Introduction

Analisis dampak adanya dewan kawasan aglomerasi dalam undang-undang nomor 2 tahun 2024 tentang provinsi daerah khusus jakarta terhadap desentrlisasi pemerintah daerah. Analisis dampak Dewan Kawasan Aglomerasi dalam UU No. 2/2024 tentang Jakarta terhadap desentralisasi pemerintah daerah. Meninjau sinkronisasi kebijakan tanpa mengurangi otonomi.

Abstract

This research aims to find out what impacts arise and are felt as a result of the provision of an Agglomeration Area Council in the Special Region of Jakarta based on the instructions of Law Number 2 of 2024 concerning the Special Region of Jakarta Province on the decentralization of regional governments within the scope of the agglomeration area. This study is a literature review using normative juridical research methods. The results of the study found that the agglomeration area stipulated in Law Number 2/2024 is an area for synchronizing policies related to spatial development and regional development plans. The Agglomeration Zone Council itself has the authority to coordinate, monitor and evaluate the synchronization of regional development implementation. The authority of the Agglomeration Area Council does not take away the regional government's authority or decentralization and regional autonomy, but the agglomeration area program is still implemented by the regional government in accordance with its autonomy, while the Agglomeration Area Council only carries out synchronization and coordination. Therefore, the impact of the existence of the Agglomeration Area Council is only to align the work programs carried out by regional governments which are included in the scope of the Jabodetabekjur Agglomeration Area.

Review

This paper, "Analisis Dampak Adanya Dewan Kawasan Aglomerasi dalam Undang-Undang Nomor 2 Tahun 2024 tentang Provinsi Daerah Khusus Jakarta terhadap Desentralisasi Pemerintah Daerah," tackles a highly pertinent and timely issue concerning the decentralization of regional governments in Indonesia, particularly within the newly mandated framework for the Special Region of Jakarta. Employing a normative juridical research method and a literature review approach, the study aims to ascertain the impacts of the Agglomeration Area Council, established by Law Number 2 of 2024, on the decentralization of regional governments within the broader Jabodetabekjur agglomeration area. The core finding asserts that the Council's role is primarily for policy synchronization and coordination in spatial and regional development, explicitly stating that its authority does not diminish the autonomous powers or decentralization of regional governments. The research provides a valuable and prompt initial legal interpretation of a significant new piece of legislation, offering clarity on the Agglomeration Area Council's intended function. Its precise distinction between the Council's role as one of coordination and synchronization versus an erosion of regional autonomy is crucial for understanding the evolving governance architecture of Jakarta and its surrounding regions. This nuanced perspective helps to address potential concerns about a re-centralization of power and reaffirms the ongoing commitment to decentralization principles, even with the introduction of a new layer for inter-regional policy alignment. The study's clear exposition of the legal framework establishes a robust foundation for subsequent discussions and policy implementations concerning this novel governmental body. While the study commendably clarifies the legal intent behind the Agglomeration Area Council's establishment, future research could benefit from a deeper exploration of potential practical complexities and implications. For example, even with explicitly defined coordination roles, the practical dynamics of power and influence within inter-governmental bodies can sometimes subtly affect the actual exercise of regional autonomy. It would be insightful to investigate the mechanisms through which "synchronization" is expected to manifest in practice, and whether this could, over time, lead to de facto policy alignment that feels more like direction rather than voluntary coordination, irrespective of the legal provisions. An empirical follow-up, once the Council is operational and has had time to implement its mandate, to assess the real-world impact on regional government decision-making processes and the quality of decentralization, would be a logical and highly beneficial next step to complement this solid normative foundation.
