Backgrounds.
Decentralization euphoria in Indonesia, after decades of centralistic era, result in the rise of local leaders that imply to complexity of public policy decision making process in municipality level.
This is also the impact of political cost of municipality leader election process (Bupati/Walikota) that not only raise conflict of interests but also ignite the difficult way to initiate cooperation between local government.
Basic concept of infrastructure asset management with cross jurisdiction (between regions) involving inter local government role was stipulated in various regulations related to regional governance. One of the principles of the regulation is the role of provincial government to initiate coordination between municipality.
In some cases, infrastructure assets not only being used by the users in particular region, but also by the users in other region. This issue is need to be elaborated, especially in order to motivate cooperation between local governments that involved studies as well as research about government role sharing and externalities calculation as impact of asset development.
