Abstract

Fiscal self-reliance of local governments has become a crucial issue in Indonesia’s fiscal decentralization era, as it reflects a region’s capacity to finance development without excessive dependence on central government transfers. This study aims to analyze the effects of economic growth rate, Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) in the industrial sector, GRDP in the agricultural sector, and regional asset values on the level of fiscal self-reliance across 100 regencies/municipalities in six major island regions of Indonesia during the 2019–2023 period. Utilizing a fixed-effects panel data regression model and comprehensive statistical diagnostics, the study controls for interregional heterogeneity to obtain robust estimates. The results show that industrial GRDP and regional asset values have a positive and significant impact on fiscal self-reliance, indicating that industrialization and optimal public asset management are key drivers in strengthening locally generated revenue. Conversely, agricultural GRDP and economic growth rate do not exhibit a significant effect, reflecting the limited capacity of these sectors in supporting local fiscal strength primarily due to the dominance of informal activities and weak fiscal integration. These findings affirm that fiscal self-reliance cannot be built solely through economic growth; rather, it requires structural transformation focused on high value-added sectors and institutional strengthening in regional asset management. Policy implications include the need to reformulate sectoral fiscal strategies and enhance asset governance as concrete steps toward sustainable and equitable fiscal decentralization.

Abstract

This study examines how urban-rural development has transformed interaction patterns between urban and rural areas in the Special Region of Yogyakarta, Indonesia. A mixed-methods approach was employed, utilizing PODES data from 2000 and 2018. The coefficient of variation (CV) was used to measure disparities in education, health, and economic resources, while regression analysis identified key factors influencing rural well-being. The results reveal a structural shift from service-based development to an economy-driven transformation, where income diversification, access to Rural Credit Banks (BPRs), and digital infrastructure (BTS) play a central role. Primary education facilities are relatively well distributed, but disparities persist in access to secondary education. Overall, rural development in Yogyakarta has evolved toward an inclusive and interconnected pattern emphasizing financial inclusion, digital connectivity, and spatial integration, highlighting the need for policies that balance economic integration with environmental sustainability.

Abstract

This study analyzes the effect of Human Resource Competence (HRC) on the Quality of Regional Financial Reports (QFR), with Financial System Utilization (UFS) and Internal Audit Quality (QIA) as mediating variables. Grounded in the Resource-Based View, Agency Theory, and New Public Management, the study explains how human competence, system utilization, and audit quality jointly shape public financial governance. Using survey data from 199 regional financial officers in South and West Sulawesi, the analysis employs Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM–AMOS). The results show that HRC significantly improves UFS, QIA, and QFR, while both UFS and QIA act as effective mediators. Among these, QIA provides the strongest indirect effect on QFR. The findings highlight that improving regional financial reporting quality requires an integrated strengthening of human resources, financial systems, and internal audit functions.
