Abstract

This study aims to describe, analyze, and assess in depth the implementation of administrative region proliferation and a conflict of interests in the regulation of the public bureaucracy in Indonesia. The intended public bureaucracy is institutional arrangement and placement of regional apparatus in Pangandaran Regency, West Java, Indonesia. This study uses a case study approach as a qualitative method by interviewing 12 participants involved in administrative region proliferation of various types of work. The research examines the existence of a conflict of interest in institutional arrangements and placement resources of the apparatus in the new administrative regions. This study found that there has been a conflict of interests that led to a lack of development in the new administrative regions, especially the arrangement of bureaucracy. The findings are as follows: (A) insufficient understanding on the preparation of institutions, members, duties and functions, visions, and missions in running the government; (B) limitations of regional human resources both in terms of education and rank; (C) information technology, one of which is to establish networking; (D) the system of delay has not been implemented, making abuse of power happen in almost all bureaucracies. Theoretically, this study is expected to strengthen the theory on the conflict of interest related to administrative region proliferation. On the other hand, the expected role of the government is to regulate and manage the bureaucracy in the new administrative regions by creating special laws and policies.
