| Title | Decentralization and Public Service Delivery in Indonesia: The Case of Road Infrastructure |
| Summary | This thesis focuses on the recent decentralization in Indonesia and its effect on road infrastructure provision. Theoretically, the decentralization of decision-making power to the local governments would improve the matching of public infrastructure depend on the local preferences. To analyze the impact of decentralization of public service delivery after the implementation of Law No. 22/1999, I employed descriptive statistics to see the improvement of local road infrastructure and OLS regression to examine the relationship between the local government quality and the change of the local road infrastructure stocks after decentralization. Using data from PODES 2000 and 2008, this thesis finds that (1) decentralization has improved the availability of local road infrastructures (2) there is a positive relationship between the improvement of the local roads infrastructure stocks and the mayors/regents’ quality. The outcome of this thesis will be valuable to the Indonesian government to improve the road infrastructure provision in the decentralized system. |
