“…The implementation of regional autonomy in Indonesia after Indonesia's reformation was marked by the Amendment UUd 1945 process to the Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia and the enactment of Law Number 22 of 1999 concerning Regional Government [7].

Manduang Village is currently being developed into tourism village village in Klungkung Regency has formed a Tourism Awareness Group in accordance with the Decree of the Head of the Klungkung Regency Tourism Office Number 4 of 2022. Based on observations in the field and the results of interviews, currently Manduang village already has a tourism business in the form of a Tubing business. The establishment of this tourism village business is the answer to the demands of the village in establishing business in the real economic sector, especially from the tourism sector. However, at this time the existence of Tubing Tukad Jinah has not been able to develop properly. The whole problem then leads to one problem, namely: the unclear management of the tubing business or the weakness of the institutional integration sector in the management of the tubing business by the Tourism Awareness Group. Manduang Village legally has a Village-Owned Enterprise in 2015 in accordance with Manduang Village Regulation Number 6 of 2015. The existence of BUMDes in Bhoga Werdhi cannot be used as a driving force for businesses in Manduang Village, including in the management of the Tubing Tukad Jinah business. Bhoga Werdhi's BUMDes Household Rules do not yet have the power or legal in the tourism business. The existence of the Tourism Awareness Group with the BUMDes of Bogha Werdhi still seems to be separate and there is no collaboration in the management of the Tubing Tukad Jinah business. In fact, if referring to the BUMDes Bogha Werdhi Work Program in 2022, it is stated that one of the opportunities targeted by BUMDes is in the tourism sector which aims to create jobs for the Manduang community and obtain economic benefits. This study used qualitative research methods. This research consists of stages of data collection, literature study and data analysis, focus group discussion, conclusion and recommendation. Primary data in this study was obtained from the results of consecutive unstructured interviews from May to June 2022 with related parties such as the Head of the Klungkung Planning, Research and Development Agency, Head of the Klungkung Regency Tourism Office, Manduang Village Perbekel, Director of BUMDes Bogha, Chair of the Tourism Awareness Group.

“…Based on this conflict of interest, we can say that Indonesia's current form of regional autonomy policy is still not fair. Decentralisation proposes a concept of the division of authority (Yakub, Abdul Ghani, & Anwar, 2020). However, implementing the pattern of division of authority as conceptualised by the decentralisation system has created problems (Hanson, 2022).…”

Since its 24 years as the capital city of North Maluku province, Sofifi has not had the status of an autonomous region. This study aims to analyse the causes of the emergence of Sofifi's expansion conflict. This study uses a qualitative method with a case study approach. The data sources in this study came from journal articles and online media, which were processed using NVivo 12 Plus. The findings in this study indicate that Sofifi's conflict is a conflict of interest over the struggle for political power and the potential for natural resources by political elites. Even so, the community's demand for the division of Sofifi was based on three things: the reality of backwardness in development, the lack of public services, and the fact that Sofifi is the provincial capital. The emergence of demands for division has given rise to a response of rejection; the refusal is because of the announcement of the Sultanate of Tidore. In addition, there are differences in development governance between the provincial government and the Sultan of Tidore. Later, the Tidore City government also used the argument of a moratorium from the central government to dampen demands for division. This study's conclusion explains the interest in the struggle for power and natural resources behind the emergence of the Sofifi expansion conflict. This study confirms that regional autonomy conflicts tend to be caused by conflicts over power and natural resources that take advantage of ethnicity.

“…Fiscal decentralisation and delegation of authority to local tiers are crucial in improving overall fiscal management. This encourages trust, harmony, and unity in society and proficiently ensures equitable access to basic public needs (Yakub et al, 2018). Zhang (1997) found that economic growth was significantly affected by the distribution of resource structure between local and central governments in the post-1970s reform period.…”

Effective use of public resources is crucial for developing countries facing persistent deficits. Fiscal decentralisation is believed to enhance government efficiency over resource use. Therefore, the paper intends to examine the association between Pakistan’s Fiscal Decentralisation (FD) and Fiscal Management from 1988 to 2020. The authors develop a Composite Decentralisation Index (CDI) that captures the effect of both Expenditure Decentralisation (ED) and Revenue Decentralisation (RD) processes. After confirmation of stationarity through augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) and Philip-Peran (PP) unit roots tests, the study employs the Johansen cointegration method to draw longrun estimates. The study’s findings reveal that composite decentralisation reduces public deficit significantly - lower corruption, weaker underground economy, and smaller government size help reduce the fiscal deficit. The Error Correction Term (ECM) is also negative and significant at 1%, which confirms the speed of convergence towards longrun equilibrium in case of any shock or dis equilibrium in the short run. These study findings may help policymakers and legislatures draft effective long-term fiscal management policies.
