“…However, there is no specific regulation arranging each authority. The distribution of central and local government's affairs must consider the accountability to the center and the maintenance of national standards and targets while enabling government innovation in local level [21].…”

“…While service delivery has improved according to popular perception, economic data do not provide evidence for a positive effect of decentralization on actual service delivery (Ostwald et al 2016). According to socioeconomic indicators of health, education and infrastructure, decentralization brought about increased interregional inequalities in service delivery as local capacity for making use of new opportunities varied (Holzhacker et al 2016;Leer 2016). The uneven outcomes of decentralization moreover depend on levels of elite capture and local accountability, reflecting the relative power of local elites and civil society (McCarthy 2005).…”

The decentralization program that Indonesia embarked on in 1998 as part of widespread national reforms was unprecedented in scope and ambition. Although initially described in terms of a single, transformative event, over the last two decades it has unfolded in manifold, sometimes contradictory processes. The dynamics of decentralization continue today, even-or especially-in the remotest corners of the archipelago. Recent CIFOR research on the interface between human migration and forest management in Malinau, North Kalimantan showed the ongoing salience of legal reforms, the restructuring of local governments and innovations in forest governance. These decentralization processes give rise to hopes, aspirations and uncertainties that form the backdrop for decisions about both migration and land use. This paper synthesizes previous analyses, overviews and evaluations of decentralization, supplemented with insights from more recent publications. A final section considers in more detail the decentralization of the forestry sector and the related introduction of Forest Management Units. The primary aim was to present a concise and up-to-date overview of the aims, dimensions and dynamics of decentralization, to support the analysis of CIFOR's fieldwork data from Malinau. This paper may furthermore be useful to anyone interested in processes of decentralization in Indonesia or elsewhere.

“…As part its administrative autonomy, local governments require a set of strengths and capacity on issues that affect their jurisdiction (Cheema & Rondinelli, 2007;Grindle, 2007;Dubois & Fattore, 2009;Bowman & Kearney, 2011;Kwon, 2013;Holzhacker, Wittek, & Woltjer, 2016).

Policy discretion shall not be construed as a free authority by the public administrator. The positive side discretion is answered to an urgent need, the ambiguity caused the existing policy. The focus this researched would like to explore further the public administrator dilemmas perform some correlation between policy discretion and decentralization, discretion and initiation of bureaucracy innovation. The research method applied is qualitative, descriptive analysis is adopted based on secondary data and information sources. Triangulation is used to draw conclusions carefully from a variety of data sources. The research concludes the initiation of bureaucracy innovation is the urgent needs at this time, and discretion one of the tools that can be used as a policy outside the formal policy not set explicitly on the different the element related with innovation. The unique thing is not all public administrators like and can do discretion, there is a logical consideration that must be met to assess and translate discretion, capability and sufficient knowledge is some logical considerations it is. Bias interpretation will cause negative effects like opening a chance doing the corruption, collusion, nepotism and the occurrence of criminalization policy procedures.
