It’ll conclude a more as between regions, the area is still very visible, especially in comprehensive and representative, data used is secondary data derived from Regional Budget Fiscal in 2013/2014, survey of the province which was divided after the reform like literature and studies done previously to strengthen study Gorontalo, West Sulawesi, West Papua, and North Maluku. analysis. It showed the independence of West Sulawesi province Comparison between the OSR with a budget sourced from the still very low, seen from fiscal degree decentralization in 2014 center ranges from 30%: 70% with variations contributions only 11.15% in the proportion of OSR aspect to regional revenue OSR, 208 regencies / cities have OSR contribution less than and BHPBP against Total Revenue Region approximately 4.44%, 20%, as many as 65 districts / cities have contributed 20.1 while the degree of fiscal needs in 2014 at OSR proportion to the OSR % -40%, as many as 17 districts / cities that have the regional income approximately 11.15%. OSR + BHPBP OSR ability more than 50% from the total receipts of its proportion of total public expenditures approximately 15.04%, APBD (state budget) [1]. and the OSR proportion to indirect expenditures approximately 54.36%. and fiscal capacity index is 0.4759 (low). West Sulawesi is rich in natural resources but still have poor people around 190,000 inhabitants and apparatus Keyword: Decentralization, Own-Source Revenue (OSR) and Local resources that still require increasing competence. Therefore, Government the Government of West Sulawesi must perform acceleration in the improvement of human resources, especially in the I. 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. OSR to provincial and local government, conformity relationship between the center district / city is relatively small compared to the total budget. and regions and between the region itself within the authority For the provincial average of only 25-30%, while for the and finances to ensure a sense of nationalism, democracy, district / city is only about 15-20% of the total budget. Most prosperity and the creation of a wider space for local still be obtained from the DAU. That means, the dependence independence. Thus, the mandate of MPR, of course, must be on the central area remains high. actualized in a tangible form through clean government Confirms that argument by showing the data that for five management and morality within the Government of West consecutive years in mind that (1) a comparison between OSR with a budget that comes from the central government range Copyright © 2017, the Authors.

Fiscal Decentralization donations OSR from various districts / cities in Indonesia, Fiscal decentralization is an approach used to determine namely: 208 districts / cities contributing OSR less than 20%, the independence of the fiscal arrangements areas where local 65 districts / cities accounted for 20.1% -40%, and only 17 governments can freely allocate the budget even though the districts / cities that have the ability to contribute revenue of funds came from the center unless the Special Allocation Fund over 50% of total revenue budget [1]. (DAK). To measure the degree of fiscal decentralization West That regional financial performance can be determined by Sulawesi Provincial Government can be determined by using the degree of independence of the region to measure calculating the local revenue contribution to the regional how much revenue from the region can finance the needs of revenue and contributions BHPBP of Total Revenue Regions. the region, the formula used is the proportion of revenue to For more details, the author describes below: total spending areas, the proportion of OSR on routine Under Article 1 Paragraph 15 of Law No. 17 of the State expenditures, OSR proportion of added Tax Revenue and Finance / Regional, local revenue is the right of all local Non-Tax to Total Expenditure Regions [3].

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.
