Ideally, the Regional Representative Council/ DPR should receive the aspirations of the local community and then continue to receive the aspirations to the House of Representatives for consideration in drafting legislation or formulating state policies. However, the reality shows that the aspiration uptake by members of the Regional Representative Council conducted against the constituents in each region, has not been effectively coordinated in accordance with expectations. There has not been an effective coordination yet in receiving aspiration that indicates conflicts of interest between DPR and DPD.The purpose of this research is about the coordination between the DPD and the Parliament in providing services for the absorption of people's aspirations to be conveyed to the state institutions that pay attention to and heed the aspirations of the people; and take those aspirations as input in the discussion of draft laws and regulations.The research method used descriptive qualitative research approach.
