“…The regent/mayor can delegate authority to the cat in this context. Therefore, the breadth and narrowness of the sub-district head's authority are highly dependent on the delegation of authority given by the regent/mayor (Madubun, 2023). In other words, the authority of subdistrict heads for each region tends to differ; even between sub-district heads within one area may also differ.…”

Initially, an additional DAU policy was issued in 2018, namely through Law Number 12 of 2018, concerning the State Revenue and Expenditure Budget for the 2019 Fiscal Year. This policy was designed to provide additional funds to urban villages. District budget allocations are the responsibility of local governments (PEMDA) according to the mandate of Law Number 23 of 2014 concerning Local Government. This study analyzes the failure of the local government to allocate Urban village funds through the General Allocation Fund (DAU) policy. DAU is a fund earmarked for equal distribution of abilities in inter-regional finance to fund regional needs in implementing decentralized government. The additional DAU policy is essential to anticipate due to the local government's failures in allocating these funds. This study aims to analyze the central government's Urban Village Fund policy through the State Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBN). It reflects the failure of the local government to allocate a budget to urban villages from the State Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBN). Besides that, it reflects local governments' inability to allocate budgets to urban villages.

Purpose This study aims to analyze the causes and implications of legal uncertainty in the issuance of conventional municipal bonds in Indonesia and to draw lessons from Vietnam’s approach in providing better legal certainty. Design/methodology/approach This study adopts a normative legal method with a legislative approach and applies a comparative approach. Data sources involve primary and secondary legal materials from both Indonesia and Vietnam. Findings The legal uncertainty is caused by a lack of coherence and consistency in legislation. Based on Vietnam’s experience, Indonesia can gain valuable insights related to providing strong legal certainty for parties involved in issuing or investing through conventional municipal bonds. Research limitations/implications This study focuses on the comparative legal analysis of conventional municipal bonds in Indonesia with Vietnam. Practical implications This research provides recommendations for the refinement of legislation regarding conventional municipal bonds to the government. Social implications This study is related to legal certainty as a strategy to attract investment through municipal bonds and to ensure the municipal bond issuance process is transparent and efficient. Originality/value This study provides a comparative perspective on the issuance of municipal bonds in Indonesia, with a special focus on Vietnam, emphasizing the urgency of harmonization in legal regulation and the sustainability of legal certainty.

This study attempts to understand to what extent the actual priority setting in the municipalities of Türkiye as a developing country aligns with idealised rational models based on theoretical principles and successful cases in developed countries. For that purpose, the study examines the cases of priority‐setting process of service provision in Turkish municipalities through an exploratory qualitative research method involving focus group meetings with the representatives of 30 municipalities and field observation in two municipalities. The findings reveal key aspects of the prioritisation process, including approaches taken by the municipalities, citizen and stakeholder engagement, the role of managers, criteria used for the assessment of alternatives, and evaluation methods. The analysis identifies two distinct patterns, that is the idealised rationalist versus pragmatic, in all the key aspects examined. These findings contribute to a better understanding of what aspects of idealised rationalist and pragmatical decision‐making processes are distinct from each other, and to a more comprehensive international perspective in public organisations, especially in which top manager such as the mayor is elected into office in developing countries. The study cautions against uncritical acceptance of oversimplified rationalistic as well as universalistic assumptions behind priority‐setting models and advocates for a more substantiated and contextualised understanding of decision‐making processes.Points for practitioners Adopting a priority‐setting approach (technique, method, or criteria) necessitates considering the unique conditions and challenges of one's organisation and the local context. It is imperative to blend theoretical principles with practical realities to achieve optimal decision‐making and superior outcomes. Priority setting in public organisations of developing countries diverges from idealised rational models used in developed countries due to contextual factors like culture and limited resources. Policy advisors from international organisations and developed countries should endorse knowledge and experience sharing that acknowledges both ideal and practical realities. Concurrently, practitioners in developing countries must critically assess the applicability of advised models to their specific context before adoption. If the mayor takes a dominant role in the priority setting that outweighs institutional strategies and priorities, effective prioritisation among alternatives may be hindered. To rebalance power, it is crucial to foster an organisational culture that embraces participative decision‐making and professionalism and implements mechanisms such as auditing, transparency, and accountability.
