Data collection was carried out in this study using observation and internet searches regarding literature studies. The purpose of writing is to find out how the implementation of the division of authority in Indonesia. The results of the discussion are that the separate authorities between the central government and local governments can be a determining factor for a region, both provincial and district/city, to develop or it will become a limiting factor for an area to be able to adapt policies made by its government to the life of its people. The author also suggests that stakeholders who are authorized to run the wheels of government, both central and regional, can return to conducting studies and research regarding this distribution of authority, because each existing region, both provincial and district/city has its own characteristics or characteristics, that can develop and adapt to the needs of existing communities.]]>
