INTRODUCTION regional financial management. 2001 is the most historic moment in the context of regional OSR owned by the Government are set out in regulation autonomy in Indonesia, because in that year deregulation use (Act) No. 28 of 2009 on Local Taxes and Levies. The birth of of authority that formerly rested on centralistic governance the OSR legal basis shows that the government wanted the turned into decentralized. In this condition, it become a tidbit role of OSR in supporting the creation of financing the budget for the community leaders who are in the western part of of the region itself. South Sulawesi to build its own province which is then known Out of 33 provinces in Indonesia, about 14 provinces as West Sulawesi province via Law No. 26 of 2004 on the reaching local government revenue contribution to 40% - Establishment of West Sulawesi province with the aim to 50%, only one province that came from Eastern Indonesia further the welfare of society and streamline the public namely South Sulawesi and as many as 17 provinces OSR service. These objectives can only be achieved if it has a contributed approximately 10% -30% are all derived from strong financial carrying capacity especially those stemming Eastern Indonesia, even the most tragic because there are still from OSR and professional human resources. governments that have contributed revenue of less than 10%, The concept of decentralization and the creation of an namely Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam, Papua, and West Papua. efficient public service as the goal of the establishment of In line with observation result [2] distinguishes between West Sulawesi in accordance with TAP MPR No. IV / MPR / contributions OSR province with the contribution of OSR 2000 that the decentralization policy areas to achieve districts / cities with a review of regional autonomy improved public services and the development of creativity of implemented since January 1, 2001.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY Sulawesi province as an autonomous region should have a role To answer the problem, the analysis of this research used local revenue that is more dominant than the equalization exploratory methods. The method is very flexible and not fund, but the reality shows that the funds derived from the structured so as to facilitate the search for ideas and guidance center is still very high so it does not yet appear independence on problem situations. The approach used in assessing the and ability to manage its own family through income sources independence of West Sulawesi province is a mix between that are owned. Despite the presence of West Sulawesi province in the fiscal decentralization approach, the degree of fiscal needs and category youngest formation after the reform, the role of fiscal capacity. Through three approaches to the conclusion government expected to bring West Sulawesi as independent that it would be more koprehensif and refresentatif. while the province. If seen from the parameter independence with data used in this research is secondary data derived from the reference to the degree of fiscal decentralization, the one Regional Budget for Fiscal Year 2013 and 2014, and the among these parameters is to measure the proportion of local research literature survey ever done before to strengthen the revenue to total local revenues. See in the table 03. The table 03 shows the contribution of OSR in West research analysis study. Sulawesi province to the total regional revenues in 2013 approximately 08.49% and approximately 11.15% in 2014. III. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION This value shows that over the past two years, government OSR is a pure source of revenue from the area, which is the revenue of West Sulawesi province is dominated by revenues main capital for the region as the cost of governance and local from the central government about 91.51% in 2013 and by development. Although OSR is not entirely able to finance the 2014 approximately 88.85%, thus the journey toward total expenditure of the area, but the proportion of the total independence of West Sulawesi province will still be revenue OSR area remains an indication of a degree of experienced a long process.

Along with laws concerning the national development plan and regional development that mandate a sustainable development framework, the government has issued President Regulation No. 59/2017 on the implementation of sustainable development goals. The issuance of these recent regulatory frameworks indicates that sustainable development should be taken seriously in development processes. Nevertheless, several factors affect the achievement of sustainable development. This paper investigates how economic, social, and environmental factors could be integrated into regional sustainable development indicators using a new composite index. The index is calculated based on a simple formula that could be useful for practical implementation at the policy level. Three measures of indices are developed: arithmetic, geometric, and entropy-based. The indices are aggregated to be used for comparison purposes among regions in terms of their sustainability performance. Lessons learned are then drawn for policy analysis and several recommendations are provided to address challenges in the implementation stages. Keywords: regional sustainable development index; sustainable development; composite index; regional development goals 1.

DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.15294/jejak.v9i2.7625 JEJAK Journal of Economics and Policy http://journal.unnes.ac.id/nju/index.php/jejak The Fiscal Capacity of The Seven New Provinces and its Implications Juli Panglima Saragih1 1The Research Centre of Expertise Agency of DPR RI, Indonesia Permalink/DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.15294/jejak.v9i2.7625 Received: March 2016; Accepted: June 2016; Published: September 2016 Abstract Since 2001 the regional autonomy policies have brought out seven new provinces in Indonesia. Consequently, they require the central transfer budget to finance the delegated duties and authorities and the development programs in each province. Since its establishment until today, the fiscal capacity in seven provinces except Banten has not fulfilled the increase in local expenditure needs every year. It still much depends on the central transfer because the local revenue source like PAD is very low. This research uses a descriptive method- analysis by analyzing the secondary data relevant to the discussed topic and using the concept of fiscal capacity in the fram ework of the fiscal decentralization theory. The results of this qualitative research explain that the high fiscal capacity index (IKF) is obtained by four provinces those are Bangka Belitung, West Papua, Riau, and North Maluku, while the intermediate index is obtained by Banten, and the low fiscal capacity index is obtained by Gorontalo and West Sulawesi. Good fiscal capacity with high index does not guarantee that the poor population in the area will be reduced as West Papua and Riau which populations are still relatively large.
