This research method utilizes qualitative approach and to examine normative jurisdiction. This research reveals that whilst the implementation of local autonomy for 13 years has brought forth a number of positive changes to the community, it still lacks in both regulations and its implementation. One of the aspects that need to be addressed and clarified is the limitation of the authority of government given to provinces and regions.
