Principles of Good Governance in Regional Government in Advancing Regional Infrastructure Development

Abstract

The Indonesian government has granted most of its regions autonomy, allowing for infrastructure development or sustainable development goals (SDG) in the formal and informal sectors.  Infrastructure, as a system that connects components and activities in a spatial system, plays a vital role in changing regional prosperity and community welfare. Thus, this study will examine whether the principles of good governance are essential for local governments to advance infrastructure development. Normative law is used in this work together with an analytical descriptive methodology. According to the report, local governments should keep trying to operate their operations using the best practices of good governance. If this is done, their governance performance can improve. Local leaders can enhance the effectiveness of local government and prevent confrontations with law enforcement by following the regulations. Local government administration can incorporate the concepts of good governance by making the community an integral part of the development process. Village or sub-district level Musrenbang is the initial step in allocating the budget for sustainable development goals (SDG). A regional or regionalization approach must be used to equalize development, dividing the entire country into geographical units, each having unique characteristics. This can also be done by using administrative or Nataraja areas. In addition, decentralization, which regional and local governments decide, is also needed because decentralization requires good coordination.
