Relasi Kewenangan Pemerintah Pusat dan Pemerintah Daerah dalam Penataan Kawasan Metropolitan Jabodetabek-Punjur

Abstract

The arrangement concept and development of the Metropolitan Area poses as one of the most interesting issues relating to local government law. Although the Regional Government Law provides flexibility for local governments to regulate and manage their regional affairs, in the Metropolitan Areas however, the Central Government takes part in structuring the regulations and institutions. This study examines two issues, namely the regulation of Metropolitan Areas in Indonesia and the relation of authority between the Central Government and Regional Governments in the arrangement of the Jakarta-Bogor-Depok-Tangerang-Bekasi-Puncak-Cianjur Metropolitan Area. This study uses a normative juridical method. The results of the study conclude that first, regulations regarding Metropolitan Areas are spread across various instruments, namely Legislations, Government Regulations, Provincial Regulations, and Regency/City Regional Regulations. Second, in structuring the Jabodetabek Metropolitan Area, the Central Government still dominates, while the Regional Government only needs to carry out what is the will of the Central Government. This dominance can be seen in the aspects of regulatory formation and management of Metropolitan Areas.
