Abstract

The implementation of regional autonomy in Indonesia is often assessed through fiscal independence as a measure of a region's capacity to manage its own finances. However, in practice, many regions—including Raja Ampat Regency—remain heavily reliant on central government transfers, highlighting the weakness of local fiscal capacity. This study aims to evaluate the financial capability of the region and examine the dynamics of fiscal relations between the central and local governments in Raja Ampat Regency, Southwest Papua Province. A descriptive quantitative approach was employed, utilizing secondary data from 2020 to 2024. The evaluation is based on five key indicators: the Degree of Fiscal Decentralization (DDF), Degree of Fiscal Autonomy (DOF), Fiscal Need (KbF), Fiscal Capacity (KaF), and the Fiscal Independence Ratio. The analysis reveals that Raja Ampat's fiscal independence is critically low, with an average DDF of only 19.45% and a DOF of merely 1.89%. The region’s high per capita fiscal need (10.45) is not matched by sufficient fiscal capacity (5.85), indicating a significant fiscal deficit. Furthermore, the persistently negative fiscal independence ratio reinforces its strong dependence on central government support. The existing fiscal relationship is characterized as instructive, with central intervention remaining dominant. A reformulation of fiscal policy that is more context-sensitive and equitable is urgently needed to support archipelagic regions such as Raja Ampat in achieving sustainable fiscal independence.
