Abstract

Fiscal decentralization represents a pivotal strategy by the Indonesian Government to promote equitable development and alleviate regional disparities. Within this framework, Special Autonomy Funds, integral to the Transfer to Region scheme, act as a critical policy instrument. Despite numerous studies, the definitive role of fiscal decentralization on regional economic dynamics still needs to be solved. This research endeavors to deepen the understanding of fiscal decentralization's impact in Indonesia by examining the effects of the Special Autonomy Funds on the regional economy. Specifically, it assesses how these funds influence the Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) Per Capita at Current Prices (ADHB) across Aceh, Papua, and West Papua provinces. The results show a significant impact of the Special Autonomy Funds on the GRDP Per Capita ADHB, with a high R2 of 94.2% by using panel regression analysis. Keywords: Fiscal Decentralization, Transfer to Region, Special Autonomy Funds, Regression Analysis.

Abstract

Territorial split is one of the Government of Indonesia’s strategies to address regional disparities and promote equitable development along with effective government administration nationwide. Various studies on the impact of territorial splits in the new autonomous regions have indicated that these measures have achieved limited success, particularly during the initial period following the implementation of the Regional Autonomy policy in the early 2000s. North Kalimantan, which was established in 2012 as one of Indonesia's youngest provinces, may present different outcomes compared to other autonomous regions formed during the early stages of these policies. This study aims to analyze the economic development and regional disparities indicators in North Kalimantan before and after the 2012 territorial split. This research utilizes data from the Central Bureau of Statistics of the Republic of Indonesia, including national, provincial, and regency/city levels, aiming to analyze economic development trends from pre- to post-slit 2012, as measured by Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP), GRDP per capita, Gini Index, Williamson Index, and Klassen Typology. The findings show that economic development indicators in North Kalimantan have improved following the territorial split. Regional disparities indicators such as the Williamson Index and Klassen Typology Analysis also show an improved situation in North Kalimantan post-split, making it one of the regions that has successfully grown and thrived well after the territorial split. The strong economic potential of North Kalimantan before the territorial split may have played a role in maintaining its economy in the post-split period.

Abstract

The Urban Heat Island (UHI) phenomenon can occur naturally in urban areas due to increasing population density and built-up spaces, leading to higher temperatures compared to surrounding non-urban areas. This study investigates the Urban Heat Island (UHI) phenomenon in Coblong, Bandung, by analyzing land surface temperature (LST), vegetation density, and land cover data from 2017, 2019, and 2021 through remote sensing analysis using Landsat imagery data. The results reveal significant surface temperature disparities of 7 to 8 degrees Celsius between densely populated areas in the south and greener areas in the north of Coblong. The findings confirm the presence of the UHI effect and underscore the complexity of factors influencing it, including the distribution and density of vegetation. To mitigate this phenomenon, we propose a multifaceted approach that includes enhancing and strategically distributing green vegetation and employing innovative, more permeable construction materials for urban infrastructure. This strategy aims to reduce the UHI impact and improve thermal comfort and livability in Coblong,and might be applied to other areas with similar characteristics facing similar challenges.
