlighten the ummah by promoting democratic ideas among Muslims and
maintaining the independence of civil society as the main pillar supporting the balance of democratic countries. So
many critical groups emerged, both at the central level and in the region as a new era of awareness building
community to participate in controlling the running of government.
The ideas and ideas of democratization which have been built by reforming figures such as Gusdur, Amien
Rais and Nurcholis Madjid against the young activists of the two largest Islamic organizations have led to a
formidable movement movement for the sustainability of the democratization process in the next generation. Young
Islamic activists continue what the reformers have pioneered in building Islamic legitimacy of democratic ideas, but
in a new social movement format that fits the contemporary context. That is a social movement that no longer
emphasizes the struggle of political ideology, but a diverse identity. No longer emphasize the interests of organized
large groups, such as political parties, but the interests and rights of individual citizens, no longer rely on state
support, but rely on self-reliance and autonomy of civil society.
The future of democracy in Indonesia will be largely determined by the efforts of Muslims in developing
and maintaining the consolidation of democracy both at the level of consciousness and democratic practices at two
levels: the state and society.
Discourse Conception of Islam and Democracy: Perception And Discourse
Movement and efforts of democratization in Indonesia certainly can not be separated from the global
social-political context that occurs in the world's hemispheres. Efforts to demand democratization in the system of
governance in Indonesia inspired waves of democratization that took place in the western world in the decade of the
70s to the 90's, namely in America, both Central America, South America and Latin America and Eastern Europe.
Where this condition by Samuel P Huntington is called the third wave of democracy (Samuel P. Huntington, The
Third Wave, 1991).
Discourses on the appropriateness of Islam and democracy in a global political context were first
questioned by Huntington who questioned the absence of democratic practices among Islamic countries. Until
Huntington came to read that the practice of democratization in the Islamic State occurred only in the African country
of Africa. Yet according to Huntington since the 70s to 90s, democratic processes are taking place in parts of
authoritarian countries such as Central America, South America and Latin America and the regions of Eastern
Europe, the former communist powers. Furthermore, Huntington states, In addition to Mali, in Muslim countries, a
small part is semi-democratic, in fact most of them are countries that practice authoritarianism, until it is classified as
the most repressive country. From this condition encourage Huntington to further trace the root of the problem to the
source of the teachings of Islam itself. Until Huntington came to the conclusion that Islam and its traditions did not
have a doctrine in line with the spirit of democracy. (and Samual P. Huntington, The clash of civilizations and the
remake of world order, New York: Simon and Schuster, 1997)
Huntington's theory of negative views on the appropriateness of the concept of Islam and democracy gave
birth to the counter-pros within intellectual circles, both Western scholars and Islam. The experts, both from the West
and Islam themselves, have rejected Huntington's apriori view of the spirit of Islam in democracy. Like John L
Esposito and Voll, a western scholar who dismisses Huntington's view by stating that democracy is not a monopoly of

American or Western culture, but also in other cultures, including in Islam (John L. Esposito and John Obert Voll,
Islam and democracy , UK: Oxford University Press, 1996, p 21)
According to Esposito and Voll, a moderate understanding of Islam that understands Islam substantially and
contextually, will find a match between Islam and democracy. Both convey the principles of Islamic teachings on
musyawarah (as-syura), mufakat (ijma ') as well as rational and independent thinking (ijtihad). (John L. Esposito and
John Obert Voll, Islam and democracy, p. 25). According to both, these teachings are values in Islam that are in line
with the spirit of democracy. Furthermore Esposito and Voll's views are in line with Robert Hefner's view of
democracy in Indonesia which argues that a pluralist and civilian understanding of Islam precisely affirms the
importance of democracy and rejects the concept of a monolithic Islamic state (Robert W. Hefner, Civil Islam:
Muslims and democratization in Indonesia, Princeton, New Jersey: Princeton University Press, 2000)
Conclussion
Indonesia The country with the largest Muslim majority in the world has successfully passed the process of
political transition from an authoritarian regime to a democratic system of government. Even Indonesia has shown as
a stable democratic country with good economic growth. This can not be separated from the role of Islam as a
majority religion that continues to consistently encourage democratization efforts. NU and Muhammadiyah as the
largest mass organization of Islam in Indonesia, became the representation of Islam demanding the ongoing system of
democracy in the practice of life of nation and state. At the same time, this condition has shifted the public perception,
especially the western world that looked negatively towards the existence of Islam which is considered not in line
with democracy. Indonesia is an answer, that Islam and the practice of democratic life can go hand in hand

Abstract
This research is essential to ascertain democratic model on decision-making at deliberations of development
planning. Based on the observation, suggested programs from deliberations of development planningat Tellu Limpoe
district, Sidenreng Rappang regency sometimes were not realized. As a result, the attendance of invited people at next
deliberations of development planning was small. The lack of people's attendance caused the dominance of district
government on decision-making. Besides, one of the most complicated characteristics on decision-making process at
deliberations of development planningwas uncertainty where there is no evidence of what would happen next on
program establishment. This problematic characteristic can be solved through observation, questionnaire, interview
and literary study which is related to this field. This research's model is descriptive qualitative. The result of the
research shows that democratic model on decision-making consisted of liberal democracy with grade 65,8% which
was considered most influential by the respondents, guided democracy with grade 38,4% which was considered least
influential by the respondents, social democracy with grade 42,8% and was considered influential enough,

INTRODUCTION
Deliberation of development planning as a method to make the community contributing on decision making
or policy related to regional development planning. Decision making is an election among several alternatives
problem solving. The decision of the development plan itself cannot be separated from several factors that influence
it, including dealing with the environment, which one of its most difficult characteristic in decision making is
uncertainty. This uncertainty also occurs in the deliberation of the development plan in the sub-district Tellu Limpoe
where the proposed community development program in sub-district Tellu Limpoe sometimes are not realized so the
people that invited into the next deliberation of development planning is less who attended. Therefore decision
making on the deliberation of development planning in sub-district Tellu Limpoe finally determined by the local

government to be a recommendation to the district level. For that then the form of the decision-making is very
important to help decision makers in making decisions.
According to Sklar(Zubaidi & Kaelani, 2007), there is five of democratic model on decision making that is :
1) Liberal Democracy, where is the government limited by the law and free elections held in a routine; 2) Guided
Democracy, where the leaders believe that all their actions are trusted by the people but reject the competitive
elections because they are perceived it as an obstacle to occupy power; 3) Social Democracy, a democracy that cares
for justice and egalitarianism as a terms for obtaining political confidence; 4) Participative Democracy, namely the
suppression of reciprocal relationships between the rulers and ruled; 5) Constitutional Democracy, the emphasis on
special protection for cultural groups that emphasize close cooperation among the elite who represent them for the
main society.
Deliberations of development planning are an open multi-stakeholder forums that together identify and decide the
community development policy priorities(Mustanir & Razak, Nilai Sosial Budaya Pada Partisipasi Masyarakat Etnik
Towani Tolotang Dalam Musyawarah Rencana Pembangunan, 2017)(Mustanir, Barisan, & Hamid, Participatory
Rural Appraisal As The Participatory Planning Method Of Development Planning, 2017)(LGSP, 2017).
According to Sumpeno (Mustanir, Abadi, & A, Edvances in Sosial Science, Education and Humanities
Research, 2017) Deliberation of development planning is a joint community development planning that is a guide or
model of village development that focuses on community participation in the overall development process(Mustanir
& Abadi, Partisipasi Masyarakat Dalam Musyawarah Perencanaan Pembangunan di Kelurahan Kanyuara Kecamatan
Watang Sidenreng Kabupaten Sidenreng Rappang, 2017).
According to (Setyanto, 2008)The sub-district deliberation of development planning consultation is an annual
forum of stakeholders at sub-district level to get advice on priority development activities in related sub-districts
based on advice from the village, also accepting on the cross- village activity plan of the concerned sub-district. The
advice as well used for basic preparation of sub-district development planning that will be submitted to the regional
work unit (RWO) as the basis for preparation of work plan of the regional work unit of regency/city in the next year.
Deliberation of development plans is a planning mechanism, an existing planning institution in the region and as a
mechanism in bringing the advice / needs of the community to what will be programmed by the government.
Planning according to Apter (Ahmad, 2011)relates to the public decision-making process and the preparation
of public policies including in relation to democratic processes. So if only rely on the main tasks and functions alone,
then the essence of the concept of planning will shift.
The result from deliberation of sub-district development planning is a sub-district development plan. In
government regulation number 8/2008 article 18 paragraph (4) mentions that “deliberation of development plan of
local government work plan of city / regency is implemented for integration of inter-RWO design and inter-district
development plan. While in government regulation number 19/2008 about sub-district article 29 paragraph (1)
mentions "in the framework of administration in the sub-district, compiled development planning as a continuation of
the results of village development planning consultation.
Therefore the sub-district development plan is an annual plan document and the result of synchronization and
harmonization of proposals of development activities formulated at the deliberation of the village development plan.
So the sub-district development plan is part of the preparation of the regional development work plan, the program of
activities contained in the sub-district development plan is part of the obligatory and the regional government's
obligatory affairs and authorities.
There is a comparation between “sub-district development plan” and “sub-district regional work unit (RWU)
work plan”. Government regulation number 19/2008 article 30, mentions that “ sub-district as a regional work unit to
formulate a regional budget plan of regional work unit in accordance with laws and regulations. While work plan of
RWU is “ planning document of regional work unit for a 1 (one) year period”. As a RWU planning document then the
program substance that included on RWU work plan is in accordance with the affairs of the authority inherent in the
RWU organization concerned. In a sub-district, Government regulation number 19/2008 explain that sub-district head
task is carrying out public duties in the sub-district (article 15), and exercise the authority of the government

delegated by regents/mayors to handle some matter of regional autonomy (article 16). By it, the work plan of subdistrict RWU will contain programs and activities to carry out their duties and authority as RWU.
On Government regulation number 8/2008 article 1, the strategic plan of regional work unit is a preparation
document of regional work unit for a 5 (five) year period, strategic plan of regional work unit. The regional work unit
strategic plan has been developed by the head of the regional work unit with reference to the regional medium-term
development plan. On article 25, mentioned that regional work unit strategy plan contains the vision, mission, goals,
strategies, policies, program and activities in accordance with their duties and functions. This article can be
interpreted that the substance of the regional work unit, including the strategic plan of sub-district regional work unit,
only contains various aspect of the plan related to functions, task, and authority of the sub-district as one of the
regional work unit.

Abstract
General government affairs are government affairs which are the authority of the President as head of
government. The Governoranddistricthead (bupati/ walikota) has the responsibility of implementing the area from
APBN funds. At the district level the Regent / Mayor delegates the implementation to the sub-districtshead
(Camat).The purpose of research to know and analyze the implementation of general government affairs andalso
constraints with the model of interactive data analysis qualitatively. Data collection techniques: interviews,
documentation and observation.The results indicate: General government affairs in the sub-district have not been
implemented perfectly (imperfect implementation), implementation gaps occur due to the capacity difference
(implementation capacity) shown: lack of clear program activities, minimal budget; Affairs are seen as attributive
tasks rather than delegates; The district governments through National Unity and District Police Agency
(Kesbangpol) directly implement; Sub-districtsas program object, participation is limited to facilitation of place,
mobilization of participants; There is no budget from APBN. Inhibiting factors: unavailable and unified resources
needed, inadequate understanding, low interdependence, unspecified tasks and communication and coordination are
not yet optimal.

BACKGROUND
The logical consequence of choosing a decentralized unitary state is the division of the authority of affairs
between levels of government. In essence all government affairs are in the central government of the President as the
holder of governmental power as regulated in Article 4 paragraph (1) of the 1945 Constitution of the 4th amendment.
However, such government affairs may be delegated or delegated to lower levels of government through legislation
based on the principle and criteria for the division of certain powers. Principles of power relations, the Central
Government regulates the relations set forth in the legislation, the final responsibility for the administration of affairs
submitted to the Regions is the responsibility of the central government.
Based on the provisions of Law Number 23/2014 on Regional Government Article 9, the classification of
Government Affairs consists of the Affairs of the Absolute Government, Concurrent Government Affairs and General
Government Affairs. The Governmental Affairs of the Absolute is a government affair entirely the authority of the
Central Government. Where the implementation of government affairs is carried out by the Central Government itself,
or delegate authority to the vertical institution in the region or the Governor as the representative of the central

government based on the principle of deconcentration106. Concurrent Government Affairs is a government affair that
is shared between the Central Government and the Provincial and Regency / Municipal Governments, where the
authority of the regional government affairs is governed by the Obligatory Affairs and Preferred Government Affairs.
Government Affairs Compulsory consists of government affairs relating to basic services, Governmental Affairs
Mandatory not related tothe basic services107. General Government Affairs as the Government responsibilitiesin
which becomes the authority of the President asthe head of government assisted by Governor, Regent / Mayor and
Vertical Institution in their respective working areas with APBN funds108. Regents / mayors in carrying out general
government affairs in the Sub-District delegate the implementation to the Camat109. The affairs of the absolute
government are directed to the implementation of the functions of the Government in relation to the national interest
concerning the areas of defense, security, justice, fiscal and monetary affairs, foreign relations and religion.
Concurrent government affairs are directed at the implementation of government service functions at all levels of
government based on the principle of decentralization in the framework of the implementation of development in
order to realize the welfare and prosperity of society. General government affairsare directed at the realization of the
function of the Government in developing national insight, unity and unity for the establishment of NKRI.
These three classifications of government affairs should be implemented optimally by all levels of
government based on their respective duties and responsibilities. However, in the era of reform with the system of
"Wide Autonomy" the dominant role of local government as autonomous region becomes very large, while the
implementation of functions of affairs concerning the national interest (aabsolutegovernmentaffairs) and especially
general government affairs which is the responsibility of local government officials less a priority opinion because it
may be viewed as the responsibility or government affairs.
In sub-district areas, the provisions of Law Number 23/2014 on Regional Government Article 25 paragraph (6) to
place the sub-district head as the head of the sub-district government to carry out general government affairs in his
working area. The Administration of General Government Affairs shall be implemented after the implementation of
the Regent / Mayor has been transferred to the State Budget (APBN). Article 225 paragraph (1) reaffirmed The Head
of Sub-district has the duty to conduct General Government Affairs as stipulated in Article 25 paragraph (6). To that
end, how is the implementation of General government affairs in the sub-district by the Camat? What are the
implementation constraints?
RESEARCH METHODS
Finding the answer to the problem, used descriptive qualitative research type. Data were collected using
interview technique, documentation and observation and analyzed by qualitative data analysis of interactive analysis
model from Miles and Huberman. Data is collected from 2 (two) districts. One sub-district in the PulangPisau is the
sub-district of Central Kahayan andin Palangka Raya City is Bukit Batu Sub-district.
THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
The implementation of decentralization requires the division of governmental affairs between the Government
and the Autonomous Region. The division of government affairs is based on the idea that there is always a full range
of government affairs or remains the authority of the Government in particular concerning the nation's survival and
the integrity of the state. And affairs that can be submitted to the Region in order to carry out governmental affairs
suitable implemented by local government according to the needs and interests of local communities (Sunindhia, YM
1996).

The consequences of the choice of execution of affairs at the local level are known (i) Administrative Local
Government Affairs and (ii) Local Government Affairs Autonomous or domestic affairs (in Sunindhia, YM 1996).
Principles of governance are applied (i) expertise and (ii) territorial principles110. Based on the principle of expertise
in the duties and authorityexecution, The President as thehighestchiefexecutivedelegates the implementation of tasks
to the department / non department. Given the vastness of the state, it is also used by the territorial principle in which
the tasks and authorities of governance are decentralized to territory (area) with decentralization and deconcentration
system that is transformed into autonomous regions and administrative regions111. In the New Order era, the
implementation of general affairs was very strong, which placed the dominant regional head as the head of the region,
while the Autonomous Local Government Affairs were seen as complementary. In the era of reform with broad
autonomy, the Role of Administrative Governance (Governance) Governors, Regents / Mayors and
Headsubdistricttend to be only governors and the role of autonomous regional head is relatively dominant. In the era
of reform with broad autonomy every Regional Leaders at all levels of government is given the responsibility of
holding the Government Affairs of the Absolute, Concurrent Government Affairs and General Governments affairs
with Vertical Institutions in the Region. BayuSurianingrat (1992) says that general government affairs are:
"government affairs covering areas of tranquility and order, politics, coordination, oversight and other governmental
affairs not included in the duties of any agency and excluding regional households" 112. Governance in the general
sense consists of the administration of the affairs of the Region and the rest of the affairs which are not Regions which
are usually called Central affairs, National affairs or general affairs113.
Above is a policy that must be implemented in order to have the desired impact or goal. Van Meter and Van
Horn formulate policy implementation as an act by individuals or government or private officials directed towards
achieving the goals already adopted in previous policy decisions (Wahab 1997:11). There are many theories about
policy implementation models. From many models, the models of Brian W. Hogwood and Lewis A Gunn (1978) are
relatively relevant to the problems of the top down approach model with the criteria of requirements including (i) The
external conditions faced by the Implementing Agency will not cause disturbance / serious obstacles; (ii) adequate
time and resources are available; (iii) The combination of required resources is truly available; (iv) The policy to be
implemented is based on a reliable causal relationship; (v) The relationship of causality is immediate and there are
few links; (vi) The interdependence relationship must be small; (vii) A deep understanding and agreement on goals;
(vii) Tasks are detailed and placed in the proper order; (viii) Perfect communication and coordination (Wahab 1997:
10).
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Implementation of the policy is a process of implementing the policy decisions both in the form of laws,
government regulations, court decisions, executive orders and others. In the implementation of local government, the
Government has established a policy regulating the power or authority between the central government and the
subordinate levels of government currently governed by Law Number23/2014 on Regional Government.
Authority Delegation
The provisions of Law Number 23/2014 regarding Regional Government Article 25 paragraph (6) and
paragraph (5) and Article 225 paragraph (1) letter a concerning the implementation of General government affairs in
the sub-district by the Head of Sub-district, the ideal must be implemented by the Regent / well. The reality is in Bukit
Batu sub-district, Palangka Raya City and Kahayan Tengah sub-district, PulangPisau, General government affairs is
carried out by Camat as part of work unit of autonomous regional government apparatus of sub-district level which
performs task and attribute function as stipulated in Article 225 paragraph (1).
Implementation of General government affairs by the Camat involves 7 (seven) task areas as stipulated in
Article 25 paragraph (1), in Bukit Batu sub-district, Palangkaraya city, implemented without detailed regulation on

Although the Camat does not normally accept the delegation of authority over the implementation of General

between communities, handling disputes / management conflicts natural resources and economic resources

become regional authority. Implementation of general governmentaffairs is certainly implemented according to the
capacity and capacity of sub-district government.
It is not stipulated that the General Government Affairs of the Regulations of the Mayor of Palangka Raya
have an impact on the uncertainty for the Camat to carry out the affairs. Sub-district heads according to delegated
authority tend to prioritize the affairs that are his responsibility. Unregulated matters in Perwali, will only be carried
out if necessary and urgently resolved. This condition certainly causes General government affairs in the sub-district
is also not running well because the internal conditions faced by the district government concerning authority. This
situation can certainly create obstacles for the execution of the task. So it is precisely the requirements of Brian W.
Hogwood and Lewis A Gunn (1978) that the external conditions faced by the Implementing Agency should not cause
serious disruption (Wahab 1997: 10).
The camat is authoritatively unable to carry out the tasks directly without any delegated authority authority.
Different position of sub-district head on the enactment of Law Number5/1974 which has attributive authority (see
Articles 80 and 81) in which every person who is inaugurated as head of the region in itself automatically attaches the
authority. The new local government law establishes the authority of the Camat is delegate, meaning that the new
Sub-district has authority if there are active actions of the regents / mayors to delegate some of their authority
(Wasistiono, 2009). Assessing the existence of the nature of government, both task and authority are two sides of the
currency that cannot be separated. Assignment as work related to status to be fulfilled by a person, while authority is
legitimate power (institutionalized power) which becomes the ability to make someone or someone else to do or not
to do something according to the desire that is directed to the achievement the common goal of the sub-district
administration. The Camat's attitude lacks priority programs related to the implementation of General government
affairs and performs the service tasks as they are quite understandable because of the limitations of authority and
resources.
In Kahayan Tengah Sub-district of PulangPisau District, the delegation of authority of affairs by the Regent to
the Camat is procedurally regulated and stipulated in the Regent Regulation of PulangPisau Number11/2009,
including the General Government Affairs. There are several General Government Affairs which are accommodated
namely the affairs of the Governmental Sector which includes (i) Development of the state ideology and national
unity; (ii) Coordinate the efforts to organize peace and public order; (iii) Implementation of coordination and
guidance of the Civil Service Police Unit and Community Protection (LINMAS) in its working area; (iv) Facilitating
the harmony of inter-religious life; (v) To lead the implementation of government activities at the sub-district level;
(vi) Coordinating the activities of UPTD / government agencies in their working areas, in addition to other areas.
The authority for the implementation of General Government Affairs has been stipulated in the Regent
Regulation of PulangPisau Number11/2009 in more detail, but the implementation of General government affairs in
the sub-district by the Camat is also not well implemented, because the Sub District government does not have
sufficient budget. The Central Kahayan Subdistrict Chief only performs the main tasks and functions of the
community service in accordance with the authority and budget capacity. Sub-district governments tend to be less
empowered and responsive to the phenomenon of their community (including the implementation of General
government affairs), because they are less able to accommodate various proposals and inputs submitted to the Village
Developmentdeliberation/“Musyawarah Perencanaan Pembangunan” (Musrenbang) at the regional development work
plan/ “rencanakerjapembangunandaerah” (RKPD) of PulangPisauRegencyand funding these programs.
In procedural terms, Kahayan Tengah District Government has accommodated various work programs of
village / kelurahan government in proposed sub-district government work and has submitted to the district
government through Musrenbangin regional, but only a few district work programs are accommodated by unit of
regional apparatus organization/ “Satuan Organisasi Perangkat Daerah” (SOPD) for each budget year.
The Central Kahayan District Government is relatively assisted by the village fund policy by all central
villages in Kahayan Tengah sub-district that allocates substantial budgets to the government, so as to help the Sub
District government overcome various governance, development and social problems in its sub-district work area that
has not been accommodated. District government in the era of Law Number6/2014 on the Village is more domiciled
as coordinator, supervisor, motivator for the village government in the implementation of duties and functions. The
programs of governance, development, social affairs as well as the work program of general government which has

been requested for implementation and financing from sub-district or regency / municipality governments and only a
few of which are accommodated in RKPD can be implemented by the village government without going through
long-term political debates of regional heads, DPRD and SOPD.
Quite ironic that happened, should the policy delegation of authority from the Regent / Mayor to the Camat is
not only a necessity but rather as a necessity in creating the effectiveness and efficiency of governance as well as
improving the quality of public services in the region. The delegation of authority is an effort to bring services closer
to the community and empower the Sub District in order to support the implementation of regional autonomy
mechanism (Wasistiono, 2009). Therefore, it is important that the political will of the regional leaders to implement
all the stipulated provisions which are not only authoritative but also budgetary support. It is true that experts say that:
The delegation of some administrative authority from the regent / mayor to the Camat can only be carried out and run
smoothly if it meets the following four requirements: (i) the political will of the regent / mayor to delegate some of the
government's authority to the Camat; (ii) the political ability of the regency Heador Mayor and DPRD to make the
Sub District a community service center for easy, cheap and quick service types; (iii) the high tolerance of the
regional technical agencies / bodies / technical institutions to delegate some of the technical authority that can be
exercised by the Camat through the decision of the regional head; (iv) the existence of budgetary and personnel
support
to
exercise
delegated
authority
(Wasistiono,
2002).
It appears that the political wishes of top level government (districts / municipalities and technical SOPD) are
still not accommodating and responsive to the implementation of sub-district government affairs. The Sub District
government is seen as a complementary SOPD of local government organizations as well as legislation and is located
at the 2nd or 3rd level or below in the program and budget policy priorities.
The dilemma of the implementation of General government affairs in the sub-district by the Camat also
occurs because the technical SOPD and the National Unity and Politics Bureau of the districts are more dominant in
dealing directly with the problems of Public Administration at the district level and accommodating activities at the
sub-district level. The dominant role of district / city SOPD is because the district / city government accommodates
and allocates the budget for the implementation of general government affairs to this SOPD.
As a result, sub-district governments received more technical SOPD and Kesbangpol programs and facilitated the
implementation of activities in their working areas. Actually the sub-district government has the ability to implement
certain programs with the guidance and support of Kesbangpol, but the reality of Kesbangpol party is more to make
the district government as a facilitation of activities. In this case it is evident that imperfect communication and
coordination have an impact on imperfect policy implementation as revealed by Brian W. Hogwood and Lewis A
Gunn (1978) in Wahab 1997: 10). And low tolerance of the local technical agency / agency / technical agency to
delegate some technical authority that can be exercised by the Camat and the support of budget and personnel in
exercising
delegated
authority
(Wasistiono,2002).
The focus of the administration of general governmentaffairs is technically more dominantly handled by the
kabupaten / kota technical institutions. To that end, the district technical agency is allocated a certain amount of
budget for the implementation of the activity as the table below:

The direct expenditure budget (BL) managed by the Bukit Batu District Government includes for the
activities or program (i) the operational fund of the kelurahan of 75 million per kelurahan from 7 villages; (ii) The
operational fund of the Sub District government is used for: ATK, levy of honorarium, official travel, electricity, tel,
internet etc. Based on the budget allocation, the amount of funds allocated is still inadequate compared to the
workload, the scope of service, the real condition that must be resolved by the sub-district government in the
community. There are still many programs that cannot be accommodated in planning and budgeting, so it cannot be
implemented properly. Sub-district governments tend to accommodate the financing of programs under the authority
and basicworkspurpose (tupoksi) of sub-district governments. While the workload that is not clearly stated on various
rules or decisions, only carried out when the community is needed.
The allocation of funds is of course very limited compared to the burden of duties and functions of the subdistrict head, so that the General government affairs are only carried out when needed and less well-programmed as
described previously. Brian W. Hogwood and Lewis A Gunn (1978) affirm that the requirements for successful
implementation of the policy are available enough time and resources (Wahab, 1997:10).
In Sub District Kahayan Tengah KabupatenPulangthe budget allocation of district APBD for SOPD Sub District is
relatively lower. The sub-district government budget for the last 3 (three) years is only 1.5-2.5 billion, of which 1-1.5
billion is used for indirect spending (BTL) and direct expenditure (BL) of 400 million - 700 million as shown in the

This budget allocation is certainly far from being expected to support the implementation of the main duties
and functions of the district government. The lack of budget leads to weak responsiveness and lack of creativity and
effectiveness in the implementation of basic tasks and functions well. Although the Bupati has delegated some of the
authorities in a wider and more detailed manner to the sub-district government through the Regent Rule of
PulangPisau Number11/2009 and the Camat has the authority to implement. However, the implementation of General
government affairs in the sub-district by the Camatcan not be implemented well, because the sub-district government
does not have sufficient budget.
The minimum budget allocated to sub-district government is very influential on the quality of duties and
functions of Camat, whereas Camat has a strategic position and as the tip tombang service to the village / kelurahan
community. Where Camat is other than as a tool of the autonomous regional government which gets the delegation of
authority from regents / mayors for public service affairs, also carries out the administration of general duties of
government (Mardani, 2011:549). The Camat should have a clear authority over the duties it carries with the
delegation of authority from the regent / mayor, also must have sufficient funding allocation for the implementation of
the main tasks and functions, including the task of organizing. The sub-district head is not only submitted to the task
duty of authority and a stack of responsibilities, but is not followed by a reasonable budget allocation for the
implementation of the task.
In Kahayan Tengah subdistrictit is proven that the budget managed by sub-district governments is relatively
small compared to the village government budget. If the village government in the country currently manages the
village fund (DD) and the allocation of village funds (ADD) at least 1 billion, including the working area villages of
Kahayan Tengah District, the sub-district government alone only manages 400-700 million operational funds.
Implementation Constraints
Not specified in the detail of the General Government Affairs and expressly authorized by the regents /
mayors and not specifically allocated funds for these activities, occurred because ..... Whether misunderstanding
(interpretation of the provisions of legislation), lack of management sensitivity, limitations budget, urgency of affairs
or political will of officials or because of other matters .........? In the case of the research sites, these matters are likely
to be the underlying causes of the lack of implementation of the General government affairs in the Sub District by the
Camat
with
either
or
perfected
implementation
of
the
policy.
Mayor / regent does not delegate part of its authority to the Head of Sub-district related to the implementation
of General government affairs in detail and firmly, because in their understanding General Government Affairs is an
affair directly attached to the main tasks and functions of the district government or attributive affairs as the
provisions of article 225 paragraph (1) a. Therefore, without specifying the details of the mayor's or regent's
regulation on delegation as the authority of the mayor / regent, the Sub District government automatically hurts and
provides services related to the affairs of the general government. Whereas the provision of Article 225 paragraph (1)
a itself states that: "The sub-district head referred to in Article 224 paragraph (1) has the duty: to carry out general
government affairs as referred to in Article 25 paragraph (6)". Article 25 paragraph (6) states: "The regent / mayor in
carrying out general government affairs as referred to in paragraph (2) at the sub-district level shall delegate its
implementation to the Camat".

In the case of the lack of budget allocated to SOPD Sub District and the absence of APBN funds for the
implementation of General Government Affairs activities in the sub-districts, municipalities also consider that the
Camat is considered capable of managing the amount of budget set forth in the SOPD budget of the sub-district
government. No matter how much of the budget is provided, the sub-district government will be able to manage the
budget to provide services to the public, even if the service is minimal or perfunctory. Sub-district government
(Camat) is trusted by regents / mayors have a strategy to overcome the phenomena of service faced with a
predetermined budget.
Limitations of local budgets and the burden of responsibility for the realization of the welfare of the
community (mandatory affairs related to basic services and not related to basic services), accommodation of
constituents' interests, success teams and others as the impact of local direct election have created powerlessness and
causing the political budget of the regional head to prioritize certain programs in the strategic SOPDs. As a result,
budget allocations to Sub District and SOPD governments are seen as less strategic and very minimal. Regional heads
and DPRDs are more likely to allocate budgets and provide budget support to SOPD that contribute more local
revenue (PAD) and to SOPD that handle mandatory local government affairs related to basic services (education,
health, public works andsocial) while the spatial planning affairs, public housing and settlement areas, tranquility,
order and protection of the community as the affairs of wajiba related to basic services lack priority. Whereas,
thegeneral government affairs as the basic businessmatters should be implemented by all regional heads or leaders of
local government units that deal directly with the community. The President as head of government is responsible for
carrying out general government affairs. Governor, Regent / Mayor assisted by Vertical Institution as part of system
of government of unitary state of Republic of Indonesia executing general government affair in their respective
working region with APBN fund as well as government unit under it.
General Government Affairs is a fundamental business that has functions as important as Concurrent
Government Affairs or the Governmental Affairs of the Absolute. These three classifications of government affairs
should be implemented optimally by all levels of government based on their respective duties and responsibilities.
Given all the implementation of state government affairs in the unitary state system is an integral entity and is an
integral component in the framework of the implementation of state governance, the realization of the welfare of
society, the establishment of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia.
Because it is very important it is Law Number23/2014 on Regional Government places as one of the
classifications of the three classifications of government affairs as stipulated in Article 9 paragraph (1). Conditions of
the nation with various threats of disintegration, radicalism, terrorism, narcotics, intolerance weakening nationalism
spirit (“BhinnekaTunggal Ika”), and others, require reinforcement and awareness on all components of the nation.
Attention to the implementation of General government affairs in the region by the Regional Leaders and Vertical
Technical Institution Leaders of course becomes very important. Every unit of government at all levels must
continuously conduct guidance, supervision and control so that life of nation, state and society run well and smoothly.
Differences in perspective that cause less optimal implementation of General government affairs in the district should
be minimized. Based on field data can be formulated analysis of the perspective of local government in the
implementation of General government affairs in the Sub District as the following chart:

The rest of the field of delegated Mayor affairsor Regent govern more dominant about the authority related to
licensing, government, economy and mining, education and health, social and welfare and others.
The non-stipulation of the General government affairs to delegate some of the authority of the Regent / Mayor
to the District Heads explicitly to the regent / mayor regulation related to the delegation of some of the regents /
mayors' authority to the Head of Sub-district, has an impact on the less priority of the program of Public
Administration in the Sub District. This happens because the budget allocation for sub-district governments set in the
district RKA-SKPD is relatively minimal. Lack of policy priority in the field of Public Affairs implementation is
something that is not intentional or planned, but because of the external conditions encountered. This condition can be
overcome if there is a strong political desire from the main official namely Regent / Mayor and DPRD to really
allocate in real budget based on the needs and duties and functions delegated to the Camat as well as the main task of
the Camat as an attributive task. It appears that the Mayor and the Head of district, although delegated a number of
authorities to the sub-district head, but the authority is not followed by adequate budget allocation for the activities of
the assigned tasks, so that the Sub District government has not been able to perform their duties and functions
properly and responsibly. It is therefore quite correct to say that Brian W. Hogwood and Lewis A. Gunn (in Wahab
1997:71) that to implement a perfec implementation requires a favorable external conditions, sufficient resources are
needed, including the political desire of the regional head to actually carry out the responsibilities already imposed by
the law in the form of allocating the budget and delegating some powers according to the capacity of the budget and
the burden of the task.
The Head of district/ Mayor must formulate clearly the purpose and objectives of the delegation of some of
the authority submitted to the Camat, what kind of affairs the Camat can perform, the standard of the budget
submitted to carry out the affairs, the sources of funding activities and others. The District Heads themselves must
also be able to understand the various responsibilities and obligations to be able to perform the tasks that delegated
well. The task of implementing General government affairs in the sub-districts should also be considered as the main
task of the autonomous regional government apparatus (including the Head of SubDistrict). The task of Public
Administration is the duty and responsibility of the Central Government, the autonomous regional government.

The amount of regional budget as the above table is used for the organization of local government equipment
that is relatively obese 35 SOPD Palangka Raya City as the Regional Regulation 11/2016 (see table 14) and 38 SOPD
PulangPisauDistrictas regulation of Regency of PulangPisauNumber 4/2016. Number of local government
organization compared to regional finance capacity as stated in APBD Palangka Raya City and Regency APBD
PulangPisau table), power support the potential for local revenue (PAD), which has not been optimum and regional
expenditures that are relatively burdened by Indirect Expenditure (BTL), become the underlying factor for the policy
of the district / municipality governments to allocate inadequate budgets for sub-district government activities. The
Sub District government is considered to be a second class SOPD and lacks a strategic position in the implementation
of city / district government activities due to its position in the sub-district, although constitutionally as part of the
local government-level SOPD element and is the spearhead of government service after the village / kelurahan.
General government affairs in regencies / municipalities are not only the matters that become the absolute
dutyof technical SOPD or Kesbangpol regency / city, but also have decentralized handling and financing to subdistrict government. SubDistrict as the spearhead of public services and is an organization directly facing the social
life of the community should be actively involved in various activities of the administration of Public Affairs in its
territory. Sub District is not only the object of Kesbangpol program, but becomes an important partner in the
implementation of public services related to the implementation of General government affairs.
In the implementation of General government affairs in the sub-district, the integration of resources has not
been optimal yet. The district / municipal governments through BadanKesatuanBangsadanPolitik, Autonomous Local
Government Agencies/ “Satuan Kerja Perangkat Daerah” (SKPD) and Vertical Institutions in the regions tend to
make their own program planning. The proposed work program through Musrenbanghas not been well accommodated
in SKPD program activities of regency / city. The integration of resources according to Brian W. Hogwood and Lewis
A. Gunn (1978 in Wahab 1997:77) is very important. Integrity can only be created properly when built a
communication and coordination perfectly as a unity of government institutions that provide government services to
the public. In the implementation of General government affairs in the subdistrict, the integration of resources has not
been carried out optimally; Some sources are self-supporting and not mutually supportive. District / municipal
governments through Kesbangpol, SKPD and Vertical Institutions in the regions tend to formulate their own program
plans. The proposed work program through Musrenbangdesa / kelurahan, MusrenbangSub District has not been well
accommodated in the program of SKPD Districtor Kesbangpol ofKabupaten / Kota, so the SubDistrictgovernment has
not been able to answer the problems faced by the community well.
Coordination that is relatively well implemented is the coordination between Camat and Sub DistrictForkopimda
elements. Camat with elements of Police Sector (Polsek) and Koramilare able to build synergy of policies and
programs well, with mutual support and filling with each other. While coordination and synchronization between
Regional Vertical Institution and SKPD has not been run effectively due to many technical constraints
implementation. The communication that must be built is of course not just the Camat know that the technical SKPD

or Vertical Institution organizes program activities in its territory or concerns about communicating information or
forming appropriate administrative structures, but concerning the more basic problem that is the practice of the
exercise of power or authority (Wahab 1997:77) seriously and concretely, not formal terms on paper or political
bases.
Chart 2. Pattern of Implementation of General Government Affairs in the Sub District
Implementation of Public Administration in the sub-district has not been running perfectly, due to the duality
of the foundation that creates blurring and multi-interpretation of policy implementation as stipulated in Law Number
23 Year 2014. Arrangement of Article 25 paragraph (1) and paragraph (6), Article 225 paragraph (1) on field practice
interpreted and implemented by regency / municipality head by placing the implementation of General government
affairs in Sub District as the duty of attribute of sub-district government regardless of the need to stipulate regulation
related to the delegation of some authority from regents / mayors to Camat as regulated in Article 225 paragraph (1 )
letter a. Therefore Public Affairs Affairs remains the authority of the district / municipality governments by granting
greater budget allocations to the National Unity and Political Entity in Regency / City Budgets, and General
government affairs undertaken by the District Government are the main tasks of sub-district governments, on the
routine budget of the Sub District government as set forth in the district / city APBD.
The provisions of Law Number23/2014regarding the implementation of General government affairs have
been clearly regulated as Article 9 paragraph (1) and paragraph (3), Article 25 paragraph (1) and paragraph (6),
Article 225 paragraph (1) letter a. Only at the level of policy implementation of parties with authority authority has
not shown perfect compliance to implement especially the Regent / Mayor as responsible for the implementation of
General Government Affairs in the district / city. Yet according to Brian W. Hogwood and Lewis A. Gunn (1978 in
Wahab 1997: 78) the successful implementation of the wisdom of one is determined by the desire of the parties who
have the authority of power to be able to demand and obtain complete compliance. Regents / Mayors who have the
authority and responsibility to carry out General government affairs in the district / municipality shall stipulate in

detail and clearly the various General Government Affairs submitted to the Camat and adequate budget allocations
sourced from APBN as stipulated by the law. The detailed assignment of tasks to the sub-district and sub-district
governments is very important as well as the exact sequence of assigned tasks that take into account the situation and
conditions in the field. Brian W. Hogwood and Lewis A. Gunn (1978 in Wahab 1997: 76) believe that well-detailed
tasks based on the correct sequence will determine successful implementation.
In the implementation of the policy of Public Administration in Bukit Batu sub-district, Palangka Raya city
and Kahayan Tengah sub-district, PulangPisau District, as stipulated in Law Number23/2014. Real implementation of
the gap has been carried out or a situation where the policy process is different between what is expected (planned) by
the policy maker with what is actually achieved (as a result or achievement of the implementation of the policy)
caused by the different capacities of the organizational element in which the district / municipal government in
interpreting the policy (implementation capacity) with results achieved from the implementation of wisdom (Andrew
Dunsire 1978, in Wahab 1997:61).
The current tendency is that delegative delegation is merely a compliance with the administrative provisions
of the law and administrative authority is limited to recommending such as IMB, ID, Business Permit and others or
rubber stamp. Whereas according to SaduWasistiono district government with Head as Head, has position and a
strategic position for the realization of the democratic life of society in its working area. Because there are different
characteristics between the status of existing regional devices in the Sub District with other technical agencies /
technical institutions that are more specific. Where the authority of the Camat is more general and involves various
aspects in government, development and society (Wasistiono 2009:33).
The position and role of the current Camat, in fact can not be separated directly with the Camat as a central
leader in the district. The role of the sub-district administrator as a sole administrator in the field of governance,
development and social development of the community is in fact inseparable in the practice of governance in the Sub
District. So the Camat is in reality not only required to carry out the delegative matters only from the regents / mayors
but also the attributive affairs, General Government Affairs and even various matters that are not regulated and listed
in the field of affairs submitted to the Camat. Therefore, the strengthening of the role and position of the sub-district
government is very important, the Camat is not only bound to the authority of delagative matters only from the
regents / mayors but all aspects of the affairs that are not implemented by the technical or vertical agencies in the Sub
District or fully involved participate in carrying out general government affairs in sub-district together with Vertical
Central Agency in the region. Sub-districts must be empowered by allocating adequate budgets for the
implementation of the affairs assigned to their responsibilities with various sources of financing (State Budgeting,
Regional Budgetingand others). Matters capable of being implemented by the Camat and completed at the sub-district
level should be delegated to the Camat through the regulation of the regional head which specifies in detail and
expressly resolved matters accompanied by financing. Place the position of the Camat as a central government
activity at the sub-district level that coordinates the performance of the village / kelurahan government in its working
area directly under the regent / mayor. The funding and execution of sub-district governments is unlikely to be
eradicated or weak in existence when broad autonomy is implemented and Law no. 6 Year 2014 on Villages that
provide abundant budget strengthening to village government. The role and position of the Sub-district with the subdistrict government is still needed as a bridge of coordination, synchronization and supervision of governance,
development and social development of village / kelurahan before all the affairs are handled by the regents / mayors.
Regents / mayors may not be able to effectively administer government management if all matters at the kelurahan /
desa level should be dealt with directly. The regents / mayors should now strengthen the role of sub-district
governments that are not only questioned on attributive, delegative or other affairs, but rather focus on empowering
the operational role of sub-districts as the spearhead of district / city government services.
Sub-district governments should also be empowered from aspects of strengthening the availability of
infrastructure and human resources. The geographical condition of sub-districts far from the central capital of the
district government such as the Kahayan Tengah subdistrict led to a lack of guidance and implementation of district
government work programs in the region. The policy of the district government of PulangPisau which tends to pivot
in the urban sector (strengthening the infrastructure of the district capital of PulangPisau) is the cause of the reduced
budget allocation that should be accepted by the Central Kahayan government. The district government tackles the
limitations of the APBD by minimizing the sub-district budget, pruning SKPD activities that are seen as less

important and able to contribute to PAD, including budget allocations for the Kahayan Tengah sub-district
government, whose budget allocations are far from adequate to implement properly. The impact of the budget
constraints also causes the feasibility of facilities and infrastructure and human resources in the Sub District to be low.
Finally it can be stated that the implementation of General government affairs in Bukit Batu Sub-District
Palangka Raya and Kahayan Tengah District PulangPisau District in reality has not been able to be implemented by
the City Government of Palangka Raya and Regency PulangPisau as the provisions of legislation. There is a gap
between what is planned and the implementation gap. The policy stipulated in Article 25 paragraph (1), paragraph (5)
and paragraph (6) of Law Number23/2014on Regional Government has not been able to be implemented
implementsably because of the external conditions faced by the Sub District government in the relation of authority
with the district / municipality governments, the combination of required resources is not yet available, reliable
relationships on the policy to be implemented are not yet complete, the interdependence relationship is still very high
where the sub-district government is still heavily dependent on the delegated authority and budget provided by the
district / municipality government, the absence of deep understanding and agreement on the purpose of devolving the
authority of the administration of Public Administration in the Sub District by the regents / mayors, the sub-districts
have not received detailed tasks in the proper order of delegated authority, choir dinasi and communications have not
run perfectly and the parties with power authority have not shown perfect compliance to implement all the rules that
have been set. So that the implementation of the policy of general governmentin Bukit Batu sub-district of Palangka
Raya and Kahayan Tengah sub-district of PulangPisau District has not been successfully implemented (unsuccessful
implementation) either because of unperfect implementation (non-execution) and the provisions of some clauses of
the Law Number23/2014on Regional Government, especially Article 25 paragraph (1), paragraph (5) and paragraph
(6) with Article 225 paragraph (1) letter a multi-interpretive and multi-implementation multi pretest that can be
categorized into unperfect group policy (wisdom itself is relatively inadequate) and very exaggerated if assessed bad
policy (its own bad wisdom) because the impact of the mistake of such wisdom does not escalate widely.
CONCLUSION
The conclusions of this research are as follows: (i) General government affairs in sub-districts have not been
fully implemented (unperfect implementation), implementation gaps occur due to implementation capacity which are
indicated: lack of clarity of activity program, minimal budget; (ii) Affairs shall be regarded as attributive tasks as
stipulated in Article 225 paragraph (1) letter a, not delegative. Whereas based on the provisions of Article 25
paragraph (6) the implementation of such affairs through the delegation of some authority of the mayor / regent to the
Camat with the regulation of the mayor / bupati; (iii) The district / municipal governments through the National Unity
and District Policing Agency directly carry out Government Affairs, the sub-districts are seen as the object of the
program, limited participation in site facilitation, participant mobilization; (iv) No special budget is provided (funding
from APBN funds does not exist). (v) Implementing inhibiting factors are: misinterpretation of rules or lack of
realities of implementing rules, unavailable and coherent of required resources, inadequate understanding, low
interdependence, unspecified tasks and communication and coordination not yet optimal.
The results of the research are recommended as follows: (i) It is necessary to conduct a thorough evaluation of
the implementation of General government affairs in the Sub-District by the Government and provincial, district /
municipal governments concerning clarity of rules interpretation, implementation process and program success; (ii)
Public Administration in the Sub District should be established and reinforced by regent / mayor regulation as part of
delegative affairs; (iii) Implementation of General government affairs in the Sub District should be followed by
financing sourced from APBN funds; (iv) The district / city government shall delegate the implementation of General
government affairs in the sub-district and reduce the central role of the National Unity and Political Bureau of district/
city; (v) General Government Affairs capable of implementing Sub District government should be submitted to subdistrict governments, district / municipal governments shall be coordinated, monitored and evaluated; (vi) Need to
improve coordination, communication and integration of the administration of General government affairs by
stakeholders.

MIDDLEMAN : A CRUCIAL ACTOR IN ELECTIONS
George Towar Ikbal Tawakkal

Abstract
Talking about democracy, cannot avoid an election. Elections are a central element in theories of
democracy. Even, overlapping to understand both. Democracy requires legitimation, then the election is an
instrument to make it work. In an election, ideally, voters begin with a relatively well-developed sense of self-interest
and some conception of the public good. Some works of literature shown parts which influence voting preference,
such as party, candidate, voter, and media. But, in some countries (like Paraguay, Egypt, Taiwan, etc) have other
parts who influence voters. This article will see the existence of the other part in some countries. Based on literature
discussion and conducting research, I mapped other parts exclude party, candidate, voter, and media, so we can
place the other as an object of democratization studies. This article will show, any person who acts as an independent
intermediate between party/ candidate and voters, in order to influence voters. For example, in Thailand, Hua
Khanaen played the role. In Indonesia, some scholar sees them as Tim Sukses, but actually, they have a local name,
like Gapit in Demak, Sabet in Pati, or others. Generally, we like more to call them as middlemen (some scholar call
them as vote broker). They serve network to influence the voter, through distributing money or good (vote buying), or
social pressure. We conclude, any limitation in party or candidate, and limitation in voters, that shaped hole, where
middlemen act as a bridge for it.
Keywords: Election, Middleman, Vote Buying, Social Pressure
The first time, I had an opportunity to watch “intermediary activity” in mid-2011. It was local election
periods, for regency head (bupati) in local government (Kabupaten). I interacted with the local middleman – people
who hired as an intermediate to contact voters on behalf of candidates. In Pati (one of Kabupaten in central Java
province), for example, Sabet acted as the intermediary, while in other places they are called gapit, pecut, etc. The
terms refer to similar activities in other countries, such as Hua Khanaen in Thailand (Hellmann, 2014). Sularso is a
person who gave me the opportunity. He was a rich man who has high social status in his community. We discussed
much local election issues. In the election, candidate hired him to be a middleman (Sabet). Some nights, I watched
candidate whom he supported visited his house. I had a chance to join their conversations. It looked very friendly
conversation. His visiting were not only for discussing the election but sometimes were for social stuff, like traditional
ceremonies. In other time, I watched other candidate visited his house. The candidate tried to hire Sularso and
persuaded to switch his supporting.
From those, I tried to understand why candidates want him. It looked that candidates really need Sularso.
Some reasons why I think that are, candidate tried to strengthen their social tie with Sularso, and each candidate

efforted to made Sularso switch to candidate from another candidate. Some political meetings and social meeting have
been existed between them, to keep their relationship. In another side, other candidates persuaded him by offering
their resources, not only financial, but whatever they can do, to get his service, and sure to betray candidate whom he
supported before.
Not only talking with Sularso and candidates, I had an opportunity to talk with voters. One day, Sularso
invited me to walk around the village. On the way, we met some villagers who have questions about who candidate
Sularso support is. By smile, Sularso answered that he does not make yet decision. In other situation, when I involved
in casual meeting with villagers, they discussed distributing money to them and person who takes it. From those, I
tried to understand why voters (villagers) need the middleman, not only need candidates.
Both questions, why candidates need middlemen, and why voters need middlemen, inspired me to write this
article. This article consists of five parts. First, explaining the existence of middleman in the field. It is important to
avoid misunderstanding about persons who can be identified as middlemen. Second, explaining why candidates need
middlemen. Candidate’s position will be discussed to find understanding why they need middlemen. Third, why
voters need middlemen. Voter’s position will be discussed to find the answer why they need middlemen. Fourth,
explaining what middlemen have. It will give us understanding from middleman’s side. Fifth, theoretical discussion,
and finding logic arguments about all we discussed before.
For collecting pieces of information to build arguments, I conducted some observations and interviews in
village communities in Pati and Demak regency (both are regencies in Central Java Province), during elections in
2011-2017. The reasoning for the regencies is, both can be seen as the representation of Javanese society characters,
which Gertz called them as Santri and Abangan (1989). Santri is a term for referring to society who practice Islamic
activities more. Abangan is opposite. In the case, I can place Demak as Santri community, is based on much mosques,
Islamic schools, Islamic activities, and social configuration which place religion leaders in high social status. Past
time, Demak was the first Islamic kingdom in Java Island. Pati, we can place it as Abangan community, is based on a
fewer mosque and Islamic schools, traditional (java culture, not refer to Islamic culture) activities, much industries,
and social configuration is influenced by economic and Javanese norms. The reasoning for choosing village
communities is, use of middleman is in village communities mostly (Aspinall and Sukmajati, 2015).
Sure, not easy to interact with middlemen. They tend to make barrier when any person who they do not
know, try to watch and interview them. As noted, most of the middlemen (most scholars called them as vote brokers)
activities related with distributing money or goods to voters (Aspinall, 2014; Aspinall and Sukmajati, 2015), and the
activities are illegal in Indonesia. They tended to make the barrier for foreigners or researchers. Fortunately, I had a
channel to conduct this research. I had a very good social relationship with some middlemen and made them trust
me.That made me easy to interact and interview them. I will hide their names, and make sure that my research is
objective. In the two regencies, I had a good channel to communicate with local party leaders. It made me have a
chance to interview them.
Who do play as middleman: Sabet and Gapit
Middleman term is not common for political scientists. They more like use vote broker to call them. But it
refers to the same actor. Blaydes (2006) defined vote broker as an agent who acts as candidates to enforce these
arrangements through a series of monitoring techniques. Balydes did not discuss them in vote buying context. Finan
and Schehcter (2012: 864) used a softer term, middlemen, although he defined them as vote brokers in vote buying
context. Finan and Schechter gave an understanding that talking about middleman is not always about vote buying.
But, other scholars gave an understanding that the intermediary activity is always about vote buying (Triantini 2015;
Rahman 2015; Aidt et al 2015; Aspinall 2014; Hellmann 2014; Stokes 2013; Ocantos 2012; Schaffer and Schedler
2008; Blaydes 2006; Wu and Huang 2004). Both have a similar understanding when talking about who they are. They
are non-partisan (party member), who being an intermediate between candidate and voters, directly or indirectly, in
order to collect the vote.
commonly. Aspinall (2014) noted that election which candidate-centered campaigning, encourage the
candidate to build campaign team for themselves, which brokers were part of it. In Pati election, Rahman (2015)

mentioned about the existence of them. Interviewing in Pati showed that middleman is really existed, locally called as
Sabet. An informant said, “each candidate has a team for himself. Too difficult for him if he has no”. Other informant
declared that he is a middleman for a candidate in 2011-2012 and 2017 Pati elections. Observing in Demak showed
that middleman is existed, locally called as Gapit. I watched some persons did middleman activities in 2015 Demak
election.
In fact, middlemen were not foreigner for voters. Mattlin (2004) observed it in Taiwan, defined good
middlemen are persons who have a good social network. Wang and Kurzman (2008) explained the social network can
be identified as kinship, or family. In fields, I found similar situations. Candidates hired persons who have many
friends and a big family. Middlemen have daily interaction with voters, even some middlemen have an important
position in their community. I found a middleman who often being a social problem solver. While some middlemen
have high social status as community leaders. In the case, community leaders are religious leaders and economic
leaders. Some middlemen are village head formers, and some middlemen are village head family. It is what Hellman
(2014) called as a ready-made network.
Among middlemen in a team, they have a relationship. They have daily interaction among them. In Demak
case, they are connected to government infrastructure projects, connected as teacher and student, connected in an
organization, etc. In Pati case, they are connected in a business relationship, boss, and workers, etc. It an argument
that between middlemen and voters, even among middlemen, have integrated socially, before they conducted
intermediary activities. Difference situation was showed when I observed the relationship between middlemen and
candidates. They did not always have a social relationship before the election. In Pati, some candidates have the social
relationship with middlemen before the election. For example, Sularso. He is candidate’s friend in high school. While
other middlemen did not have, for example, is Subur. He did not know the candidate before. He knew the candidate
few time before the election, in order to build a campaign team. In Demak, the situation is similar within Pati. Some
middlemen have affiliated in the same organization, especially in the religious organization. Other middlemen did not
know the candidate before the election. Usually, there were persons who take candidates to middlemen. The persons
introduce a candidate to middlemen, then they built a team.
A conclusion of this part is, Pati and Demak elections have middlemen who being an intermediate candidate
and voters. Middlemen are persons who have daily interaction with voters. They also have daily interaction among
middleman in a team. We can call it as a ready-made network. But, the relationship between candidate and
middlemen is different. Sometimes, they had a social relationship before the election, while others had no social
relationship before the election. For last, any persons who take the candidate to middlemen. It means, ready-made and
the non-ready-made network can be found between candidate and middlemen.
Limitation of Candidates
This section will discuss candidate conditions. Blaydes (2006: 1-21) begins his article by describing the
circumstances of candidates who tend to be assumed to be an authoritarian regime in Egypt. The logic, as a candidate
of the authoritarian regime, will hinder voters to judge as people who are needed in a democratic system. On the other
hand, candidates need the legitimacy of voters through the election. In the legislative elections in Indonesia, Aspinall
(2014: 548-549) points out that changes in the electoral system from seat-based determination are based on the
majority of votes, resulting in a change of candidate's position. Since the elections in 2009, the system has encouraged
candidates to form their own teams. The change has affected the candidate position as a campaign center, which was
previously centered on the party. This condition makes it difficult for candidates to win seats. Tawakkal's research
(2009: 229) in the 2009 elections in Demak, shows that the party failed to become an institution that sustains the
victory of the candidate.
In 2011-2012 Pati local elections, all candidates are newcomers, there is no incumbent regional head. The
candidates are promoted by a combination of parties. The background of the candidates comes from party cadres,
others from outside the party. Such as the Haryanto-Budiyono, they were not certain party cadres when it becomes a
candidate. Sunarwi is the party's chairman and carried by the party. Regardless of the party's ability as a winning
institution, the candidates who were not a party official were certainly not a party leader who can freely mobilize
party resources to win them. The popularity of candidates is also not high before the nomination period. Keep in

mind, the candidates were not incumbent candidates, although there were candidates who have experienced winning
election, but not in local elections (Pilkada), and the scope is smaller than local elections.
In 2015 Demak local election, there were incumbent candidates, who previously served as head of the
Region. The candidates are promoted by a combination of parties. The background of the candidates comes from
party cadres, others from outside the party. Such as Nasir-Joko, were not certain party cadres when a candidate. In the
Harwanto-Maskuri, Maskuri is the party's chairman and carried by the party. Regardless of the party's ability as a
winning institution, the candidates who were not a party official were certainly not a party leader who can freely
mobilize party resources to win them.
The above description provides an understanding, that the candidate has social limitations. First, the
limitations of the social environment. Candidates often do not depart from people who have a wide social
environment. This is natural, given that humans are limited by their ability to move and interact with other
individuals. The non-acquaintance of the candidate personally with all voters, the limitation of the candidate's social
network to interact directly with each voter, were exacerbated by the non-functioning of the supporting party machine.
The limitations of these networks were reflected in the unavailability of the party's internal network to the voter level.
Party as an institution, did not have the structure to the lowest level, such as RT level. Limitations were also reflected
in the inability of candidates who were not party leaders to mobilize their party support machines. Secondly, the
candidates were also confronted with voters who do not know the candidate. The majority of candidates came
suddenly into the minds of voters. So the candidates had no compelling reason to be known socially by voters.
Although there were some incumbent candidates, in reality, did not make himself really known by voters in
Mranggen.
Limitation of Voters
This section discusses limitations on voters, which makes it impossible to see the elections and candidates as
they should. In the Egyptian Election, when discussing vote broker, Blaydes (2006: 1-21) explains the tendency of
voters to be apathetic because it considers participation in authoritarian regime elections to be useless. In China,
Kennedy (2010: 623) mentioned low level of voter turn out. Such voter behavior and perception, I see its as
limitations of the voter's mind.
There were similarities between voters in Pati and Demak. Voters saw local election (Pilkada) as a political
routine that is not beneficial to improve voter life. Some voters mentioned similarly that anyone who becomes the
Bupati will not affect their lives. Other voters gave different views, seeing Pilkada only as a competition to occupy the
position of Bupati, regardless of the democratic values, so that the voters position themselves as unimportant parties
when the winners arose. The views have caused voters to have a low level of awareness to elections, and then
consider other "logic" if they have to participate in the elections.
Based on data in both locations, it can be understood that basically Pilkada as a political activity with
democratic values, did not become something interesting to be considered. Voters saw Pilkada as an activity that has
no solution for improving people's welfare. The consequence of these thoughts is that participating in Pilkada is not
something important. With these consequences, voters will not come to the polls if they consider their attitude on the
democratic values of Pilkada. At this point, voters have a mindset about how to respond to elections and candidates.
Other limits were more sociological. Although this may be due to the limitations of the above, I would need
to discuss this as another limitation. In Pati and Demak, the communities still have strong ties, as a feature of rural
society. One of them is patronage relationship. In Pati, patrons were dominated by entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurs often
became references for community issues. The number of workers who depend on entrepreneurs, as well as the
ownership of material above others, gives businessmen elite social status. Little difference in Demak, the patron were

dominated by religious leaders. Same with in Juwana, the large number of voters who become followers, as well as
the social values of respect, gave the religious leaders an elite social status. It is what i mean with social pressure.
When voters have felt that the logic of democracy cannot be used to respond to elections, the voters consider
other logic. Referring to the characteristics of the society, voters will use the logic of social relations as a
consideration of choosing. At this point, the patrons became the referrals to voters. The voters considered his patron's
preference. However, referrals to patrons as a result of the unenforceable logic of democracy are not always the case.
Some voters in Pati and Demak, did not do it as another way. They responded to Pilkada together with other social
activities, which refers to a patron is a devotion. As an example, an informant who worked as a house servant did not
need other considerations, and always followed her patron preference.114
In conclusion to this section, I would like to state that limitations are not only in the candidates but also in
the voters. The limitations inherent in the voters include limits of thought on elections and candidates and sociological
limitations. Limitations of mind may be shown by apathy to elections or candidates and unknowledge voters to
candidates. The sociological constraint of voter's need for reference, which based his choice on his patron's attitude.
Conclusions
The conclusions of the above findings illustrate the blank spaces between candidates and voters, in which
candidates were unable to reach voters personally, and voters also did not have enough reasons to reach candidates
personally. Theoretically, the blank space is called a structural hole. Burt proposed a theory that within societies there
are separate structures, of which they have less contact, which he called the structural hole (Burt 1992: 18). In this
context, the hole between candidates and voters, the limitations possessed by candidates and the limits possessed by
voters, illustrate the structural hole. Limitations of the candidate's social environment, limitations of party support
networks, as well as the low popularity of candidates, detain candidates for interact directly with every voter. On the
other hand, the apathy of voters to the elections, as well as the sociological needs of voters to other individuals as a
reference, gave sociological restrictions to candidates for entry into voter environments. The hole is reflected in the
absence of a direct channel between candidates and voters, whom Burt (1992: 18) referred to as "disconnected".
In his theory, Burt gave a solution to fill the hole. Burt (in Prell and Skvoretz, 2008) described the concept
of brokerage as a solution to fill the structural hole. The concept explained the necessity of an independent individual
or group that serves as a bridge, to cover a hole within a social structure. If there are no brokerage, then the two
different entities will remain separate. As a result, information and capital will be hampered and complicate the
existing individuals. In this context, Sabet and Gapit were present and serve as a bridge between two separate entities,
namely candidates and voters. Bjorkman (2013, 9) called the connectedness as a vote banking.
How was that connectedness established? The social relationships that had been formed before the
intermediary activities, between middlemen and voters, between middleman with another middleman in a network,
and between middleman and candidate, basically seemed to obscure the existence of structural holes. However, I need
to assert, structural holes occur between candidates and voters, referring to the election is about candidates and voters.
When the two entities are viewed and remove the existence of another entity (middleman), the hole of the structure
will be clear. The purpose of hiring middlemen made the hole was covered and connected to the candidate's goals and
voter goals.
The data showed that middleman knows another middleman indicate that they were connected to the work
system. A middleman in Demak stated that he is not in direct contact with the candidate. There was another gap that
positions on it to connect with the candidate. He also explained that he recruited other middlemen at the bottom level,
ie RT level. The findings above show that middlemen were a network with a multilevel structure. Why did they need
to build the form? I did the analysis taking into account the conditions in Demak and Pati. There were several reasons
why the middlemen are in the form of a multilevel structure. First, the large and number of voters, requiring to divide
an area into divisions. The divisions carry consequences of the need for coordinators. That is, multilevel structures are

needed as operating systems work. Second, the limitations of middlemen's environment. The social space of every
middleman was limited to a small community. Blaydes and Tarouty (2009) prefer to use "local brokers" term to
illustrate the limitations of their social space. This limitation also existed in the relationship with the candidate. Not all
candidates can reach the candidate directly. So, the two reasons are those cause difficulties for candidates to hire a
middleman only.

The conclusions of this article are illustrated in the above scheme. Limitations of the candidate's social
environment, limitations of party machines, and low popularity of candidates were a barrier for candidates to interact
directly with voters personally. The voter's apathetic to elections and candidates, as well as the sociological needs of
voters against other individuals as a reference, becomes a barrier for voters to connect directly with candidates. The
limitations of candidates and voters, forming a structural hole in unconnected candidates and voters. The hole was
then filled by social networks that reach both sides. Then there were intermediary activities. I propose a follow-up
question, if the hole still exists, will the intermediary activities still exist? The possibility of the emergence of other
variables may occur and effect. The question is open to being observed.

INTRODUCTION
Legislative elections are held openly by giving the public the opportunity to vote for legislative members who
will be the leaders. This resulted in the number of legislative candidates nominating themselves to become members
of the legislature.
At the time of the campaign, each successful team of each legislative candidate competes in winning the
hearts and voices of the voters. They are mobilized to give their voting rights to legislative candidates, starting with
open campaigns, donating donations, doing money politics, and so on. This is done to be elected and to sit on the
council seats, as representatives of the people.

names of legislative candidates is supported with clear masses, so they do not have to do campaigns, grants and other
things that other legislative candidates are doing to gather votes. This is evidenced by the election of 3 legislators who
are Towani Tolotang in the election area II (District Wattang Pulu, Tellu Limpoe, Panca Lautang) I have 2 people,
namely
Slamet with 1.75 votes, Asis Laise with 1,103 votes, and from the third dapil III (District Two Pitue, Pitu Riawa, Pitu
Riase) there is 1 person that is Lannae with 1,839 votes.
The study of literature in this study, is the concept of voter behavior that is a person's behavior in determining
the choice that feels most liked or most suitable. According to Firmanzah (Efriza, 2012: 480), in general, voters are
defined as all parties who are the main goals of contestants to influence and convince to support and then vote to the
contestants concerned ..
Meanwhile, voter behavior according to Subakti (Efriza, 2012: 480), is "voting activity by individuals related to
decision-making activities to vote and not vote in an election, the voters will elect or support certain candidates ".
Types of voter behaviorFirmanzah (Efriza, 2012: 483) Describes four voting behaviors:
a) Rational Voters
In the first configuration there is a rational voter. In this configuration, the voter has a high degree of orientation in
'policy-problem-solving' and is low-oriented for ideological factors. Voters in this case prefer the ability of political
parties or potential contestants in the work program. national problems.
Voters of this type have a peculiarity that is not so concerned with ideology to a political party or a contestant. Factors
such as understand, origin, traditional, cultural, religious and psychographic values are also considered, but not
significant. Voters in this case want to release the things that are dogmatic, traditional, and location bonds in public life.
Logical analysis and logical considerations are very dominant in the decision-making process.
b) Critical Voters
This type of voter is a combination of high orientation on the ability of a political party or a contestant in solving
national problems and their high orientation towards ideological matters. The importance of idiological bonds makes
voter loyalty to a party or a contestant quite high and not as easy as a 'rational voter' to turn to another party. This type
of voter is a critical voter. This means that they will always analyze the relationship between the system of party values
(ideology) and the policies made.
c) Traditional Voters
Voters in this type have a very high ideological orientation and do not really see the policy of a political party or a
contestant as something that is important in decision making. Traditional voters strongly prioritize socio-cultural
closeness, value, origin, understanding and religion as a measure to choose a political party. Policies such as economics,
welfare, equal distribution of income and education, and reduction of inflation rates are considered as the second
parameter. They do not worry too much about what policies have been made and what political parties they support.
d) Skeptical Voters
The fourth voter is a voter who does not have a high ideological orientation with a political party or a contestant, nor
does it make policy as important. care about 'platfrom' and policy of a political party. White (golput) in Indonesia or
diamanapun very dominated by this type of voter. Even if they participate in the ballot, they usually do it randomly.

They believe that anyone and any party that wins the elections will not be able to bring the nation towards the
improvement they expect. In addition, they do not have an emotional bond with a political party or a contestant.

Keywords: Conflict, Governor Election.
HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
The dynamics of local politics in the struggle for the power in the regime of the old order and
the new order is considered less attractive. It is because there is rarely a conflict between the political
elite among the gubernatorial, regent and mayor elections. After the reforms took place, the dynamics
of national politics changed the total dynamics of regional politics. According to Gaffar (2006),
everyone and community groups were relieved to be released from a heavy burden called
authoritarianism under the Soeharto regime.
After the new order rule the roost, the pattern of leadership change in the region in which it is
causing a difficult conflict of interest that is hard to be avoided. The various problems that occur, have
led to the emergence of conflict and integration because of the similarities and differences of social
interests (Setiadiet.al., 2011). Maswadi (2001) was also believes that, political conflict is a group
conflict, so that the definition of group conflict is a conflict that occurs between two groups or more.
As for Agustino (2009),he sees the political elite as a politically active of political actor. In Varma
(2010) view, it is asserted that at least the society is divided into two categories which include: first, a
small group of capable human beings and therefore occupying a position to govern and secondly, a
large number of masses destined to govern.
According to LP3ES (1998), the conflict occurs because there is no consensus between
individuals or groups within the community. Consensus is created when there is agreement between
those who are in conflict so as not to open up the possibility of differences of opinion on the agreed
issue. In addition, according to Wahyudi (2011), success in managing conflicts is determined by the
accuracy in selecting management techniques, the ability of third parties or leaders in managing
conflicts, and the willingness of conflict parties to resolve conflicts by using dominant, compromise,
and integrative problem solving is the most widely used method of conflict resolution.
Jayadi (2007) stated that, the enactment of Law Number 32 of 2004 about the Regional
Government, which is followed by direct election of regional heads, has given a new spirit for the
community because they can participate directly. However, inits practices the direct elections are still
there are lot of obstacles which cause various conflict. In this point, the central government continues
to make efforts in overcoming the conflicts, but always failed to find a balanced point so that protests
and local political issues arise.
In the context of the transfer of power from the old regime into the new regime, it turns out be having
some problem in some areas. The sharpness of political interests between political power and political
among the power. The result in a number of conflicts in the seizure of political positions such as
governors, regents and mayors which is often unavoidable. The result of a Research conducted by
LIPI (2005), shows that the pattern of local power transfer that often causes conflict is not a new
issue. During the transition period (1998-2002) there were approximately 6 cases of problematic
election of governor and 10 cases of regent and mayor election all over Indonesia which is the causing
political conflict.

The results of The Habibie Center (2013), when the direct elections was held (2005-2013)
there has been a conflict in the elections that are quite diverse in scale that occurred in 10 provinces in
Indonesia. The research data showed that there were at least 585 cases of violence in the General
Election which resulted in 47 deaths, 510 injuries, 416 pieces of damaged buildings. This conflict was
triggered by different issues between one case and another, but in general, there is a difference of
legal interpretation of the election result, the existence of a support group that does not accept the
election result so as to cause protest and anarchic action, the election result is considered legal flaw,
the issue of money politics and the rejection of election result because the candidate is suspected of
corruption.
The elite conflicts in the elections are common things. It is because the size of the conflict is
relatively small, but if electoral conflicts occur continuously in the area so that it will certainly be a
big problem. The conflict that occurred during Gorontalo governor elections in 2017 has caused
political upheaval in Gorontalo Province. The Election Conflict of Gorontalo Governor is a conflict
that was born because of competition between candidate pairs. There has been an act of mutual
lawsuit institutionalized in between candidate pairs to seek the point of weakness of each candidate
pair.
The elite conflict that occurred in Gorontalo governor elections in 2017 has been a long time
since the election of Mayor of Gorontalo in 2013. The conflict between elites can be seen from the
dispute between AdhanDambeaas Mayor of Gorontalo 2008-2013 with RusliHabibieas Governor
Gorontalo 2012-2017. AdhanDambea who stepped forward as mayor of petahana was crossed out by
the Election Commission of Gorontalo the day before the Election Day, which is making
AdhanDambea failing to become Mayor of Gorontalo for the second period. AdhanDambea accused
his cause of being canceled in the nomination due to RusliHabibie's intervention as governor of
Gorontalo. Then in the internal matters of Golkar Party there is also happened the friction between
RusliHabibie and Fadel Muhammad as senior in Golkar Party in Gorontalo. Fadel Muhammad as a
Golkar cadre is considered to have often maneuvered politics by attacking RusliHabibie both as the
Governor of Gorontalo and personally.
The determination of candidates to become candidate for Governor and Vice Governor of
Gorontalo 2017 reaps a prolonged polemic. The commisions of the general election stipulates the
candidate pairs with the serial number 1 of Hana Hasanah - Tony Junus (HATI), candidate pairswith
the serial number 2 RusliHabibe - Idris Rahim (NKRI) and the candidate pairswith the serial number
3ZainudinHasan - AdhanDambea (ZIHAD). Since the determination of candidate pairs serial number
1 and 3 sent a protest and lawsuit through Bawaslu and the Election Supervisory Board, in which the
serial number 2 RusliHabibie - Idris Rahim is considered not to meet the requirements of nomination
because RusliHabibie is a candidate with defamation libel status both serving a two-year probation.
In 2015 RusliHabibie as Governor of Gorontalo was found guilty by the Gorontalo District
Court of criminal action to "slander against" the Gorontalo police chief in this case Budi Waseso with
a sentence of eight months imprisonment. This certainly affects RusliHabibie's re-nomination in the
2017 election of the governor, in which the requirements of candidates for regional head according to
the commisionsofthe general election Regulation No. 5 of 2016 on candidacy require that every
candidate should not be a convicted person. As a result political tension on the election of the regional
head peaked, the act of mutually protest, mutual reporting and mutual sued between candidate pairs
and between supporters is inevitable. So this study aims to analyze the causes and processes of elite
conflict in The Election of the Regional Headof Gorontalo governor in 2017.

LITERATURE REVIEW
Conflict occurs because there is no consensus between individuals or groups within society.
Instead, consensus is formed because there is no conflict between the people or groups. In other
words, consensus is created when there is an agreement between them so as not to open the possibility
of differences of opinion in the agreed issue. Therefore, the conflict is a conflict or dissent between at
least two people or groups, whereas consensus is a consensus on a certain matter between at least two
or groups. So the conflict is based on differences, while consensus is based on equality, Maswadi
(2001). Consensus in this connection, means as the ability to defuse the conflict so that people can
take the benefit from the good and discard the bad aspects, Alfian (1978).
Duverger provides a set of causes at the individual and collective levels. This is an analysis of
the causes of conflict that use dichotomies in conflict groups such as personal conflicts and group
conflicts. Demvergers show that conflicts can be generated by personal traits and psychological
characteristics possessed by individuals. It divides factors at the individual level into individual talents
and psychological causes. The collective cause factor consists of three, namely class struggle, racial
issues, and conflicts between horizontal groups.
MaswadiRauffurther explained that the occurrence of the conflict is caused by the activities of
community members in fighting for sources, positions that are considered rare in society. Another
cause is the tendency of humans to control other people. This means that the human tendency to rule
is one of the causes of conflict.
The form of conflict resolution is the efforts undertaken to resolve or eliminate conflict by
seeking agreement between the parties involved in the conflict. In accordance with the definition of
conflict that is the difference of opinion or views of two or more parties, the conflict is resolved when
a consensus can be reached between the conflicting parties. The conflicting parties succeed in
resolving their conflict if they agree not to continue dissenting opinion because they succeed find
common ground for conflicting opinions or views.
According to Maswadi, in the settlement of the conflict is based on the change of views of
one or all of the conflict so there is no conflict between them. Thus there is a change in the view of
one or all parties involved. This is why conflict resolution is not an easy job because it is very difficult
for a person to change his or her different opinion and contradict the other person. Though it is
difficult, resolving conflicts is absolutely necessary to prevent: (1) the deeper the conflict, which
means the sharper the differences between the conflicting parties; (2) the widespread of the conflict,
which means deepening and widespread. In the absence of effective ways of resolving conflicts,
conflicts can pose a threat of societal disintegration, namely the division of society according to the
line that separates the parties to the conflict so that all or most of the people are involved in the
conflict can produce two separate and hostile groups of people . When this happens a harmonious
social relationship between citizens can notbe accomplished, which means it will cause the
disturbance of peace and order of society.
While the elites by Pareto and Mosca are defined as the ruling class that effectively
monopolizes the key posts in society. The definition of elites put forward by Pareto and Mosca is
supported by Robert Michels who believes that "iron law oligarchy" is inevitable. And any
organization, there is always strong, dominant, and able to dictate their own interests. In contrast,
Laswel argues that the elite is actually pluralistic. The figure is scattered (not a single figure), the
person himself alternates at every functional stage in the decision-making process, and his role can go
up and down depending on the situation.

Field and Higley simplify it by arguing that the elite are the people who have key positions,
which are commonly seen as a group. It is they who make general policies, which coordinate each
other to accentuate their role. According to Marvick, although the elite is often seen as an integrated
group, but true among the elite members themselves, especially with other elites often competing and
different inThe seizure of positions within the political power that occurred between RusliHabibie,
ZainuddinHasan and Hana Hasanah was in fact a struggle for scarce and limited resources. These
three groups see the rare political position (governor's seat) has high appeal to be a battle for them.
This is because of various reasons, first is the high appreciation inherent in that political positions. the
Political position gives to the rulers of power politics which is great to the community because it can
make important decisions that concern the interests of many people. However, the one who can
occupy the position is not just any, but people who are considered to have advantages over most
people. Therefore the desire to be famous and respected by the people is one of the main reasons for
the attractiveness of political position.
The communication function for the two conflicting groups according to Coser is crucial in
resolving conflicts, with communication it will be able to change the political views and attitudes
related to the issue. If communication exists between the two, there are various possible compromises
to be achieved in the conflict resolution process, either through mediators or directly by conflicting
parties. The efforts to be achieved in resolving conflicts are persuasive points or compromises that are
made persuasively in conflict resolution because there are various possibilities available.
This is also supported by Robert Michels who believes that in any organization, there is
always a strong mall group, dominant, and able to dictate their own interests and interests of their
group in order to be realized no matter in any way. The tendency of RusliHabibie as a political ruler
strives to maintain his political position, namely the governor's seat, it is not surprising that he defends
himself and his group by pursuing legal and political channels in order to participate in the election of
Gorontalo governor in 2017.
The biggest obstacle to consensus in resolving the conflict between Hana Hasanah, RusliHabibie and
ZainuddinHasan groups was the attitude of each elite group of candidates who did not want to receive
input to build consensus. This elite group of candidates still clings to their fanatical opinion without
opening up the possibility for the change of the opinion. Thus, the change of their views can only be
achieved through court institutions that handle the elections disputes. Such attitudes and views are
very difficult to achieve the consensus among conflicting group. It is because each considers his or
her opinion is correct.
RESEARCH METHOD
The Qualitative research methods (Moleong, 2006), do not emphasize the generalization, but
more emphasis toward the meaning (Sugiyono, 2012). The research was taken place in Gorontalo
Province by focusing on several places such as the Office of the commisions of the general electionof
Gorontalo Province, the Secretariat of Bawaslu of Gorontalo province, Golkar Party DPD Office of
Gorontalo, and Candidate pairs Secretariat No 1 (HATI), No 2 (NKRI) and No 3 (ZIHAD). This

2017. Furthermore, the data was collected through: (1) interview with the board of Golkar Party,
Team winning Candidate pairs HATI, NKRI and ZIHAD, Chairman and members of the

real variable which is causing the elite conflict in governance election Gorontalo Governor year 2017,
and try to find the appropriate solution between the conflicting elite.
RESULT of RESEARCH
This study shows descriptively that the conflict occurs in The Election of the Regional Head,
is a local political phenomenon that can not be avoided in every process of elections. The conflict
between elites has brought positive and negative implications to the current process of
democratization in Indonesia nowadays. By Taking into account the various data and information that
the authors obtained during the research process, the main cause of the conflict in Gorontalo governor
elections in 2017 was found. The results showed that the conflict in Gorontalo Election Year 2017
caused by the existence of contention between RusliHabibie, Fadel Muhammad and AdhanDambea.
A long contention between those three elites continues until entering the stages of the 2017 Governor
elections.
Based on the research, The Election Of The Regional Headof Gorontalo Governor in 2017
was followed by three candidate pairs namely first Hana Hasanah - Tony Junus (HATI), RulsiHabibie
- Idris Rahim (NKRI) and ZainuddinHasan - AdhanDambea (ZIHAD). The HATI couples in the
stretcher by 6 political parties namely PDI-P, PPP, GERINDRA, PKB, NASDEM and PERINDO,
then NKRI in stretcher by GOLKAR and DEMOKRAT party while the ZIHAD Pair is supported by
PAN, PKS and HANURA. During the process of the stages and the campaign period, the competition
and competition of these three candidate pairs so hard, criticism, slander, and accusing each other
between candidate pairswhich is difficult to avoid especially between FadelMuhamad elite Golkarwho
is also the husband of Hana.
The research results show that elite conflict in Gorontalo governor election of 2017 is a series
of interlinear conflict that has been going on since 2011. RusliHabibie, FadelMuhamad and
AdhanDambea are three senior figures of GolkarGorontalo where they have to face each other in The
Election Of The Regional Head in Gorontalo, starting from from The Election Of The Regional Head
Governor in 2011, then The Election Of The Regional Head Mayor of Gorontalo in 2013, until
elections of Governor in 2017, even the scent of the conflict began to be felt before the elections of
the Mayor of Gorontalo 2018. In 2011, ahead of the election of Gorontalo Governor in 2012,
RusliHabibie as chairman of DPD 1 Golkar Party of Gorontalo Province proposed the dismissal of a
number of cadres who are not loyal to the decision of the party, including AdhanDambea as Chairman
of the Golkar Party Consideration Board of Gorontalo City for supporting the candidate for governor
of the Demokrat Party.
Furthermore before the elections of Governor in 2017, FadelMuhamad as Golkar cadre of
Gorontalowas having a feud with RusliHabibie as chairman of DPD Golkar Party Gorontalo, who also
as Governor of Gorontalo.The conflict between FadelMuhamad andRusliHabibiewas happened
because FadelMuhamad pushed his wife Hana Hasanahto become Governor of Golkar party.
FadelMuhamad began to take advantage of the situation to attack RusliHabibie through a government
program that was considered failed by Fadel Muhammad to the status of convicted of RusliHabibie.
In 2013 when The Election of the Regional Head Mayor of Gorontalo took place,
RusliHabibie was wrapped up in the case with Gorontalo Police Chief in which Brig. Gen. Budi
Waseso. Then in 2015 RusliHabibie by the Gorontalo District Court was sentenced to eight months
imprisonment for proven a criminal act "sued against Budi Waseso" against the authorities, thus
making Budi Waseso removed from his posisition as head chief Gorontalo police. After the verdict,

RusliHabibie made an appeal through the High Court of Gorontalo, and the result was RusliHabibie
who is also Governor of Gorontalo sentenced to 6 months imprisonment. RusliHabibie continued to
make legal efforts through the Supreme Court's Cassation, but the Supreme Court's decision is impose
two-year suspended sentence without being imprisoned.
The status of convicted 2-year trial attached to RusliHabibie as a candidate petahana exploited
by political opponent in this case RusliHabibie to attack and knock the NKRI pair. RusliHabibie Idris Rahim is deemed not to fulfill the nomination requirements as stipulated in Law Number 10 of
2016 regarding the Election of Regional Head of article 163 paragraph (8) which states that " the
candidate for Governor and / or Vice Governor is determined to be a convict based on a court decision
who has obtained a permanent legal force at the time of inauguration, in this case the candidates
remains inaugurated as Governor and / or Vice Governor and immediately dismissed as Governor and
/ or Vice Governor at the same time". Then another provision in the commision of the general election
rule Number 5 in the year of 2016about the Candidacy demanding that the Candidate Pair is not a
convicted person. This situation makes RusliHabibie threatened not to qualify for candidacy in 2017
elections.
The effort being made RusliHabibie to lobby the politics is finally reaping the result. At the
end of August of 2016, there is a request for revision to the commisionsofthe general election No. 5
the year 2016, that those who are on probation remain allowed to become candidates. It is because
according to the Criminal Code, the status of the convicted trial does not make a person lose the
political right to be elected and vote. The commision of the general election remains firm, that the
convict must not be a candidate pairs, regardless of the type of punishment. However, the
Government and Parliament have the right to express their views and attitudes officially to be the
basis for the thecommisionsofthe general election rules. It is because in Law No. 10 in 2016, states
that the thecommisionsofthe general election is obliged to obey the decision of the legislator.
This situation made the pair of Hana HasanahFadelMuhamad - Tony Junus (HATI), and pain
of ZainuddinHasan - AdhanDambea (ZIHAD) as a competitor of NKRI intensively doing the protest
by demonstrating, asking Bawaslu and the commisionsofthe general election of Gorontalo Province to
remove RusliHabibie - Idris Rahim from candidacy for allegedly using an engineered nomination
document. Even FadelMuhamad as a senior figure of Golkar participated in Bawaslu, asking for
explanation as well as requesting that RusliHabibie canceled his candidacy as a candidate for
Gorontalo.The harshness of the pressure made BawasluGorontalo Province conducted a search and
clarification together with Gorontalo Provincial the commisionsofthe general election by examining
the truth of requirements documents as requested by Candidate pairs HATI and ZIHAD.
From the findings, Bawaslu and the commisionsofthe general election found that
RusliHabibie submitted a copy of quotation the document not a copy of the verdict. The reason that
the commisionsofthe general election received the document was because the copy of the verdict had
not been received. So that Bawaslu and the commisionsofthe general election considering the passage
and the verdict could be used as a condition of nomination for the Candidate Pair. The engineering of
the document as it has already been alleged is not proven. It is because the result of the investigation
conducted by Bawaslu on January 4, 2017whic is conducted a search to the Gorontalo District Court
find that the alleged engineering was not proven. Furthermore the urgency of the copy and the verdict
on RusliHabibie as a convict is true that RusliHabibie is sentenced to 1 year in prison and 2 years
probation. In addition Bawaslu conducted consultations related to the matter to Bawaslu of Republic
of Indonesia regarding the essence between the passage and the verdict is the same. Therefore,
Bawaslu concludes that RusliHabibie qualifies as a candidate and there is no administrative violation,
so that the request for cancellation by HATI and ZIHAD candidate pairs to Bawaslu is stopped
because there was no violation element.

This causedBawaslu and the commisionsofthe general election of Gorontalo Province
reported to the Council of election supervisory board because it was considered to have violated the
code of ethics as the organizer. The report was countered by election supervisory board by deciding to
stop the lawsuit submitted by Candidate pairs HATI, where the complaint did not meet the violation
element code of the election organizer. The commisions of the general election and Bawaluof
Gorontalo have carried out their duties in accordance with the laws and regulations.
DISCUSSION
This research was showing that elite conflict in the election of governor and vice governor of
Gorontalo in 2017 has caused the political situation of Gorontalo become less conducive. During the
process of The Election of the Regional Head stages, there are disputes or disputes, either individually
or in groups. The three parties have a desire to drop, get rid of or defeat each other. The process of the
conflict of The Election of the Regional Head contributed the effect to the development of the
democracy development in Gorontalo, especially in the aspect of political education to the
community. One of the causes of interlinear conflict in The Election of the Regional Head of
Gorontalo governor is the result of power struggle in winning the battle to become Governor and Vice
Governor of GorontaloPerode 2017-2021.
The action of mutual lawsuit committed by HATI and ZIHAD couples against Candidate
pairs NKRI has caused political chaos especially among the elite until the fellow supporters of the
candidate pairs. NKRI Candidate pairs desirable by Candidate pairs HATI and ZIHAD to be crossed
out by the Election Commission of Gorontalo Province because of the status of the convicts that befell
RusliHabibie as a pertahana candidate for governor. Various way ws conducted by Hana Hasanah Tonny S. Junus candidate pair and ZainudinHasan - AdhanDambea to defeat the pair of NKRI as a
candidate petahana, because the results of the survey placed electability and popularity of both of then
was very high, due to various breakthroughs when leading Gorontalo was effecting the big result
which can be felt of the people of Gorontalo
In the election in February 15 2017, the pair ofRusliHabibie - Idris Rahim led the 50.65
percent vote with 326,033 votes, in the second position was Hana HasanahFadel - Tonny S. Junus
with 25.85 percent or 166,431 votes, while the third position achieved by ZainudinHasan AdhanDambea as much as 23.50 percent or 151201 votes. The voter participation rate reached 81.6
percent. The election results were then sued by Hana Hasanah's partner - Tonny S. Junusinto the
Constitutional Court. In its decision, the Constitutional Court judges based on legal considerations,
even though the applicant is a candidate pair, the applicant does not meet the requirements for filing
the petition as regulated in Law Number 10 in 2016 on Regional Head Election and Constitutional
Court Regulation.
In May 10, 2017, President JokoWidodo issued Presidential Decree No. 54 / P of 2017 on the
legalization of RusliHabibie - Idris Rahim as Governor and Deputy Governor of Gorontalo from 2017
to 2022, which was followed by an inauguration in May 12, 2017 in Istana Negara. In May 19 2017,
Gorontalo held the handover from the Governor's Task to the elected Governor which was attended
by the General Director of Regional Autonomy. The political situation of Gorontalo is heating up
again when RusliHabibie will be dismissed as Governor of Gorontalo because of the status of the
convicted person as regulated in Law No. 10 in 2016 on Regional Head Election and Act No. 23 in
2014 on Regional Government is spreaded.

According to Sumarsono (2017), Law No. 10 in 2016 about the Election of the regional head
Article 163 (8) regulates the dismissal of the Governor and Vice Governor with the status of the
convicted person. However RusliHabibie is a convicted person before being appointed as the
candidate pair of Gorontalo Governor in 2017 by 2014 Election Commission (the commisions of the
general election) .It means that if he should be dismissed, then RusliHabibie should not be eligible as
a candidate for governor. When RusliHabibie being nominated, the convicted status has already been
attached to himself.Because the law of crime was light and not included in the category of immediate
dismissed such as corruption and drugs, then RusliHabibie passes as a candidate for Governor. It is
unfair, when he passed as a candidate for Governor, participate in elections and win, thenhewas
inducted and dismissed.
The interpretation of Article 163 must be responded wisely. The Minister of Home Affairs'
consideration is very appropriate, where RusliHabibie and Idris Rahim are supported by more than
half of the people of Gorontalo. This is evident if the two figures are supported by the majority of the
people of Gorontalo.Then; if it has been inaugurated by the President then all the friction of dissent
and all formal and informal arguments should be ended. That is because the position of the President
as the highest power holder in Indonesia. As it meant in Article 1 of the 1945 Constitution the highest
power holder is the President.
After the inauguration of RusliHabibie - Idris Rahim as Governor and Vice Governor of
Gorontalo in 2017-2022 period, a number of NGOs such as Gorontalo Provincial Government
Supervisory Agency (LP3-G) and People's Rights Enforcement Institution (YAPHARA) as an NGO
institution targeted by AdhanDambea to sue the Presidential Decree through PTUN Jakarta with the
register number of case 126 / G / 2017 / PTUN-JKT dated June 13 the year of 2017. The lawsuit was
questioning the Presidential Decree of JokoWidodo who appointed RusliHabibie as Governor of
Gorontalo as opposed to the Law No. 10 of 2016 about the Regional Head Election.
Based on the results of the research, long before the election began RusliHabibiewas
conducting the material test related to Law No. 10 of 2016 on the Election of Regional Head to the
Constitutional Court. In the matterial of his lawsuit related to Article 7 Paragraph (2) with phrases
never being convicted and a phrase of elected candidates who are threatened with crime for 5 years,
then Article 163 Paragraph (7) and (8) Law Number 10 Year 2016 in which states that the defendant
status when he/she have already been innaugurated and immediately dismisses, the phrase was no
longer valid. The Constitutional Court decision on July 19, 2017 is appropriated with the provisions of
other legislation, namely Law No. 23 the year of 2014about Regional Government. In which in the
provision, it has been declared that a regional head can be dismissed if he/she set as a convict with the
threat of five years in prison. Thus all forms of lawsuits and legal remedies including the
Administrative Court of the Presidential Decree on the inauguration of Governor / Vice Governor
RusliHabibi - Idris Rahim period 2017-2022 are declared unacceptable.
CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
The results of this study can be concluded as follow: First, the cause of the elite conflict in the
election of Governor and Vice Governor Gorontalot 2017 caused by the Golkar Party's inter-ethnic
conflict in Gorontalo that occurred between RusliHabibie, FadelMuhamad and AdhanDambea, these
three figures was tthe elites who were starting their conflict since 2011. The conflict has always
surrounding the political dynamics of Gorontalo from 2011 to 2017.Adham Dambea and a number of
elite Golkar Party were dismissed from the party's membership due to support in the Governor
elections in 2012. Ahead of the election of Mayor of Gorontalo in 2013, AdhanDambea as the mayor
petahana was crossed out from his candidacy a day before the voting period. AdhanDambea believes
that it happends because of RusliHabibie's interference which is so powerful in the The Election of the
Regional Head of the Mayor of Gorontalo.

Secondly, RusliHabibie was involved in a conflict with Budi Waseso the head chief of
Gorontalo police which is causing the Chief of the Police to be transferred to MabesPolri. Budi
Waseso was then does not want to easily accept the fact that he has been transfered in which at the
same time he was also hold the position of Kabareskrim was dealing with the complaint and also
criminalizing RusliHabibie through the District Court of Gorontalo in 2015 with a sentence of 8
months in prison. RusliHabibie made an appeal and the result of Governor Gorontalo in criminal with
6 months imprisonment. In addition, the problem was not stop yet, RusliHabibie was then submit the
the to the Supreme Court in 2016 with the result of a decision of 1 year in prison and 2 years of trial.
Third, the feud between RusliHabibie and FadelMuhamad occurred since
2016.FadelMuhamad maneuvered by criticizing RusliHabibie who was considered failed to prosper
the people of Gorontalo.Besides, FadelMuhamad attacked RusliHabibie because of his convicted
status. Right after entering the 2017 Governor election, the conflict between these two members of
Golkar party was reaching a crest. It is because of Fadel was willing to prevent RusliHabibie from
getting the nomination recommendation from DPP of Golkar Party. RusliHabibiewas fought against
FadelMuhamad, by reporting FadelMuhamad to DPP Golkar Party because of his attitude that harms
Golkar Party in Gorontalo, and he did not want to support the candidate pair which was proposed by
Golkar Party. Finally FadelMuhamad was dismissed from strategic position in DPP ofGolkarparty by
dismissing the post of Secretary of the Golkar Party's DPP Advisory Council, then dismissing him
from the position as Chairman of Commission IV of DPR RI from the Golkar Party Faction.
Thus, the researcher further recommends that: (1) recommend that all local political elites can
better promote good political education to the community, followers and supporters. Use the wise and
elegant ways to solve every political problem in order to accomplish the future political order, (2) The
mechanism of election conflict resolution by election regime, namely the commisionsofthe general
election, Election Supervisory Commitee, election supervisory board, Supreme Court and
Constitutional Court really uphold high values of justice and Human Rights.

Abstract
Communism had become one of the hottest issues that determined the dynamics of local politics in the
2017 Banten Governor Election. This issue madeWahidin Halim defeated the strong and incumbent
candidate, Rano Karno, who was rumored as the son of Lekra – communist-affiliated organization –
figure. This paper explains why and how the issue of communism developed in the latest local politics
event and how it was paradox with the historical root of communism in Banten.

INTRODUCTION
Communism is an ideology banned in Indonesia. Likewise the Indonesian Communist Party
(PKI) is a forbidden political party because it uses communist ideology and is officially regarded as
the most responsible party to the so-called 30 September Movement of the Communist Party of
Indonesia (G30S / PKI) 1965. The PKI was depicted in the New Order propaganda as a party which
controls the takeover of power in the G30S / PKI event and is described as brutally kidnapping,
torturing, killing and burying some army Generals.
The G30S / PKI event was then described plainly in Arifin C Noer's film titled Betrayal of the
Communists (Pengkhianatan G30S / PKI). The film was aired every September 30 night on TVRI
during New Order era. This was part of the government proganda that placed the PKI as a ghost
occasionally rise. After years of absence since reform era in 1998, some parties - notably the military have initiated watching this movie together in 2016. Memory against the threat of communism had
been called back, just ahead of the 2017 Regional Head Elections.
At the same time, the issue of China's threat as a communist state was also a national issue,
including the issue of illegal entry of Chinese immigrants in some areas. This issue might be prepared
to face the Jakarta gubernatorial election, which one of the candidates was a Chinese descent.
Moreover, the dominance of the Governor's Election Jakarta in the preaching cut programmatic issues

in other areas such as poverty and unemployment. In fact, Banten in 2017 along with Jakarta and
other regions also holds a regional head election.
The issue of communism became one of the most important issues in the elections of the
Governor of Banten. Rano Karno, one of the governor candidates, was rumored as the son of the
People's Cultural Institute (LEKRA), the PKI's artist wing. The intense allegations followed by the
growing anti-communist sentiment among Muslims prompted Rano Karno to excel in various surveys
before the election was finally lost.
As a matter of fact, the strength of anti-communist sentiment was actually paradox with local
political history in Banten. Communism had existed since the 1920s in Banten and was linked to key
Muslim figures of the independence movement in 1945.
This paper describes how the historical roots of communism in Banten colored the national
movement in Banten against the colonial. Also, how the suspected group as part of the PKI received
difficult treatment throughout the New Order period. Closed with the issue of communism that
ultimately determines the results of Pilkada Banten 2017.
Communism Rebbelion 1926
The historical roots of communism in Banten could be traced to the membership of two ISDV
(Indische Social Democratische Vreeniging) executives living in Banten: Hasan Djajadiningrat and
J.C. Stam. ISDV itself was the first Marxist party in Asia founded by Henk Sneevliet. Hasan
Djajadiningrat, the younger brother of Serang Ahmad Djajadiningrat, although a member of the ISDV
but has a liberal front and declared himself a follower of the German socialist reformist Lesalle.
Meanwhile Stam worked in Serang and Rangkasbitung as a teacher from 1916-1919. He later became
a member of the Executive Board when the PKI was formed in May 1920 and proposed by his party
to become a candidate for the Volksraad. (Williams, 1982: 14)
Another ISDV figure was G.J van Munster who was a teacher of OSVIA (Opleidings School
voor Inlandsche Ambtenaren) or a Dutch government administration school for prospective Native
(Bumiputera) employees in Serang. But Munster's influence was not big enough. He was then
repatriated to the Netherlands by the Dutch colonial government for his involvement in the
communist movement.
Organizations with a large influence at the national level as well as Banten are the Railway
Workers' Union (VSTP). In July 1922 VSTP held a grand meeting in Labuan with its keynote speaker
communist Semaun. VSTP also organized strikes in various regions. The colonial government then
held an act of repression, including firing many workers. One of them was Raden Oesadiningrat, a
relative of Achmad Jayadiningrat. Oesadiningrat then settled in Pandeglang and became a full day
Committee of VSTP. At the height of the conflict in Sarekat Islam of 1923-1924, Oesadiningrat made
various efforts to establish the Sarekat Rakjat including inviting PKI figures such as Alimin and
Musso. (Williams, 1982: 17)
Another important figure in the communist movement in Pandeglang, Banten, was Tubagus
Alipan, an activist of the Labor Printing Workers in Temanggung. He then returned to Pandeglang in
1925 at the request of PKI Dharsono. Alipan came to Banten with Puradisastra who then led the PKI
section of Banten. The third person who then raised the PKI in Banten was Achmad Bassaif, an Arab
descendant who lived in Serang, an alumnus of Al-Irsjad Batavia school.

Bassaif was fluent in Arabic and has profound Islamic knowledge. Bassaif initially led the
PKI on the Five Bridge, Batavia area where there are many Banten people. The Banten people who
were recruited then asked to go home to assist the PKI in Banten. Bassaif then led the PKI subsection
of Tangerang and later in 1925 assisted in the establishment of the 37th PKI section in Banten.
(Williams, 1982: 20)
Bassaif made efforts to expand the influence of the PKI with a cultural approach. He asked
Tubagus Alipan and other figures Tubagus Hilman to re-use his Tubagus title. Whereas Alipan stated
that he had no longer perform the obligations as a Muslim and no longer use the title Tubagus while in
Java (center).
The use of the Tubagus title and the approach to Islamic procedures made the PKI widely
accepted. Including more raised issues of community life difficulties and promise pension assistance
for the descendants of the Sultan of Banten. One of the momentum was when the PKI managed to
organize about 200 prijajis to sign the petition in August 1925, requested that all persons with title
"Tubagus" and "Queen" get a pension from the Governor-General of the Netherlands.
Bassaif's role defused the suspicion and hatred of the Banten people against the communist
ideology of the PKI. Although there was a public outcry Banten caused by Puradisastra statement that
he was an atheist and drink coffee in the month of Ramadan. Bassaif is assisted by other PKI figures
with strong Islamic knowledge from West Sumatra, Hasanuddin. This is in line with the PKI's
strategy of recruiting scholars and jawara, as Bassaif's statement (in Williams 1982: 22)
"In general, the most important aspect of our movement is the recruitment of
individuals who have great influence on the masses, the militant ulama
(Islamic scholars) and jawara. Our efforts are based on the width of the gap
between the people and the government. So, in the end, our movement grew
so rapidly far beyond our previously imagined targets."
One of the most important Ulama in Banten who joined PKI was Tb. Achmad Chotib, former
Chairman of Sarekat Islam Labuan and daughter-in-law of K.H. Asnawi from Caringin. Chatib
mobilized his followers from the Labuan-Caringin region both from Sarekat Islam, colleagues and
relatives, including Tb. Emed son K.H. Asnawi to join the PKI.
Other Scholars who joined the PKI were Kyai Moekri from Labuan, Kyai Yahya from Petir,
and Kyai Abdul Hadi from Bangko. The joining of Kyai attracted the joining of santri and villagers.
The promise offered by the PKI was the independence of colonial oppression and the end of
the oppression of kafir governments and free of taxes. Also, the freedom of the scholars to preach.
During this time, sermon was supervised by the government. Moreover, the non-government Ulama
were considered in a marginal position, unlike the penghulu who were the colonial apparatus.
(Wlliams, 1982: 52)
PKI also recruited other class named Jawara, those with martial arts and weapons, and used
them to achieve its goals. The Jawara took control of the markets and fish auctions and recruited
laborers to work in Batavia or Sumatra. However, this jawara respected and obeyed Ulama.
The role of these two groups made the PKI increasingly spread to various regions. Originally
centered in Serang, but since March 1926 then spread to Pandeglang and Lebak. (Wlliams, 1982: 55)
This development was also driven by the revolutionary and aggressive attitude of the PKI
members. Farmers in various villages for example refused to help, even persecuted those who refused

to join the PKI. In the village of Bangkayung sub-district of Cening Pandeglang, farmers who refused
to join were bullied by boycotted from village events and even their front trees were cleared. This is
for Bassaif to be considered as a chance to show up for new developments, awaiting the maturity of
revolutionary action. Solidarity is indispensable and those who do not join are considered Dutch
accomplices. (Wlliams, 1982: 57)
Other situations that developed at the time were the belief that red PKI members' cards had
magical powers, some weddings in villages near Labuan that did not present penghulu, some peasants
who continued to fast and refused to celebrate Eid. In the Taktakan village Serang, the villagers
claimed that their village had magical powers to make the government official paralyzed. The Chinese
in some places were persecuted and robbed, and forced to donate funds to the PKI's treasury.
(Wlliams, 1982: 59)
When PKI decided to hold a rebellion based on the Prambanan conference, it was decided to
form an illegal organization, Dubbel Organisatie (DO). This socialization was delivered throughout
the Netherlands Indies, including Banten. For that Winata PKI Batavia leaders met the PKI leaders in
Banten such as Bassaif, Puradisastra, Achmad Chatib, Kyai Moekrie and Entol Enoh. Plus Alipan and
Soelaiman, they are the committee of the establishment of DO Banten region. They then arranged the
DO committee member at a meeting in Dalung, Serang.
Achmad Chatib opened the meeting with prayer and also conveyed the hadith of jihad when
spreading Islam. He conveyed the prophet Muhammad also faced difficulties and did not hesitate to
fight. "Because dirty cloth must be washed with soap, a filthy world must be cleaned with
blood"(Wlliams, 1982: ).
Achmad Chatib was appointed as President of PKI, Banten Section. Ishak was appointed as
PKI President of Banten with Haji Mohammed Noer as secretary and Arman as treasurer. In the DO
organization, Hasanuddin was appointed as President and Soleiman as his deputy. Interestingly in the
meeting also recorded a name such as Tje Mamat who will someday be hostile to Achamd Chatib
around the revolution of independence.
In the process before the uprising, the PKI figures of Banten were arrested. Initially
Puradisastra who fled to Garut, Achmad Bassaif who left Banten prepare action in Batavia, and
Hasanuddin who was arrested in Batavia. While in Serang prison detained Djarkasih, Ayip Achmad,
Arman and Hajj Mochamad Noer, followed Tb. Hilman and Ishak. The de facto leadership of the PKI
Banten was in the hands of Achmad Chatib in preparing for the uprising, including raising funds and
seeking weapons. Until finally on October 23, 1926 Achmad Chatib was captured by Veldopolitie
police.
The uprising finally took place on November 12th, centered in Labuan and Menes. The action
was fierce but failed to spread to other areas. The target of mastering Pandeglang failed. Military
reinforcements led by Captain Becking from Batavia soon took control of the situation. While in
Serang the action of rebellion is centered only in Petir in a small escalation. The latest incident
occurred on November 15th in Labuan when the rebel attacked Military Barrack of Captain Becking,
but could be defeated.
The PKI rebels later received punishment from the Dutch colonial government. Four people
were sentenced to death, nine were sentenced to life and 99 were banished to Digul. Those discharged
to digul mostly are PKI figures in Banten such as Achmad Bassaif, Achmad Chotib, Tb. Emed, and so
on.

Interestingly, eleven of the 99 people were religious teachers, 27 others were hajj (whereas
the total number of pilgrims from the total 100 Digul prisoners is only 59). Some of the 17 pilgrims,
10 of them had settled for 2-3 years in Mecca. (Williams, 1982: 59)
K.H. Asnawi Caringin who, although not involved, was exiled intoJakarta then Cianjur. He
returned to Banten in 1934 and died in 1937. Leadership at pesantren was followed by Achmad
Chatib after his exile in 1940.
There were also some PKI figures who fled. Tb. Alipan and Tje Mamat, for example, fled to
Malaya via Palembang and joined the Partai Republik Indonesia (PARI) established by Tan Malaka.
(Ensering, 1995: 141)
1926 Alumny in the 1945 Revolution
During the Japanese occupation, Achmad Chotib joined the Defenders of the Homeland
(PETA) and became Daidancho in Labuan. In 1942 Tan Malaka returned to Indonesia via Teluk
Betong and met with Tje Mamat. Tan Malaka then worked in Bayah, Lebak-Banten as a scribe by the
name of Ilyas Husein. (Ensering, 1995)
When at the end of August 1945, a meeting was held among the community leaders of Banten
to fill the gap of officials in the local government. The meeting was attended by representatives of
youth, jawara and women representatives, housed in the house of Dzolkarnaen Soeria Karta Legawa,
former chairman of Shu Sangikai (Advisory Council of Residency) Banten in Serang.
The meeting, among other things, decided the following: the takeover of power from the
hands of Japan handed over to Dzolkarnaen Soeria Karta Legawa, the affairs relating to the bodies of
the struggle submitted to Ali Amangku. The meeting by acclamation chooses K.H. Tb. Achmad
Chatib as the Banten Resident who handles the civilian government. To that end, they urged the
Central Government to immediately appoint it and to handle military affairs submitted to K.H.
Sjam'un, former Daidancho of Cilegon. On October 6, 1945, Chatib was later officially appointed by
the central government to be the Resident.
One of the initial policies of the Resident was to appoint some old officials to occupy his
position, among them the Regents were R. Hilman Djajadiningrat (Regent of Serang), Mr. Djumhana
(Pandeglang Regent) and R. Hardiwinangun (Lebak Regent). (Suharto, 1996)
This raises the anger of the People's Council led by Tje Mamat.
Actually, the official position of Tje Mamat was the Chairman of the Indonesian National
Commission (KNI) Serang District. But as the leader of the Dewan Rakyat (The People Council), on
27 October 1945 he took power in the Residency of Banten. Tje Mamat kidnapped Hilman
Djajadiningrat Regent Serang who immediately released TKR. The Dewan Rakyat also formed a
military force called Laksar Gulkut who committed terror, especially to the element of the civil
service. The Dewan Rakyat also arrested Lt. Col. Entol Ternan Commander of Regiment III 1000 / I
Division and Oskar Koesoemaningrat, the chief of the Banten Residency Police
Ultimately Chatib instructed Sjam`un to destroy the People's Council directly at his base in
Ciomas, Serang. The People's Council was surrounded and its leaders arrested, including Ali Bassaif.
(Suharto, 1996)
Tje Mamat had escaped to Lebak, re-build his troops, control Rangkasbitung and reshape the
Lebak police from the element of Jawara. The Dewan Rakyat also kills the Regent of Lebak

Hardiwinangun. Finally broke the battle with TKR and Tje Mamat fled to Bogor and then caught
there and submitted to TKR Purwakarta.
It appears that the political struggle around the independence revolution centered on the
alumni of the 1926 PKI uprising in Banten. Achmad Chatib was, of course, the main figure of the
1926 uprising. Achmad Chotib's opponent Tje Mamat was the Secretary of the PKI Anyer and was
actively involved in various meetings and movements to prepare for the uprising. This is why when
on October 27, 1945 Tje Mamat declared taking over power in Banten, Achmad Chatib accepted. He
has long friendship with Tje Mamat and prevents bloodshed. (Ensering, 1995: 152)
Communism in Banten, 1965 and The Beginning of New Order
There were not many records of communism and PKI in Banten since the Tje Mamat
incident. But in the era of the old order PKI developed as in other areas as an official political party.
However, there are two important notes, namely the role of the PKI in the formation of Banten
Province which becomes an obstacle, and the fate of the trikora steel factory workers in Cilegon who
were considered to be affiliated with the PKI.
The idea of establishing Banten Province has been started since 1963. At that time Regent
Serang, Gogo Sandjadisdja, held a meetingwith some community figures in Banten Regency Serang.
In the meeting that for the first time initiated the idea of the need for Residency Banten become its
own province. This idea is then manifested by forming Committee "Establishment of Banten
Province" (PPB).
The committee was chaired by the Regent of Serang itself with the board representing the
existing parties. Eventually formed the Committee of Banten Province led by Gogo Sandjadirdja
(PSII) as chairman, Vice Chairman were Ayip Dzuhri (NU / National Front), Entol Mansur (PNI /
National Front), Sukra (PKI / National Front), and members M. Sanusi ( PSII / Front Nasoional),
Toha (PKI / Member of DPR-GR Serang), Tb. Suhari Chatib (PSII). (Mulyana, 2009: 44)
In various subsequent meetings with the central government and DPR-GR, this proposal
received a festive reception. The development of the seemingly successful movement was seen by the
PKI as an opportunity. DN Aidit as Chairman of the PKI CC immediately formed the CDB (Central
District Bureau), a provincial level organ of the PKI in Banten-led by Dachlan Riva'i. Dachlan later
formed the Banten Revolutionary Council. The aggressive step by PKI made the central suspicion that
the agenda for the establishment of Banten Province was the agenda of the PKI. So, after the events of
1965, elements of the PKI issued from the Committee for the Establishment of Banten Province.
(Mulyana, 1995, 43)
However, the stigma of PKI involvement had an effect on the second attempt of the formation
of Banten Province. In order to develop new forces, the committee began to involve activists of the
Angkatan 66 in Jakarta and Bandung from Banten. Kodam Siliwangi observes this movement
seriously because of concerns that the establishment of Banten Province will be exploited by the
remnants of the PKI. Secretary of the Provincial Committee of Banten, H. Rahmatullah Sidik, told
that he and Tubagus Kaking (Treasurer of PPB) always get strict supervision from Kodam VI
Siliwangi. (Mansur, 2001: 89 and 104).
But the efforts of the committee still running. On April 20, 1967 formulated the
"Commitment of Committee of Banten Province". The contents begin with an explanation why
Banten province is worthy to be formed. This was responded by Kodam Siliwangi doing repressive

action by arresting and examining some Banten Province activist in 1967. They are Moch. sanusi
leader PSII (Vice Chairman of DPRD-GR Tk II Serang) and Tb. Kaking.
Mochamad Sanusi's detention was carried out in connection with his cousin, Adjunct
Commissioner of Police Atje Chutbi (Serang District BPH) allegedly involved in the Banten
Revolutionary Council. Incidentally also, his son named Cholid is a pemuda Rakyat (PKI) activist
group B. Both Atje Chutbi and Cholid not including the board or activist of Banten Province.
Excessively, the Pangdam Siliwangi Major General H.R. Dharsono made the statement quoted by the
Pikiran Rakyat daily, which essentially pointed this movement as a PKI pattern (Mulyana, 2009: 55).
Military suspicion and repression according to Sutisna's notes (2001: 20-21) were attributed
to three things. First, the PKI was involved in the formation movement of Banten Province in 1963.
Secondly, the PKI appears to be aggressively forming the organization of the PKI CDB, the
provincial-level organ when the province of Banten has not been established. Third, the trauma of the
Tje Mamat rebellion which is considered communist representation in Banten in the era of the
independence revolution.
Along with the suspicion among the military that the formation of Banten Province was coopted by the remnants of the PKI then Maj. Gen. Ibrahim Adjie, Siliwangi Military Commander
inaugurated the Military Resort Command (Korem) 064 Maulana Yusuf in Serang in 1966. Korem
Maulana Yusuf under the leadership of Senior Colonel Danrem Anwar Padmawijaya was then
assigned to carry out Bhakti Siliwangi operation in Banten area.
The target of this operation was to eliminate the remnants of the PKI and stem the efforts of
the "political reincarnation" of the PKI in Banten as well as divert the attention of the Banten people
from the issue and the great agenda of realizing the province of Banten. This infrastructure project
succeeded in building a public meeting hall in Serang, rehabilitating the port of Karangantu,
renovating the Grand Mosque of Banten, the construction of IAIN Sunan Gunung Djati Serang
branch, Building Cicurug Malingping Dam, Batukuwung Bathing, and so on. (Mansur, 2001: 89)
The question was, who worked in infrastructure development in Banten in bhakti siliwangi
operations? They were political prisoners (tapol, tahanan politik) deemed to be related to the PKI in
the 1965 incident. One who soon became a large political prisoner in Banten was a worker at the
Trikora Steel Plant (Pabrik Baja Trikora, PBT) Cilegon who joined the Trikora Steel Workers' Union
(SBBT) under the Central Indonesian Labor Organization (Serikat Organisasi Buruh Seluruh
Indonesia, SOBSI). SOBSI itself has a close relationship with the PKI. Immediately after the events
of the G30S, hundreds of SBBT members were arrested and became political prisoners of category B.
One of them is Djoko Sri Moeljono, the first metallurgical bachelor in Indonesia who worked
in PBT. He arrested because his name is listed in the SBBT committee. Later he and hundreds
political prisoners forcibly employed in Operation Bhakti Siliwangi such as Romusha. Various
projects undertaken by Djoko and other political prisoners include the rehabilitation of highway
networks throughout Banten, dredging the port of Karangantu, the construction of the University of
Maulana Yusuf, and the restoration of the Kuwung Rock resting place. In 1971 Djoko was exiled to
Buru Island and released in 1978. (Moeljono, 2013)
The use of political prisoners by the Military and Government of the Siliwangi bhakti
operation seems to have succeeded in achieving other objectives in addition to gathering popular
support with concrete evidence of infrastructure development and diversion of issues from the will of
the establishment of Banten Province, providing an example of how those involved in the PKI were
punished and treated as forced laborers.

Communism, the risen Ghost in Banten elections 2017
Communism and the PKI under the New Order were later declared an ideology and a
forbidden party. It is also inseparable from the narratives built in official history books that put the
PKI as an actor of the September 30th insurrectionary movement. The earliest narrative was the 40th
Day of G30S Failure published in 1965, Nugroho accused the PKI of being the only coup d'etat of
1965 and portraying communism as an anti-God ideology that was deemed incompatible with the
values adopted by the Indonesian people.
Another form is the creation of propaganda in the form of film. The film, later titled 'Betrayal
G30S / PKI' was also approved by Soeharto in 1983. The film's director, Arifin C. Noer, was chosen
on the recommendation of Goenawan Mohamad. Since 1984, this film was regularly played on
television every September 30 to 1997. It appears that Soeharto's New Order is very diligent in
promoting the ideology of anti-communism into the midst of Indonesian society.
The main political power of the New Order which stood on the corpse of the PKI was Golkar.
In practice, Golkar tries to appear dominant in all regions of Indonesia, including in Banten. In
Banten, the government of the new order through Golkar and the Military specifically embraced the
Ulama and Jawara to support Golkar. For the Ulama, the New Order government supported by
Millitary formed the organization of the Satuan Karya (Satkar) Ulama. It was so important to attempt
to "tame" these Ulama, until President Soeharto stepped in to meet directly with the Ulama. At a
meeting between President Soeharto and K.H. Mahmud in Batukuwung, Kiai Mahmud and the
several Kiais declared themselves as supporters of Golkar. So, on May 3, 1970 stood the organization
Satkar Ulama, with Chairman K.H. Mahmud. (Sudiati Artati, 1988: 45)
The new order regime also organized the Jawara by forming the organization of Satuan Karya
(Satkar) Jawara in 1971. Satkar champion led by H. Tubagus Chasan Sochib. The inaugurator was
General Soerono. The formation of Satkar Jawara was held in Batukuwung Serang, attended by
Danrem 064 / Maulana Yusuf Banten, Kol. Inf. Anwar Padmawijaya, Commander VI / Siliwangi,
West Java Governor, Solichin GP, and several national leaders. (Hamid, 2009)
The rise of Golkar through Ulama and Jawara was inseparable from the anti-communist
narratives that were built and maintained. At the end of the New Order, for example, when the Special
Session of 1998, Golkar took Embay Mulya Syarief, Chairman of the Banten Community AntiCommunist Movement (GAKMB) to send thousands of Pam Swakarsa members from Banten.
(Kompas, March 28, 2001)
This anti-communist narrative was formed throughout Indonesia and entered into the
subconscious. Communism became a frightening ghost although since the events of 1965 until now
no one has ever seen the form of his resurrection. At least three things stick in the mind when hearing
the PKI or communism in Indonesia: Atheist or anti-God, Cruel and inhumane and those associated
with the PKI should be punished.
So also in the religious society of Banten. The issue of the PKI was easily played to bring
down political opponents. The election of the Governor of Banten in 2017 became the momentum of
the PKI issue raised as it coincided with the elections of DKI 2018. In Jakarta, one candidate is
Basuki Tjahaya Purnama (Ahok) who is of Chinese descent. This is in tandem with the issue of illegal
Chinese immigrants allegedly partly army. The Chinese communist state is rumored to have military
infiltration into Indonesia.
Because the elections of the Governor of Banten coincide with Jakarta, the real issues in
Banten such as unemployment, poverty or education were drowned with issues of this kind

disseminated nationally. Especially since 2015, the TNI called for watching with the G30 S / PKI
Uprising Movement in the regions, including in schools.
In 2017, the TNI Commander officially instructed TNI units to perform screenings and watch
together the G30S / PKI Betrayal Movement. Through the telegram number ST / 1192/2017, the
commander said that the screening grounds were a form of "vigilance against the rampant screening
of The Look of Silence, the 1965 tragedy and historical propaganda activities."
The same telegram also mentioned that the screening was to "recall the 1965 G30S / PKI
rebellion, especially for the younger generation who did not understand the PKI and its latent danger."
(Triyana, 21 September 2017)
In the context of a new-order proganda film, there were at least three goals for the film. First,
it served as a medium for treating the mass trauma of PKI abominations as it has been broadcast for
years through printed media affiliated to the Army. Second, part of the ruling hegemony over
collective memory. Third, aims to legitimize the power of Suharto as the savior of the nation from
national bankruptcy due to the communist movement(Triyana, 21 September 2017).
The issue of the rise of communism in Banten was launched by one of the candidates for
Banten Governor Wahidin Halim, who said that he felt public anxiety about the threat of the rise of
the PKI in Banten. "This opinion is growing in the public. I convey what people have been worried
about all this time. Of course the TNI and Police institutions are also committed to prevent the revival
of the PKI ". (Newsmedia.co.id, 2017)
Although not directly mentioned, the issue emerged that one of the candidates of the
Governor of Banten Rano Karno, Soekarno M Noer was rumored as a member of the People's Culture
Institute (Lekra), an artist institution affiliated to the PKI. This issue is widespread mainly through
social media, especially whatsapp groups of pesantren and civil servants.
Rano Karno clarified this by coming to KH. Ma`ruf Amin, Chairman of Indonesian Ulama
Council from Tanara, Banten. Ma`ruf later said that Soekarno M Noer was not a member of LEKRA,
but a LESBUMI activist, an NU artist organization. (JPNN.com, 2017).
Another accusation is that one of the PDIP figures, Rano Karno's ruling party Ribka
Tjiptaning once authored and published a book entitled, "I'm Proud to Be a PKI Child". The
publication of this book makes Ribka considered part of the PKI. This is openly stated by Taufik
Nuriman, Regent of Serang with the background of Kopassus:
"…..Tjiptaning chairman of the DPD PDIP Banten is a communist, he (Tjiptaning) said I am
proud of PKI children, in the Book also exist, we are anti communist,"(detakbanten.com, 2014)
Although in the Rano Karno winning team in Banten, Ribka then replaced Tubagus
Hasanudin, the issue of PKI is difficult to appease. One day before the elections, the narrative of
Communism joined the Christianization narratives hit Rano Karno and spread through social media,
especially through facebook and whatsapp group.
Finally, Rano Karno's defeat with the issue of communism explains the severity of the Banten
community's understanding of Banten's local political history. The doctrine of the new order through
various means for 32 years has made communism and the PKI a terrible ghost, including in Banten.
Whereas Banten was the best example of how communism and Islam coexisted into a doctrine against
the Dutch colonial government in the 1926 uprising. The political elites of this 1926 rebellion alumni
also led Banten and fought each other during the revolutionary period of independence.

Conclusion
Communism and the PKI became the ghosts understood by Indonesia society as anti-God,
cruel and inhuman teachings and groups and those concerned must be punished. The ghost of
communism was also raised in Pikada Banten and made the incumbent accused of being linked to the
PKI finally lost.
This is paradoxical, because the real history of local politics in Banten can not be separated
from the history of the PKI. PKI was born and developed in Banten in 1925-1926 precisely in the
hands of the Ulama. The main initiator of the development of PKI in Banten was Ahmad Bassaif, an
Arab descendant and the main character was Achmad Chatib who in 1945 became the Resident of
Banten. The PKI rebellion in Banten was also mobilized by Kyai, santri and the community. The
spirit of resistance to the colonial was built by the spirit of jihad, although it used the PKI pack.
Even when in 1945, the fight that occurred between Chatib and Tje Mamat was a fight
between old friends who are both involved in the PKI uprising in 1926.
But the narrative of the political elites in the independence period in Banten with the PKI,
seems not to be inherited to the people of Banten. If the Banten people in the revolutionary era could
accept the perpetrators of the 1926 PKI rebellion with open arms, then it is not the case with the PKI
label pasca 1965. The new order's attempt to make the PKI a ghastly and anti-religious demon was too
successful. This makes allegations of linkage with the PKI a devastating label as experienced by Rano
Karno in 2017 Governor Election. What a paradox.

Introduction
Regional autonomy and the presence of elites at the local level are expected to
improve democratization and address the needs of local communities. Eric Hiarej (2017)
states that the political tendency of clientelism in Indonesia is declining and marked by
the emergence of "populist" governance. Based on the KBBI (Indonesian Dictionary),
"Populis" is a political philosophy or understanding that acknowledges, give priority to
the public interest. Populism is understood as a "political style" rather than an ideology
(Eric Hiarej, 2016).115 To be a populist elite, a political actor must have an inclusive
political capacity, that is, political style by placing oneself in other
people's/group/society's way of looking at a problem in society. With this inclusive
political capacity, a populist elite can build its image in the eyes of society and charisma
and build its popularity.
"Populis" emerged and addressed to political elites who were considered to uphold the
right, the wisdom of society; prioritize the needs of the community, and no distance to the
community. Populist elites have always considered the importance of media coverage as
to convey information to the community, open dialogue with the community and also to
build their charisma in the eyes of society. The media used by populist elites can be
coverage of activities to "political" actions of the elite in newspapers, television media to
social media such as Instagram. It is also happening before the election of North Sumatra
Governor 2018. The three candidates will use IG to gain popularity from Instagram users
who are noted most of the millennial generation. The term millennial generation was
coined by American writers William Straus and Neil Howe in several of their books. 116
Millennials are also called Y-generation or echo boomers. The classification of the
millennials are those born in 1980-1990, or in early 2000 onwards (currently 17-38 years
old). Technology products follow the millennial generation style. Technology makes
millennials rely on social media as a place to get the latest information. Social media has
become the main reporting platform and news source for the millennial community. In
addition, there is their behavior to research and purchase variety of products and services
via the internet. The Nielsen Global Survey of E-Commerce noted that the growth of
mobile device penetration in big cities in Indonesia reaches 88%. The millennial
generation averages attention to various devices (English: gadgets), such as PCs (personal
computers), smartphones, tablets and televisions 27 times per hour. So thus the
researchers referred to the millennial generation in this study are those who are 17 years
old or often called novice voters.
The three pairs of candidates for governor and vice governor of North Sumatra
for the period 2018-2023 are as follows:
1. Djarot Saiful Hidayat-Sihar Sitorus under the name of IG @ djarotsaifulhidayat
account, @ djarotsihar4sumut. The pair of candidates for governor is supported
by PDI Perjuangan (Indonesia Democratic Party Struggling).

2. Jopinus Ramli Saragih (JR Saragih) -Ance Selian under the name of IG @ jrsaragih account, @ jrsaragih_ance. The candidate pair is supported by the
Democratic Party.
3. Edy Rahmayadi-Musa Rajekshah under the name of IG @ edy_rahmayadi
account. The candidate pair is supported by Gerindra (Indonesia Raya
Movements Party) and PKS (Prosperity-Justice Party).
Two of the candidates have used IG well before registering officially at the KPU
office. JR Saragih's wish to become a governor of Simalungun to run for governor of
North Sumatra began to be seen in his photographic upload with several TNI members
who participated in the program "TNI Manunggal Build Village: Real Estate Bakti Build
Area," on October 8, 2016. In the photo inserted slogan blue "SUMUT SUMUT" which
is the hallmark of every post JR Saragih. Meanwhile, his rival Edy Rahmayadi started
using IG on August 15, 2017, with his first uploaded photo with members of the Army
Strategic Command (Kostrad) and attached hashtag "#SumutBemartabat" which is one of
the slogans that characterizes Edy in each of his uploads. At that time Edy was still listed
as Commander of the Army Strategic Command (Pangkostrad). Will the last candidate,
Djarot began to declare himself as going to Cagub SUMUT on January 4, 2018, with
uploads on the IGnya which is the capture of detikNews with the title "Sah! Djarot
carried PDIP So Become Cagub Sumut. "This is then followed by the emergence of the
latest IG on behalf of Djarot and Sihar on January 13, 2018.
Based on the aforementioned matters, this paper aims to examine how
prospective candidates use IG to build their popularity, information and what activities
they display to attract public sympathy. The results of this study are expected to answer
the extent to which the relevance of the popularity gained with leadership and
accountability aspects to the public will be.
Promise "Populis" Build Prosperity
Three pairs of candidates for governor and deputy governor candidate of North
Sumatra each claimed themselves as the son of the region, while Djarot declared himself
once completed studies in the city of Medan. To win the hearts of the voters, candidates
try to build a public image as a leader who can communicate directly with the community
through an Instagram account. The author takes some important points from "How to
become a leader" according to Amalinda (2016),117 which is in accordance with the
author's observation through the statements and activities displayed by prospective
candidates on the IG i.e;

Popular in the media
Leadership capacity
The economic capital was not always the most important strategy to win the
election of the regional head. Social capital is also needed by prospective candidates to
increase their support. Such social capital, for example, has knowledge of the sociocultural and economic conditions of local communities, good relationships with clans,
ethnic, religious or community leaders, to a firm, disciplined, humane leadership capacity
in the eyes of the community. With such social capital, the candidates can improve the
positive image of prospective candidates and public support for prospective candidates.
Each of them uses a populist approach starting from proximity to the younger
generation and concern for education; support for the welfare of the disabled and orphans;
prosperity of traders and farmers; closeness with customary leaders, religious leaders to
community organizations; proximity to the soldiers; to support for athletes and football in
North Sumatra. Here the author discusses issues raised or prospective candidate activities
in outline, the author divides it into six points.
1. Proximity to the Young Generation as a Form of Concern for Education
The three candidates for governor show their concern for children's education
through several of their uploads while together and dialogue with school children to
students, supported by a sweet smile on the faces of the children. The upload is
accompanied by a statement about the prospective awareness of education. One example
is the statement of JR Saragih in his IG upload that states that the young generation is the
nation's successor generation, the spirit of the children in reaching the ideals must be
supported.
Beginner voters are one of the targets for prospective candidates to win votes in
the regional head elections. One of the efforts undertaken to withdraw their voice support
is through concern for the education of the young generation, from elementary to
university level. Candidates look very sensitive to reading the situation, can be seen from
the use of IG as a means to show their concern for the education of the younger
generation.
2. Support for the Welfare of the Disabled and Orphans
The state's responsibility for orphans as well as the disabilities has been clearly
defined in the 1945 Constitution, and local governments are at the forefront of the
government of a country also has a responsibility to provide service to them. There are
prospective candidates who use the problem as a means to support their popularity by
visiting orphanages and donating orphans in the form of staple food to school funding.

North Sumatra is an agrarian area with crop yields that may be said to have a
distinct and distinctive character from one area to another. The management of
agricultural land to the distribution of agricultural products to the community is a worthy
issue raised ahead of the election of the governor. Three prospective candidates in IGs
display their proximity to traders and farmers, with visits to traditional markets or visits to
farmers' fields.
Traditional markets must be addressed to create a well-organized, clean, and
convenient market environment for visitors. The market is expected to be neatly arranged
in the sense of having certain groupings by separating the vegetables/fruit stall selling
with fish/meat selling stall and so on. Traditional market conditions that are not well
organized, muddy, smelly, and prone to criminal offenses are often the cause of the
traditional market less interest by the community. People prefer their daily and daily
grocery shopping in a more organized, clean, and comfortable supermarket. This, of
course, affects the income of traditional traders because the market is lacking buyers.
The traditional market is a job for the middle to lower society, where people can
sell at affordable kiosk prices. Traditional market visitors are mostly from middle to
lower society, where they can bargain with the farmers to get their food items or daily
needs in accordance with economic capabilities. The awareness of prospective candidates
towards traditional markets directly brings hope to traders in particular and society at
large.
Approaches by prospective candidates to farmers are demonstrated by uploading
photos of togetherness with farmers with the statement they convey to the IG. Candidates
would like to express their determination to improve the living standards of farmers, such
as Edy's photo uploads with a message to help farmers by encouraging the effectiveness
of implementation, counseling and mentoring by local governments to farmers. Target
candidates are farmers of food crops such as rice. Based on notes on photo uploads,
prospective candidates assume that if rice farmers find it difficult to improve their
welfare, it will encourage them to look for alternative crops. It certainly has an impact on
the availability of staple food in the region that resulted in a region must bring rice from
other regions or even countries to meet food needs.
The other candidate's approach to farmers is to visit the victims of the Sinabung
eruption as done by Djarot Syaiful. The majority of eruption victims of Mount Sinabung
have an agrarian lifestyle by relying on agricultural land. As a result of the disaster, they
are forced to leave their hometown and leave their fertile farmland. They are relocated to
a new area, Solar and they have to start from scratch for planting. Djarot's visit to the
victims of the eruption Sinabung shows his concern for the peasants who are struggling to
recover their post-disaster economic situation.
4. Proximity to Customary Leaders, Religious Leaders to Community
Organizations
To gain power, political elites can form relationships with social elites who have
large social capital, namely the closeness of the social elite to society. The social elite
itself is one whose intellectual resources, religiosity, and knowledge of certain
customs/habits of society can attract the attention and obedience of the community/group.

The social elite can be religious leaders, traditional leaders, local scholars, to leaders of
community organizations.
The relation or relationship between the political elite and the social elite can be
the client's patron relationship. The political elite when successfully occupy the position
as the regional head is expected to meet the needs, and provide a sense of security to the
social elite. While the social elite is expected to provide support and loyalty to the
political elite at the election of regional heads to support any policy of the regional head
when elected later.
Approaches that would be candidates to religious leaders such as visits to houses
of worship as well as donate for the construction or renovation of houses of worship, to
follow religious events. Religious figures directly or indirectly influence voter behavior.
As religious leaders, they also demanded a moral attitude to be friendly and open to
anyone, including political actors. Approaches by candidates to religious leaders can also
show the public that they are nationalist leaders who do not divide human beings based
on their religious identity.
The approach of candidate candidates to customary leaders such as silaturahmi on
the descendants of certain ethnic kings (eg Malay), attending the traditional events either
marriage, food, or other customary events, to clan giving for candidates who are not from
the Batak tribe (eg Edy Rahmayadi who was given the Ginting clan by Karo Batak tribe).
In addition, candidates also approached community organizations in the form of visits to
certain community organizations to get voice support.
5. Welfare Guarantees for the Soldiers' Family
In the election of Governor of North Sumatra 2018, there are two candidates who
are former military, namely JR Saragih and Edy Rahmayadi. JR Saragih before becoming
Regent of Simalung, his last career in the military was as Subwander Commander of
Army Military Police (POMAD) Purwakarta, West Java. While the last career of Edy
Rahmayadi in the military is as Commander of the Army Strategic Reserve Command
(PANGKOSTRAD). Both are retiring early from military units for their desire to become
regional leaders. Edy Rahmayadi and JR Saragih may be regarded as the military elite
considering the positions they once held in the military supported their influence to the
soldiers of their subordinates and the families of the soldiers. In contrast to Djarot who is
not from the military and uploads on his IG also only once displays a picture of himself
with the military leader (last observation March 3, 2018).
The proximity and concern for the soldiers began to be demonstrated by Edy
Rahmayadi on his uploads with the Kostrad soldiers whom he called "friends" on August
15, 2017. At that time Edy Rahmayadi was still serving as the Kostrad Commander
despite the indication that he was willing to run for The election of Governor (Pilgub) of
North Sumatra 2018. It can be seen from the hashtag on the post, namely #sumberbern
dignity, #summer unity. Edy on one occasion once said to the media, "Pray for me to be
governor, not to be KSAD." (Read: Army Chief of Staff).118 The statement he conveyed
because previously the desire to resign as the Commander was not sanctioned by his

leadership. The decision of TNI Commander / 982 / XII / 2017 dated December 4 and the
decision is valid since it is established, indicating that Edy Rahmayadi is still designated
as a Kostrad Commander and there are no details of when the position will change. The
decision was issued by TNI Marshal Hadi Tjahjanto as the new TNI Commander. The
decision is considered Edy does not mean allowing him to remove military posts and
prevent him from becoming a Cagub Sumut 2018.119 Because of determination and
lobbying, finally, the decision to resign from the military was condoned in January 2018.
Edy Rahmayadi while still serving as Pangkostrad also once issued a political
statement that he uploaded through his IG account, the upload was the capture of Harian
Waspada August 4, 2017, namely "Pangkostrad: No Place For Communist Forward So
Cagubsu." The statement indicates that Edy as Kostrad at that time had the power to
obstruct the communist ideology and those who followed it in order to advance in the
gubernatorial elections. Edy also uploaded a video about the preparation of the soldiers of
the Army and Police (POLRI) in the escort of King Salman, from Saudi Arabia (August
19, 2017), and the other side of the courteous and generous soldier by uploading
photographs of some soldiers who were giving compensation in the form food for the
homeless. There were Edy's many accomplices with his soldiers or his own uploads in his
military uniform while recounting his military career before registering to become a
candidate for governor. His last upcoming rendezvous with the military soldiers was the
Handover of Kostrad (16 January 2018) and Edy's farewell to the entire Malang United
(18 January 2018) family.
While JR Saragih, as we discussed in the introduction to this article, shows its
proximity to members of the TNI through a photo with members of the TNI who
participated in the program "TNI Manunggal Village Building: a real form of devoting
regional building," on October 8, 2016, a year earlier than it was done by Edy. There are
uploads on IG JR Saragih showing a program of Marhaon (gotong royong) rice planting
activities involving 5,000 peasants and TNI (December 16, 2016). There is also an
activity "Planting Trees for the Future" showing JR Saragih planting trees assisted by TNI
soldiers and witnessed by high school uniformed students (December 18, 2016), to JR
Saragih's concern for TNI members who died while performing their duties. All of these
posts have included the slogan "SUMUT NEW SPIRIT."
There are many JR Saragih uploads with TNI showing their proximity and TNI
involvement in social programs between Simalungun District and TNI members to
remote village development. It shows JR Saragih's confidence in TNI to be included in
the development program in Simalungun Regency and it is possible to involve the
soldiers in North Sumatra development later on. JR Saragih also mentioned the role of the
TNI is needed in protecting the community, it does seem to deviate from the basic task of
the TNI as stipulated in the 1945 Constitution because the duty to protect is charged to
the POLRI.
These uploads in addition to introducing themselves to be better known to the
public can also be a social capital to attract hearts and win the hearts of the soldiers'
families. The efforts of candidates who try to show that their lessons and experiences in
119

the military world have "honed" them into disciplined, assertive, and responsive people to
the problems of society that are the leader's ideal. His proximity to the soldiers expressed
his concern for the soldier's family. Their lessons and experiences in the military have
"taken" them into a person who has a sense of unity, kinship, loyal friends, a strong sense
of help.
The State of Indonesia does not allow members of the TNI / POLRI to run and
vote in the general election. However, the families of soldiers (millennial wives and
children) are social capital that can be a source of support for former military elites for
support. For example in Kostrad consists of 35,000 to 40,000 soldiers. If the soldier's
family supports their former military leader, then the votes that can be obtained from the
wives and children of military soldiers can help in contesting the governor's election. The
support depends on how much the former military leaders care about the needs and
welfare of the soldiers. The simple logic is that the kindness and wisdom of a military
leader will be remembered by their soldiers, wives and millennial children.
Edy had a long time in North Sumatra at Kodam Bukit Barisan in 1998-2001
which is a long journey and certainly imprint on the hearts of soldiers and family soldiers
in North Sumatra. While JR Saragih who spent much of his military career on the island
of Java. But his claim as a regional son and his development program that always
involves the TNI can be a social capital to get support from the soldier's family. From
this, we can see that their identity as former soldiers can be used as their social capital to
be seen as a firm, disciplined, quick-response leader by the warrior, as well as supporting
the welfare of soldiers' families.
6. Support for PSMS
The three candidates who compete in the North Sumatra Governor Election, Edy
is a candidate who gives great attention to PSMS (Football Association of Medan and
Surrounding). Edy Rahmayadi when assuming the position as Pangkostrad also at the
same time become Chairman of PSSI (Football Association of Indonesia) period 20162020. Attention to North Sumatra football is seen from Eddy's many photo uploads with
PSMS Medan team or a photo of herself who provides support for the rise of football in
North Sumatra as well as his concern for the welfare of the soccer athletes. One of Edy's
comments on football in North Sumatra is to build a new stadium for international
standard PSMS. Edy assumes that the Exemplary Stadium which is a training ground and
the football game is not feasible to host any national event any more international.
The things that have been mentioned above will certainly bring fresh air for the
football of North Sumatra. Issues concerning the PSMS management reshuffle to the
issue of player salary payments resulting in disunity, often coloring the team nicknamed
'Kinantan Chicken' is. Whether elected governor or not, Edy who was born in North
Sumatra and occupied the position as Chairman of PSSI also certainly have an obligation
to improve the quality of football in North Sumatra. Edy's concern and concern for soccer
and athletes can be access to attract sympathy and increase popularity in the eyes of
people who miss their local football fluttering at the national level and later in the
international arena.
Based on the researchers' observations, from 712 uploads on IG Edy, there are 62
football and national football field uploads. On August 15, 2017, there were 19 uploads

on IG that were about football. Uploads in the form of photographs containing notes on
Edy's hope for Indonesia to reach SEA Games 2017; Edy's statement that his concern for
football was caused by two things: first the football was his hobby, and secondly because
Edy wanted the Nation of Indonesian to be reckoned by other countries especially
through football; also a photo of Edy's statement that he will prove that the Governor of
North Sumatra will also be a pioneer of national football progress. Another Edy Upload is
a capture of some information from the online media about Edy's statement as Chairman
of PSSI, Edy's photo with some football coaches and national football athletes up to
PSMS, and Edy's video coverage being interviewed by media such as Kompas related to
his military career and his concern against soccer. The following researchers divided the
issues raised by Edy about football:
Regarding football, PSSI, U-22 national team, U-18 national team, U-19 national
team, and trainers: as many as 36 uploads.
About PSMS, Medan Stadium, new athletes: 26 uploads.
IG Efforts to Gain Millennium Voters Instagram is one of the most popular social
media and owned by most Indonesian people, especially those who are classified as
active users on Instagram and they are referred to as a millennial generation. All that has
been alluded to at the beginning of this paper, that the millennial generation that the
researchers mean here is that they are 17 years old.
Beginner voters (17 years old) who will later vote for the first time in 2018 and
national regional succession in 2019. One of the main characteristics of the millennial
generation is the active users of social media. According to an annual report published by
HootSuite, "Social Media Trends 2018," the millennial generation as an active social
media user can spend more than 4 hours a day to surf the social media.
As in many countries, in Indonesia, the millennials draw attention from different
sectors such as business, education, social, culture and politics. In the context of politics,
for example, special attention and programs are always directed to gain sympathy and
culminate in the hope of winning votes from millennials. Implementation of the election
of regional heads in North Sumatra Province, millennials generation became an important
segmentation which then competed to be worked on by the successful team of candidate
pair of the governor and deputy governor of North Sumatra (Sumut) as mentioned above.
According to data released by the Election Commission (KPU) of the Republic of
Indonesia, the Permanent Voter List (DPT) of 2018 Governor and Vice Governor
Elections amounted to 10,200,629 voters. Of these, 35% are voters of millennials or
3,628,273. The amount is a lucrative enough lift to be able to win elections contestation.
Candidates for candidates for governor and vice governor are aware of the potential of
such large voters so that all candidates target social media Instagram as one of their
campaign media.
Judging from what has been done by the prospective candidates on their
respective IG accounts, there are several issues that will be interesting candidates and
potentially to achieve sympathy and support among millennials. The issues are:
166
Proceeding

Sam Ratulangi University, 11-13 April 2018

Achievement
ISBN : 978-602-6309-44-2
awareness of education; abandoned children and disabilities; and the advancement of
Indonesian soccer especially to the Football Association of Medan and Surroundings
(PSMS).
Issues about the world of education always invite attention from the millennial.
Generally, they are a group that will then feel a direct impact on educational programs.
Therefore, the candidate pair of governors and deputy governors who can then win the
educational program and then communicate it well through IG will have the potential to
win the preferred preference of this generation.
However, throughout the researcher's observations, the packaging of educational issues
presented in the IG accounts of prospective candidates is merely a ceremonial activity of
a mere visit which then gives less meaning to the differentiation of concern and vision
and detail programs that will be carried out when later they are trusted by the community
to lead.
Likewise for humanism or humanity issues. Millennials in the midst of their
'individualistic' spend most of their time with the devices in their hands, but at least they
still have a side of concern that they channel in different ways. By taking a picture or
video then narrating it, then immediately they post and share in their social media
accounts. Quickly the pictures or videos will reap the response or reaction from the
citizen. Pictures and videos they used to share such as people who are in distress due to
certain conditions, grandparents or disabilities and need help in their lonely merchandise
or business. This side of concern is then played by millennials. Therefore, it becomes a
fascination for millennials when the approach of humanism designed campaigns has the
intensity and content that can be of concern to this generation.
Another issue which then becomes important can even defeat the previous two
issues are topics related to advancing Indonesian football in general, in particular, is the
favorite club and pride of the people of Medan and also the people of North Sumatra, the
PSMS candidate governor Edy has so far seen the most concern for advancing football in
Sumatra. One of them is to provide full support for PSMS and rebuild or renovate the
Exemplary Stadium. With the background as Chairman of PSSI, Edy has plenty of room
on IG to expose and dominate the topic of the ball, so as it is attached and identical to
itself when talking about football in North Sumatra. Meanwhile, other potential
candidates have not been able or may not have paid special attention to this field to
compete in getting the attention and support from the millennial generation.
Opportunities are still very wide for each candidate to be able to win votes on a
millennial mass basis. If the candidate for governor and deputy governor is seriously
concerned to present the issues which are then nicely packed through lines such as IG.
This is because IG and other social media is the main channel millennial generation to
find, obtain, and consume news or any information they need. During the observation
period in this study, it was generally considered that the concerns of each candidate for
the sympathy and voice support of the millennials existed, by creating and managing
mass-line accounts such as IG. But the optimization of the packaging of issues and
information presented on the pages of the mass lines still need to be processed more
seriously so as not to impress just exist or exist in social media.

Abstrak
Tourism is defined as part of government affairs related to public services in which
concerning cross-regional externalities, therefore, its implementation are based on
efficiencies that can be managed collaboratively. However, the rapid-demanding needs of
tourism, force each region to partially fulfill their needs with short-term political
orientation. This research would like to investigate the identification of the tourism
potentials in the form of collaborative partnership between Malang and Batu
governments and finding out the model of strategic tourism partnership between Malang
and Batu governments. The qualitative methods with descriptive research type are
applied on this research. The primary data collection technique was conducted by
observation, structured-interview with related government institutions, experts and also
related stakeholders. While, the secondary data collection was done by documentation
and bibliography techniques. Research subject was determined by using purposive
sampling technique.
Tourism potentials in Malang and Batu Cities offer their own strategic attraction in East
Java that is complementary to each other. This study finds out the tourism potentials are
still not yet developed in the official scheme of partnership by the Malang and Batu local
governments. This study offers the appropriate model of cooperation for the existing
condition of each local government is a specific cooperation on tourism affairs with the
form of Cooperative Construction in the form of procurement of physical buildings of the
highway as a liaison between tourist destinations in both regions. Thus the persistent
problem of traffic congestion resulting from the rapid development of tourism can be
addressed together effectively and efficiently. In addition, Joint Services cooperation
model can be done by both parties by establishing a one-stop service as a tourist
information center of both cities.

INTRODUCTION
Tourism is part of government affairs which has been imposed by the Act No
23 Year 2014 regarding Local Governments. In fact, there are many local governments
put serious concern toward tourism as the main strategic income sector for accelerating
local development. More Importantly, tourism is also considered as strategic affair that it
also has been stipulated under the Act No 10 year 2009 regarding Tourism in the national
level. The main spirit of this policy is that integrating tourism development into
consolidated management aspect.
Indeed, tourism industry requires the involvement of many related stakeholders
in national and local levels (Spillone 1994, p. 4)120. Therefore, in the context of local
autonomy, tourism opens up the opportunity for the local governments to be in tied for
establishing partnership among the cities and regencies that have direct administrative
and geographic borders.
In this study, tourism is defined as part of government affairs that it is related
to public services and across regional externalities. Hence, the tourism affair could be
implemented collectively. In addition, tourism sector is also determined as exploring local
potencies. This means that the participation of many stakeholders is required within the
concept of partnership among local government, societies and private sectors.
As a matter of facts, during the process of tourism management, the problem of
shortage resources are often to be main obstacle for local governments. As a
consequence, the governments rely merely on private sectors. Hence the tourism
developments are being executed in political interests and short-term purposes. In
addition, the public interests are often left behind.
The important is that the local regulation of tourism policy should be the legal
reference for developing effective and sustainable development in which providing
benefits to the people. Then tourism management has to be synchronized with The
National Strategic Roadmap as its has been stipulated at the Government Regulation No
50 year 2011 regarding Master Plan for National Tourism Development 2010-2025.
However, according to the facts, on one hand the local governments should
manage the tourism management in effective, efficient and public need orientation
strategies. On the other hand, the integrated tourism management has to deal with many
ego-sectoral interests among local governments, societies, exploitation affairs on natural
resources, geographical claims on tourism sites belonging, social and economic interest

among the regions, these situations hamper the possibility of local partnerships in which
ignoring the urgency of inter connected roles toward tourism sectors.
The reason is that tourism sector is not merely seen as possesing and building
tourism sites, but these have to be synergy with the provision of supporting systems, such
as the availability of transportation channels that could accommodate the number of
vehicles during peak session; the availability of communication and information
installation; also the readiness of human resources as the actors of tourism management.
Thus the strength of regional competitiveness can be created through synergistic. The
tourism sector is an industry that has a high economic opportunity, since this becomes the
important need in modern lifestyle.
Malang City and Batu Cities are tourist destinations that have various kinds of
strategic tourism. In addition, they have their own particular attractiveness in East Java
that are complementary to each other. Batu City offers spectacular-artificial and agrotourism sites, while the City of Malang offers thematic, shopping and culinary sites. The
interesting thing is that, due to the geographical proximity between the two regions within
a crossing of the land transportation routes, therefore the tourism sites in Malang and
Batu have always been regarded as a package tour intact. It is naturally has been
identified and developed by each local government. Interestingly, although the tourism
sectors are not yet being developed in the official scheme of cooperation between the
local governments, this tourism potency in both regions are able to give positive sides to
the regional economic development.
However, the economic potentials of tourism have not yet been managed in an
integrated manner between the two local governments. Therefore the emergence of some
negative impacts also cannot be addressed comprehensively, for instance the spatial
aspect problems during the holiday season result traffic congestion due to the high
number of tourists in towns. As a result, The both regions are afflicted by the congestion
impact caused by the over capacity of the vehicles along the highway transportation route
which connect Malang and Batu tourism sites. If the problem is not immediately
overcome, it will have an impact on weakening tourism potentials that have been
developed. Although the two regions are aggressively developing tourist destinations in
their respective regions, if the means of accessibility as the main supporting system of the
tourism sector become obstacles, it will make significant impact on the decline of
domestic and international tourist interest.
Therefore, the urgency of inter-regional cooperation in developing potential
tourism and integrated management in the area of Malang and Batu Cites become
important to be developed in the scheme of Intergovernmental Networking Strategy. This
will accelerate the pace of meeting the publics and tourism needs in order to support
tourism sectors to be more effective and efficient in terms of financing and providing by
the respective regional governments.
Although the benefits of establishing partnership between regions give
promising outcomes of effectiveness and efficiency, in fact the regional cooperation
always culminates in pessimistic ends if this comes to the practice such as regional ego

and conflicts due to the facts of social and economic imbalance. Moreover, there is no
successful inter-regional cooperation scheme that can be used as a model for other
regions. The scheme of regional integration of the GerbangKertosusilo (GresikBangkalan-Mojokerto-Surabaya-Sidoarjo-Lamongan) in East Java Province as it has been
stipulated by The East Java Provincial Regulation No.4 / 1996 on the Spatial and
Regional Plannings (Rencana Tata Ruang dan Tata Wilayah-RTRW) of East Java
Province is merely being implemented as the physically RTRW regional development,
and this has not shown the real benefit aspects of a regional cooperation scheme.
Responding to the benefits of regional cooperation for synergizing tourism
development sectors, the National Government has provided legal umbrella in the form of
Government Regulation No. 50 of 2011 on the National Tourism Development Master
Plan (Rencana Induk Pembangunan Kepariwisataan Nasional-RIPPARNAS) in 2010 2025. In this provision, Malang Raya is included in the main planning Tourism Areas
(KWU). In addition, the Law No. 23 of 2014 regarding Regional
Governments give the district and municipal governments wider authorities in managing
tourism potency, as it compared to the provincial government’s authority that is limited
only in the realm of tourism promotion. Therefore, the development of a more integrated
tourism area along with mutual support is needed for making sure the cooperation run
well, effectively, and efficiently, in accordance with the targets and objectives that are
determined.
This research is aimed to investigate the identification of the tourism potentials
in the form of collaborative partnership between Malang and Batu governments and
finding out the model of strategic tourism partnership between Malang and Batu
governments. This research has found out that each government has the idea of managing
tourism in an integrating strategy. This could be proven that the Malang government had
conducted the feasibility study on tourism government partnership. Although the study
has not yet led to the partnership arrangements, The idea of collaborative actions have
being promoted. The research impact is that exploring the possible model of government
partnership on tourism filed.
1. Literature Review and Research Focus
2.1 Tourism Management As Local Government Affairs
The study of the tourism sector nowadays is not only interpreted as a
recreational activity unsich that is merely associated with the spatial tourist destinations.
Hence, this affair is also defined as part and public service that becomes obligation of
government. Although in the provisions of Indonesian Acts, tourism is solely as a nonobligation of government affair. However, majority of the local governments in Indonesia
managing tourism sectors as one of local revenue source. According to Georgudaki et al.
states that both developed and developing countries earn most of their income from the
tourism sector (2016, p. 143).
In addition, tourism management is also studied more holistically, not only as a
leisure activity but also as part of social, economic and environmental conservation
activities. If tourism is only seen as economic driven and fully handed over to the private

sectors, then there will be economic exploitation and ignoring the balance of other
sectors. According to the Ecotourism Society (1990) also mentions that tourism activities
are actions in order to enjoy the beauty of nature, as well as environmental conservation
activities that bring benefits to preserve the welfare of the local population (Fandeli,
2001). Therefore, the role of government to promote tourism affairs is important. Tourism
terminology then developed into sustainable tourism and ecotourism on the scale of
international studies. As Castellani and Sala mention that an International Resolution
recognizes sustainable tourism and ecotourism are part of strengthening local
development as well as protecting the natural environment, traditions and cultural
heritage (2010, p. 871). Thus, the tourism sectors in both natural and artificial provide
benefits for future generations, so that these sectors bring benefits in the economic,
natural protection activities and cultural, so that cultural values can still be maintained.
The reason is that the cities are hosted the large number of visitors who come from
various other areas that give influence in changing local values and culture as a result
from interactions between locals and tourists
Therefore, in tourism activities also known as Host-Guest Relations, which
both parties conduct various transactions as Kintt was found in Saarinen and Manwa that
local residents and tourists do joint activities in terms of transactions, services and while
inhabiting the place by sharing experiences and ideas (2008, p. 45).
Due to the tourism sites and all the cultural values also as part of livelihoods
for the local people, moreover, the presence of tourists leads the interaction between local
people and tourists, hence it is important to be considered by the government for setting a
comprehensive part of the tourism regulation and management.
2.2 Tourism Development and Planning
Tourism is closely linked to aspects of planning and development towards a
sustainable and well-planned process. Hence the main regulation of tourism development
must be in line with the government's development plan, so that inter-sectoral and interregional aspects can be accommodated well.
Tourism development is based on existing conditions along with existing
carrying capacity, while tourism planning is based on national development plans whose
accomplishment are divided into several stages. In addition, internal and external
conditions also affect the development of tourism. As stated by Dwyer 2009 that there are
six global influences that affect the development of tourism, namely, political, economic,
social, technological, demographic and environmental aspects (Tourism Management
Vol. 30 p. 63-74). Therefore, these aspects are an integral part of the domain of
government policy.
In addition, holistic tourism development also pays attention to several other aspects in its
management as shown in the following figure:

As it as been shown by the Figure 2.1, tourism development must also be managed by
considering several aspects of tourism targetedness, management risk, climate change,
sustainable tourism development and education of tourism management. This model of
tourism management, then internal and external factors are also part of the planning and
development process for sustainability.

According to the framework as it is shown by Figure 2.2, It appears that the
main stakeholders of tourism managers are representations of the iron of governance
which consists of government, society and private sectors. The regulation framework of
tourism sector is developed in a comprehensive and balanced manner. There is a nonspatial development scheme which consist of environmental conservation, cultural and
historical values reinforcement, local wisdom preservation, creation of creative economy
and human resource development, and there is also The spatial tourism development
scheme which consists of tourist destinations, tourist attraction activities,

accommodation, transportation, souvenirs and Meeting Events, Incentive, Convention,
and Exhibition (MICE).
Therefore, the competitive advantages sides of the tourism sectors can be well
developed and planned. The reason is that tourism not only has the economic values of
the income sectors for local governments, but also as the income sectors for producing
foreign exchange, especially for areas that do not have the natural resources as the
economic driving force (Yoeti, 1997).
2.3 Legal Basis for Tourism Sector
The legal basis of tourism affairs is regulated in the Act Number 10 of 2009
regarding Tourism, while the technical provisions of its implementation are regulated in
Government Regulation No. 50 of 2011 on the National Tourism Development Master
Plan (RIPPARNAS) 2010-2025. There are several important aspects of RIPPARNAS (1)
The guidelines for development direction of tourism potential in terms of products,
markets, spatial, human resources, management, etc. Thus, Indonesian tourism can grow
and develop positively and sustainably for the development of region and community
welfare, (2) The regulator for stakeholders, both across sectors, across actors, and across
regions/regions in order to encourage the development of tourism in a synergistic and
integrated manner.
The vision of national tourism development as stipulated in the Government
Regulation Number 50 Year 2011 is that realizing Indonesia as a world-class tourism
destination, in which competitive, sustainable and able to encourage regional
developments and people's welfare. In order to realize the vision, there are four tourism
development strategies that have been defined namely; safety, convenience, attractiveness
and tourism destinations accessibility; synergy, superiority, responsibility. In addition,
there are effective governments, local governments, private sectors and community
organizations in encouraging the realization of sustainable tourism development.
In the context of decentralization and regional autonomy implementation,
tourism affairs are regulated in the Act number 23 of 2014 regarding Regional
Governments which was last amended by Government Regulation in Lieu of the Republic
of Indonesia Law Number 02 Year 2014 on the Amendment of Act number 23 of 2014
regarding Regional Governments. According to the mentioned legal provision, the spatial
and authority of tourism management are placed at the level of districts and city
governments. Whereas, the authority of the provincial governments is limited to tourism
promotion.
The legal basis of tourism management of Malang City Government is regulated in the
Vision and Mission of Malang City Government which prioritizes Malang with dignity,
clean, prosperous, fair, religious-tolerant, leading, safe, cultured, beautiful and educated.
In addition, in the Regional Medium Term Development Plan (RPJMD 2013-2018), the
tourism sector is developed in a safe, comfortable and cultured tourism development
paradigm into three indicators as follows:

1. The realization of tourism development based on culture, environment and
creativity of society
2. Improving the preservation of cultural arts and local wisdom in order to enhance
the attractiveness of tourism
3. Increasing the variety and quality of natural and artificial tourism
The Regional Tourism Development Master Plan (RIPPARDA) Malang City
Government has been regulated in the Regional Regulation No. 34 of 2014 which set the
target of tourism development on several indicators as follows:
a.
b.
c.
d.
e.
f.
g.
Increasing awareness of the local religious cultural values;
Increasing number of foreign tourists visiting;
Increasing the number of tourist movements of the archipelago;
Increasing the amount of local foreign exchange earnings;
Increasing expenditure from domestic tourists;
Increasing of Gross Regional Domestic Product (GDP) of tourism sector;
Improving of environmental conservation;
Then, the Indicators of RIPPARDA are translated in details on the Vision of
Culture and Tourism of Malang City Government in order to realize the city of Malang as
a dignified tourism destination.
In the context of Batu City, The legal basis of tourism management is adjusted
with the vision of Batu City government in which emphasizing on the realization of Batu
City as a center of organic agriculture based on international tourism. In addition, the
detailed planning is stipulated in Local Regulation No. 7 of 2013 on RPJMD Batu City
Government.
Since the management of tourism objects has become the authority of each city
and district, the opportunities for cooperation between regions in the tourism sector
become very strategic, thus spatial and non spatial problem of tourism can be managed
synergistically.
2.4 Inter-Regional Cooperation
Cooperation is stated by Pamudji is the presence of two or more parties that
interact to achieve the same goal in a balanced interaction position (1985). As according
to Kusnadi, cooperation emphasizes on the existence of integrity (2002). In addition,
Iryanto argues that regional cooperation provides an effective synergy benefit to meet the
limitations of each region (2006).
While the forms of cooperation between regions is associated with the
existence of the provincial government roles as a stimulator that has the main role of
coordination between districts and city governments within one province. As it is stated
by Keban n.d that the urgency of the provincial government in initiating regional
cooperation is vital, besides the determination of the fields to be cooperated and the
selection of the right cooperation model also become a strategic matter as the foundation
of cooperation.

According to Wahyudi and Maria, the urgency of regional cooperation cannot
be avoided, because every local government runs the regional tourism development
scheme that is implemented with spatial approach based on each region's RTRW (2011).
Moreover, according to Utomo, the real condition in each region is being interdependence
on economic activities, ownership resources differences and specialization needs in order
to increase added values, condition and character of different regions. This situations lead
the importance of regional cooperation become a necessity for managing governments in
the modern era (2005)
2.5 Model of Inter-Regional Cooperation
According to Henry 1995 in Warsono mentioned that the model of regional
cooperation can be done in several schemes firstly, the form of Intergovernmental Service
Contract. This form of cooperation is that using certain service types of a local
government by paying the cooperation services that is provided by another local
government. Secondly, Joint Service Agreement in the form of cooperation by both local
government parties that carry out planning, budget and provision of certain services
together and Lasty, Intergovernmental Service Transfer is a form of cooperation in the
form of transfer of services from a local government to another local government (2015,
p. 107-108).
There are several models of cooperation as proposed by Taylor, Gary D The
First, Handshake Agreement, this agreement is done by both parties without any formal
provisions, which is conducted on the basis of closeness and trust, The Second Fee for
Service Contracts (service agreements) that is an agreement mechanism that agree on
certain affairs with mechanism of purchasing services that are provided by other parties,
The Third, Joint Agreements (joint ventures), is a form of regional cooperation that
requires participation or involvement of parties involved in the provision or management
on the matter of cooperation. Lastly, Jointly-Formed Authorities is a form of cooperation
that emphasizes the formation of joint authority, Regional Bodies is a form of territorialbased cooperation (2003).
In addition, According to Iskandar in Pramono, R. Budi describes the models
of legal framework of regional cooperation in the form of the Agreement which relates to
the cooperative principal matter, the Consent that regulates technical matters in the sphere
of cooperation, the Declaration sets the agreed general provisions for implementing
certain policies in the future and Memorandum of Understanding is a model of
cooperation in the form of master agreement.
Furthermore, according to Rosen in Warsono mentioned some models of
regional cooperation namely the form of Consortia which form of cooperation with
resources sharing in order to reduce costs if done separately; Join Purchasing is a form of
cooperation that is done by buying something together; Equipment Sharing is cooperation
which is done by using certain matters together, and its nature is not a routine use;
Cooperative Construction is cooperation in the form of physical building for the
fulfillment of public services together; Joint Services is a form of cooperation between
parties conducted in one roof or center for a business certain; Contract Services, namely

cooperation on the contract of use of public services; and other arrangements is a form of
cooperation made for the purpose of reducing costs such as training and certain facilities
(2015, p. 109)
1. Research Method
This research the method applies Qualitative Research Method. According to
Lexy J. Moleong qualitative research is a method of building a holistic-researched that
describing the terms of words in a natural context and setting (2004). This study use
descriptive research type, Hadari Nawawi states that descriptive research method is
inventing of the factual facts and discovery of the symptoms by which including attempts
to express their relation to one another in the aspects investigated (2003)
This research uses descriptive type of research because researchers want to
explore the problems that will be investigated through description, identification and
arrangement of cooperation strategies between local government (Malang City and Batu
City) in tourism affairs. There are several data collection method that were apllied in this
research namely, Observation, In-depth Interview and Documentation Techniques
(Bibliographic). Qualitative data analysis method is appplied in certain steps namely:
Conducting data collection; Data reduction; Coding process; Data processing and the
final stages drawing conclusions.

2. Results and Discussions
4.1 Potential of Tourism Cooperation of Malang and Batu Cities
The complexity of meeting the needs of public services nowadays triggers local
governments to find alternative and innovative solutions in dealing problems, including
the inevitable facts of being connected with other institutions. In order to fulfill public
service needs, the efficient strategy that is being taken currently is that the
interconnection between local governments and private sectors in the scheme of publicprivate partnership.
Unfortunately, the reality of inter-govermental networks (government to
government) has not been explored much, although in fact the urgency for solving the
problems on the collective dimension cannot be denied by local governments. This is
because, there are a lot of public services that are related to cross-regional interests.
Therefore, the decentralization and regional autonomy policies have opened up the
opportunity for realizing cooperation between regions in order to accelerate the synergy
of public service delivery.
The intergovernmental networks model that has been implemented so far is the
presence of various regional cooperation forums such as the Provincial Government
Association of Indonesia (APPSI); the Provincial Legislative Council of Indonesia
(BKKSI); the Association of Local Legislative (DPRD) Regency of Indonesia; The
Association of Local Government City of Indonesia (APEKSI); The Association of Local
Government Regency of Indonesia (APKASI). In addition, there are regional and sectorbased cooperation forums namely: Sulawesi Regional Development Cooperation Board
(BKPRS); Sumtera Cooperation Agency (VISI SUMATERA); Joint Secretariat of
Pacitan, Wonogiri and Wonosari (Sekber Pawonsari); Java Promo; Surakarta, Boyolali,
Sukoharjo, Karanganyar, Wonogiri, Sragen and Klaten (SOBOSUKO WONOSATREN);
Banjarnegara, Purbalingga, Banyumas, Cilacak and Kebumen (BARLINGMASCAKEB);
Yogyakarta City, Sleman Regency and Bantul Regency (KARTAMANTUL) (Plod S2
Ugm And Apeksi, p. 4).
Nevertheless, these previous forms of existing regional co-operation are still
concerned with the discovery of formats based on regional identity and regional
similarities. Hence, the real activities are still limited to the annual meeting forums that
discuss the work plans on a large scale. On the level of the real cooperation benefits is
still facing a lot of constrained namely funding issues, institutional supporting system and
regulatory issues. Therefore, the real function of the cooperation forum in terms of public
service delivery has not been much well implemented. The scheme of government
partnership offer benefits in which the parties can have greater strength in synergy and
more effective achievements. The regional cooperation also offers conflict resolution,
equity for joint undertakings, sustainability and reducing sectoral ego (Keban, n.d).
The possibility of regional cooperation can be formed on the basis of regional
awareness and the need for achieving a common goal. Therefore, for the context of
cooperation in the field of tourism between the government of Malang and Batu cities,
this could be stated that there is an opportunity for establishing of intergovernmental
networking in the field of tourism. The existing policy of tourism development is merely

being implemented separately by each government institution of both Malang and Batu
cities. Moreover, the policy of tourism development has not all been established in the
form of joint documents, or in the form of Regional Tourism Development Master Plan
(RIPPDA) of each region. This existing reality indicates that the framework of regional
cooperation is still partial and not synergic in each policy among local governments. So
that cooperation between regions in the field of Tourism should not be implemented
solely on RIPPDA of Malang, but it also must be listed on RIPPDA of Batu.
Furthermore, the possibility of regional cooperation between the Government of Malang
and Batu cities is undoubtedly could done, since there are several related basic
regulations about regional cooperation as follows:

Interestingly to be more specifically on tourism affairs, Malang and Batu Cities are
included in the National Tourism Destination as stipulated in Government Regulation of
the Republic of Indonesia Number 50 of 2011 regarding the Master Plan of National
Tourism Development Year 2010-2025, as shown in the following figure:

It means the regulation of national-scale tourism management has grouped Malang and
Batu Cities in one national tourism destination. Thus this is an opportunity that can be
followed up in advanced by each local government. Moreover, it has been identified that
those cities are managing tourism sectors based on the existing conditions as follows:

Altough the potentials of tourism between Malang and Batu Cities have being
developed partially, These have been able to provide income economically both for the
government and for the community. Moreover, domestic tourists in both areas state the
cities are often defined as one tour packages. Unfortunatelly, apart from the potentials
tourism potential have being developed partially, it is also followed by the problems that
are experienced by the two cities as follows:

According to the above indicators, on the one hand those could be defined as
common problems for big cities. On the other hand it is also a subject that can be solved
in the form of join cooperation. In addition, based on the field research results have found
out no legal cooperation framework yet of each local government in managing the
tourism sector.
4.2 Prospect of Inter-Regional Cooperation on Tourism Development Areas
According to the proximity of potentials and problems of the two regions, there
is a prospect of regional cooperation that can be cultivated together. In order to achieve
this, it is necessary to have a joint commitment, as a framework of cooperation between
the two parties, which is set forth in each of RIPPDA and RIPPARDA. In addition, it is
important to involve the roles of the community on the certain affairs that is jointly
managed. Moreover, the provincial government actions on supporting system and
communication between related parties on the cooperation plan areas.
The existing facts show that formal cooperation framework has not yet been
formed since each region is still with the mindset of the implementation of their
respective regional government. However, both regions have conducted regional
cooperation studies, especially in the field of tourism. If referring to the flow of regional
cooperation stages proposed by the Decentralization Support Facility (DSF) there are 5
(five) stages namely initiation, organizing preparation, establishing formation,
implementation, and monitoring and evaluation. The stages of cooperation between
regions can be seen in the following picture:

Figure 4. 2 Stages of Inter-Regional Cooperation
Source: Malang City Government, Unit of Cooperation and Investment, 2015
Referring to the stages of cooperation as Figure 4.2, the position of the two
regions has not yet reached the stage of initiation that has been communicated between
the two parties. In this case, the role of East Java Provincial Government as a stimulator
is required. Given the reality of coordinating local government is not an easy matter in the
middle of egocentric-owned each region. Therefore, it would be more effective if the
cooperation between regions will be started on the specific affair as a common priority,
this will be as the first step of joint business development between Malang and Batu
Cities.
The next stage, if the two local governments have been accustomed to the joint
cooperation in the field of tourism, the extension of the scopes of cooperation can be done
in the next stage, hence the level of inter-regional egocentric can be overcome from the
benefits that have been obtained from a cooperation in the field of tourism. It can
strengthen the condition/commitment of each region and it will involve the role of the
societies and the private sectors, as one of the real actors of real cooperation.
After that, strengthening the stages of cooperation between these two regions
through a feasibility study that are conducted by each party economically and politically.
This is required as a data base to reinforce the formal formation of regional cooperation
for each local government leadership on the basis of "mutual benefit" principles as the
foundation of basic philosophy of cooperation. these is stipulated in Government
Regulation No. 50 of 2007 that the implementation of this Inter-Regional Cooperation
should be implemented by taking into account the following principles: a) efficiency; b)
effectiveness; c) synergy; d) mutual benefit; e) mutual agreement; f) good faith; g)
prioritizing the national interests and territorial integrity of the Unitary Republic of
Indonesia; h) equality of position; i) transparency; j) justice; and k) legal certainty.
4.3 Format of Regional Transportation Cooperation
According to the data of field findings in government of Malang and Batu
cities, the feasibility of cooperation stages as referring to the preparation stage by each
region is at the offering stage position. Here is the stages of regional cooperation as
stipulated by the Government Regulation Number 50 Year 2007 as follows,

Data source is formulated from Government Regulation Number 50 Year 2007.
As both local governments are still in the preparation stage, there are many
provisions that are required to be agreed at offering stage of cooperation. Besides the
important presence of the provincial government, Other key figures must be involved
during the stages of initiation. This must be carried out with active and simultaneous
interactions as the implementation of the respective baselines of Malang and Batu city
governments which have been done partially.
The appropriate model of cooperation for the existing condition of each local
government is a specific cooperation on tourism affairs with the form of Cooperative
Construction in the form of procurement of physical buildings of the highway as a liaison
between tourist destinations in both regions. Thus the persistent problem of traffic
congestion resulting from the rapid development of tourism can be addressed together
effectively and efficiently. In addition, Joint Services cooperation model can be done by
both parties by establishing a one-stop service as a tourist information center of both
cities.
2. Conclusion
5.1 Conclusions
Both regions have a complementary tourism potential, and this is a great
strength for realizing regional cooperation. The Local Government of Malang City posses
potential of education, cultural, thematic, shopping and culinary tourism. The Batu City
Government also has the potential of artificial tourism and agro-tourism. In addition,
there are indications of tourism potentials that strengthen the formation of regional
cooperation namely: the proximity of the territory; the one-route of land transportation,
infrastructures of tourism support system (Hotel, Homestay, etc.) and the society
condition that is familiar with the activities of the city as a tourist destination
On the one hand, these indications identify that both regions have the same
problems. On the other hand, this situation leads the realization of regional cooperation in
order to overcome several problems collaboratively such as, traffic jam due to the
abundance of tourists in a peak holiday season, investor challenges and land
transportation that has not been integrated yet. Therefore, intergovernmental networking
scheme is very suitable for framework of cooperation, which begins with the more
specific affairs of tourism. In the near future, the appropriate cooperation model is that
Cooperative Construction model in the form of physical road building procurement as a
liaison point between tourist destinations in both regions and Joint Services cooperation
model can also be done by both parties by establishing one-stop service as tourist
information center of both cities.
5.2 Research Recomendations
1. The need of East Java Provincial Government presence as a stimulator for
realizing the formal institutional cooperation in the field of tourism between the
Government of Malang and Batu Cities.
2. Establishing a team of coordination that initiatives of regional cooperation

LITERATURE REVIEW
According to the Oslo Manual (Zuhal, 2013: 58), innovation has a broad aspect
as it may be in the form of goods or services, processes, marketing methods or new or
renewed organizational methods that are the way out of the problems the organization has
ever faced. Next Green, Howells & Miles (Thenint, 2010: 4) defines innovation as
something new by introducing and performing new practices or processes (goods or
services) or by adopting new patterns from other organizations. In line with the opinion
above Albury and Mulgan in Thenint (2010: 4) says that an innovation can be said to
succeed if the creation and implementation of new processes, products, services and
methods can result in effective and efficient quality improvement. The definition of
innovation according to Evert M. Rogers (Suwarno, 2008: 9) is as an idea, idea, practice

or object / object that is realized and accepted as a novelty by a person or group to be
adopted. The innovations themselves are briefly defined by Ellitan and Anatan (2009: 36)
as changes made within organizations in which to create new products, services, ideas or
new processes. While Fontana (2011: 18) describes innovation as an economic success
thanks to the introduction of new ways or new combinations of old ways of transforming
inputs into outputs (technologies) that result in large or drastic changes in the ratio
between the perceived use value of consumers for the benefits a product (goods /
services) and the price set by the manufacturer.
Furthermore, Samson in Ellitan and Anatan (2009: 3) explains one of the reasons
why innovation is needed because of the rapidly changing business environment that is
more dynamic and hostile, so an organization must be able to manage innovation as a
determinant of organizational success to be competitive.
There are three organizational success keys to innovate effectively which
mentioned by Saleh and Wang in Ellitan and Anatan (1993: 3) are:
1. Strategic Enterprenueral namely to take risks, take a proactive business
approach and management commitment
2. Organizational structure that is more flexible structure, the existence of
interfunctional discipline, and orientation on cross-functional work teams,
3. Organizational climate is a promotive and open climate, power and authority in
an organization which spread not centered on the upper level and provide
effective reward systems. The innovations according to West and Far
(Shipton, 2004) are the deliberate introduction and application of the ideas of
an organization, processes, products or procedures, the adoption of new
product units, designed to increase the benefits more widely and significantly
to the organization or society. In its application innovation has attributes
inherent in the innovation. Attributes of innovation referred to by Rogers
(Suwarno, 2008: 17), among others are: relative advantage or compatibility,
compatibility or complexity, triability or probability of try and observability or
ease observed. Departing from various definitions of the above innovations,
then innovation can be interpreted as the application of new ideas and ideas
into various aspects that can create added value.
Tead in Kartono (2009: 44-47) proposes ten traits of a leader as follows:
1. Physical and nervous energy.
2. Sense of purpose and direction
3. Enthusiasm
4. Friendliness and affection
5. Integrity
6. Technical mastery
7. Decisiveness
8. Intelligence
9. Teaching Skill
10. Faith
According to Siagian (2010: 48) it is commonly known that every organization in
the field of statehood, politics, politics, social and other social organizations, created

or formed as a vehicle to achieve a certain goal, both long-term, medium and short
term which can not be achieved if efforts are achieved by its members acting
independently.
Siagian (1983: 20) states administrative leadership is a fact of organizational life
that leaders play a very important role, even can be said to be very decisive, in an
effort to achieve the goals set previously. It is true that good leaders individually or in
groups can not possibly work alone. Leaders need a group of other people who in
popular terms are known as subordinates, who are mobilized in such a way that the
subordinates provide devotion and dedication to their organizations, especially in an
efficient, effective, economical and productive way of working.
Katz (in Handayaningrat, 1980: 63) states that the principal skills in
administrative leadership can be divided into three parts:
1. Conception Leadership (conceptual skills)
Conceptual skills are the ability to know the organization's overall policy.
Despite the existence of stand-alone functions but the fact that changes in each
other will affect the whole. It can be described that the relationship concerns
the programs in the field of politics, social (community), economy (industry)
throughout the nation. These conceptual skills will increase in importance
especially in top level managers.
2. Humanity skills (human skills)
Human skills are the ability to work in groups or with groups. It is intended to
build a coordinating effort within a team, where it acts as a leader.
3. Technical skills (technical skills)
This technical skill is important for leaders. This level is important for middle
level managers and supervisory management levels where leadership and
subordinate relationships are very close. This skill includes activities that use
methods, processes, procedures, and techniques that are generally associated
with non-person tools. This technical skill is important to lower level
leadership, and is reduced or even absent at the top level.

approach based on the consideration that it is a suitable method to analyze Innovation
Leadership of Mayor Bandung in Bandung Smart City Realization. With a qualitative
approach, the author expected to obtain accurate data and information in accordance
with empirical facts. In other hand, in the qualitative approach, the researcher serves
as a research planner, research implementer, data collector, data analyst, data
interpreter, then the author writes the report.
According to qualitative research theory, in order to have good quality research,
the data must be complete, such as primary and secondary data. Primary data is data in
the form of words spoken or spoken and / or movement or behavior of trusted
subjects, as informants associated with the variables studied. Secondary data is data
from graphic documents (tables, notes, text messages, etc.), photos, movies, video
notes, objects and other things that can enrich the primary data.
The informant selection technique in this study is non-probability, which means
that every element or member of the population does not have the same opportunity to
choose. There are two types of non-probability techniques that can be used, ie
technique purposive and snowball techniques. purposive technique, according to
Sugiyono, is a sampling technique with certain considerations. It is more suitable for
qualitative research or research that is not necessary to attract generalizations.
snowball technique, is a sampling technique that will have more and more samples. In
this technique, there are initially only one or two samples, but researchers may select
more samples if the initial sample is considered inadequate to supplement the data. For
this study, the selection of informants is by this criteria:

The concept formulated by the Mayor of Bandung in Bandung Smart City
Realization listed in the Mayor's Strategy Bandung in the key of Innovation,
Decentralization, and Collaboration.
The concept of smart city from Ridwan Kamil is making Bandung as a digital
city. Each SKPD (Local Government Work Unit) is integrated. The community services
can also be done by online, and ITB students create online applications to facilitate public
service. To support his concept, built a command center in Bandung City Hall with a
budget of Rp 30 billion. The command center is connected with CCTV installed in 80
strategic points of Bandung City. From that room, city government officials can monitor
traffic congestion to street vendors. To build the city of Bandung, according to Ridwan
Kamil has a triangle of strategies, namely innovation, decentralization, and collaboration.
As a city, Bandung has a tourist attraction, Ridwan Kamil seeks to give a positive
impression to the tourists. One of the breakthroughs was the operation of the city tour bus
called Bandung Tour on the Bus (Bandros). The bus rate is similar to that in Singapore
and London. The second floor bus is made open so that tourists can enjoy the city tour
freely. The bus will then stand by at a number of hotels.
The strategy of decentralization, Ridwan Kamil govern the subdistrict and lurah
regularly and take turns to dinner together at the residents' house and Friday prayers
around the village. With these activities the officers become more aware of the problems
faced by their citizens. If leaders understand the difficulties of their citizens, can find a
solution well.
Collaboration strategy, Ridwan Kamil also tried to collaborate with some third
parties to realize the development. For example the construction of a number of city parks
such as movie park and Persib Park. In the era of Ridwan Kamil, the city park in Bandung
was revived. Several thematic parks such as the Elderly Park, Singles Park, Centrum
Music Park, Photography Park, and Flower Garden Library.
There are six criteria of smart city, which applied in Bandung City with the
intention that society can have a healthy communication culture in building their beloved
city, also realize the order of society with integrity with clean, honest and authoritative
government staff. The six requirements to realize the smart city that became a
phenomenon for this country Indonesia, there are:
First, the smart economy, the arrangement of the city of Bandung by Ridwan
Kamil should reflect the smart city in the economic field.
Second, the smart people, the city with a smart society. Smart in building
together at the level of education, creativity and innovation, and smart to build the
diversity of tribes, religions, races and groups (SARA).
Third, the smart mobility, namely adequate transportation for the community and
the ease of internet access for local, national to international communication with
information, communication and technology (ICT) approach.
Fifth, the smart environment, embodied in the form of a clean environment, by
suppressing air and sound pollution from motor vehicles, industry, combustion (fireplace,

stove, furnace traditionally, factory exhaust gas that produces hazardous gases such as
cfc.
Sixth, the smart living which refers to the quality of life is good. Communities
hope to live a decent, free from threats and criminality, and quality and equitable
education and cheap and comfortable recreation places do not encourage consumptive
life.
Humanity Skill in Innovation Of Mayor Bandung Leadership to realize
Bandung Smart City
Human skills are the ability to work in groups or with groups. Establish a
coordinating effort within a team, where it acts as a leader. Related to human skill, the
style of leadership used by the Mayor of Bandung in Bandung Smart City Realization is

with morals and exemplary. In leading Ridwan Kamil always provide a good example to
be a role model for SKPD (Local Government Work Unit) and the whole community. As
a leader, he realizes that his job is to bring about change and accelerate progress. He said
that change should not always come from government initiatives. Therefore, he is very
happy to prioritize the participation of the community in determining the policy direction
of Bandung. He formed many advisory teams of Mayors from various elements of
society.
The way of Mayor Bandung to coordinate with the Office of Communications
and Informatics Bandung with Bandung Comand Center in realizing Bandung Smart City
is the first breakthrough conducted by Ridwal Kamil as Mayor of Bandung early in his
leadership is obliging all SKPD (Local Government Unit), sub-district, and head of
village in Bandung to have a Twitter account. This Ridwan Kamils’ suggestion
revolutionized the way communication between government and citizens so that there is a
direct communication channel that is open at any time because one of the driving factors
of Bandung smart city is a city capable of utilizing technology as a tool for three aspects
of government: connecting, monitoring, and internal controlling.
The implementer, Mayor of Bandung in the concept of Bandung Smart City
Realization invites all SKPD (Local Government Unit) and all elements of society to
participate actively. For example, in the licensing process, with the online community
service it is expected to cut the long and convoluted process that leads to community
satisfaction. Satisfaction of the society can be measured by fast, easy, cheap and
transparent service.
Mayor of Bandung in communicating openly with the public through social
media using instagram one of them. It aims to make Bandung people feel close to their
leaders and take responsibility for development in Bandung, for example, people can
report violations or destruction of public facilities through video or photos so it will cause
deterrent effect for the perpetrator of the violation because the action that was done had
been recorded and can become viral.

Second, the objectivation by making Mbah Kiai Nur Iman as empirical fact.

INTRODUCTION
Kiai was born with power. The argument started the author's main idea in this
study. A set of power resources owned by kiai, unconsciously perpetuates his position as
a leader with his charismatic symbol which has had the implications in his leadership
process. The term kiai is placed as an honorable title within the scope of Islamic society
in Indonesia, mainly among Nahdliyin. Kiai is regarded as central figure as well as role
model. Viewed from the source of its influence, it is not a coincidence until finally

someone called as kiai. Even though he was born as a gus121, it is not guaranteed that he
would later be called as a kiai.
The process of getting a tittle as kiai is very natural kiai, based on the virtue of
nature and the depth of knowledge about Islamic that make the kiai in his position is very
strategic and central. The virtues of kiai's character are always connected with the virtues
of the Prophet Muhammad's character. As explained by Imron Arifin122 in his research in
Tebuireng Islamic Boarding School related to kiai’s leadership explained that the
interaction pattern between kiai, santri (students) and subordinate (follower) is based and
has been patterned in such a way based on religious values according to the pattern of
leadership of Prophet Muhammad SAW. The kiai’s leadership pattern is called
paternalistic religio, obedience and belief in what is taught by kiai based on the virtues of
Prophet Muhammad SAW.
Anasom (2002) states that a person becomes a leader because the person has a
very large charisma (influence)123. While Max Weber (2006) explains that kiai as a
charismatic leader because it obtains God's gift or is supported by the ability to obtain and
maintain its authority124. But what happened in Mlangi, Nogotirto Sub-district, Sleman
Regency, Yogyakarta, that kiai’s leadership is. always connected with the virtue of a prior
figure known as Mbah Kiai Nur Iman. The strategic position of kiai in Mlangi, as a leader
with social reality which is already inherent in his society, will have power implications.
In this research the author wants to describe the implications of social reality toward the
process of kiai’s leadership.
II. Theoretical Framework
Talking about leadership in general we will talk about the process of how a
leader takes the lead. Soerjono Soekanto states that leadership means the ability of a
person (leader) to influence another person (the person being led or the followers), so that
the other person will behave according to what the leader wants125. Hiroko Horikoshi uses
Herbert Feith's leadership model states that there are 2 (two) models of leadership in
Muslim society that are symbolic and administrative. First, the "symbolic" leadership
model. This model assumes that a person becomes a leader because he becomes a symbol
of something which is considered as something worthy (has more ability). Second, the
"administrative" leadership model, is leadership which someone obtains because of the
position he plays in a particular administrative structure126.

In this study represents a symbolic leadership model which assumes that a person
to be a leader because he is considered as something worthy. The figure of the leader in
this research is considered as a representative or symbol of the presence of the Prophet on
earth. Seen from the typology of the leader according to the process of obtaining and the
source of influence so that the leader figure in this research belongs to the type of
informal leaders
Kiai as an informal leader is in line with Kuntowidjojo's opinion (1991) that in
many cases, the role of kiai in rural communities is not only limited to religious issues but
also household affairs, matchmaking, economics, even medicine often places kiai as a
pedestal127. Max Weber (in Soekanto 2006) confirms the distinction between power and
authority. Power is the ability that a leader possesses to influence another, while authority
is an extension of power that a leader has the support or recognition from others128.
Based on the definition of power by Max Weber can also be interpreted as a form of
subjective ability of the class or individual to dominate the other class or individuals.
While the domination concept of Max Weber shows the expands of the power which
related to the ownership that can be used by classes or individuals to dominate the other
class or individuals.
Max Weber (in Soekanto 2006) in explaining power puts forward the pyramid
principle of hierarchy that power works vertically, where there is a particular class or
individual with a set of resources of power which occupy the superior level and on the
other hand there are also certain classes or individuals who occupy the subordinate level.
A person or group, in order to have power must have power resources. Power resources
has a function as distinguish element among leaders who contribute to represent that they
are worthy obeying129.
Peter L. Berger and Thomas Luckman (1966) describe social construction as a
social process through action and interaction, in which the individual creates continuously
a reality which owned and experienced toghether subjectively130. Berger and Luckman (in
Bungin, 2008: 14) describes social reality defined as a quality in a reality that is
acknowledged to have existence which is independent of the will, while knowledge is a
certainty that reality is real and has specific characteristics. Berger and Luckman (in
Bungin, 2008: 15) states there are 3 (three) stages of social reality those are : First,
externalization, it is human self expression in finding his personally in a life. Second,
objectivation, that is the results from human externalization becomes an empirical reality
that can be experienced by everyone. Third, internalization, the human being becomes the
result of society in which certain social interaction environment will interpret the social
reality of each.

Descriptive explorative was used as the method of this resesarch. The type of
qualitative research used in order to minimize the distance between researchers and
informants131. This research tried to describe the contestative leadership of kiai in Mlangi
according to the actual situation that happened in this research location. The researcher
decided to use descriptive explorative in order to reveal the implications of social reality
to the kiai’s leadership in Mlangi.
IV. Results and Discussion
The author defined kiai as a leader who has virtue of character and abilities beyond
others. Mudjahirin Tohir132 asserts that a person obtains the title kiai can be seen through
3 (three) basic parameters, namely: First, the mastery and understanding of religion which
is relatively higher and better than the knowledge of society in the environment. Second,
good attitude or mentality, reflected in the vision of motion that is able to hold a
commitment to the teachings of amar ma'ruf nahi munkar (doing good things ang
avoiding bad things) . Third, the ability to give influence in the form of exemplary,
commitment and consistency to his behavior.
Based on the history of the birth of Mbah Kiai Nur Iman, the title of kiai that he
gained was not because he was a descendant of the famous kiai of his time. He is the son
of Prince R.M. Suryo Putro and R.A. Retno Susilowati. It's just that her father Prince R.M.
Suryo Putro was known as one of the aristocracy of the royal palace of Mataram who
was steadfast in learning the Islamic in Gedangan Islamic Boarding School, Surabaya,
upbringing from Kiai Abdullah Muhsin. In line with his father, Mbah Kiai Nur Iman was
born and grew up also in the Islamic boarding school environment. The name Muhammad
Nur Iman was also a gift from Kiai Abdullah Muhsin. Indeed he was not the descendant
of a kiai but grew up under the care of Kiai Abdullah Muhsin. He was also known as the
forerunner of Mlangi by establishing four Mosques of Jami 'Pathok Negoro in
Yogyakarta, namely Mlangi Village, Babadan Village, Ploso Kuning Village and
Dongkelan Village, so he was considered as the most credible scholars in initiating major
developments of Islamic Religion in Yogyakarta and specifically made Mlangi as one of
the center of its development.
The routinity during his life was full of the activity of preaching to lead the society
to the way of Allah SWT. It makes Kiai Nur Iman more admired. His determination and
persistence in fighting and spreading the teachings of Islamic in every journey of his
da'wah, made a tittle of kiai attached to Mbah Kiai Nur Iman by the society. Seeing from
the virtues of Mbah Kiai Nur Iman, the author identified that the title of kiai from Mbah
Kiai Nur Iman was obtained based on 5 (five) main factors which divided into 2 (two)
categories as follows:

1) The descendants of the noble aristocracy, that was his father who was
firmlystudying in the islamic boarding school;
2) Growing up in the Islamic boarding school environment, namely Gedangan
Islamic boarding school, Surabaya;
3) Taken care by a famous kiai in his time, namely Kiai Abdullah Muhsin as
well as caretaker of Gedangan Islamic boarding school.
Internal Category / Inside of himself
1) Determination, the mandate to run the message of his teacher to always
spread the Islamic Shariah wherever he was;
2) Humble, which is indicated by not wanting to be a king and prefers to da'wah
as a scholar.
So based on these two categories, Mbah Kiai Nur Iman for Mlangi community was
seen as a character of:
1) Inspirator, that he indirectly inspired the Mlangi society against the leader
who was considered very ideal with various virtues;
2) Motivator, that was indirectly provided motivation for Mlangi society to
enforce continuesly Islamic law and kept Mlangi existence as Islamic
religious center in Yogyakarta with various uniqueness that he left behind.
From the observations of the author, it appeared in the social interaction society
in Mlangi that Mbah Kiai Nur Iman was considered as a source of linking, both the origin
and daily activities of Mlangi society, mainly related to the religious worship of Islamic.
The virtues of Mbah Kiai Nur Iman made him as a role model, so that all his traditions
and habits during his lifetime were considered to be an ideal life view to be maintained.
4.1. Externalization of Leadership: Social Stratification Mlangi Jero-Mlangi Jobo
In the development through Mbah Kiai Nur Iman indeed gave a social effect that
made the descendant of social position of Mbah Kiai Nur Iman was more honorable than
the non-descendant. So that, in the social interaction of Mlangi society could be seen that
there was a domination between the descendant and non-descendant of Mbah Kiai Nur
Iman. This phenomenon in society was illustrated by the emergence of the term jero-jobo.
The descendant of Mbah Kiai Nur Iman had a more dominant social position in the
Mlangi society. Mainly that all the kiai in Mlangi were the descendant of Mbah Kiai Nur
Iman. So they were identified as subjects who has a power. The virtues of Mbah Kiai Nur
Iman were the knowledge which continuesly received by the Mlangi society through the
kiai who were the descendant of Mbah Kiai Nur Iman. Based on this phenomenon, the
writer concluded that kia’si characteristic formed a civilization. The terms wong jero and
wong jobo that appeared in the social relations of Mlangi society were very unique. It’s
different from the existence of tribes, or social groups in certain areas. The jero-jobo
phenomenon that appeared in Mlangi was more inherent to the identity of the original
people in Mlangi based on their lineage.
The author showed contestation of Nur-Iman in describing phenomenon Mlangi
Jero-Mlangi Jobo, that was by attaching the identity of the family, the individual as the
descendant of Mbah Kiai Nur Iman. This caused the emergence of social stratification in
Mlangi society into 2 (two) categories namely Mlangi Jero (inside) and Mlangi Jobo
204

(outside). Because of the strong character of Mbah Kiai Nur Iman which evolved in
Mlangi society so it was possible if one by one of Mlangi society would all say that they
were descendant of Mbah Kiai Nur Iman. Tracing from the the history, begun when Kiai
Nur Iman decided to leave the Kartosuro Palace by continuing preaching to several main
places in Yogyakarta. He brought along his followers, Sanusi and Tanmisani, they finally
arrived in the region which now known as Mlangi. He taught the teachings of Islamic
there until the rest of his life133.
Kiai Nur Iman as well as his followers have descendants. The difference of social
status that happened there was Kiai Nur Iman was more to be an employer while Sanusi
and Tanmisani as followers, it happened continuesly from generation to generation until
the offspring of each. According to the story of Mbah Sri Pujo, that's what started the
emergence of Mlangi Jero (Wong Jero) and Mlangi Jobo (Wong Jobo). Wong Jero were
the original people of Mlangi who were identified as Kiai Nur Iman's offspring, so they
were born as a priyayi among the Mlangi society. Borrowed the term from Clifford
Greetz in his work "The Riligion of Java" a priyayi means a hereditary nobility134. While
Wong Jobo135 were the original people of Mlangi identified as a descendant of the
followers of Kiai Nur Iman namely Sanusi and Tanmisani, so they were born as an
ordinary people among the people of Mlangi.
Based on the interview data and the author's observation, the society called Wong
Jobo as “original Mlangi people” who are known of the descendants of Kiai Nur Iman’s
followers, Sanusi and Tanmisani. So that term (Wong Jobo) can not be reversed into Jobo
Mlangi (outside Mlangi) because it would have another meaning that people migrants and
students in some Islamic boarding schools that came from outside Mlangi. The original
Mlangi people had mapped out the people who belong to Wong Jero and Wong Jobo so
that the restrictions on social relationship would be applied. Even among of wong jero
had evidence of their family tree136 to assert that they were the descendant of Kiai Nur
Iman. Gus Rifky described that Mlangi jero comes from the line of descendants of Mbah
Kiai Salim in relation to Mbah Kiai Nur Iman. For example the Kiai Musta'in and Mbah
Kiai Nur Iman as described in chart 4.1. the following:

134
nobility (keturunan bangsawan) Nobles (Bangsawan) according to Kamus Besar Bahasa
Indonesia defined as the descendants of noble people. In this case Wong Jero is identified as a
descendant of Kiai Nur Iman who is known as a noble with all his fame and blood descendants of
the mataram palace attached to him
135
There were another story related to the descendant of wong jobo. According to story from Nur
Salim (hamlet’s leader), wong jobo was the descendant of Mbah Mad Irsyad Rais. He was known
as a succesful farmer. Although they belong to a succesful family at that time, but it didn’t make
their socical position became higher in wong jero
136
Mrs. Nurfaidati as one of the interviewees told that some of wong jero still keep the evidence of
their pedigree stating that they are wong jero and the descendant of Mbah Kiai Nur Iman

But in fact, the descent line of wong jerow does not only come from Mbah Kiai Salim as
told Gus Rifky. There are also the descendant of Mbah Kiai Nur Imam. For example the
lineage of Kiai Salaman as follows:

Family Tree of Kiai Salaman with Mbah Kiai Nur Iman
The tendency of wong jero who always want to be on top of the wong jobo thus
created a kind of social class division in the Mlangi society. This phenomenon had further
implications in the social interaction of the Mlangi society. Based on the social status, the
pattern of behavior and social relations of the Mlangi society was naturally formed. Wong
Jobo would tend to comply to Wong Jero. In contrast to Wong Jero, because he felt
higher in position than wong jobo, then they created distance in their social relationships,
such as the relationship of the king with the servant. Even believed by Mbah Sri Pujo the
term Jero and Jobo was not only developed in Mlangi but also all the areas where
coexisted between the descendants of Mbah Nur Iman with the descendants of his
followers, especially in the Pathok Negoro area in Yogyakarta that was Hamlet Mlangi,
Babadan Village , Ploso Kuning Village and Dongkelan Village.
The existence of Mlangi Jero and Mlangi Jobo could not be mapped
geographically because they had mixed one another. It did not appear among of them that
they grouped themselves in a particular area, mainly in the area of Mlangi. Based on the
results of observations the author found there was a tendency of people from 4 (four)
different hamlets called them "Wong Mlangi" ie Mlangi Hamlet, Sawahan Hamlet,
Pundung Hamlet, and Ngledok Hamlet. Thosefour villages were by Mlangi Jero.
Although there were wong jero who lived outside the Mlangi cultural area, he was still
regarded as a wong jero by the Mlangi community and would not change their priyayi
status. For example Kiai Salimi, the leader and caregiver of As-Salimiyah Islamic
Boarding School which is located outside Mlangi but Mlangi society still highly respects
him as a kiai who is also descendant of wong jero.
While for Mlangi Jobo was more often identified by the title "lor-loran" which
refers to the community of Kampung Blendangan which was still belong to the
administrative part of Mlangi Hamlet in the north. From generation to generation they
had also identified each other, whether they were Wong Jobo or Wong Jero. So the
restrictions in social relations between the two different offspring had been naturally long
lasting in Mlangi. Wong Jero tended to emphasize their priyayi status over Wong Jobo.
There were several phenomenas related to the restrictions in the social relationship
between wong jero and wong jobo. First, everyday greetings, there were some greetings
that had been passed down from generation to generation which were dedicated to Wong
Jobo to Wong Jero.
1) Gus was addressed for unmarried men or bachelor.
2) Mbok Roro was addressed for unmarried women or virgins.
3) Den Nganten was addressed for married men.
4) Mas Nganten was addressed for married women
The phenomenon related to the greetings was confirmed by Kiai Musta'in, he also
added that the greetings were a testament from Kiai Nur Iman which delivered to his
khadam (servant) namely Sanusi and Tanmisani. So that, thus greetings had been passed
down to their descendant. The descendant of wong jobo would not dare to call the
descendant of wong jero with the greetings besides those which the author mentioned.
Greeting had become a daily greeting, wong jobo were very aware of their social status

under wong jero. Otherwise, the descendant of wong jero would be offended if they were
called by the wong jobo with the title other than that.
Second, deal with the use of language in everyday life. Wong jobo tended to use
bahasa kromo alus (languange of javanese which was spoken very subtle, ie. When a
child speaks to parents/ the eldest) to wong jero. On the other hand, wong jero tended to
use bahasa ngoko (Javanese language which usually used by common people in Java,
some people usually avoid it to speak to someone older) to wong jobo137. Like the
relationship between the king and the servant.
Third, related to marriage138 . Wong Jero had a tendency to marry off their children
with the descendant of wong jero as well. Then the descendants of Wong Jero would
avoid marrying the descendant of Wong Jobo because it was considered as degeneration
of social status. Wong Jero would tend to maintain his noble status by marrying Wong
Jero's descendants. Wong Jero thought if they were forced to marry off their childreen
with someone who were not descendants of Wong Jero, it would be better to marry
someone far outside the Mlangi area rather than having to marry with the descendant of
Wong Jobo139. As is the case with Kiai Hasan Abdullah's identity, he was not the
descendant of Mbah Kiai Nur Iman, because he married Kiai Suja'i's daughter who was
identified as wong jero, so Kiai Hasan Abdullah's identity in Mlangi was also attached as
wong jero. It was reinforced by Kiai Musta'in's statement in his interview "even though
he is not from wong jero’s circle, when he is already a son-in-law of wong jero he will be
considered as wong jero."
Fourth, related to the role in the event of Islamic Religion. As already discussed in
some previous research that is Haul Mbah Kiai Nur Iman. Many researchers had stated
that Haul Mbah Kiai Nur Iman is an event belonging to wong jero only. According to
Robert W. Hefner's notes (2001: 46) in his work "Ngesuhi Deso Sak Kukuban", Haul
started in 1990 and held every 15th of Suro on the call of Mbah Mad Watucongol, fourth
generation of Mbah Kiai Nur Iman’s descendant. Involvement of Wong jobo in this event
is practically nonexistent. The core committee element only involves wong jero. As
quoted from interview with Kiai Musta'in: " in Haul event, the committee only from
wong jero, usually wong jobo be spectators only." Whereas in the Haul event involving
various elements of society, ranging from political figures, religious leaders, pilgrims,
until the accessories merchants, who didn’t know much who Mbah Kiai Nur Iman, would
participate in the Haul event. So the motive of Haul was not only limited to religious
motive but also it could be said that it develop into economic or political motives.
Fifth, relating to the funeral rations at the burial complex of Mbah Kiai Nur Iman,
137
Hefner, W. Robert. 2001. Ngesuhi Deso Sak Kukuban. Yogyakarta: LKIS. page. 150
The society in Mlangi people did not recognize the term chieftain which is usually assigned by
Office of Religious Affairs.But for Mlangi someone who usually become a chieftain is kiai. And
usually in Mlangi community kiai who get that role is Kiai Suja'i
139
quote from an interview with Kiai Musta'in "... it used to be that wong jero's descendant would
also marry wong jero’s descendant. But now, it is a little different, wong jero also open himself to
marry the descendant other than wong jero. But still, it is not with wong jobo. Better to marry a
people outside Mlangi than have to marry a wong jobo”

as follows140 :
1) The tomb complex on the north side of Jami’ Mosque Pathok Negoro Mlangi
is reserved for the palace family.
2) Tomb complex on the south side or usually called "kidul uwit kecik (south
kecik tree)" is for the descendant of wong jobo.
3) The tomb complexes other than those mentioned above are all for the
descendant of wong jero. Especially the west side is dedicated to the kiai.
The people of wong jero tried to maintain their priyayi identity over wong jobo.
The structure of knowledge that Wong Jero had successfully established, stated that they
were the descendant of Mbah Kiai Nur Iman made themselves were worthy of having
higher social status than those who were identified as wong jobo. By putting forward the
discourse of the descendants of an influential nobleman with all his will (in this case
Mbah Kiai Nur Iman) made the position of wong jero in the social intercourse of Mlangi
society to be very honorable. While wong jobo, was either true or not that they were the
descendants of servents from Mbah Kiai Nur Iman, comply to the discourse created
continuously by wong jero.
Unconsciously that wong jero’s effort was one form of efforts to gain a blessing
from kiai. Clifford Greetz (1960) stated about Javanese cosmology that the ancestors
became a kind of center for the origin of society. Through the ancestors they expected
blessings related to the ease of life and built social relationships. More than that this
origin was an expression and a symbol of what made human became human. Mbah Kiai
Nur Iman became the link of origin for discourse by wong jero so that they succeeded in
obtaining social security, inner security and even economic security. In the first
implication that the leadership of the kiai in Mlangi accommodated more of the
externalization stage of identifying the themselves as wong jero so that automatically they
had power over.
4.2.
Leadership Objectivization: Mbah Kyai Nur Iman as Empirical Reality
Seen from a society social point of view, the existence of Mlangi community was
very different from the people in other areas, where all the local Mlangi community was
fragmented into the thick kinship frame, that was the descendant of Mbah Kiai Nur Iman.
The leader for the Mlangi community is the kiai. Kiai occupies the highest position in the
social structure of the Mlangi community. As in Chart 4.3. the following:

Treasurer: 1). Kiai Asfan Abdullah, 2). Gus Mufron
By the Mlangi society, the kiai were regarded as figures who become the source of
knowledge. It can be seen in the non-formal organization structure in Mlangi society,
which placed the elder kiai as the masayeh council, the highest leader in the Mlangi
society. While under the kiai there is takmir/ pilgrims of mosque. Kiai who occupies the
position as a masayeh council must be descendants of wong jero. Even the latest story
from Kiai Salaman that to be a takmir Masjid Jami 'Pathok Negoro Mlangi must be
shown with evidence that they belong to the descendants of Mbah Kiai Nur Iman. Mbah
Kiai Nur Iman made the kiai in his social position as the most honorable figure and
considered to have virtues than others in Mlangi society.
First, externalization was the expression of the human self in finding his personal
life. Second, objectivation was the results from human externalization became an
empirical reality that could happen to everyone. Third, the internalization was human
became the result of society in which a certain social interaction environment would
interpret each of the social reality. In the second implication that the leadership of the kiai
in Mlangi tends to be objectivity. That made Mbah Kiai Nur Iman as an empirical reality.
The role implied that Mbah Kiai Nur Iman was a source of knowledge among the kiai and
also a symbol of truth for Mlangi society.

V. Conclusion
Based on the description and analysis in this paper, the author concluded that the
social reality that had been constructed in the community had implications for the
leadership approach of the kiai in Mlangi. There were 2 (two) implications that massively
influence the leadership of kiai in Mlangi; First, externalization by identifying himself as
wong jero. Mbah Kiai Nur Iman had been a source of linkage and created social
stratification among kiai in Mlangi. Second, the objectivation by making Mbah Kiai Nur
Iman as empirical fact. Mbah Kiai Nur Iman regarded as a source of knowledge and
justification for all activities of kiai leadership in Mlangi.
Max Weber's dominant concept of relevance is used in this study, where the
leadership of the kyai in Mlangi stems from the ownership of certain resources. In this
research, the linkage resources with the previous kyai are used continuously as a reality
which is owned and experienced together subjectively by the Mlangi community so as to
create the dominance of the class or other individuals in Mlangi. The situation is also in
line with the concept of social construction presented by Peter L. Berger and Thomas
Luckman. So in the study of political science provides a new assertion that leadership is
how an individual is able to create social construction through the resources of power it
has.

Abstract
The development of information technology has been adopted by the public service
system, where the application of technology in a local government in principle is a
facilitator for the process of service to the community, promoting and assisting the field
of administration. The tourism sector has become a cornerstone and has contributed to
the local revenue of the local government of District Ciamis. Tourism information system
has been implemented and has been integrated with the information system of Local
Government of Ciamis Regency. But the regional income from the tourism sector is so
volatile. This study aims to analyze the management information system of the Regional
Government of Ciamis Regency as an effort in increasing the local revenue from the
tourism sector, using qualitative descriptive analysis method. The result of the research
shows that the management information system of the local government of Ciamis
Regency has a significant influence on the increase of local revenue from the tourism
sector and the result of data analysis based on the data triangulation method. It shows
that the increase and decrease of regional income from the tourism sector are influenced
by the number of a tourist visit, the tourism service system, infrastructure of the tourism
industry.

1. INTRODUCTION
In the era of regional autonomy, local governments have a strategic role to realize
good government. With the policy of regional autonomy, it is expected that all regions in
Indonesia, including in District Ciamis, are expected to be able to carry out all
government and development affairs based on local revenue. Indigenous revenues consist

of local taxes, regional retributions, and separated wealth management results. The
greater the contribution of local revenues, it will lead to less dependence of local
governments on the central government in terms of budget procurement. In other words,
it can increase the financial independence of the area.
Local revenue in District Ciamis has decreased from tourism retribution in 2015. In
2014, the revenue from tourism levy sector of Ciamis Regency is 830.805.100 IDR, while
in the year 2015 of 462.411.550 IDR. This situation will result in the budgeting posture in
the next period and affect the regional development program that has been declared.
Local taxes and regional levies are an important source of local revenue to finance the
implementation of governance and regional development. The problems faced by the
Regional Government, in general, are related to the extracting of local taxes and levies as
part of the local revenue component, and the component has not contributed significantly
to the overall revenue (Sidik, 2002). One that contributes greatly to the increase in local
revenues, namely regional levies from the tourism sector.
Tourism as a tool to improve the welfare of society and regional income should be
utilized effectively and efficiently. So that the negative impact of tourism can be
minimized. But in the development of tourism constrained by the limited human
resources and the availability of tourist accommodation and lack of promotional activities
(Andriani, Martono, & Muhamad, 2014). Thus it is necessary efforts in increasing
tourism promotion activities in increasing the number of tourist visits. The more tourists
that come, the possibility of the amount of revenue from the levy of tourism sector also
increases.
The efforts have been made by the Regional Government of Ciamis Regency, which
implements Management Information System as part of public information service
model. This can be seen on the website of each local government work unit that provides
information starting from the profile of the Department until the achievement of the
performance of each period. The public can access the various information contained in
the website and the community can also see the progress of the region from various
sectors. Similarly, the Tourism Office of Ciamis Regency has a website that contains
content about tourism and local culture original from Ciamis Regency since 2014.
With the information related to tourism, be it nature tourism, culture, and history on
the website, it is expected to increase the number of local and foreign tourists visit Ciamis
Regency. In line with that, then every year from the tourism sector can increase the
amount of revenue original area of Ciamis Regency.
Nevertheless, the implementation of management information system as an effort of
local government in increasing the original revenue of the area has not been analyzed
whether or not it has influence in increasing the amount of original income of Ciamis
Regency, especially from the tourism sector. Therefore, in this study aims to analyze the
management information system of the local government of Ciamis Regency as an effort
in increasing the local revenue from the tourism sector.

2.1 System
The system is a collection of subsystems/parts/components of any kind whether
physical or non-physical that are interconnected with each other and work together in
harmony to achieve a certain goal. The system within an agency or institution consists of
components of human resources, tools or machinery, and interconnected buildings
(Susanto. A, 2002:18). If one of the components cannot work, it will affect the other
components.
2.2 Information
Information is a collection of data that has been processed, both qualitative and
quantitative and has a broader meaning. Information as a result of data processing
obtained by each element of the system becomes a form that is easily understood and is a
relevant and necessary knowledge in understanding the facts that exist (Rochaety. E, et
al., 2008:4). Therefore, information is a statement that describes an event, object or
concept.
2.3 Management
Management as a process consisting of planning, organizing, mobilization,
supervision undertaken to determine and achieve the goals set. Management is the
process of functions to effectively carry out tasks and efficiently use resources to achieve
organizational goals (Silalahi. U, 2015:5). Based on this, management can be viewed as a
series of management processes that use management functions from planning, data
collection, data collection, processing, storage and dissemination of information
2.4 Management Information Systems
In today's digital age, information and communication technology has progressed and
impacted human activities in various sectors of change. Likewise in the public service
sector undertaken by the government, the development of information and
communication technology has spawned a public service model that has been done based
on management information systems. The system constitutes an orderly arrangement of
interrelated activities of an interrelated arrangement of procedures which carry out and
facilitate the principal activities of the organization or institution and the system is an
inseparable part of one component to another.
It is directly related to information that can not be separated from a management
within an institution. Information is very important because it has meaning and benefits
for its users. An information system is a system within an organization that reconciles the
needs of daily transaction processing, support operations, managerial and strategic
activities of an organization and provide certain outside parties with the necessary reports.
There are three changes in the field of information technology, namely the presence
of mobile digital-based platform, the use of data within a company, and the development

of data storage in the form of cloud computing (Laudon K.C and Laudon J.P, 2014:36).
The change is in line with the rapid development of the Internet and it is causing changes
in various fields. According Pangestu (2007:9) defines "Management information system
is a collection of the interaction of information systems responsible for collecting and
processing data to provide information useful for all levels of management in planning
and control activities." It also causes transformation management in the field of public
services, ie from the conventional bureaucratic pattern turned into information-based data
management.
The concrete example of the implementation of management information systems on
public services, namely the emergence of an e-government concept. E-government is an
electronic-based government governance to improve the quality of effective and efficient
public services (Kurniawan, Rakhmawati, Abadi, Zuhri, & Sugiyanto, 2017). The
development of the system will create a structured management system and faster work
processes. In building information systems, appropriate methods and evaluations are
required in building appropriate information system applications.
Applications designed to support the creation of an information system require
consideration of how many applications are available, which include project management
and evaluation methods involving project management methods that evaluate selected
software applications (Kostalova, Tetrevova, & Svedik, 2015). Thus building
management information system is done through planning, implementation, management,
and evaluation.
2.5 Tourism
2.5.1 Definition of Tourism
Tourism is an industry whose survival is determined by good environmental badness.
Good environmental conditions, then the tourism industry will develop well as well
(Soemarwoto, Otto, 2004:309). Tourism is the whole of the related elements (tourists,
tourist destinations, travel, industry, etc.) which is the result of a tourist trip to a tourist
destination, as long as the journey is not permanent.
2.5.2 Tourism System
There are five main elements in the tourism system: (1) traveler-generating region;
(2) departing traveled; (3) transit route region; (4) tourist-destination region; and (5)
returning traveler (Pitana, I.G, and Diarta, I.K.S, 2009:58). The illustration of the tourism
system, described as follows:

Fig.1 Simple Model of Tourism System, by Leiper, 1990.
However, based on the picture there are three main elements, namely the elements of
tourists, geographical elements and elements of the tourism industry. Tourists as actors
who do tourism activities, so that affect tourism activities in an area. The fewer tourists
visit, the less tourism activity in the area. Geographical factors or the location of tourism
objects and tourism activities such as souvenir contribute to tourism activities.
Information and access become an important element in the sustainability of tourism
activities. So required a tourist information system that allows tourists to explore tourist
attractions in an area.
2.5.3 Tourism Information System
In traveling, tourists rely on various media information such as maps, brochures, and
websites. Maps facilitate tours in finding sights easily. Limitations of the information
displayed on the small map become the weakness of the map as an appropriate
information medium. The brochure provides enough information about a tourist
attraction. But the brochure also has constraints if it must be connected with other objects
such as temple tours with cheap hotels, water tours with tourism agents and so forth.
Media website as a fast and accurate tour guide becomes the last alternative to gaining
information. The lack of current information and the vast number of tourist website
providers are increasingly confusing tourists to choose the right tourist spots
(Handayaningsih, 2010).
Based on this, tourism marketing can now be done directly through various online
media. This is supported by the development of the reach of the community to access the
internet. The reach of the website-based marketing system not only reaches local tourists
but also attracts foreign tourists.
2.6 Local Original Revenue
Fiscal decentralization has had implications for the shifting of tasks and functions of
the central government more towards organizing the steering functions and delegating
most of the activities in the regions by giving full confidence and responsibility to the

regions, one of which is in the management of indigenous local opinions that are
managed independently by the local government. Local Revenue is the revenue from
local taxes, regional levies, separated regional wealth management and other income.
Local Taxes are taxes whose management and collection are carried out by the local
government and for the benefit of the region itself (Mosal, 2013).
Increased local revenues will not necessarily increase capital expenditures but are
contingent, that is one of them, depending on regional economic growth (Ngurah &
Kartika, 2014). Economic activity in the regions and indicators of economic growth in an
area can be seen in Gross Regional Domestic Product. The greater gross regional
domestic product generated and the achievement of regional revenues will help the region
towards regional financial independence, as well as improving the welfare of the people.
Regional financial independence is needed, as it helps in improving development.
Similarly, the original revenue of the region will be a driver for the performance of
regional finances. Local Original Revenue simultaneously has an effect on financial
performance, however, partially only other genuine local own revenues have high
dominance in influencing financial performance, while local taxes, regional retributions,
and firm and regional wealth results are not dominantly affecting performance finance to
the district government (Wenny, 2012). Good regional financial management will also
impact on local governance and local revenue and expenditure budgets.
Based on the above, local revenue is an income for regions derived from local taxes,
regional charges, regional wealth management, and other legally valid revenues. Local
revenue is the mainstay of good governance. Public information disclosure, to be one
form of government transparency in the management of local budgets. With the local
revenue also, local government can do infrastructure development periodically in every
period.
2. The Method
Research method The research method used in this research, that is descriptive
qualitative research method. The data collection technique is done by: (a) observation; (b)
interviews; (c) field notes and (d) documentation. In addition, data processing techniques
using data triangulation techniques. This can be achieved by a) comparing observational
data with interview data; b) compare what people say in public with what is said
personally; c) compare what people say about the research situation with what it says all
the time; d) comparing a person's circumstances and perspectives with the opinions and
opinions of people such as ordinary people, middle or high educated people, resident,
governmental people; e) compare the results of interviews with the contents of a related
document (Lexy, J.M, 2011: 330).
3. Research Results and Discussion
Management information systems in public service agencies have been implemented
and are one way in improving services to the public. Measuring the performance of
government agencies is intended to improve accountability, transparency, organizational
management and service improvement to the community. Performance information

generated by a performance measurement system is intended for the needs of
stakeholders of the organization, ie internal and external stakeholders (Sudaryanti, 2013).
In the implementation of e-government, information, communication, and
transactions between communities and government are done via the internet. So there are
some benefits generated like for example, communication in the administrative system
takes place in a matter of hours instead of days or weeks. That is, government service to
the community becomes very fast, service and information can be provided 24 hours a
day, seven days a week. Information can be searched from office, home, even mobile
anywhere without having to physically come to government offices or public service
places. Acceleration of the speed of service means also savings in time, energy, and
resources (Sosiawan, 2008).
Similarly, tourism information system in Ciamis District as a form of implementation
of e-government has been used, ie with the Tourism Office website Ciamis Regency since
2014. On the website are shown some excellent attractions in the District of Ciamis.
Views of the website are quite complete, but less support for smartphone users, because it
has not been mobile friendly. It is necessary to standardize the creation of government
website templates, including the selection of features that want to be owned, the selection
of information to be displayed, the provision of information, the selection of service
features, and the provision of two-way communication between government and society
(A Hasibuan, Zainal; Harry, 2005).
The tourism sector in District Ciamis is one of the assets and revenue generators for
the region. Visits of local and foreign tourists influential in the amount of revenue from
the tourism sector levies. The more tourists visit, the more the local revenue from the
tourism sector. The number of tourist visits to the District of Ciamis, as follows:

Based on the table there is an increase and decrease in the number of tourists.
Although the Ciamis Regency government has a website as a means/media of tourism
promotion and information provider of the tourism sector. The number of visits in 2015
has increased, while in 2016 the number of tourist visits has decreased. In addition, the
number of foreign tourists decreased significantly decreased in 2016, from 21 people in
2015 to only 5 people in 2016. Thus the existence of the tourism sector website, quite

influential on the increase in the number of tourist arrivals, especially domestic tourists.

Based on the table, the amount of regional revenue from the tourism sector is
dynamic, where there is an increase and also decrease. Whether it's after the website as an
implementation of a management information system, or before the website. This
fluctuation reflects the dynamism of a budgetary income posture, but it also indicates the
inadequacy of some targets from a government agency. In addition, it needs evaluation
and follow-up to overcome it. Evaluation required, ie evaluation of website templates and
follow-up in improving the management of information systems in the tourism sector.
4. Conclusion
Management information system of the local government of Ciamis Regency has a
significant influence on the increase of local revenue from the tourism sector. This can be
seen from the increase and decrease of tourism revenue figures between before and after
the implementation of the local government management information system.
Fluctuations in regional revenues from the tourism sector occur, not just from the
application of information systems but there are several other factors. The results of data
analysis based on data triangulation method, namely the increase and decrease of regional
income from the tourism sector is influenced by the number of tourist visits, and the
system of tourism services, as well as tourism industry infrastructure. Innovations in
tourism and the addition of new attractions are needed to increase the region's revenue
from the tourism sector.

INTRODUCING
According to written history and oral tradition that evolved over time, the
name 'Nita' is derived from the name of a large tree that grows in the midst of a
village called Nita2 tree. Under the auspices of this tree in the old days when a
shelter or a break even 'terminal between villages', including a market or place of
buying and selling between villagers at that time.
The name of the tree and the place is then passed down from time to time in the usual
mention of E'i Nita, Lau Nita, Le Nita, Wali Nita, Wawa Nita or Reta Nita, to
indicate where the origin and destination of travel or place of residents called 'Natar
Nita'. This is the origin of naming Nita Village or Nita Village with Nita Tree as a
symbol of the name and history of its mention.
The Nita population at that time live in groups or called'Kloang' in a customary or
tribal unit with a common house called 'lepo' and headed by a tribal chief4.
From 'kloang' or 'tribe' an, 'Lepo' is what forms a unity called 'Natar'
or Kampung under the leadership of the Village Head. From historical records and
oral stories developed, recorded approximately 7 (seven) tribes or lepos who lived
and developed in those days up to now such as; LepoGete (Queen / King),
LepoKolit, LepoDegodona, LepoGeronpun, LepoLorat, Lepo Orin Bao and Lepo
Tour Orin Gete. In the course of time along with the expansion of the Dutch East
Indies to Indonesia and Flores in particular, then also formed a new model of
government in each village with the mention of each. Among other 'Natar Nita'
became the territory of Kapitan Nita (more or less the same as Kampung) with the
first Head of Kampung or KapitanPhilipusMudaMeak da Silva and Raja Nita (the
name of the Head of the Kampung alliance or called Kingdom) Don Juang da
Silva. Subsequently by the Government of the Dutch East Indies, the Kingdom of
Nita later affiliated with the Kingdom of Sikka and Nita himself became Hamente
under the leadership of Captain Don Pederico da Silva.

VILLAGE CONDITION
2.1 Simpang Rimba Village Condition Before Implementation of Village Funds
Village funds begin to enter the village through the village government at the end
of 2015. As for village conditions before the village funds, the source of village
expenditure is practically relying only from the Village Fund Allocation (Dana
Dana Desa) which utilizes for the fund to finance all fields, government,
development field, field of coaching, and empowerment field. Thus, it is certain
that there are very few activities in the village, especially in the areas of
development and empowerment. Because the fund is still divided with other
fields.
Development carried out in the village was still minimal, it can be seen that the
absence of facilities and infrastructure posyandu like buildings and equipment.
Implementation of Posyandu activities is in three locations of activities. And the
activity was still riding in the homes of local residents in each hamlet.
The access road in the village of Simpang jungle where the condition of the
village consists of transmigration residents and consists of 3 transmigration areas,
it is certain that road conditions still need improvement either to increase the main
road from access to each transmigration area, improvement of road quality for
access area agriculture, and improving the quality of roads to develop spatial
layout and spatial homes of citizens. So this is needed by the village.
The water channels in each hamlet are still minimal. And the condition of hilly
settlement land, and there are also residential areas close to the land with a lot of
water content. Thus causing the road less durable because it is caused by the
erosion of the rain water. And the road was easily damaged.

And because there is still a lack of water channels in the area then when entering
the rainy season, the water can not be directed properly so that sometimes can go
into the home page of the citizens or into the home residents.
Means of sport is still minimal because of the many hamlets that exist in the
village of jungle intersection. While the income from the village was still
minimal, so pembanguna for facilities and sports facilities were still minimal.

Abstrack
Village law of 2014 giving new changes related to village finance. It is a consequence of
financial help from APBN or village finance. Each district and village competing to
manage village finance in order to achieve transparent and accountable village finance.
Banyuwangi district is a district that providesa new breakthrough in village finance
management trough e-village budgeting (e-VB). The setting of this e-VB is regulated in
regent regulation no 15 2015 about Village Finance Management Regulation. Previously,
e-VB already launched on 7 December 2014 by Minister of Village, Underdeveloped
Region and Transmigration, Marwan Ja’far in the tomb of heroes Wisma Raga Satria
Banyuwangi. E-VB is a system of village finance management that includes planning, act,
arrangement, report and responsibility of village finance. E-VB system integrates
between village and DPMD website and Bappeda Banyuwangi. That is whythe role of
village head becomes very important in the e-VB implementation. Village head
responsible for the orderly of village finance management as the requirement of budget
disbursement. in 2015, all the village in Banyuwangi district already does the planning
and finance arrangement through e-VB. In 2016, the whole 189 villages already reach
the reporting phase through the e-VB system. While in 2017, Banyuwangi District trying

around 1 billion annually. The village fund itself will be transferred through District
Income and Purchasing Budget that is used to fund the village management,
developmental implementation, society coaching and social empowerment (District Law
No 14 Tahun 2015 article 1 about village fund).
Village fund becomes new fund source in village income besides PADes, ADD,
profit sharing and other village fund source. The amount of village fund that bigger than
other fund source provide consequences to village government.
Several possible
consequences are the demand of preparation and commitment of village government to be
able to manage village fund according to the budget logic. Based on that, it is needed
some comprehensive effort to facilitate and direct village government to be capable of
doing the activity program in more prepared, transparent and accountable.

involve cooperation between Banyuwangi Governmental District especially society and
village empowerment agency, planning and area developmental agency, communication
and technological information agency, and village government in the whole Banyuwangi
district.

village finance management. The regent regulation is referred to the village law no 6,
2014. Oneof the points explained about village finance, especially about the village head
authority toward village finance management. Village head is the highest authority power
holder in the village finance managerial ( article 75 of village law). It means that village
head has a vital role in the success or failure of budgeting distribution. Based on that,
village head is demanded to understand the distribution mechanism up to the
responsibility of village finance to avoid any budget abuse.

e-VB application in Banyuwangi is not automatically getting support from the
whole stakeholder, there is a pro and contra before this system is legally applied. At the
beginning of 2014, Banyuwangi district governmental district intends to apply e-VB
system is not directly accepted by village government. A lot of village head refuse the
new system since they think that manual administration system is easier to understand
rather than the new technology. However, the whole of village head finally agrees to
accept after getting socialization by the district government. The e-VB system is finally
launched in the late of 2014 by Banyuwnagi governmental district. Since that, village
head along with secretary and treasurer actively apply e-VB system. One of Banyuwangi
governmental district authority effort to support village government enthusiasm is by
increasing the support intensity and training of e-VB per month.

Banyuwangi district is close to Situbondo district, while the east side is Bali Strait. The
southern side is limiting by Indonesian Ocean while the west side is Jember and
Bondowoso district.
In geographic, Banyuwangi district in Java island is the furthest from Jakarta as
the main city. However, the internet connection of Banyuwangi district cannot be called
to be defeated by other big cities. It is simply because Banyuwangi is chosen by PT.
TELKOM as the first city to implement the digital society system. Digital Society
(disco) is a new program by Telkom to open up the access to telecommunication for
society. PT Telkom choose Banyuwangi as a national role model since this district has
rapid economic growth level. According to the statistical data, the economic growth of
Banyuwangi district achieves7,8 %
point in 2012 (Data of Statistical Agency of
Banyuwangi District in 2012). Banyuwangi district has reached 11 ranks from 50 lists of
richest district or city in Indonesia 2012 that released by Warta Ekonomi 12edition in
2012.Besides that, this district is in the third rank of investigation place
destination.Officially, Telkom cooperates together with Banyuwangi district governance
to launch Banyuwangi Digital Society (B-Diso) program in 2013.
The existence of B-Diso program provides an effecton the increase of internet
connection facility in Banyuwangi. The effortthant continuoususuallytaken by
Banyuwangi governance to create a society that familiar with the internet is supported by
the increase of the expenditure budget for tools and facility. Until now on, the
expenditure budget to support this program is around ten billion per year including the

Banyuwangindistrict governance targeted to set more than 1000 Wifispot to be installed in
public area. In the first trimester in 2015, Banyuwangi already builds 1500 WiFi spot that
spread around praying facility and green open area (gis.banyuwangi.kab.go.id).
Until now on, the WiFi spot keeps increasing until reached village area. That is
why
Banyuwangi district governanceuses it to increase public service quality and
administrative activity with e-government basis. One of online application facility is
using WiFiconnection from Banyuwangi district called e-VB. WiFi availability until the
village area in the whole Banyuwangi district area makes the society gets easier to access
information and participate in order to increase transparency and accountability of village
governance.
Village Problem
Since village can obtain a big amount of fund per year, it resulting some problem
in several village governances in Indonesia. The problem also exists in Banyuwangi
district. In general, the issue will be divided into two, the human resource as financial
administrator and technical problem related to village finance administration process.
Banyuwangi district itself has 189 villages that spread in an area with a width of 5.782,50
km2. In the other side, Banyuwangi governance staff that is in charge to accompany and
guide the process of village finance management only around 35 people from DPMD. It
is absolutely irrelevant amount since there is abundant village number spread across
Banyuwangi district. The limited human resource from DPMD resulting minimum
guidance and control toward village finance. Automatically, it will result in the lateness
of fund and improper budgeting allocation.
Besides a minimum guidance and companion, village governance capacity in
Banyuwangi district is also less capable to plan and understand the village rule. Village
governance understanding toward village rule is a must, especially for village secretary
that having an authority to arrange village rule. Village rule itself is guidance for village
governance in realizing the planning of village income and expenditure budget. Village
rule that has been legitimated by village head will be processed in the next stage of
village finance level. That is why, before getting legitimate, village governance need to
examine again whether it already suits with the priority of village development.
Another related problem regarding a human resource of village governance is the
less optimal of systematic planning of village development. Village governance should be

able to catch aspiration and real need of its society. In fact, most of the villagegovernance
is only work to fulfill their responsibility as village staff. The quality and capability of
village governance still in minimum level. It is simply because their job is only limited in
administrative role and not an innovative one. Village governance staff tend to create
village income and expenditure budget that consist of routine expense and only provide
minimum priority to develop infrastructure and activity that focused on society
empowerment. Village society idea that useful for developmental success cannot
beaccommodated in a planning and budgeting by village staff.
Amount of fund that received by village needs to be balanced with the increasing
of transparency and accountability of village finance management. However, the problem
gets arise when the reporting system of village governance is still not accurate enough. It
is simply because the planning, administration, andfinancial reporting process in
Banyuwangi village still work on the manual system. It makes it difficult to provide an
accountable village financial report because of a lot of factors that resulting report
arrangement failure. Village finance report should be made in a high accuracy level as a
prove of village governance responsibility for the use of the budget in one of the period.
The technical mistake of the procedural issue is easy to happen in the
arrangement of APBDes, RPJMDes, RKPDes up to the village finance responsibility
report. The common technical problem that usually appears in village governance in
Banyuwangi issimilar financial report arrangement between village governance with the
minister of finance, the basic unit price of goods and service between one village and
other, the presence of unbalance of more or less usage of budget usage. Not only that,
another kind of problem is about the lateness of financial report, incomplete prove of
purchasing a note for responsibility letter, and unstandardized village income and
expenditure budget. From the whole technical problem of village financial administration
and management that explained above, there will be a low possibility to provide a valid
data.

This system is created by communication and information agency in application and
information technology management which is started in 2014. During preparation and
implementation process of e-VB, DPMD of Banyuwangi district cannot be separated
from other SKPD such as transportation agency, communication and information agency,
inspectorate, bappeda, governance agency, Kecamatan, village head and village staff in
the whole Banyuwangi village.
E-VB adopted the online application model arrangement in district area which is
called district finance system or well known as an information system of management
planning. Administration and reporting. e-VB model image using the platform of SIKD /
SIMRAL, makes village governance staff get easier to operate village finance
administration in a faster way. Besides that, e-VB with its open source and open platform
basis have some advantages since it can be developed according to the need of
Banyuwangi governance. the e-VB system is directly connected to DPMPD office and
Banyuwangi Bappeda. DPMD is in charge to control and guide the village finance
administration to get faster, exact and effective. Bappeda keeps its role as a facilitator of
village financial planning development. The E-VB operational zone only exists in the
administrative area of Banyuwangi district, if it is accessed outside Banyuwangi area then
it will need to apply the connection or its VPN in transportation agency where the user is
located.
In its implementation process, it is not easy to put an innovation of technology
that used to do manual way then change it into an internet system. That is why several
stagesneed to be done in order to make it suitable enough with the need of e-VB
implementation. The needed preparation is the readiness human resource of village staff
to change the old way into a new way. Besides that, it also needs the application readiness
to support e-VB implementation. Some effort that needed to be done to support human
resource readiness will begin with socialization process, training for village governance
about planning, administration, and village finance report by using e-VB application.
While preparation of application starts with the making of application will be paid
through special funding payment by Banyuwangi district APBD in 2014, around
40.000.000. in the other side, it needs to pay attention to a laptop, computer, electrical
connection, and internet as supporting tools of this innovative program.

An e-VBapplication that has open sourcesystem is opening the possibility to be
replicate or imitate by another district. However, since e-VB is already patented becomes
belonging to Banyuwangi district governance then anyone who willing to apply this
system in another area will need to make MoUbetween district head. There are already a
lot of district governance that comes to Banyuwangi to learn or sharing knowledge about
financial management through e-VB, those governance region are Situbondo, Madiun,
Pacitan, Trenggalek, Bangkalan, Ponorogo, Lamongan (east java), Pati (central of java),
Cirebon, Pangadaran, Bappemas, Bappeda of west java province, STPDN Padang lecturer
and many more (e-VB application mechanism document, 2016: 6).
Village Finance
In 2015, village fund that sourced from APBN of 2015 budget year around Rp.
59.888.614.000,- (fifty-nine billion eight hundred eighty-eight million six hundred
fourteen thousand rupiahs) for around 189 villages in the whole banyuwangi district
(banyuwangi village governance data DPMPD, 2015). Village fund that achieved by the
village in the whole area of banyuwangi district drastically increased in 2016, around Rp.
134.467.216.000,- or 124,53 % (banyuwangi village governance data DPMPD, 2016).
Bigger village fund that achieved by the whole village in banyuwangi district showing the
increase of budget usage in the village. Automatically, this increased level needs more
accompany and guidance connected with the planning consultation up to the funding
expenditure to get the maximum result.
Increased rate of village fund in 2016 get along with the rise of real district
income of Banyuangi district. The increasing level is around Rp 462 Milyar in the first
trimester of 2016. That amount is increased about 18,45 % from the total of total district
income in 2016 around Rp. 2,5Trilyun.Realization of those income coming from various
fund sources such as district tax, retribution, district wealth management and other legal
PAD. Balance from central governance is also included. More fund that accepted by
Banyuwangi district governance means the rise of ADD that allocated to the village in the
area of the district.
Usage optimization is urgently needed along with budgeting distribution
including the whole fund that sends into village income and expenditure budget
arrangement. Village finance management started from planning, administration up to

reporting and responsibility become the important part that should be done. Moreover, it
also needs to be supported with transparency and accountability from budgeting
management to avoid any improper usage.
Village Head Role
Village governance is a vital actor in the e-VB implementation. It will act as the
village finance online system implementer. The village finance that previously used
manual system start to change into a technological system. It makes village government
especially village head is demanded to be able to adapt and learn new thing in the village
finance management system. Based on that, in December 2014, Banyuwangi district
governance ask whole village head, treasurer and village secretary to train in operating
the e-VB system for the first time in DPMD hall. This activity is one effort to increase the
human resource capability of village staff through conventional training.
District governance along with whole village head of Banyuwangi district agreed
to cooperate together in held e-VB training and companion for village staff especially
treasurer staff. Just like at the beginning of 2015, where the village financial process still
in planning stage. Training that held in intense period is a kind of companion dealing with
data entry ofR-APBDes, from DPMD and communication and information agency. In
this stage, the whole 189 villagesare already finished the R-APBD Des and APBD Des
arrangement of 2015 period through e-VB.
Next, in the middle of 2015, the process reaches the administration process where
most of this stage is the responsibility of village treasurer. However, village head still
holds an active role to monitor the treasurer performance. It is simply because village
head needs to agree on the payment request and dispositioned it to treasurer staff to do
payment for the expenditure of the fund, both for development or empowerment activity.
Village staff ability percentage reach around 25,92%or about 49 village that has capable
of accomplished data entry process starts from the middle up to the end of 2015.
The decreasing of village ability percentage in processing village finance in the
administration stage is the problem for village head, DPMD or related SKPD. It is simply
because e-VB is a new budgeting system for the village so there will be may village staff
that feels difficult to apply it. As an effort to overcome the problem, DPMD getting more
enthusiast to do training and guidance program especially for the village that is not being

able to finish up to the administration process. Not only that, DPMD is also coming up
with the idea of “DD/ ADD clinic“ to help a village in doing faster ADD and DD fund
gaining according to the applied legal law.
The service that provided by DPMD in ‘DD/ ADD clinic’, such as consultation,
faster process, facilitate, monitoring, reporting, and assistance. DD/ADD clinic is
commonly named as ‘ e-VB clinic’, it is because the whole ADD/DD fund gaining
process worked with the e-VB system. This clinic is located in the areaof DPMD
Banyuwangi district office.Serve schedule of ‘DD/ADD clinic’ in 2015 is every day with
working hours as follow:
- Working hour: starting from 07.00 – 21.00 WIB;
- Day off: starting from 10.00 – 13.00 WIB.
DPMD hard working in servicing village governance consultation including data entry of
e-VB up to reporting print out is success enough. The presence of DD/ADD clinic is
proven to be able to increase the significance of funding expense for the fund that sourced
from village fund or ADD. Based on e-VB clinic evaluation result, here is the percentage
of funding the expense of DD/ADD during 2015:
1. Disbursement of ADD fund in 2015 is around 100%;
2. Disbursement of DD fund in 2015: 99%.
The success of disbursement of the fund in 2015, makes village head become
more motivated to increase the village staff performance in managing village finance
through e-VB in the next year. One of village head strategy and DPMD is by
implementing refresh e-VB activity. refresh e-VB activity is held in turn in the village
and monitoring how far the village staff development with e-VB. It means that not an
only human resource that needs some refresh, e-VB as application system also needs to
be developed and renewing related to the needs. DPMD along with communication and
information agency create ‘technical control team’ to renewing the e-VB application
system. This working team is already legalized with the letterBanyuwangi DPMD district
head no: 188/27/424.021/2016 on 2 April 2016 about the creating of shaping a technical
controlling team of e-VB renewing application system. Based on that regulation, the main
job description of the team are as follow:

E-Vbhas several benefits for village head such asfirst of all,helping to create an
easier making of village financial document. The presence of an e-VBsystem for village
finance, providing many easiness for village governance especially village head and
treasurer. The report that should be worked for a month now can be done in faster period.
It is simply because the village financial document that created not need to be made
manually but automatically from the e-VB system. Financial document as output that
produced from e-VB can be downloaded if the planning of data entry and administration
of village financial management is already done. Financial document is as

second, producing more accountable village financial report to avoid corruption.
Financial management becomes more transparent and accountable through the e-VB
system. Third,increasing society trust toward village financial management. Society
becomes more critical toward the increasing of a fund that entering the village. E-VB is
also making possible for society to supervise the village financial budget.
E. Conclusion and Recommendation
Electronic Village Budgetingor e-VB is a kind of application system that includes
planning, administration, and reporting of village financial report based on a website that
integrated into one district. This program is functioned to increase transparency of
budgeting and monitoring of the village development in the whole banyuwangi district. It
is simply because e-VB is an internet-based application. That is why it is needed
stakeholder supervision to monitor the data input that is done by village staff. Through
this supervision, the development level and budgetabsorption level can be easily known
whetherit is a physical and nonphysical fund usage. In this case, village head has an
active role in cooperating with DPMD, communication and information agency and
bappeda to provide training and assistance for the village that still has a problem in

strategic space (KSP) by the government of South Sulawesi that aims to create a public
space which is called Center Point of Indonesia (CPI) area located in coastal area of
Makassar city. By utilizing the existing space on the coast, the government of South
Sulawesi conducts coastal reclamation activities. The government of South Sulawesi has
involved a second party in the implementation process located at Center Point of
Indonesia (CPI). The involvement of second party is PT. YasmnBumiAsri as developer.
The establishment of partnership pattern in the government of South Sulawesi with PT.
Yasmin BumiAsri is the reclamation in Center Point of Indonesia (CPI). PT. Yasmin
BumiAsri will work all reclamation process around 157.23 Hectares. The development of

INTRODUCTION
The birth of a reclamation policy aims to increase land coverage for an
appropriate activity in the area. For example, the utilization of reclamation land for
industrial use, container terminal, tourism and residential area. In addition, this
reclamation activity can also be utilized for the conservation of coastal areas. Coastal
reclamation activities have long developed in several countries around the world. It
because the need for land to meet the needs of the community and to increase the
development of a country increasingly minimal. Countries that have developed largescale coastal reclamation activities include: Japan, Korea, China, Dubai, Singapore, and
several other countries in the world. These countries develop reclamation activities and
maximization for business activities and national development so as to increase State
revenues which are then channeled to the welfare of the people but still paying good
attention to the condition of environment.
Reclamation is a subsystem of coastal system whereas in positive-law in Indonesia the
regulation on reclamation can be seen in Act No. 27 of 2007 on the Management
of Coastal Zone and Small Islands article 1 point 23 provides the definition that
reclamation is an activity undertaken by persons in order to increase the benefits of land
resources in terms of environmental and socioeconomic conditions by means of
landfilling and drainage. In article 34 explains that it can only be implemented if the
social and economic benefits are greater than social and economic costs. However, the
implementation of reclamation is also required to maintain and observe such matters as:
(a) the sustainability of life and livelihoods of the people, (b) a balance between the
utilization and coastal environment conservation, as well as the technical requirements for
taking, dredging and stockpiling.141
Makassar is a capital of South Sulawesi Province. It is a largest city in the eastern
part of Indonesia and second largest metropolitan area outside of Java, after Medan. It has
also been the capital of the State of East Indonesia. Currently, Makassar is in the giant
construction of a coastal reclamation area or more familiar with Center Point of
Indonesia (CPI). This area is located on the west side of Makassar city. In this area, there
are various facilities; i.e business centers, tourism, education, and residential. The object
of building in the area is already planned in a Master Plan. In the future, Center Point of
Indonesia (CPI) will represent Makassar city nationally and internationally.

In the process of development planning, an aspect of transparency should be built
based on the freedom to participate in formulating development policies at the local level.
Informal institutions and organizations can be given space in determining the direction of
development so that they feel and take responsibility for the success of development. In
general, explained that collaborative governance is a process which involves various
stakeholders who are bound to carry the interests of each agency in achieving common
goals (Cordery, 2004; Hartman et.al., 2002).142 The government not only controls the
internal capacity in implementing a policy and the implementation of program. The lack
of ability, resources and networks that support the implementation of a program or policy,
encourage the government to cooperate with various parties, both with the government
(public), private parties and communities and civil society so as to establish collaborative
cooperation in achieving the program or policy.
In the development of coastal reclamation as implemented by the local
government, the government of South Sulawesi in cooperation with PT. Yasmin
BumiAsrias developer related to the implementation of coastal reclamation in Makassar
is one of the packages in the mega project of Center Point of Indonesia (CPI). The
concept of Center Point of Indonesia(CPI) is a modern area city of “Citraland City of
Losari Makassar that is integrated with residential and commercial centers.”Center Point
of Indonesia (CPI) will be built on an area of 157 hectares. The government of South
Sulawesi is cooperating with the private sector, PT. Yasmin BumiAsri as a private
company winning the tender and CiputraGroup through PT.Ciputra Surya which is
believed to be the developer, hence will occur land division.
Although the interest things that make researchers interested in conducting
research related to this cooperation, based on the cooperation agreement, there are about
157.23 hectares of land to be reclaimed, about 50.6 hectares of land reclamation
submitted to the government of South Sulawesi. The land will be a public area for the
development of public facilities, such as mosques, State homes, Monasminiature, greenopen areas, and also government offices. The rest of land is given to the private sector in
managing the area to develop a new city called Citra Land City of Losari for residential
and commercial areas. Based on the division of land is beneficial to the private sector
because it is known to reclaim the Center Point of Indonesia (CPI) about 157.23 hectares,
the government only gets 50.6 hectares of compensation, while the developer will get
106.7 hectares, whereas the land is state-owned. Apart from the above problems as for
negative impact as well as the threats that arise due to coastal reclamation that impacted
on the environment of fishermen community is narrower fishing area and trapped. Before
the fishermen can find shells within two hours can get a big sack shells but now more
difficult because built the straight road from Losari to TanjungBayang, a long-established
and well-ordered coastal ecosystem can be destroyed or lost due to reclamation. The
result is the destruction of coastal and marine areas that will ultimately impact on the
economy of fisherman. The loss of marine life can make fish that used to have fewer food
sources so that the fish will migrate to other areas or towards the deeper sea, this will
certainly affect the income of local fishermen.

In the construction of Center Point of Indonesia (CPI) is based on the national
spatial plan as the Government Regulation No. 26 of 2008. One of them is Mamminasata
area (Makassar, Maros, Sungguminasa, and Takalar). This national strategic area in
Makassar was established on Presidential Decree No. 55 of 2011 on Urban Spatial Plan
of Makassar.
In the implementation of reclamation by the government of South Sulawesi
involves the second party that is on development in the Center Point of Indonesia (CPI).
The involvement of second party is PT YasmnBumiAsri as referred to in the cooperation
agreement of reclamation activities in Makassar city.
The pattern of partnership as established in the government of South Sulawesi
together with PT. Yasmin BumiAsri is in the reclamation of development site Center
Point of Indonesia (CPI). The development of Center Point of Indonesia(CPI) is based on
the national spatial plan based on Government Regulation No. 26 of 2008. One of them is
Mamminasata (Makassar, Maros, Sungguminsa, and Takalar). National Strategic Area in
Makassar was established on Presidential Decree No. 55 of 2011 on Urban Spatial Plan
of Makassar. One form of urban planning in the area with a relatively limited land is
reclamation as contained in Minister Regulation of Domestic Affairs No.1 of 2008 on
urban area planning guidelines.
Coastal reclamation is a costal activity undertaken by people in order to increase
the benefits of land resources from an environmental and socioeconomic point of view by
means of confinement and drainage. In reclamation refers to several legislation including
Presidential Regulation No. 122 of 2012 on reclamation in coastal areas and small
islands, as Minister Regulation of Maritime and Fisheries Affairs No.17 of 2013 on
reclamation licensing in coastal areas and small islands and Minister Regulation of Public
Works No. 40 of 2007 on spatial planning guidelines for coastal reclamation area.
Based on this matter, in 2009 the government of South Sulawesi initiates the
development of Center Point of Indonesia (CPI) with a reclaimed location on the west
area of Makassar. The location of Center Point of Indonesia (CPI) project is located on
Metro Tanjung Bunga whose project work began in 2009 to date, precisely located on the
developing land of Losari Beach of Makassar and before the Center Point of Indonesia
(CPI) project started before 2009 the land area of 157.23 Ha is called Center Point of
Indonesia (CPI) has been submitted from the government of Makassar to the government
of South Sulawesi Province through the Decree of the Mayor of Makassar stating that the
Center Point of Indonesia (CPI) area has an area of 157.23 hectares.

The construction of Center Point of Indonesia (CPI) area started with the
preparation of permits, feasibility studies and environmental impact analysis in 2010. The
construction process was started by the government of South Sulawesi Provincial in 2011
by building linkage-bridges from Metro Tanjung Bunga as well as road to developing
land in front of Losaribeach. In 2012 continues with the construction of embankments.
In 2013, through direct appointment PT. Yasmin BumiAsriis believed by the government
of South Sulawesi Provincial to carry out reclamation work on the construction of Center
Point of Indonesia (CPI) area of 157.23 hectares. Based on the cooperation agreement
between the government of South Sulawesi Provincial and PT. Yasmin BumiAsri, about
50.47 Hectares of reclaimed land will be submitted to the government of South Sulawesi
Provincial of the total development of Center Point of Indonesia (CPI) area.
The constructions activities of Center Point of Indonesia (CPI) have had
environmental impact analysis documents compiled in 2010 initiated by the government
of South Sulawesi Provincial and have received approval from Technical Commission
Team of AMDAL BLHD of Makassar. Based on the Government Regulation No. 27 of

with PT. Yasmin BumiAsri in coastal reclamation policy in Makassar City
The implementation of coastal reclamation in Makassar is an activity that is
conducted in a planned, comprehensive and involving various aspects that must be done
in an integrated and well-planned. In the activities of coastal reclamation are influenced
by various factors both in support and inhibit the process. The factors that influence the
cooperation of the government and Private in the reclamation policy in Makassar as
follows:
1. Government policy
279

Demanding Governance Accountability and Promoting Democratic Leadership for Public Welfare
Achievement
Endah Vestikowati1,Agus Nurulsyam2,Irfan Nursetiawan3 : Identification of Potential Object of Natural
Tourism Based on Local Advance in Ciamis Regency
ISBN : 978-602-6309-44-2
The implementation of reclamation policy has been regulated and there are also
rules which are used in the implementation of the policy, especially the coastal
reclamation, namely the construction of Center Point of Indonesia (CPI) area where the
government along with the developers to share in the implementation of coastal
reclamation policy in Makassar but on the basis of made agreements (MOUs) that have
been agreed upon.
2. Funding and equipment
The funding and equipment required from the government of South Sulawesi is also a
supporting factor of cooperation between the governments of South Sulawesi with PT.
Yasmin BumiAsri for the implementation of coastal reclamation. The Center Point of
Indonesia (CPI) project is a policy of the government of South Sulawesi which is funded
by the cost sharing system of the regional budget of South Sulawesi.
But with the limited cost so that the government of South Sulawesi is not able to
fulfill part of the implementation of the reclamation activities, the government of South
Sulawesi took the private company, PT. Yasmin BumiAsri as the developer. PT. Yasmin
BumiAsri is obliged to hoard and establish reclamation field. From the condition of the
reclamation is big enough then from funding sources involving PT. Yasmin BumiAsri in
the form of cooperation must indeed partner and utilize other sources for the development
of the Center Point of Indonesia(CPI) area. To the extent that public and private roles can
be synergized, society is not harmed, and public functions are not lost.
Inhibiting factors the cooperation between the governments of South Sulawesi
with PT. Yasmin BumiAsri in coastal reclamation policy in Makassar.
In the cooperation by the government of South Sulawesi with PT. Yasmin BumiAsri,
there are obstacles in the implementation of cooperation as follows:
1. Land acquisition
Land acquisition in Makassar especially at the reclamation location is a constraint felt by
both parties (the government of South Sulawesi and PT. Yasmin BumiAsri). To solve this
problem takes a long time. The problem is the implementation of infrastructure projects
that are still waiting for the process or certainty of the land to be used.
As interview with Mr. AbdGaffarPallu said:
“All the land used by the government along with the developers becomes a problem
because many elements claiming that the area owned by them, but the government has
been eligible and we (the government of South Sulawesi Province) has won it. It becomes
a problem to the implementation of this cooperation (interview on 14 February 2017)”.
As mentioned above in the submitting of land acquisition, there are still some parties who
claim the land in the reclamation site is owned by the parties who want to seek profit.
2. Permit of Reclamation Implementation by the Central Government

The absence of a reply letter from the ministry and fishery and marine affairs is related to
the implementation of reclamation which is one of the requirements of reclamation
implementation. Letter of permission from the ministry of marine and fisheries affairs is
one of the procedures in the implementation of reclamation permit. The necessity of the
letter considering the location of the Center Point of Indonesia (CPI) is a National
Strategic Area (KSN – Kawasan Strategi Nasional) in MAMMINASATA (Makassar,
Maros, Sungguminasa, Takalar) area.
CONCLUSION
Based on the results and analysis of research, then we obtain conclusions and suggestions
as follows:
1. The implementation of coastal reclamation in Makassar is initiated by the
government of South Sulawesi Province in realizing the utilization of space on
the coastal area in Makassar city which is a strategic area of the province by
establishing the Center Point of Indonesia (CPI). To realize the Center Point of
Indonesia (CPI) area as well as efforts made by the government by utilizing the
existing space in coastal areas in Makassar is conducting coastal reclamation
activity. The purpose of implementing the Center Point of Indonesia (CPI) area is
to create South Sulawesi as a public area and improve the economic and social
qualities of Makassar city. However, in its implementation the government of
South Sulawesi Provincial requires funding and equipment as well as things that
support in the implementation of reclamation, therefore the role of private parties
is very important to overcome the limitations in the implementation of the
program. The role of private sector is facilitated by government through Public
Private Partnership (PPP). The private sector in the implementation of coastal
reclamation is PT. Yasmin BumiAsri. In the implementation of coastal
reclamation together with the government of South Sulawesi and private sector
i.e PT. Yasmin BumiAsri related to the cooperation agreement No:
515/II/PEMPROV/2015 and No: 255/YBA/III/2015. For reclamation activity has
the legal basis of reclamation planning and development of the Center Point of
Indonesia (CPI) contained in Presidential Regulation No. 122 of 2012 on
reclamation in coastal areas and small islands, article 3. Minister Regulation of
Domestic Affairs No. 1 of 2008 on Urban Area Planning Guidelines, articles
24,25,26 and 27. Presidential Regulation No. 55 of 2011 on RTR Mamminasata
Urban Areas 2011. The letter from Regional Environment Agency of South
Sulawesi No. 660/5155/I/BLHD, related Environmental Impact Analysis of the
Center Point of Indonesia (CPI). The first point of this letter, it is explained that
the document of Environment Impact Analysis of the Center Point of Indonesia
(CPI) has been approved by EIA Commission of Makassar according to the
decision of the Head of Regional Environment Agency of Makassar No.
660.2/546/BLHD/V/2010. As well as the third point stating that the approved
EIA, through the decision of Head of Regional Environment Agency of Makassar
No. 660.2/546/BLHDV/2010 dated 24 May 2010 stated still valid. For the
determination of location permit and reclamation implementation have been
issued by the government of South Sulawesi Province No: 664/6273/TARKIM.

With various legal basis, among others, Act No. 26/2007 article 10 on Spatial
Arrangements and Regulation of South Sulawesi Provincial No. 9 of 2009 on
Spatial Planning of South Sulawesi Province. The letter also stated clearly that
the Governor gave permit for the reclamation to PT. Yasmin BumiAsri 157.23
Ha in the Center Point of Indonesia (CPI) area.
2. Factors affecting the cooperation of the government of South Sulawesi Provincial
together with PT. Yasmin BumiAsri in the implementation of reclamation
include supporting and inhibiting factors. Supporting factors include government
policy, funding and equipment. While, inhibiting factorsincludes land acquisition
and permitting of reclamation implementation by the central government, namely
the ministry of marine and fisheries affairs.
Suggestions
1. Local government needs to find a good reclamation model that is beneficial to the
general public, give attention to every need of the community and prioritizing
every need. The government should also adhere to every rule in every policy that
will be made so that in every implementation of the policy does not arise
problems, besides the need for transparency related to the implementation of the
policies undertaken with the parties who will be involved, it is necessary for the
government because it concerns the interests of people. The communities need to
know it so that feel that they can also involve in every decision related to the
reclamation. It can also overcome inequalities and negative things such as
corruption, collusion and nepotism can occur.
2. Both the local government and the community and private parties are advised to
cooperate in the implementation of development in Makassar by increasing the
supporting factors and minimizing the inhibiting factors in development in
Makassar city.

Based on the table, the number of poor people in Ciamis regency in 2015-2016
decreased, from 104.87 thousand people to 98.77 thousand people. Nevertheless, poverty
alleviation should still be a top priority for the local government of Ciamis Regency, since
there are still 98.77 thousand people who are still classified as pre-prosperous and must be
transformed into prosperous society.
One of poverty alleviations can be done with the natural resources without ignoring
local wisdom to be a new economic resource and create a more prosperous society, and can
be used as a source of local revenue for local government. This is in line with Law No. 23 of
2014 on Regional Government, Article 36 paragraph (1) is expressed as a parameter of
economic potential: (a) economic growth; and (b) regional superior potential

that utilize the potential of Natural Resources, both in a natural state and after there is a
cultivation effort. Nature tourism can also be said as recreational and tourism activities that
utilize the potential of nature to enjoy the natural beauty of either natural or made by humans.
Nature tourism can be used as a life-balancing medium after a variety of activities, because by
doing nature tourism allows us to obtain physical and spiritual pleasure
Opportunities in the tourism sector can be seen from the number of tourist arrivals in
the area. Because basically the development of tourism sector can not be separated from
tourists, both local tourists and foreign tourists have contributed in the development of a
tourist attraction. Tourists are a source of income for the tourism sector and an increase in the
number of visits will have an impact on increasing economic activity in the area.
Ciamis Regency has some excellent tourist attractions, such as Astana Gede Kawali,
Nature Tourism Curug Tujuh, Kuta Village, Susuru Mountain Site, Lengkong Panjalu Lake,
Jambansari Site, Pangcalikan Mount Padang Site, Keramat Kuning Lakbok Site, and
Karangkamulyan Site, nature managed by private parties. But tourism activities must be in
harmony with environmental management principles. Tourism ecology and tourism
development in an area is needed planning, as well as adhering to the carrying capacity of the
environment. In addition, local wisdom that becomes uniqueness in one region can create
harmony between man and nature. The preservation of nature can be influenced by the rules
contained in the local community, for example the existence of a sacred forest that should not
be exploited to make the natural wealth in the region is still awake.

1. Theoritical review
2.1 Tourism Concept
The potential and diversity of Natural Resources provides opportunities in creating
and developing tourism at the local level. The development of tourism is inseparable from the
carrying capacity of the environment and the topography of a region. In addition,
demographic or population distribution can also be a determinant in the existence of the
tourism industry. According to Soemarwoto, Otto (2004: 309) states that "Tourism is an
industry whose survival is determined by good or bad environment." Good environmental
conditions, then the tourism industry will develop well as well.
According to Murphy (in Pitana, I. Gde and Gayatri, Putu, G, 2005: 45) states that Tourism is
the whole of the related elements (tourists, tourist destinations, travel, industry, and others.
Based on that, then every tourist destinations always experience renewal and addition
of new products in accordance with the needs of the tourists. According to Priyanto and
Safitri, Dyah (2015: 76) states, that Tourism is a whole series of activities related to the
movement of humans who travel or stopover from his residence.
Based on this tourism activities are also the same as the pilgrimage activities.
Because tourism seems to be associated with a religious pilgrimage commonly done by
traditional society. Environmental support can also be a motivation for tourists to come to the
sights, if the environment is good and it allows the tourism industry to survive in the era of
global challenges.

This is in line with Leiper's opinion (in Pitana, I.G and Diarta, I.K.S, 2009: 63), there
are 7 (seven) major sectors in the tourism industry, including: (a) the marketing sector; (b) the
transportation sector; (c) accommodation sector; (d) the attractiveness sector; (e) tour operator
sector; (f) the support sector; and (g) the coordinating sector. Tourism or tourism activities
should be in harmony with the conservation of nature and the environment. According to
Barus, Sekar I.P, et al (2015: 143) states that "Tourism is an activity that directly touches and
involves the community so as to bring various impacts on the local community.”
The harmony is intended for economic growth and public welfare as the impact of
tourism activities does not cause social problems and environmental pollution. Therefore, it is
in line with Law Number 10 of 2009 on Tourism, it is mentioned that tourism is organized
with the principle of: (a) upholding religious norms and cultural values; (b) uphold human
rights, cultural diversity and local wisdom; (c) provide benefits to the welfare of the people,
justice, equality and proportionality; (d) preserving nature and the environment; (e)
empowering local communities; (f) ensuring integration between sectors, among regions; (g)
obeying the code of ethics of world tourism; and (h) upholding the unity of the Unitary State
of the Republic of Indonesia.
2.2 The concept of Nature Tour
Nature tourism is also closely related to conservation activities of Natural Resources.
So there are some zoning (grouping of territory) for natural attractions. It is intended to
protect biodiversity and maximum utilization of tourism objects and be implemented in
several National Parks. According Arief, Arifin (2001: 74) states, that: "Zone of the Park area
is divided into: (1) Traditional utilization zone; and (2) Zone rehabilitation. "
1.3 Concept of Local Wisdom
Local wisdom as the guidance of life and science as well as various life strategies
tangible activities undertaken by local communities in answering various problems in the
fulfillment of their needs. According to Permana (2010: 20) states, that local Wisdom is a
creative response to geographic-political, historical, and situational situations that are local.
Local wisdom can not be separated from the culture of a very diverse society, from
the customs to the civilization that is physical. Such diversity will form a plural society.
According to Pelly (Herimanto and Winarno, 2014: 100) states, that horizontally people are
grouped or classified by: (a) Ethnic and racial or genetic origin; (b) regional languages; (c)
Custom or behavior; (d) Religion; and (e) Clothing, food, and other material cultures.
Local wisdom can be a capital in the development of a tourist village in an area.
Because local culture is a strategic asset in rural development efforts. Physical and nonphysical civilization in a village must be optimized by the local village government in order
to be a driver of development, especially in the tourism sector.
The development of tourist village as one of tourism business strategy has become a
solution in improving the prosperity of pre-prosperous society. The tourist village has
transformed into a major sector for local government. In tourism activities, tourist villages
have a special attraction for tourists. With the natural wealth still preserved, the tourist village
still preserves the customs. In addition, the culture that is born from the interaction of the

local community becomes the added value of the uniqueness and cultural distinctiveness of
the area.
The tourist village with its local wisdom can be the choice of tourists in enjoying the
rural atmosphere and learning the culture of the local community. Priyanto and Safitri, Dyah
(2015) stated that tourism village is defined as a form of integration between attractions,
accommodation, and supporting facilities presented in a community life structure that
integrates with the prevailing traditions. Determination must meet the requirements, among
others:
a. Accessibility is good, making it easy for tourists to visit by using various types of
transportation.
b. Have interesting objects in the form of nature, cultural arts, legends, local food, and so to
be developed as a tourist attraction.
c. The community and village officials receive and provide high support for the tourist
villages as well as the tourists who come to their villages.
d. Security in the village is assured.
e.Availability of adequate accommodation (lines of liaison), telecommunications, and labor.
f. It is either cold or cold.
The uniqueness of local culture as a local wisdom that must be preserved to make the
tourist village as a miniature of cultural diversity that has the value of tourism potential. The
cultural pluralism of the community in the tourist village can be explored as another potential
in the village development effort to be more advanced and has a pluralist characteristic.
The strategy of developing a local wisdom-based tourist village refers to the physical
and non-physical potential of each village to be developed, this is related to the uniqueness of
each village in selling its potential to be used as a base capital as a tourist village.
Development of local wisdom-based tourist village is an activity that is not easy to do if it is
not supported by all components of the community in the village. As an example is the
potential of existing local wisdom such as rice harvesting activities that begin using certain
ceremonies, rituals asking for rain and so on.
It will not be a potential local wisdom if it is only done incidentally by the individual
landowners. The potential that should appear on the surface as a cultural activity is not visible
because it is not done communally and only private, but if the ceremony is carried out
communally and packaged, scheduled by all owners of rice fields or certain communities it
will become an interesting tourist attraction.
According to Manteiro, Maria C.B (2016) stated that the development strategy of
local wisdom-based tourism village needs to pay attention to the following matters: (a)
marketing of tourist village packages showing the selling value of the village; (b) the
management of a sustainable tourist village and the preservation of the tourist village itself;
(c) the empowerment of the village community itself as part of the tourism village's potential;
(d) unusual tourist village packaging so as not to give a general impression to visitors; (e)
avoid any conflicts of interest among the tourist villages; and (f) can improve the economy of
rural communities used as tourist villages.

Village sustainability remains a priority in the development of tourism sector based
on local wisdom. The village government has contributed to village development based on
local wisdom and utilization of available resources. In addition the village government should
be able to maintain harmony between villages and between communities that are pluralist
(diverse), and support the existence of tourist village as one of the economic support for the
village community.

implementation of regional autonomy so that the quality of life in the area increas or
the same as other areas. Developing human resources in remote areas one of the
obstacles is the culture of the local community, economic model, educational capital
and local legal or political system. Through this research we were able to develop
human resources in the region Apparatus outermost and remote. This research was
done using a survey method and model development. The expected result is a

The World Bank considers Indonesia as a country in Asia that has
successfully transformed the situation from highly centralized to highly
decentralized country. In fact, the most decentralized (from the most centralized
country to the most decentralized country) by handing over authority to the local
majority, the provincial and district / city.Undang-udang 1945 put in the position
of regional autonomy must (a must system) with respect uniqueness of each
region in the archipelago. According to the founders of the nation, the founding
fathers of our heterogeneity as a keniscayaan. This area where development is at
the heart of national development. The theory reads that national development
will not succeed without good regional development. Regional progress is highly
determined the quality of human resources, in addition to the wealth of natural
resources. The quality of human resources is needed to face global competition
and catch up with other regions. High-low quality of human resources can be
seen from the quality of education, health, and the economy of society.
The strategic measures to encourage the success of development is creating
a system of good governance (good governance), which is needed ethics
bureaucracy and high working culture followed by an increase in knowledge and
understanding of government actors on-grammatical principles of good
governance. The 2004-2009 National Development Plan (RPJM) and the
National Strategy (Stranas) of PDT, specify 199 districts as underdeveloped areas
(including 26 districts on the border), whose locations are spread over eastern
Indonesia (KTI) of 123 districts (62% ), Sumatera 58 sub-provinces (29%), and
Java and Bali 18 Sub-Provinces (9%). Disadvantaged areas are districts where
communities and their districts are underdeveloped, for reasons of: 1) low
potential and management of natural resources; 2) limited access to growth; 3)
low socio-economic infrastructure; 4) the population is scattered and isolated.
Presidential Regulation No. 90/2006 on the second amendment of
Presidential Regulation No. 9/2005. The development program of disadvantaged
regions, focused on social, cultural, economic, regional finance, accessibility, and
infrastructure availability aspects. The main problems of disadvantaged areas are
1) The quality of human resources is relatively low; 2) Lack of facilities and
infrastructure (Infrastructure); 3) Limited access to the economy, information and
technology; 4) Disruption of security and disaster; and 5) Is a border area and
isolated.
Departing from that the development of human resources in Papua
Province is still considered to be less of a problem in the areas that are in the
outermost and outermost areas, this is reflected more compotitive overall
competition from the aspects of life experienced by society and government in
developing potential of each region. Disparities can be felt in Papua and the
central mountains of Papua especially after specific things have to be done by the
region but human resources are not available so it is very difficult to do. Human

resource development is a process undertaken to develop the knowledge, skills
and abilities of workers, as well as the competencies developed through training
and development, organizational learning, leadership management, and
knowledge management for improved performance.
It is very interesting to areas that are deemed to be minimal human
resources, especially in remote areas and the outermost in reforming management
of human resources as a strategic areas of the organization and should be seen as
an extension and development of how traditional management to manage human
effectively and moderen.
There are at least two theoretical perspectives selected as the 'state of the
art' in the implementation of this hotel.First activities there sat u main theories
resource human management, and the second there are four theorys of the
development model that is cultural, educational capital, economic system and
political / legal system as supporting theory. The method according to Andrew E.
Sikula development (1981) in Mangkunagara (2003: 60) is the most commonly
used Some of the methods include management development "training methods,
untherstudies, job rotation and planned progression, coaching-counseling, junior
boards of executives or multiple management , committee assignments, staff
meetings and projects, bussines games, sensitivity training, and other
development methods ".
B.
Writing method
The method used in this paper is to use the survey method and the study
of literature as well rely on deepening the orginal reference and analysis of the
potential of thinking is based on long-term projections in model development.
C.
Theory
The study of the theory became a reference in analyzing the issues raised
among them are:
1. Human Resource.
According to Chris Rowley and Keith Jackson (2012: 88), the development
of human resources is a process undertaken to develop the knowledge, skills and
abilities of workers, as well as the competencies developed through training and
development, organizational learning, leadership management , and knowledge
management for the benefit of performance improvement. While Sedarmayanti
(2007: 61) says that Human Resource Development needs to recognize the
necessary skills, audit the available skills, take action to adapt skills to current
and future business needs and create a process of improving the learning of
organizations and individuals associated with business needs. Furthermore

Sedarmayanti (2007: 60) says that the strategy of human resources through the
development of human resources in achieving a competitive advantage in
innovation, quality, cost leadership and by hiring employees who are better than
that employed a competitor to develop the capability of strategic and support as
well as facilities to improve skills , the development of learner organizations
using focused training that has been designed to improve work productivity so as
to produce measurable improvements in cost-effectiveness.

Overall Decree of the Minister of Administrative Reform is trying to break
through the other side of the service in order to accelerate the realization of
public service excellence by improving the quality of the government apparatus
performance through implementation of transparency and accountability in
public service.
2. Culture Society
According to Richard, (2010: 98) that culture is just a habit in a place or the
usual way in a place so rarely managers think about it impact on an organization.
But when managers are concerned with culture because its role is very important
in the success of an organization. Furthermore Richard (2010), defines culture as
a set of values, beliefs, understandings, and core norms held by members of the
organization. The principles, traditions and ways of working that are shared by
the members of the organization and affect the way they act (Robbins & Coulter,
2010; 63).
Organizational culture is believed to be one of the key factors deciding (key
variable factors) the success of organizational performance (Kotter and Heskett,
1992). Organizational culture is defined as a pattern of basic assumptions found,
created or developed by a particular group with the intention that the
organization learns to overcome or overcome the problems arising from external
adaptations and internal integration that has been running well enough, so it
needs to be taught to new members as the right way to understand, think, and feel
with regard to the problems (Schein, 2004).

3. Economic System
The role of human resources in an environment of economic globalization,
especially the implementation of the Asean-China Free Trade Agreement
(ACFTA) which comprehensively implemented in 2010, and currently Indonesia
has to include some ASEAN economic community. Economic globalization
later became very populer.Hampir issue every opportunity, whether in seminars,
conferences, mass news media never misses discuss this one word, namely
globalization ekonomi. Issue about economic globalization was still at the macro
level, the understanding of the public in knowing the impact in general which
appears to daily life or against the new trend.
Entering the era of economic globalization one effort to maintain
sustainable economic growth rate will be heavier. Due to the challenges facing
the wider and more complex, among them are: First, the problem of high cost
economy and the still low quality of human capital in various sectors contribute
in enlarging the challenges that must be faced. Secondly, the comprehensive
implementation of ACFTA in 2010 has had an impact with the opening of
employment in technical services, enabling job seekers from ASEAN member
countries in the field of expertise to freely compete for the best opportunity.
Hence, the industry can choose the best of their will. However, labor
apportunities applies only to workers who meet the proficiency standard
(competency standard).
The view of development that eliminates the distinction between economic
development and social development such as that proposed by the UN Secretary
General U Thant that "Development is growth plus change; change in turn is
social and cultural as well as quantitative ". This view is also applied to the
development of education in harmony with economic factors, social, and politik.
Those planners tend to give lower ratings to the achievement of social justice
rather than to the achievement of economic growth, or the spread of attitudes in
line with the efficient production. That efficiency of social science view stresses
that modernization is not just mean the presence of factories, but the presence of
an mental attitude suitable for running these factories. The development process
is what that occur in mental attitude (state of mind); specifically an assessment
with high against a rational consideration in deed and in the organization to work
together efficiently.
Human resources that have been prepared are always left behind by
technological advances.This condition is always a challenge and gap in the
development of human resources and technology mastery. The above challenges
can actually be solved through systematic efforts oriented to quality
management, technology mastery.Enhancement of the ability to innovate and

affiliated. In this way, it is also an opportunity to overcome the human resource
gap to become an economic power and strength to compete.
According to data from Susenas in September 2012, the number of poor
people in Indonesia reached 28,594,000 people indicates that in this country there
are still many people who are poor, when viewed between the province then
Papua with the population is not so much compared with other provinces, the
population the poor reached 976,000 people with a population of 2,833,381
people this means almost 50% of the population of Papua is poor. For Papua
poverty severity index classified the most highest compared to other provinces in
Indonesia which is 2.44 percent. Of these poverty factors indicate that human
resources are still low because poverty is synonymous with underdevelopment.
While the Human Development index data nationally in 2011 was the lowest
Papua province from across propins i there is 65.36 percent.
4. Capital of Education
Education is a process of transferring knowledge or development of the
potentials of the subjects of students to achieve optimal development and human
civilization through the process of transformation of the main values, or can also
be interpreted as a process of personal development in all its aspects to realize
the human virtuous. According Siagian (2008: 3) believes that various
institutions, although they have no resources and wealth in the form of money,
but if they have human resources who are educated, skilled, disciplined, diligent,
willing to work hard, have a work culture, very big for private institutions and
open wide to develop. Education is a learning process that produces experience
provides personal wellbeing, both physically and mentally.
Nowadays, humans factors in the process of economic development has
more being realized. Developments in the countries are building shows that the
physical capital of an any kind favored by economists is only meant for a small
portion than growth ekonomi. This factor greatly impede the pace of
development is a human being as the subject and the construction company itself
. Increasing the degree of education of the population is an important effort in
the development of human resources.
5. Political / Legal System
In a relatively short period of time, Indonesia is undergoing a massive
decentralization. On the one hand there is a decentralization of power from the
hands of the presidential institution to the higher institutions of other countries,
especially the House of Representatives having a relatively large power to
control the policy-making process. On the other hand, decentralization of
political and administrative authority from center to region. The effect is quite

significant to the political actors such as local government, local political, nongovernmental organizations and the local elite. According to Henk S Nordhot,
(2014: 6) says that Indonesia is now placed in the broader context of the currents
of international capital, but the strength and the relative autonomy of the State
who are not bi s a neglected, in the absence of a powerful indigenous
bourgeoisie. Furthermore Robison (1986) in Henk S Nordhot (2014; 6) states
that the new capitalism that had its origins from within the bureaucracy, which is
funded by oil revenues and international aid, while a capitalist class that is small
and dependent operating abroad it gives birth the concept of authoritarianbureaucratic capitalism, in which the State has a strong position.
According to Henk S, (2014; 112) that politics and politicians are
sometimes replaced with a more friendly terms in the form of politicians, which
has long been a category that is dirty. The word politics, for example, is used to
describe the strategies that people do in order to pursue their own interests.
However, most local communities are not knowledgeable enough, uninvolved,
sometimes even ignorant and therefore more passive, easier to develop cynical
attitudes, and sometimes even believe that politics is something that s a bi not
applied for them.
C. Discussion
The discussion in this paper are centered on:
1. Resource Development Government Personnel
Human Resources Development is a process of increasing knowledge, skills,
and capacities of all residents of a community (MM Papayungan, 1995: 109).
Meanwhile Payaman J. Simanjuntak argues that: "Human Resources contain two
meanings: First, Human Resources contain the understanding of work effort or
service that can be given by someone in a certain time to produce goods and
services. While the second definition of Human Resources are concerned human
beings capable of working to provide the services or work effort (Payaman J.
Simanjuntak, 1985: 1). Furthermore Sedarmayanti (2007: 61) says that the
development of human resources need to identify the necessary skills, audit skills
available, take action to adapt the skills with the needs of business today and the
future and creating a process of improving the learning of organizations and
individuals t erkait with needs. Sedarmayanti (2007: 61) says that the
development of human resources need to identify the necessary skills, audit skills
available, take action to adapt the skills with the needs of the present and future as
well as creating a process of increasing learning organizations and individuals
related to the needs of the community .
Today so is complex problems that occur in society that government
organizations become the foundation of society in overcoming the problems
which occurred mainly in areas classified as 3 T (Frontier, Outermost and
Remote) that they really need attention and handling the maximum to avoid
cracking and disintegration of the nation . T main objective organization of local

government in this case to provide maximum service to the community for
regional development is needed either in the form of knowledge, skills and
attitudes, so that people are better prepared for the construction carried out, but
more importantly bagimana Apparatus local governments prepare Its resources to
provide better service, because when Apparatus Resources which has the ability to
manage the region, especially in the era of autonomy will provide prosperity for
its people, but today many constraints faced by the region, especially Resources
qualified human expertise.
Human Resources become very important for all organizations today.
According Sianipar that along with the introduction of regional autonomy, the
level of service at the local level would actually be felt by the community in
improving the quality of public services. This means that the Apparatus
Resources is part of the whole public service system element that is so vast and
complex, because the tug a s and function of apparatuses that are so important and
strategic. Today, the function of apparatuses become more complex, not just a
function of setting, managing, and controlling it, but more oriented to the function
of empowerment (empowering), opportunity (enabling), openness (democratic)
and partnerships (PPP) in decision-making, making and implementing policies in
public service efforts.
To form a figure apparatuses, especially in the area of Remote like the one in
the central highlands of Papua where the geographical conditions are very extreme
and underdeveloped society does take time and a long process and the efforts
should not be stopped. Personnel management needs to be addressed, ie starting
by doing the correct recruitment pattern in accordance with the rules and based on
competence. Similarly in the development of employees, Job Performance
Appraisal (PPK), career patterns, payroll, promotion, dismissal and so on. All
changes that need to be done with commitment and consistency are high.
Immediate changes can be made is the improvement of skills or competencies
through education and training (diklat) and non diklat.Perubahan through training
and training can be done by conducting various courses, formal or non formal
education or other education related to upgrades or technical competence as well
as a change of mindset, moral, and behavioral apparatuses. Although changing
the mindset, morals and behavior through training apparatuses is not easy, but it
still needs to be done. While the enhancement of ability or competence through
non-training can be done by creating situations and working conditions conducive
to the occurrence of capacity improvement, periodic mutations, creating
harmonious personal relationships and so forth.

Political System / Law

Apparatus Resources Development in areas including 3 T (Frontier,
Outermost and Remote), so is complex and diverse in the face. leaders rarely
think about the impact on an organization. But if the leadership approach pera n
culture because culture is very important in the success of an organization, and
how-c makatradisi fig worked adopted leh o Apparatus local governments can
affect the way they act or work. Organizational culture is believed to be one of
the key factors deciding (key variable factors) the success of organizational
performance (Kotter and Heskett, 1992). An organizational culture that exists
today in government organizations as a pattern of basic assumptions were
discovered, invented or developed with the intention that the organization learns
to overcome or cope with her problems arising from external adaptation and
internal integration that has been running pretty well, so need to be taught to new
members as a right way to understand, think, and feel with regard to these issues.
On the other hand the economic system becomes attractive models made in an
approach adopted in remote areas. Really be felt as a servant of the State who
spread were playing with the duties and responsibilities in the outermost and
isolated (3T). With such conditions, economic problems, high cost and low
quality of human capital in various sectors contribute to enlarge the challenges
faced by the Apparatus. The low income and welfare APPARATUS. The reward
system is still not running as a reward system, because of the salary scale
determined by low-hight rank equally. Though the rank is not always related to
competence, task, responsibility, work culture, location or workplace area.
Therefore the local economic system approach undertaken in developing
apparatuses in remote areas in order to be more competitive it is necessary to
differences payroll or reward is given.
Capital Educational institutions despite not having the resources and wealth in
the form of money, but if it has a human resource educated, skilled, disciplined,
diligent, willing to work hard, have a work culture, faithful grabbed a huge
advancement for institutional and private open with a width to grow. It seems that
the area contained in the region is still very low. Since understanding is in
addition to the distance and the general conditions in the face by the Apparatus.
Apparatus figure that there has not been in accordance with competence in their
field. Not proper Apparatus in their potition priority placement (orientation)
requirements the administrative rank and DUK, when the rank is not always in
line with this ability. That give an influence also only due to the procurement /
recruitment that does not comply with to realize the vision and mission of the
organization, then the model educational approach which is owned by the
apparatus becomes very important to note dalan support organizational goals. The
areas classified as 3T drafting career path taken should be considered in give
identification with difficulties encountered. these phenomena, coupled with the
provision of "regional autonomy" have encouraged local governments to

APPARATUS there are the likelihood that co-opted by the power-of politik in the
area. Then a danya confusion between political office and career positions,
confusion tersebuttentunya will create government instability, so the career
Apparatus is not solely determined by the merit system but political also more
dominant. The conditions of their make unclear career planning and security of
tenure .The result Apparatus seek and to approach politistersebut officials. It
certainly will bring conditions that are not conducive to create professionalism of
employees. Whereas civilcerfant use system of merit-based system, but in reality
has become spoiled system.
All that becomes relatively large absolute power to control the policy-making
process. On the other hand, decentralization of political and administrative
authority from center to region. The effect is quite significant to the political
actors such as local government, local political, non-governmental organizations
and the local elite.
Conclusion
Model Apparatus human resource development in the region outermost and
isolated. Become An alternative model offered by the government in managing
the human resources Apparatus in government institutions from the cultural
aspects of society, economic system, political system and education capital / legal.
This development model is built in order to create good governance and
true in the implementation of regional autonomy so that the quality of life in the
area increased or the same as other areas. Developing human resources in remote
areas one of the obstacles is local community culture, economic model,
educational capital and local legal or political system
Create a good governance (good governance), the necessary political
ethics bureaucracy and high working culture followed by an increase in
knowledge and understanding of government actors towards principles of
governence.
With the right system of regional autonomy, provincial and district / city

Abstract
The new culture of urban society has produced a distinctive social phenomenon. Related with
their fantasies of the lust satisfaction. Free sex and prostitution that flourish in the middle of
an industrial city is a phenomenon of today's urbanites. This study attempts to describe the
relationship between industrialization and urbanization with the urban sex expression of
industrial cities in the context of social life governance by local governments. The writing
focuses on the urban sex expression in industrial cities and local government policy in
addressing it. The context of local governance in this paper analyzed by using a critical
paradigm through the sociological approach of government. The focus of this research is in
Karawang regency as one of the largest industrial city in Asia. The results show that urban
sex expression tends to escape from the corridors of social and religious norms embodied in
various forms. The sexuality of urban society has been dictated by the industry volition. The
urban sex expression of free sex and cyber sex is not driven by his desire, but by a production
process that is subject to the economic mechanism of capitalism. There is supply and demand
causing virtual sex, online prostitution, spa spots, pubs, clubs, discos, hotels as well as
karaoke places to grow and thrive in Karawang regency filled with urbanites. Local
governments have not been serious and tend to be out of date in terms of the arrangement of
negative urban sex expression.

governance by local governments. The writing focuses on the urban sex expression in
industrial cities and local government policy in addressing it. The context of local governance
in this paper analyzed by using a critical paradigm.
Urbanization must be seen as a very complex phenomenon, not just seen as the
movement of people from village to city. As one of the areas that became the center of
industry in Indonesia, the opening of employment in Karawang Regency has attracted many
people to come to Pangkal Perjuangan City with various purposes, starting from finding a job
to open a business in this city. Many interesting issues to reviewed, including one of which is
about the relationship between industrialization, urbanization and the affairs of the bed (sex
appetite).
Change, displacement, modernization and urbanization have shifted the way of
thinking and the way people live. Sociological, anthropological, psychological and
postmodern studies become interesting again to be an analytical perspective on the
complexity of urban problems, especially industrial areas such as Karawang Regency. Free
sex and urbanization become inseparable and so identical. The proliferation of karaoke and
massage parlors mostly as a the practice of prostitution case grows a lot in industrial areas. At
least the phenomenon that writers observe in Karawang, which is now known today as the
industrial city.
Karawang as one of the capital buffer is listed as one of the largest industrial city in
Asia. The largest industrial city in Indonesia, even in Southeast Asia with a land area of
13.718 hectares (equivalent to 7.85 percent of the total area of Karawang regency)1. The
official site of Karawang2 regency government records that the total number of industries per
year in 2011 (consisting of large and small industries) amounts to 9,764 units. The next year
increased to 9,920 units. In the year 2012, the next consecutive increase to 9,963 units (in
2013), 10,026 units (Year 2014) and 10244 units (in 2015) with a total investment value
reached 25.453 trillion rupiah. Every day, 205.759 people went to work in factories spread in
25 industrial areas in Karawang regency.
Babies are born and people come to Karawang every year. The average rate of
increase is 1.76 percent (2011 to 2015). Or in other words, Karawang arrival 35 thousand to
40 thousand new people every year. Head of Population and Civil Registry Karawang said 3,
the flow of urbanization in Karawang is unstoppable. On average each year, Karawang arrival
of 1,000 newcomers from outside Karawang. In 2014, 13 thousand migrants move to
Karawang. In the next year, in 2015 Karawang has 17,262 arrivals arriving. This illustrates
that the outflow of population from outside to Karawang regency so very large and of course
it also became the trigger of many problems in Karawang regency, especially social problems
in the community Karawang regency.
The substantial employment opportunities faced by the explosion of immense
population growth due to immigrants, has made many social problems that must be faced by
the Karawang regency government. This paper will focus on the social problems of urban sex
expression problem in Karawang regency and how the local government of Karawang
regency to address the issue. The author's observation of the phenomenon of sex (prostitution
practices and the like) found in many areas in Karawang regency, has encouraged the authors

to observe the relationship between the phenomenon of industrialization and urbanization in
Karawang regency with the urban sex expression are working in Karawang.
1. Research Method
This research uses qualitative approach with research design using case study.
Through a qualitative approach, this research attempts to analyze and describe urban life
especially in terms of their sexual expression. In addition, the critical paradigm used in this
research will be directed to try to dismantle the hiding dominance behind the relationships of
the three actors in local governance ie the government, the owners of capital (industry) and
the urban community (urban workers). In this aspect, research attempt to know the
government's attitude toward the phenomena that the authors scrutinize.
Critical paradigma will use as a point of view or research position in looking at the
phenomenon research. While the approach is scientifically, the writer approached the
relationship of the three actors in the problem under research using the sociological approach
of government. Through this critical pradigma and sociological approach of government, it is
expected to analyze and describe the relationship between the government and who is
governed (public and private). The behavior and relationship between the three actors in the
regulation of public life is a study of the sociology of government.
Data collection was done through documentation study, interview and participant
observation in the field. In the early part of the study, researchers used literature studies to
obtain information on the relationship between industrialization and urban sex expression
researched by previous researchers. This becomes a background in approaching the issues
that the author interested with.
1. Result and Discuss
Ludwig Feuerbach, a young Karl Marx college student philosopher who took
Friedrich Hegel's course, said that God is the source of human alienation. Feuerbach's opinion
was later denied by Marx who said, humans alienated from himself. Therefore, man is
alienated from his work. Suseno (2016) explains, Feuerbach initially assumed that God was
created from the human imagination. Man who is estranged from himself (in a state of
hunger, helplessness and deprivation) makes a full human projection in his head. A perfectly
plenary human being is full of paras, attitudes, properties, possessions, popularity. This
projection is then enlarged along with the alienation of the human creator. The bigger, so
large that it eats the existentialism of the human creator. This projection (by Feurbach) is
named the god (religion).
Meanwhile, Karl Marx, anti-test what Feuerbach proposed. According to Marx, the
source of human alienation lies in his work. Not on human imagination. Supposedly, says
Marx, the process of human production is said to succeed if it can produce a product that
projects itself. The production process is done based on the will of the human individual, not
the willingness of others who are bound in the contract of work. Those who work in factories
are isolated people because they do not make the production process according to their will,
only based on economic needs. This alienation is named alienation. Workers are alienated
from their own work (Suseno, 2016).
So it is with "Fatigue". A term that is also a congenital disease of industrialization in
the era of capitalism. Division of Labor, Adam Smith's proposal for efficiency and

productivity in industrial management, has made people working in industry for decades
doing the same thing. There is flatness and psychological fatigue in workers. Furthermore the
strict discipline of working hours has made the fatigue even more intense. Fatigue in the face
of just the same work, the pressure of work, the alienation of workers from the goods they
produce, many workers can not afford to buy the products they produce, the accumulation of
capital profits from the company also only flows to the owners of capital, all these things
have made urban workers experiencing various pressures.
In such conditions, entertainment is a means of eliminating fatigue born from daily
work. A self-healed working class society and its status as an urban, will escape to an
unfortunate entertainment venue still within the power of capitalism. Strinati (2016), said the
media (television, film, architecture, advertising, pop music) helped shape urban culture.
Postmodernism and popular culture were born out of a working-class consumerism. The more
the working class is saturated with its work then experiencing alienation, the more often they
become perpetrators of consumerism. Consuming popular culture products is a sedative for
workers. A popular culture that is widely condemned superficially and not philosophically by
many social thinkers is a natural thing, because it wants to be enjoyed without the thought of
the urban people who are already tired with various routines of work and job pressure.
This consumptive urban behavior is in line with Leslie's research (2002), based on the
industry's realities in Thailand at the end of the 20th century. Thailand is advancing due to
increased commodification and commercialization, increasing amounts of foreign investment
in tourism and industry. But on the other hand, Thailand is scattered. Consumerism pitted
religion and politics in Thailand. It decreased agricultural production and shifted state policy
to industry export-based (which also thrived there), urban expansion, and urban emerging.
Leslie concludes, consumerism in Thailand is a major cause of corruption, prostitution, drug
trafficking and environmental degradation. Consumerism in Thailand became the main
caused of women farmers (women in the village, in his paper, Leslie using the term Thai
Peasant Women) flocked to the city only to work as prostitutes. They have two goals: first,
help the family finances. Second: using the body to earn money in order to meet the desires of
their consumerism.
From the literature review above, the authors take the view that urbanization is not
only a phenomenon of population movement, but also has shifted many things, which then
make urbanization a complex phenomenon. Urbanization in Thailand opens up many jobs,
abandoning traditional jobs, and for capitalism that is the spirit that shapes settlements and
urbanites, all things can become commodities, as long as money is generated, although it
sometimes collides with moral and ethical principles. The case study of the emergence of
prostitution in urban settlement in Thailand famous for its Buddhist religion has become one
of the proofs that capitalism, modernization, industrialization and urbanization is one of the
most intact historical narratives that change many views and ways of life, what is or may not,
what appropriate or not, and various other views about sex.
Modernity with urbanization has made human beings rational, no longer afraid of the
religious threat that sexual activity outside of marriage will cause sin and will be punished by
God. Rationality makes sex activities drive away flatness from the world of profession and
recreation to eliminate fatigue, it also encourages the number of commercial sex workers

emerging, because of the emergence and high demand for sex service orders, economic law is
running here.
A conference called Jornadas: Against Women's Exploitation in Catalunia, in
northern Spain, agrees that the main cause of high and growing prostitution and trafficking of
women is due to the high demand for prostitution by men. The outcome of this conference is
also in line with the United Nations (United Nations) report (Freire, 2009). It should also be
remembered that sex and intimacy are services that can be bought and sold like any other
service. Bernstein (2007), calls this the term bounded authenticity, or "restricted authenticity".
Or it may mean a temporary or a paid relationship.
Nkala (2014), concluded that high unemployment rates forced many young women to
do sexual work. In fact, the closure of Bulawayo industrial zone, Zimbabwe, forced young
women to use various means to earn an income. Including double job: as a formal employee,
as well as prostitute.
The existence of demand and supply in this discussion also agreed by Urban
Sociologist from University of Indonesia, Hadi4. He said, the proliferation of sex service
providers due to two factors. First, the high demand from the urban. Second, from the
permissiveness of the urban community. The same treatment can also be given for boarding
or rent or an apartment that offers "freedom" to a "cohabiting" couple.
What can we explain about urban permissive behavior toward the proliferation of sex
providers? One of the arguments that can answer this question is the uprooting of the urban
from the religious roots and customs that are very firm and hard in terms of sexual activity
outside of marriage, especially with sex service providers. What keeps the urban uprooted
from religious roots and customs like in the countryside?
First, modernization does encourage secularization, marginalize religion, because the
modernization of its spirit is rationality. We have to look at history and remember that
capitalism is what gave birth to modernization, industrialization and urbanization. Capitalism
ultimately shifts the urban way of life and outlook that is no longer bound to the religiosity
and customs that are so firm in the affairs of extramarital sexual relations, including using the
services of sex service providers. The high poverty in Karawang coupled with the uprooting
of urban people from religious roots and customs has made the effort to earn money by
providing sexual services is not too much of a problem anymore.
Second, in the life of the urban, individualism arises because of busyness and routine
that has been time-consuming, and put religion in the private-sphere. We see, in the villages
we still see mutual cooperation to maintain the security of the village with environmental
security system, while in urban settlements, what happens is looking for employees or
security guards to maintain security. Individualism makes religion into private space. This
makes no social safety net created by religion, such as ethics and morals together that refer to
religious orders and restrictions in urban settlements.
Third, the urban emerging because of the industrialization has another negative aspect
with the existence of structural problems, it is much studied by the thinkers of marxist and
neo-Marxism. Urban people also generate poverty, high social inequalities and aspects that
are most detrimental to poor and uneducated women, eventually becoming commodities to

sell sex services. These three things make the writer want to argue why the urban
permissiveness of sexual service providers in urban settlements. It also reaffirms the author's
basic argument, that the phenomenon of urbanization has shifted many of the views of human
life, especially the issue of sex.
In line with the statement of economic law where there is demand then there is
certainly a supply, these immigrants also took the field of production of local residents. The
hundreds of thousands of working class also invite other migrants (who do not have enough
competence to be accepted in industry) to try their fortune in Karawang. Head of Department
of Manpower and Transmigration Karawang5 said, unemployment in Karawang per year 2016
reached 114 thousand people. A huge number for an industrial city. These factors led to
prostitution and free sex spots in Karawang. The demand of the urban working class, which is
due to wander, regardless of the moral control of the family and the moral values of his
hometown, is also a fundamental need to fulfill his sexual desire because there is no outlet
(far from the couple); coupled with the increasingly narrowing of employment so that both
local and urban people (without competence) will be greeted by the demand for prostitution
and the availability of nasty points.
Qayyum, et al (2013) in a journal taking a case study in Punjab, Pakistan, says the same. The
economic crisis, poverty, and debt are the biggest reasons someone engages in prostitution.
Although, this reason only becomes a trigger. Hubbard (2011) says, the city (where the urban
live) is a sexual site where sexuality is easily accessible. However, the governor, the police,
the court, the legislature, also limit the visibility of this sexual site. Phil sorted and divide
urban prostitution into four by market type. This calcification is also the author used to map
prostitution in Karawang regency that the author thoroughly.
First, street sex workers. Sex worker with the characteristics of hung on the roadside. Clearly
accessible and public. Servicing in vehicles, public places, and lodging. Geographically, they
are widespread in crowded spots even though legally what they do is illegal. In Karawang,
they can be found in GOR Panatayudha, SMAN 4 Karawang area (special gay prostitution),
and around Johar market.
Second, brothels and or spa / massage places that serve sex services. At brothels, sex
workers can almost serve all the customer's sexual demands. Whereas in the spa / massage,
sexual services are usually limited to oral sex or sex tackle (Phil calls this the term sex on
premise). From the results of the tracking, where the spa and massage D'Crown Karawang on
Jalan Ahmad Yani, Karawang, had been involved in the business of prostitution6.
Karawang regency HIV / AIDS Commission (KPA) staff7 stated, Karawang has 25
location point of prostitution. Meanwhile, Yayasan Kita Kita or Yakiki 8 claimed that
prostitution in Karawang amounted to 53 dots. Of course, this point of prostitution is
traceable (because it is a public secret), some are not traced because it is only limited
consumption. One of the most famous prostitution places in Karawang is Se'er. Located on
Jalan Niaga Karawang, next to Karawang Train Station. The rows of semi-permanent
brothels. In every home, two or three women offered her. The other point is Kober, aka
Kobak Biru. Located in Tegal Danas Village, Telukjambe Barat District, Karawang. Along
the path of Pantura, which connects Karawang with Subang, also mushroom a semipermanent brothel. However, unlike Se'er and Kober, sexual service vendors are not
coordinated with each other.

Meanwhile, homestay prostitution flourishes in downtown Karawang. A board near
the rice shop, Pasar Johar; and in the region of Guro I to Guro II the Gor Panatayudha region
is the most famous point for the practice of prostitution. Not only prostitution, it is also the
safest place to keep the mistress.
Third, adult entertainment (sexually oriented business). The urbanites are no stranger
to discos, or dugem, offering bare dance services. This type of prostitution usually offers a
striptease service. Since it is registered and legally registered, this type of entertainment can
be overtly running its business. Of course with curfew limitation. Hubbard (2011) says, adult
entertainment such as strip dance usually does not offer sex services. And, if two types of
urban prostitution had previously engaged in clandestine sex services, naked dance services
usually took shelter in legal places (of course with some provisions, such as not being naked
and no physical contact). In Karawang, the author has not found this type of prostitution
point. However, adult entertainment is scattered at many points in this city. The visitors are
identical with the urban youngsters, and the 35 year olds.
Fourth, prostitution is disguised as a place of night entertainment. If the third number
of prostitution services operates openly because of holding a legal business license, the fourth
prostitution goes stealthily behind the glitter of nightspots.
The nightclub business is a bar, restaurant, karaoke and billiards. Of course, they also
sell liquor and services of female track-guides. All the urban people are equally understand,
the guides of this song can be invited one night stand aka sleeping friends, provided the
appropriate fees.
From the author's search results, there are at least six nightspots with the type of
karaoke and bar in Karawang. Dewi Air Restaurant & Karawang Karaoke which is located on
International Road of West Karawang, Sukamakmur Village, Telukjambe Timur; Blue Sky
Resto & Karaoke at Jalan Raya Galuh Mas, East Karawang; Inul Vizta Branch 2 at Festive
Walk Mall, Galuh Mas Street, East Karawang; Inul Vizta Branch 1 in Supermall Karawang,
Bypass Ahmad Yani Street, Karawang; Diva Karaoke at Ramayana Karawang Mall, Bypass
Ahmad Yani Street, Karawang; and Aneka Baru Resto on Tuparev Street, West Karawang.
Sure, there are many other nightspots that stand in the villages on the edge of downtown
Karawang.
In addition, like the habits of the urban who have a long time on Saturday night, at
certain times there is a live DJ in Karawang. DJs’ live are usually held at restaurants along the
West Karawang International Street, and the lobby of star hotels in Karawang. They are
drunk, swaying, party, which sometimes ends up in bed in a one night stand relationship.
Head of Other Taxes in Regional Income Institution Karawang9 said per year 2016,
Karawang Government received Rp 72 billion from entertainment tax. The details, from the
tax sector, the government received Rp 13.66 billion. From the restaurant sector, Rp 50.76
billion. And from the entertainment tax of Rp 7.58 billion. Of the total Rp 7.58 billion,
karaoke taxes accounted for Rp 1.286 billion; and the massage or reflection parlor taxes
contributed Rp 173.59 million.

Indeed, the release of urban sexual desire Falkirk can not be simplified in just four
points above. Through the internet, pornography and prostitution have also grown rapidly and
rapidly. According to statistics from media technology company TechMedia Network, 12
percent of all websites around the world are pornographic sites. And every month, 72 million
internet users visit these sites. If there is one place where sex service providers and sex
service buyers are protected safely without fear of arrest, then the place is called the internet.
The authors can compare with the prostitution practice that is still conventional. For
example, every beginning of Ramadan, Civil Service Police Unit and related parties diligently
raided the place of prostitution in Karawang. Night entertainment was given an appeal to
open at seven o'clock and close before 12 o'clock. One of the places where prostitution is
diligently subject to raids is Se'er. Not only raided, where prostitution is often dismantled.
Se'er had been unloaded in 201610, 201511, and in 201412. However, as did not deterrent, Se'er
and other prostitution place to grow back and even greater.
Through technological sophistication, sexual peddlers also have the safest place when
their hanging places are flattened by heavy equipment. They can peddle on the internet.
Online prostitution in Karawang is not new. Prostitution patrons and prostitutes can search
each other on social media. The holder creates an account, the customer performs an account
search using related keywords. However, social media accounts are often fake. Precisely,
online prostitution spreads and deeply rooted via a forum-shaped website. In addition to more
secure because the site address can not be found through the Google search engine, the
website is not vulnerable to fake accounts.
Forums on websites are impossible to infiltrate a fake account. Therefore, there is a
system that regulates the level of customer satisfaction and customer trust. The account of a
prostitute can get a star (or cendol in terms of Kaskus forum) when he gives satisfaction and
accuracy of service in accordance with what he put on the website. Customers will not visit
the account that gets a few stars.
The Semprot.com13 is one of the largest free sex and prostitution sites in Indonesia.
There are 102 posts that appear when the author searches based on the keyword "Karawang".
Not to mention social media like Beetalk, Sayhi, Snapchat, Skout, Bigo, Badoo and Tinder
that allow people to fulfill their sexual fantasies and passions do not need to go outdoors, they
can access them easily and various fulfillment services are available.
We attempts how the ease of technology is exploited by sex service providers to
make it easier for people who need information to order sexual services. The development of
communication technology that really exploded after the technological revolution, really has
made things more complex. Modernization that has deprived people of their roots such as the
pattern of life, tradition, and urban religiosity when they are still in the village, making sex
among the urban is no longer a matter of reproduction with marriage bonds, but also about
recreation.
In the phenomenon of information technology based sexual services emerged
cybersex study. The virtual world or cyberspace today is a new world, human beings in
addition to bearing members of a country called citizen, also bearing members of the virtual
world called netizen. These services strolled because the rules in social media and cyberspace
can not follow the rapid development of teknlogi. Then how the government of Karawang

regency to address various issues related to urban sex expression? The various modes and
practices that emerge as the urban sex expression require the handling of the government as
the territorial authority.
Actually, there is no uniqueness of prostitution phenomenon in Karawang. Unlike
Doli in Surabaya or elsewhere who have their own peculiarities. Vice Regent Karawang
Jimmy Akhmad Zamakhsyari, in an interview session on Tuesday (February 20, 2018 at 10
am in the official house of Sekda Karawang) said, the prostitution in Karawang caused by the
government failed to provide prosperity to the community. In fact, the government's duty is to
take care of the welfare of society, not dwell on the affairs of immoral (prevent and restrict
prostitution). The task of preventing and restricting prostitution is the domain of the clergy.
Jimmy said, if the Karawang government can give prosperity, then the phenomenon of
prostitution never existed. Or at least can be reduced.
In terms of legal umbrella, Jimmy acknowledged that the government already has the
rules set forth in Perda K314 (Order, Cleanliness and Beauty) number 6 year 2011. For
example, set forth in Article 10 paragraph (1), the government has the right to discipline
entertainment or disturbing activities public order and tranquility. Through this article, the
government can close or restrict nightclubs and spas. In article 15, the issue of prostitution
control is further elaborated: the government (entitled) to control the prostitutes who roam the
city parks, public facilities, social facilities, hotels and other lodging services. On the other
hand, the Provincial Health and Safety Law also gives the right to prostitutes for education,
training and skills courses.
In article 18, local governments have the right to take precautions against the
development of immorality through the control of the circulation of pornography and porno
action, as well as other places of entertainment. The government, in article 42, also prohibits
all forms of prostitution. The government also imposes sanctions for offenders. In the same
law, a fine of Rp 5 million is given to those who commit immorality and other exploitation.
Meanwhile, for those who withdraw profits from immorality are subject to sanctions of Rp 50
million.
However, Jimmy admitted, the legal umbrella was ineffective. The phenomenon of
prostitution has existed since ancient times until now. The government can not fight the
phenomenon. However, if the government can prosper society, the phenomenon will decrease
more. The government is not present to rehabilitate, but to provide space and opportunities for
prostitutes. Risma in Surabaya has been able to close Dolly. Although prostitution is not
entirely lost, what Risma does is concrete proof.
In addressing the issue of various practices of prostitution, Jimmy expressed the idea
that the Local Government open the door of aspiration once a month so that the proposals and
complaints can be accommodated. Prostitution begins with welfare, and the government must
present a solution, not to fight hard. Jimmy claims, the settlement of the phenomenon of
prostitution requires only Rp 10 billion from the total budget of Karawang Rp 4.2 trillion. Of
course, this settlement also requires the help of BLK (Training Center), banking, and private
(companies) to be asked for its CSR.

Jimmy analyzed, the number of prostitutes in Karawang no more than a thousand
people. The government is not to stop and close the place of prostitution, but to prepare a
solution in the form of a creative space for them to work. How to? According to Jimmy, first,
the prostitutes should be recorded first. Once recorded, the next process is the decomposition
of the problem: what is behind them doing the deed? Jimmy believes, 95% of prostitution
starts from financial and welfare issues. Then the remaining five percent are those who
prostitute themselves with vengeance or personal emotion.
After the issue, the populist economic program can be run by synergizing the Social
Service; Department of Industry and Commerce; and Cooperatives Department. These three
agencies must issue an integrated policy involving the private sector. The Social Service
handles psychological matters (Jimmy's term to refer to advocacy and mentoring), the
Cooperative Office takes care of their business, and the Department of Industry and Trade
connects two agencies to be synergistic. The policy model is entrepreneurship. In other areas,
Jimmy said, it never fails because there is no mindset of entrepreneurship for the prostitutes
and there is no policy escort to the threshold. People's economic program can run when there
is escort.
Entrepreneurship is the way out for them. Jimmy confessed, it is very difficult to
include the prostitutes into the thousands of industries in Karawang. One of the most difficult
constraints is due to the age factor. In the company, the requirement to enter as operator
maximum age of 23 years and negative stigma audience to the prostitutes so that no company
willing to accept them as employees.
From the results of the above studies the authors see the attitude of local governments
tend not to be serious and have been left behind by development era. First, the government
only responds to this problem with the old approach, as the author has explained. The
government already has the rules set forth in the regulation of K3 (Order, Hygiene, and
Beauty), this is only continuously repeated by the government to approach the problem of sex
service providers, while the changes are numerous. Sexual activity and networking is also
very advanced and advanced. This is shown one of them is by adapting the services of sex
services with the advancement of communication technology, there is even a phone service
and chat sex.
Second, the government is just like a firefighter, lacking adequate research to predict
the development of sex services, as well as a very complex urban phenomenon with negative
expressions of urbanity due to social fatigue. The policies made by the government are not
serious and without research to understand the problems in depth. Methods of punishment of
perpetrators are still the main method, while many other methods should be studied, including
predictive and preventive approaches. The government is still very post-pactum, after various
cases and public appearances such as the sale of minors for prostitution to online prostitution.
Third, the government is not serious and even very rarely involves many parties to
discuss to make room for many parties, including scholars with the concentration of their
respective studies to advise the government on what steps can be taken in seeking solutions to
urban problems and sexual activity which hit moral, ethical and religious rules as well as
customs. This is evidenced by the high number of HIV / AIDS developing, this issue is often
only a health issue. Urban and sexual activity outside of marriage must be seen in various

approaches, economic, social, cultural, to psychological. Today, the global capitalist life with
the commercialization of uncontrolled urban lifestyles as Haryatmoko (2010) said, "Society is
beginning to criticize the top-down political model of political communication, which is a
political problem defined and discussed only by the government. The government must be
cautious in identifying the urgent concerns of its citizens. So, the public space becomes
concrete, participation becomes apparent because public consultation process on government
policies is possible".
Nkala (2014) states, only the absurdity that states that prostitution can be destroyed.
The law or prohibition to criminalize prostitutes is an act of unconstitutionality and only
sweeps away a small proportion of the practice of prostitution. In line with this, the state
needs to be present to not only punish the practice of prostitution, but also to regulate the
practice of the oldest profession throughout the history of mankind. Of course, from the above
reality, local government needs to adjust to the times and technology.
From the description above we can also understand that urban sex expression is an
implication of the various pressures provided by the industrial world. It should be recognized
that capitalism has its own immune system that is capable of surviving. Through industrial
management, discipline and division of labor have made workers as alienated human beings.
However, this alienation does not necessarily cause the workers to stop working because the
owners of capital also provide incentive mechanisms incentive for the workers. Fantasy about
the fulfillment of every need also overshadow every worker including sex. This is the point
where the projection of the plane as man as mentioned by Feurbach becomes even greater.
The conditions of these urban workers, the structure of the opportunity for capitalism to
"exploit" them by exploiting those fantasies by providing various services for the satisfaction
of urban workers. The creation of technology is the way to pave the idea. Through this
technology, a variety of services are available and accessible to urbanites to meet their sexual
desires.
Fantasy meets the opportunity (which is essentially created by the capitalist system)
has made the workers willing to spend most of their money for their sex satisfaction and give
birth to addiction to do it continuously. This condition certainly benefits the owners of capital,
why? For owners of capital, such mechanisms have made them more profitable. On the other
hand, the urbaners are consciously or unconsciously willing to spend the money they earn
from their work without questioning the expenditures for their benefit or not, even the moral
and ethical considerations they often resort to in order to satisfy their sexual needs. The
fatigue of work has prompted them to rationalize their actions as a reasonable course of action
for them because they have gained various pressures in their work. The question of money
can be sought. Such consciousness is increasingly sanctioned by the capitalists in order to
maintain their existence by providing various means of support. In the writer's view, herein
lies the alienation of man as Marx says. Urban workers express their sex activities as
described above, essentially not driven by their own volition, but driven by capitalist
mechanisms through industrialization and modernization. The system of capitalism creates
and conditions the urban to continuously become dependent on the capitals through the
creation of a "consumerist society." If so, the relationship between urban (urban workers) and
the capitalist is still covered by domination and "exploitation". Then how to do with the
government?

As the results of the above research, the government is often absent in this issue. The
slow handling, not yet serious attempts made to the outdated ways of governing the
expression of urban sex is enough to illustrate that its relationship with the community (the
urban) has been ignored. In fact, government relations with capital owners are actually
"symbiotic mutualism" or mutual benefit. While the people, who are subjects to be served by
the government, do not get the services they are supposed to receive from the relationship
between the two (the government with the owners of capital). The way out of this problem, is
still only in the level of the idea and has not come into practice.
1. Conclusion
Urbanization should be interpreted as a complex phenomenon, not just the migration
of villagers to cities. Massive indutrialization with the opening of employment stimulates
people to come to karawang. With the logic of industrialization, disciplined working hours,
high employment demands, division of labor with specific division of labor that depress
humans psychologically, plus the uprooting of urban people from religious and cultural ties
make many negative expressions appear. One is sexual activity outside the corridors of social
and religious norms.
The expression of gray hair in the Industrial City (Kabupaten Karawang) is shown
through various forms, namely First, street sex workers; Second, brothels and or spa /
massage spots that serve sex services; Third, adult entertainment. Urban people are no
strangers to discotheque, or clubbing. Adult entertainment prostitution in Karawang
masquerades as a nightclub. Their business is bars, restaurants, and karaoke. In addition, like
the habits of the urban who have a long time on Saturday night, at certain times there is a live
DJ in Karawang. Live DJs are usually held at restaurants along the West Karawang
International Street, and the lobby of star hotels in Karawang. They are drunk, swaying, party,
sometimes ending up in bed in a one night stand; Fourth, urban sex expression is channeled
through the internet either treats the internat as a satisfying desire or sexual fantasies or as a
means of liaison between sex workers with potential customers.
From the results of research and discussion above the author views the attitude of
local governments tend not to be serious and strategy has been missed by development era
and technology. First, the government only responds to this problem with the old approach,
which still relies on the Regulation of K3 (Order, Hygiene, and Beauty). In the other hand, the
activity and the network of sex services have also been very sophisticated and advanced.
Secondly, the government is just like a firefighter, lacking adequate research to predict the
development of sex services, as well as a very complex urban phenomenon with negative
expressions of urbanity due to social fatigue. The policies made by the government are not
serious and without research to understand the problems in depth. Methods of punishment of
perpetrators are still the main method, while many other methods should be studied, including
predictive and preventive approaches. The government is still very post-pactum, after various
cases and public appearances such as the sale of minors for prostitution to online prostitution.
Third, the government tends to be not serious and even very rarely involve many parties to
discuss to make room for many parties.
Facts and data have shown how the government should quickly work to find solutions
to problems that researchers have raised. Governments should form an epistemic community
of diverse actors with a wide range of skills, to approach, research to find a holistic and

Abstract
In Indonesia, every Provincial, District or City has an advantage. Their government must
think strategically to increase the value of these advantages by relied on resources it has,
whether funding, infrastructures, technologies, or human resources. By Act No.23 of 2014,
The Central Government has mandated the important of intergovernmental networking.
Learned from Japan experience, district and city as local Government could done it through
financing the operational of their activities, and sharing of benefits of the intergovernmental
networking. In East Kalimantan Province, there was several projects that could be
cooperated by Local Government Samarinda and Kutai Kartanegara. Because they were
close each other, an airport became very likely as a shared project. As well as in District of
North Penajam Paser and Balikpapan City could be in bridge project. They were could take
experience from local government in Japan for intergovernmental networking whether
sharing burdens and sharing of benefit in their similarly projects.
Keywords: Intergovernmental Networking, sharing of burdens, sharing of benefits, japanese

INTRODUCTION
Determination of Act No. 22 of 1999 on local government reform era were revised in
Act No. 32 of 2004, and then revised into Act No 23 of 2014 shows that Indonesia has
entered a new phase towards decentralization and regional autonomy. In the process,
emerging dynamics in which each region competing to build the region. Coordination with
the provincial government is not running, as well as with neighboring regions. The resulting
dynamics of each regional sector ego is appears. Occupied local government development
projects of their respective regions. Areas that abundant natural resources easily perform
development activities, while the poorer regions natural resources hang their hopes on the

General Allocation Fund of the Central Government and multiply sources of revenue through
levies labeled taxes.
Some acknowledge that their local area has a limited capacity in many respects, these
conditions have an impact on development than even the achievement of the welfare society.
Under these conditions inevitably have to think strategic areas to enhance the value of
regional excellence by relying on its limited resources, both in terms of funding,
infrastructure, technology, and human resources. Not yet the internal problems of the region,
in the form of primordial compete instead worsen the conditions for regional development
because one region to other regions are not able to synergize positively in building mutual
advantage that can ultimately the welfare of society. The phenomenon can lead to the unity of
our region can be fragmented and leads to disintegration.(Thres Sanctyeka, 2009).
Concerns about weakening cohesiveness and territorial integrity as a result of the
emergence of sectoral ego of each region having the government create a balancing
mechanism or the distribution of negative impacts that do not result in counter-productive to
the ideals of autonomy. Growing awareness of the negative impact of this then responded by
the Government mandated regulation of inter-regional cooperation by Law No. 32 of 2004,
and three years later was born the rules below level Government Regulation No. 50 of 2007
about procedures of regional cooperation. In 2009, the minister of Home Affairs issued a
technical directive which is a deviation from the PP No. 50 of 2007, ie Minister of Home
Affair Regulation (Permendagri) No. 22 of 2009 on regional cooperation as well as the
technical guidelines by Permendagri No. 23/2009 on guidance and supervision of interregional cooperation. In addition, Law No. 23 of 2014 on Regional Government in lieu of
Law No. 32 of 2004 also regulates the cooperation area. All these regulations are intended as
a legal protection andas the basis of the government's motionin cooperation with other
regions.
Importance of Inter-regional Cooperation
Cooperation between regions is an ability of local governments to carry out
cooperation with other local governments as well as with other parties, in order to take
advantage of "comparative advantage / competitive advantage" possessed by each region,
thus forming a partnership and interdependence between regions that are positive and
mutually reinforcing (Yudhoyono, 2002). Act 23 of 2014 as previously described mandated
intergovernmental cooperation with the local government one another. In the terminology of
Law 23/2014, Regulation No. 50/2007, Permendagri 22/2009 uses the term of regional
cooperation is an agreement between the governor and the governor or governor with the
regent / mayor, or the regent / mayor with the regent / mayor to another, or governor, regent /
mayor with third parties, which is made in writing and creates rights and obligations.
Cooperation of course based on cooperation between the regions concerned.
With respect to regional autonomy, cooperation between government and private /
public, between the region, and between the district / city, district and rural / urban, more
important to launch a regional development efforts are based on local initiatives. Most local
governments in Indonesia has advantages and disadvantages. Since the passing of regional
autonomy era, the average head of the region want to make all the activities in their respective
regions. Because they want to get a share of any project as much as possible, even if the

project does not fit in their respective regions. For example, If the regency A receives project,
regency B neighboring also requested to get the project. Since there is no coordination
between regency A and B, the project functions as a pilot project is not utilized properly.
Finally, The same project will be implemented every district / city evenly, without
exchanging information about the project. It is totally inefficient. By mean regional
cooperation to mutually utilize resources that reside in their respective areas. cooperation is
crucial to improve the efficiency and transparency of management development in Indonesia.
Various kinds of cooperation needs to be established at all levels and should involve both
government actors, private, public and private for the changing patterns of development.
Sue Goss in Pratikno, Sukmajati, Mas'udi (2007) states that the management and
development of inter-regional cooperation could be a joint instrument for the region to
advance the implementation capacity of government. This is possible because it is through the
development of an intergovernmental network, each local government can do the following
things:
1. Identifying the problems together;
2. Facilitate the exchange of information between regions;
3. Being a medium of exchange of technology or resources that exist in each
region;
4. Increase capacity in the area of governance;
5. Making the strategy or joint programs between regions, and even do joint
policy making
Yudhoyono (2008), describes some of the benefits that can be gained from the cooperation
between the regions, namely:
1. Sharing of experiences, With the cooperation of each region will be able to share
the experience of each to be used by other regions. Thus, an area does not need to
experience a trouble / fault that has been experienced by other regions when
carrying out certain activities previously carried out by the regions concerned;
instead, learn from the experience of other regions, and it can immediately
develop at a later stage.
2. Sharing of benefits, With the cooperation potential in cultivating an equally owned
by the two / more areas, then mutual benefits obviously will be enjoyed by each
region in proportion.
3. Sharing of burdens. Analogous to the principle of sharing of benefits mentioned
above, operating expenses in a joint venture must also be shared by the respective
areas concerned proportionately.
In addition to the benefits, the cooperation area will benefit: 1. Naturally will be able
to form a greater force so that the strengths of each region can be synergized to face the threat
of environmental, social, economic, cultural and political, 2. Achieve better progress together.
This is due each region can be mutually transfer of resources in the form of funding, human
resources (intelligence, skill, information), and natural resources, 3. The regions have a better
bargaining position, compared to when they walk independently. So they had power within
fledging negotiating its interests either on higher government structures as well as to legal
entities from within and outside the country, 4.Able to minimize horizontal and conflict
conflicts caused by competition between regions that promote primordialism, 5. Synergize
and complement: the provision of shared public services, cross-marketing cooperation, and 6.
Can do resource efficiency by avoiding service duplication(Thres Sanctyeka, 2009).

Development of regional cooperation is critical to look at the many benefits of the
regional cooperation. Observing the importance of regional cooperation in governance and
management of the local resources in Indonesia should be encouraged to develop an efficient
pattern of cooperation, mutual benefit, and to optimize their functions.
Inter-regional cooperation experience in Japan
Japan among the countries that have implemented a pattern of cooperation in regional
development in the country. Implementation of co-operation has been started since the Meiji
Period in power. Kazuhisa (2000), in his paper describes the experience of cooperation
among regions in Japan. Some experience of inter-regional cooperation in Japan are described
briefly below.
1. Local Government and Cooperatives Cooperation Council: Administrative area
(including some districts / cities) have been conducted in Japan since the Meiji
period in the form of "cooperative government / local government". The members
are local governments concerned to undertake joint management if this is more
efficient than management by the respective governments. There is also
establishment of a Cooperation Council for joint management, improved
communication, or for the determination of the integrated regional planning.
2. Submission (trust) Duties: in addition, there is also the delivery of a neighboring
administrative tasks to the local governments. For example, local government of A
can assign a local school affairs of children living in the border area between area
A and area B to local government of B if this is more effective.
3. Provision Joint forces: in Japan, usually several local governments jointly signed
an agreement to provide fire extinguishing, natural disasters, or disease prevention
apparatus. If there is a major fire in the area A, the apparatus firefighters from area
B and C also trying to extinguish the fire in area A.
4. Utilization Shared Facilities: besides the local government facilities such as
buildings meeting can be used by residents of the area B and area C because the
Government A has made an agreement with B and C.
5. Joint Regional Development Agency: The agency was created by some
governments concerned to implement an integrated regional development
activities. Accountability of these activities submitted to the agency by the
respective governments.
6. Joint Regional Development Fund: The Government of Japan determines a region
that has the potential to develop independently as a potential region and set up a
fund to cooperative government (or some sort of combination of local government
institutions). Funds (amounting to 1 billion yen for the region) can be used in
accordance with the joint regional development planning that has been made. The
fund can rotate and the profits will be used for the joint tourism promotion, human
resource development activities, indigenous cultural preservation activities,
exchange activities between regions together and so on.
Examples of cooperation among local governments in Japan
On the desire or local government initiatives respectively in Japan, Kazuhisa (2000)
explained that almost all local governments tried various measures to raise their respective
areas. The local government who feel they have no more potential tried to see the
opportunities that exist outside the region and began to think the relationship and cooperation

between regions. Although their potential are enough, governments feel the need the new
input or mind through contact with the outside. This effort is in accordance with changes in
the socio-economic framework of current toward a society that is more concerned with
information and cooperation. The government did not have to create or perform its own again,
but make contact or cooperation more flexible and softer. Furthermore, Kazuhisa (2000)
provides an example of cooperation among local governments in Japan.
Example 1.
Preparation signs tourism promotion: Cooperative 6 provincial governments in Aomori put up
20 pieces of board together in 6 villages. Theywere formed in 1991 and take advantage of
joint regional development funds for the installation of the signs of the promotion.
Example 2.
Regulation of the shared areas of environmental beauty arrangement: 12 governments in Sub
Aso, Kumamoto Province, set together along with local regulations on beauty Environmental
Planning in 1994 to maintain and preserve the scenic beauty of the mountainous region of
Aso. The contents are; (1) The local people or tourists are prohibited from throwing garbage
in parks, roads, rivers, forests, and pages, (2) The owners of land or buildings shall seek to
avoid landfill and conserve the environment, and (3) Placement of the vending machine
beverage cans should automatically include with the trash. Indeed, no mention of sanctions
against offenders, but they can be announced through local government general news.
Example 3.
Exchange of information governments events: 4 villages in the district of East Uwa, Ehime
Province, proclaim this event together in the respective local government news distributed to
all residents of their villages. Previously, they were no good communication. After the
exchange of information of the event, the villagers A tries to follow the event villagers B and
starting to take notice of useful information from outside their village. Villagers received
many inputs to generate their villages by means the event. The exchange of information is
naturally generate cooperation 4 villages to make news each local government.
Example 4.
Construction along the building arts: Otawara City Government and West Nasuno Sub at
Tochigi Province jointly build Nasuno Arts Building in the border region between two
regions. Construction of cultural facilities were the first in Japan. Initially, the Mayor of
Otawara offer Head of Village of Nasuno West to build an art gallery together. The goal is to
save on the costs of construction and making facilities were much better than that built by the
administration itself. The neighboring Kuroiso City Government had already made similar
opera house at their own expense, but utilization is less. So by built together, the art building
utilization is expected to increase. However, the development process is often deadlocked.
Village West Nasuno indisposed because financial conditions are not supportive. Otawara
City Government finally offered to let bear while part of the construction cost should be
borne by West Nasuno to Otawara for ten years.

both regions carry out the exchange of children. Children are sent to the region Mogami
region of Central Okinawa in the fall and vice versa children sent to the region of Central
Okinawa Mogami region in winter. In addition, there is a party of the results of the original
commodity in Mogami region who sell commodities originating from the region of the
Middle Okinawa in October and a similar party in the Middle Okinawa selling commodity
also derived from Mogami region. This party received sufficient attention from the people of
both regions. According to a professor, a change of mind must be implemented with vastly
different cultural contacts to get new ideas necessary for the revival of the region.

The system shared providing emergency hospital practice. Usually, hospital or medical
practice in Japan is closed on Sundays and other holidays. One town and four villages in
Katsuragi, Nara Province, made cooperative emergency hospital practice for a holiday in
1978. With the establishment, residents can enjoy the practice of emergency on holiday.

Publishingjoint tabloid/news: 20 cities / villages in both provinces (Provincial Tochigi and
Gunma Province) forming Ryomo Cooperation Council. The Council publishes Tabloid
News (about 80 pages) and disseminate to all citizens who are in the 20 cities / villages and
the residents of Tokyo and surrounding. Although divided into two provinces, they have long
worked in the field of economics. Daily life and economic activities have been integrated
among them, but somewhat less information exchange territory. Cooperation Council Ryomo
then try publishing the tabloid. The cost is taken from advertising revenue and staffs seeking
client with its own ads. Intercommunication between regions could start from a variety of
occasions. The whole village called Yamada in Japan gathered in one place and organized a
"Summit Village Yamada". They started hanging out and made a deal just because the name
is equally Yamada. There is also a start cooperating on the basis of historical ties, cultural, or
national figures. Some of the experiences and examples of cooperation in Japan can we make
it anexample and best practice to carry out cooperation activities in Indonesia in general and
specifically in East Kalimantan without leaving the mandate of the law.
Potential Regional Intergovernmental Cooperation in East Kalimantan
It’s an interesting to see a various phenomenas of the development of several districts
/ cities in East Kalimantan. Regional development in East Kalimantan have almost similar to
the dynamics of regional development in other provinces in Indonesia. At the beginning of
regional autonomy and decentralization of regional sectoral ego phenomenon appears very
high in the construction area. Local governments are competing to build its own country, it
resulted in many construction projects are hang up, no benefit, and become a burden to the
region.
The case of airport development plan in Samarinda and Kutai regency could serve as
an example. Samarinda city as the capital of the province create an airport development plan
(currently in process). During this time, people who want to Samarinda flight path must pass
through Balikpapan (distance 3 hour drive). It’s very detrimental for a business and time
standpoint. Finally, the government of Samarinda initiative to make New Samarinda airport
construction project in Sei Siring. Meanwhile, Kutai regency (Samarinda neighboring regions

where just 1 hour drive) because it was capable of in terms of funding makes planning also
making the airport will be named Sultan Kutai Berjaya. Both projects have not shown
encouraging resultsuntil now.Samarinda difficulties in terms of financing, while the
government of Kutai Regency problems in land acquisition and permits.
Other problems also appeared to build a bridge that connects the city of Balikpapan
and North Penajam Paser Regency. There is a difference of perception both governments in
determining the location of the bridge construction. Government of North Penajam Paser
projecting bridge construction from Nipah-Nipah Penajam Beach to Melawai Beach of
Balikpapan. While the Province is projecting the construction of the bridge from Balang
Island to Balikpapan. In the construction, Government of East Kalimantan Provincial plans
will choose foreign soft loans to finance the project. It’s value is equivalent to 350 million US
dollars, or 3.2 trillion (Kaltim Post, 2010). In addition to the same project with the aim of
connecting North Penajam Paser with the City of Balikpapan, North Paser Penajam
government has cooperated with PT Haskon in financing and workmanship. Construction of
the bridge with the same goal could be part of one of them is not effective in its use. The
bridge users will definitely prefer a path that more closely if they want to head North Penajam
Paser or otherwise to Balikpapan. Not yet the problems that could arise in the workmanship
later (costs can swell). Until now (2018) the construction of the bridge has not been done.
Observing the issues, it helps if it’s done by means of inter-regional cooperation.
Similarly, in the construction of the bridge that connects the Penajam Paser Utara and Kota
Balikpapan. Both construction of airports and bridges, associated areas to be modeled after
the experience of cooperation among regions in Japan, by doing sharing of burdens
(operational costs borne jointly) and the sharing of benefits (profits taken together). Because
of the distance of Samarinda and Kutai regency is close, then the construction of airports can
be optimized in Samarinda City alone. Moreover, the construction of airports in Samarinda
already started the process (still remains uncertain because of cost issues), while in Kutai
regency has been no progress at all. Both areas under the coordination of the provincial
government, or all three of Samarinda City, Kutai Regency, East Kalimantan Province
Government can pursue inter-regional cooperation in financing the construction of the airport
operasionasinal and profits later can also be taken together. Even bridge development issues,
the East Kalimantan provincial government could coordinate and conduct inter-regional
cooperation with the government North Penajam Paser and Balikpapan City and the business
(investors) both siting and financing.
Apart form inter-regional cooperation in mentioned above, the province can also be a
form of regional cooperation between regions that are real and can be developed, among
others: the functional interrelationships with neighboring areas, management and natural
resources management (forest conservation, Watershed), a prospective economic potential,
cooperative business group collaboration facilities, commodities, assistance and donor
support.
Conclusion
The advantages of each region, Including a very much different from other regions, is
the potential for inter-regional cooperation are real and need to be considered. Each region
needs to strengthen local institutions respectively while still learning from the strengths of
people from other regions. The interests of regional cooperation is not only to prevent sectoral

development of the region. One thing that is hard to do by self, it's easier when done together.
Shortage areas that will be covered by other areas of excellence. In addition, the results of the
existing inter-regional cooperation will be enjoyed together anyway. To get to the process of
decentralization and regional autonomy, there is no choice but to expand cooperation between
regions.

Abstract
Environmental issues and ecological issues have become central in global politics and
discourse. Furthermore, environmental issues have been established as one of the most
important Global Constitutions in generating political networks on the implementation of
local governance. One of the problems in development is how to maintain balance, ethical
dimension and relationships, and create harmonious interaction with the environment
through spatial, clear, decisive and directed spatial arrangements, especially on water
resource management and conservation aspects. In Batu, environmental issues have
produced interaction patterns complicated and complex variations. The strategic value of
environmental issues has not been clearly visible in the policy-making process. Much of the
policy-making process of putting conservation and environmental management matters only
with documents and rhetoric rather than political action. Ecological issues are the
responsibility of the government's moral concern as a logical consequence of technological
change and a shift in meaning recognizing democracy and politics, and finding the
environment as an idea for its development. Therefore, politics should be used to overcome
the paradox in managing the environment to gain profit and minimize risk.
Keywords: Environmental Policy, Network Governance, Water Resources Management.
A. Background: Reflections on Water Resources Management in Batu
In realizing good governance in the implementation of government is an attempt to change
the government work, making the government accountable and to build actors outside the
State to play a role in making the new system in public service including the environment
management. Environmental issues in political ecology and sustainable development is the

exploitation and modernism (Proops, 1999). In the methodology, rules of the ecological
balance in politics and environmental politics is seen as an attempt to maintain the status quo
of the elite (Robbins, 2004). In this context, there is not a purpose of development and
management of environmental issues can be realized as well by the state simply by changing
the characteristics of the policy makers, especially related to issues of land and water into the
community needed.
Critics of the politicization of environmental policy still leaves the problem, namely by
reconstituting a new ecological construction in political policy (Luke, 2006). Problems of
availability of water resources in Batu, mostly caused by the degradation of the quantity of
water resources due to surface erosion of more than 5,000 (M3 / km2). Besides the critical
land outside and inside the protected forest and land use is not as intended, giving rise to
excessive soil erosion and reduced water absorption surface and affect the quantity of
irrigation water.
The most important factor in the environmental problems of Batu city is the greater
the rate of population growth. The rapid surge in population has triggered increasing demand
for food, energy, housing and basic human needs. The surge in the number of residents in
Batu City since the enactment of regional autonomy has an impact on increasing the intensity
of land and water management both in forest area and outside forest area. The activity has a
negative effect on the hydrological condition of the whole spring.
The constitution No. 23 of 1997 on Environmental Management explained that the
conservation of natural resources management of non-renewable natural resources to ensure
prudent utilization while maintaining and improving the quality of its value. Water resources
conservation is an attempt to maintain the existence and sustainability of the circumstances,
the nature and function of water in order to be available in sufficient quantity and quality
needs, both at present and in the future.
The conservation issue is not only a problem of role society but also environmental
conservation resulting from redistribution and renegotiation in local economic development.
Moreover, access and control of government to environmental resources have modified
through the intervention of external politics, so that environmental conservation is not the
main goal in structuring a sustainable environment, but as a result the local economy resulting
integration of policy makers and project government (Vaccaro, 2013), A similar phenomenon,
that indigenous communities in conserving forests and manage water resources to maintain of
the ecosystem balances, prevent denuded forests, reducing potential disasters such as erosion
and flooding (Diamond, 2016). This shows that the management of water sources need to be
the role of the community and support from the government through regulatory support. The
potential need to be developed and utilized to improve the welfare of the community through
the conservation of natural resources and ecosystems, in order to achieve a balance between
protection and sustainability (Lindsay, et al., 2008; and Can, 2010).
The water resources management strategy for fulfilling domestic water needs through
joint management methods between government and community. This strategy should be
implemented through the protection of conservation areas, drainage springs, institutional and
regulatory (Rohmah, 2016). This suggests a collaborative management of the springs towards
a sustainable environment. Damage to the environment in Batu has reached alarming levels,
while recovery efforts have not been able to keep pace with the damage. Thus the effect of

global warming on the rain will still take place within a period of time. It is very worrying for
the environment sustainability given that economic development is not even aware of
sensitivity to the sustainability of the trees function as the support of environmental stability.
The water conservation issues that have been pursued so far has not been able to overcome
these problems and also inefficient in terms of cost. Nature and government must have a good
relationship.. Therefore, damage to the environment such as natural disasters, floods,
landslides and droughts occur as a result of government regulations that are less concerned
about the environment. The ecological disaster in Batu should be changed to the policy
strategy for the conservation of soil and water management through a holistic approach with a
focus on natural resources.
In Batu, since 2001 experienced ecological degradation, especially springs that
became the needs of the community. At least from the 111 springs in Batu City, only 57
springs remain. 54 was lost due to the unsustainable policy in the management of the Water
Source after the stipulation of Batu became Administrative City. It is caused by the rapid
development of tourism and hotels. So the need for water conservation through effective
management and efficient utilization is very necessary and urgent activities. Water
managementas a natural resource is a part of a water conservation program that fully
maintain, rehabilitate, maintain and utilize the resources of existing water effectively and
efficiently for the welfare of society. This effort is necessary to reduce volusi and pollution of
water resources due to over-exploitation treatment in order to meet increasing needs of the
community.
The challenges are a problem that must be resolved through the management of water
sources effectively through regulatory support from the government. In addition, the need for
innovation overall water resource management and innovative in designing a community
needs in a sustainable manner. The development of innovation by adopting local wisdom to
be one choice as a source of government policy making as efforts to achieve self-reliance in
managing water resources sustainably and sustainably.
Therefore, members of the network governance must continue to work over and over
again in the long term. Working together from time to time is the order of coordination
facilitated by the existing network structure. In its development in the future, it will create an
improvisation of the existing network. In this case, network governance can be defined as a
process of organizing a dynamic rather than as a static entity. Network coordination could not
random or uniform. Has a pattern, a word that is able to explain the coordination that is built
into this governance network.
A. Research Method
This research uses descriptive qualitative research. For finding, uncovering, and
digging the facts contained in a specific problem that is happening in the management of
water resources in the city of stone. The focus of this research is to look at the problem of
Water Resources Management in Batu, to see how the state works and stakeholder
involvement in decision making process and water resources management in realizing
sustainable development. The data source is processed from the primary data obtained from
the stone city government and secondary data through interviews with policy makers directly
related to the management of water resources and stakeholders involved in the decisionmaking process.

B. Network Governance as a Concept for Suistainable Development
Network Governance a form of response to the conditions of the exchange of assets,
demand uncertainty, the complexity of the task and the frequency of the task and the request
itself. Exchange conditions regarding the above items are structural which enable an
institution or any other form for subsequent use social mechanisms to coordinate and
maintain the exchange of four things mentioned above. When all the conditions are in a stable
position, the form of network governance has the advantage of being better than the
governance of the hierarchy and the market system, both in terms of adaptation to specific
conditions and coordination among the actors involved (Jones, 1979: 911).
Network governance has two key concepts are different and each of them has a
partial definition in explaining it. The concept is: (1) The pattern of the exchange interaction
and relationships and (2) Flow of resources between several independent units. The
explanation of the first concept is the emphasis on exchange patterns that are horizontal or
lateral. The long-term relationship that ultimately resulted in a dependency relationship
between the actors involved. As well as the latter is to have reciprocal communication lines in
order to maintain good coordination among all actors involved. While the independent
resource flows is a pattern of relationships involving individuals, groups and organizations.
The relationship is long term and the market system relations. The flow of resources is the
focus of the emphasis in this second concept. Each of the units involved in this relationship is
emphasized to have the independence to interact.
Network governance is a structure that involves multy stakeholders to create a
product or service based on open contracts that eventually coordinate to create a contingency
plan and maintain the flow of resources exchange between parties involved (Jones, 1979:
914). Network members involved are in the same but with a different work and competence
in order to achieve the same interests.
Articulation of interdependence which is stable and has a pattern of horizontal
relationships and operationalized by autonomous actors. The relation between these actors are
dynamic represented by negotiation, where regulations are normative, cognitive and
imaginary framework and networks government are dynamic and constantly evolving to
adjust to the social, economic and political movements (Sorensen, 2007: 9).
In some cases of network governance has presented a challenge to liberal democracy.
First, look at people's network governance is not something given, but the result of a political
process. Second, network governance presents a critique of the representative model. The
concept of representation is essentially not a mirror of society, but the other community. This
refers to the views of representatives of elitism, particularism representation and limited
representation. network governance also questioned the autonomous character of the concept
of representation. For that network governance offers a model of political participation to
provide the grant legitimacy to the actors to reconstruct the identity it represents and makes
political decisions that refer to the identity of the group it represents. Despite the criticism
against governence based on the logic of the free market and competition, network
governance still leave for the logic of the records should be provided access to adequate
citizen. Third, the administration looked at the network governance should not be political,

because in actual fact the administration has a great influence in the policy process, because
of the direct involvement and even decisive.
C. Result and Dicussion
Institutional Design: The functions, powers, resources and challenges
In order to realize the integration of development between sectors, regions and
communities. Government set up the environment and minimize our environmental impact
through the Constitution No. 7 of 2011 on Spatial Plan 2010-2030. Environment agency or
policymakers have a number of distinctive Characteristic that ideally can be used as a
reference point for setting politics as an instrument of mutual interest. Three basic of
characteristic environment that can be identified in the water management resources in Batu.
First, the nature of the environment as a unified system across the boundaries of public
administration and politics. That is, the environment is never faithful and can never be fenced
off by the space created through politics. He crossed the national borders, ignoring the
conceptualization of sovereignty as a point of departure in the meaning of a modern state.
Environmental properties never loyal and can not be fenced in by the limits of government
administration or pattern settings.
Batu has 111 points of springs, and of these as many as 58 point sources of water
(52.25%) water discharge is relatively fixed/normal, discharge up to 15 Lt/sec. While the 28
point sources of water (25.22%) discharge conditions that exist ranging from 5 Ltr/sec up to
15 ltr/sec. And 25 point source water (22:52%) decreased discharge below 5 ltr/sec and there
are almost dead from the previous average of 10 liters/sec. Therefore, the sustainability of
water resources is the responsibility of government and society. Functionally, th government
has implemented its function in regulating the sustainability of water availability in Batu. The
hierarchy of decision-making process is conceptualized by BAPPEDA and related with
Stakeholder: Dinas Lingkungan Hidup, Dinas Pekerjaan Umum dan Cipta karya. The
mechanism conceptualized by Bappeda is well structured and consists of monitoring,
evaluation and adaptation, will include a continuous learning process. Through which local
stakeholders can be effectively involved in water resources management tasks that determine
the welfare conditions of society both right now and in the future. Delegation of authority of
this kind emphasizes that there is control and water resources management, because in it
related to the issue of power relations and the role between government and society.

that includes the vision, mission, goals, strategies, policies, programs and development
activities. The programs are made in line with the policies and strategies defined and based on
the principle of sustainability, balance, public benefit, integrity and harmony based on the
direction the management of water resources in accordance with the constitution No. 7 of
2004. In addition, sustainable water management and provision of water supply for the
community management is given to the Dinas Pekerjaan Umum dan Cipta Karya and the
Regional Water Company (PDAM) of Batu. Dinas Pekerjaan Umum dan Cipta Karya served
as a builder along with BAPPEDA level two as a builder level to formulate a policy on the
management of water resources and also tasked to provide guidance to taps and HIPPAM
related to the management of water resources, improvement specific to the skills in the
exploitation and maintenance of irrigation networks and water distribution is fair and
equitable. and also have a responsibility if there are problems that occur in the management of
water resources, it is in accordance with the instructions of Governors (Ingub) No. 9 of 1989.
While the Regional Water Company (PDAM) of Batu is a company or Local Government
Owned Enterprises who undertake public drinking water. PDAM duty to direct management
to the field so that the public Batu clean water shortages get good service and be able to meet
people's needs for clean water Batu increasingly. Management conducted by PDAM refers to
the Spatial Plan (RTRW) of Batu to be right on target so that water service can run with the
maximum and sustainable. Additionally taps in doing its job of providing water services
public Batu also through completion the Water Master Plan (RISPAM) so that management
can work effectively and there is continuity between SKPD another so as to facilitate the
management of water resources and more easily obtain investment budgetary funds in

In the context of Batu, the government has formulated three regulations and has
proposed to the City Council related Batu sustainable water management and the
corresponding needs of the community as an institutional design efforts.Three of the proposed
regulation, namely the Water Supply System, Formation PDAM (Regional Water Company),
and Equity at the taps.The local regulations regarding drinking water supply system, will
organize its implementation in Batu. While the regulations on the establishment of taps, is
already there. However, the new regulations from the center, should be changed regulation.
Associated with equity participation fee is intended to make up the shortfall that had been
used by PDAM of Batu limited. For that, it needs to be set as the amount of capital
investment, and profits earned as revenue (PAD). Such as water supply network owned by
PDAM of Batu much leaked. If the condition is maintained, will significantly reduce the flow
of water. The purpose of these bylaws, will optimize public services, benefits, also minimize
the potential for problems in the management of water resources in Kota Batu.
Bappeda coordinating with related SKPD for management of water resources to meet
water needs of society Batu increasing. Policy management conducted by the Government
requires coordination between SKPD concerned in the management of water resources in
order to create inter-related decisions in achieving a goal fulfill community need clean water.
Water resource management activities subjected to various kinds of constraints that come
from the surrounding communities. Therefore the management process implemented by the
Government should be in the public interest and involve the community in decision making in
order to create good governance. This is consistent with the core of the concept of Habermas
concluded in the model of pubic relations sphere and the political system (Hardiman,
2009:149).
In these models, all the laws and policies made by the state executive, legislative and
judicial institutions must go through the testing processor discourse with civil society.
Referring to the model is expected of local government policies such as the Regional
Strategic Plan, regional development plan (RPJMD), legislation, budget, and other regional
policy can go through the testing process with civil society. Therefore any government policy
decisions should involve the participation of the community as one of the stakeholders in
policy.
Draft local regulations (Ranperda) on water management in Batu become a
benchmark of government responsibility on sustainability. A most authoritarian regimes, does
not have enough power to not migrate into the territory of neighboring countries. Similarly,
the environment does not care and will never care about the struggle to get autonomy as a
concept and political movement that has fought for very long by quite a lot of areas in various
regions of the world which even involves quite a lot of casualties and created a lot of
problems in a nation often defined as "regional question". How big autonomy given to an
area, for example, autonomy possessed not strong enough to stop the flow of a river that
crosses different regions. The characteristic above hypothetically could be incentive structure
is important for the cooperation development among actors, cross interests are difficult to
achieve through the use of other issues. A functional form of political arrangement within the
framework of achieving the maximum collective gain.
Second, theinherent environment in it most subjective interests of human beings,
regardless of the political space and freed. Every individual, require as space environment

needs today that can not be delayed fulfillment and at the same time the future space needs
that can not be accelerated. In this context, the neighborhood has a variety of meanings
ranging from his position as an economic space, cultural space, and even according physical
space.
Due to the above reasons, environmental can serve as a base first and foremost in the
political arrangements of the present and the future. In contrast to democracy at the level that
is much more abstract example of subjective needs above is concrete. The environment is
present in a real and every time and touches each individual and group. This allows providing
incentives for the political environment to serve as an instrument to achieve collective gain.
Third, the power to punish the environment arising as a result of human neglect of the
environment has a very distinctive nature and discriminatory. Disasters arising from
negligence logical dat a natural environment setting and regardless of class. Due to the above
reasons, it makes sense that the environment can be shared to support energy politics as the
art of arranging the common interest. An arrangement art functioned to minimize the risk of a
collective. A concrete form is variable. However, a new formulation of the development by
sustainable attributes deaelopment sustainable or environmentally friendly labeled
(environmentally sound development) is a concrete expression of the look-politics as an art of
living arrangements together in a double frame: collective risk minimization and
maximization of gain.
In reality, idealization as described above not only found but more so, from time to
time gets worse. This problem is more serious in Indonesia. Can disaksikary first, the
environment has never been a political reference point for Batu. Environmental Management
in the Batu, for example, only to end up with the "deal" that the environment is in trouble.
Unfortunately again, when an agreement is reached, the situation is so bad, so that the
business realignment becomes almost useless job.
Individual Relationships, Groups and Organizations in the Management of Natural
Resources
The management of water resources is done through the alignment of the interests of
society and economic sovereignty of Batu. The causal core in the degradation of sustainability
and management of water resources one of which is the economic growth measured by
perkapita opinion. In contrast to a number of environmental and green drivers in Batu such as
Living environment facility (WALHI) East Java and Malang Pusaka Foundation, it must be
clearly understood that the modern world trend to grow is a consequence of the dynamics of
capitalism and industrialism.
Modernity have been described in the classical development theory Rustow (1992)
has been transformed into the type of people who are completely different, namely sebuat risk
society. The transformation was, in part, due to the emergence of these levels and the risk of
environmental hazards expansion that has never existed before and shape models of
conventional modern society without being able to understand their origins. Claims regarding
the transformation of classical modernity into a risk society in which there were radicalized
social movements in response to the water crisis in Batu. It explicitly indicates that the
relations of contemporary political and cultural power in the management of water resources
Batu serves to obscure the origins of environmental degradation and protect the cause of
environmental degradation, especially the preservation of water resources. Political model of

management and decision-making processes through the government regulation is a work that
policy makers must be born with. Democracy and democratization over the political process
is an important political elements fighting for more continuity and sustainability of water
resources for the people in Batu.
Along with the development of the stone city that leads to the international tourism,
tourism development is growing and impacting on people's lives. One is the ecological issue
into the spotlight that can not be avoided. Ecological issues in the stone town is basically
related to forest management and management of water resources. To guarantee the
implementation of water resources management that can benefit as much as possible for the
benefit of society it is necessary to pattern the management of water resources is based on the
principle of balance between conservation and utilization of water resources can not be
separated from the interests of individuals, groups and organizations.
Water resources management in Batu is inseparable from the interests of individuals,
management pattern can be started by the decision makers who termanivestasi in government
work environment. Work environment that gave to vertical and horizontal relationships
within the government machinery to make the nadir that must be answered logically. The
logicof actors in the political process in environmental management is on people's liberation
struggle. Policies that are born by the government in addition to presenting the criticism also
has value and challenges. Criticism of a policy has always been focused on the process that
generated the policy. Governmental actors in the delivery of the management model the
spatial arrangement of the environment. In the context of environmental management, to be
achieved spatially is the capacity of actors in putting political mobilization to achieve these
changes and in the context of the wider community structure, and in the ongoing attempt to
understand the interplay between importance and strategic value and ideal.
Public policy and its consequences is an important framework in response to
environmental governance and sustainability issues of water availability in Batu. The
government has the capacity to reconstruct the environment costs into the political process,
because the costs would be borne polity and economy. The situation is somewhat more
complex when environmental costs are placed as a political agenda. So that the direction of
government policies and actions have not explained how the polity earnest created and run by
political decision makers. This makes the environment of political movements or
organizations engaged in the environment would not be able to intervene in the policy process
and to create a brake on the process of environmental degradation.
Therefore, it takes a full understanding of policy makers and stakeholders to support
the rescue of the environment, especially water resources for sustainability. Ideas through the
viewpoint of the policy-making process can bear the consequences and arguments rescue
springs for the needs of the stone city. agai types of interests and values that motivate political
ideal and the implementation of a policy and the options available to reaffirm the demands of
sustainability and the availability of water resources in the future. Ideal values that drive
politics in the decision making process may include issues of justice, especially justice
between generations. Moral aesthetic significance of the environmental and moral rights of

mobilization of water resources management policy in Batu can be understood through the
factors of the causes and consequences of environmental degradation. The Ideal value and
importance as a driving factor in the political mobilization of water resources management
policy to be very tentative and different. This difference may be exaggerated because people
could oppose destroying the environment because of many reasons. The reasons are (1) for
the benefit of individuals to enjoy uninterrupted water supply. (2) because of concern or
moral ideal that prioritizes the interests of the strong moral stance to protect the group with no
matter what the consequences. And more comprehensive concern may possibly include
economic interests, health and personal aesthetic.
