Regulations and laws in the era of decentralization demonstrate the government's political commitment to reorganizing and improving systems, mechanisms, procedures and the quality of regional planning and budgeting processes. This is done with the aim of realizing better, democratic local governance and sustainable regional development.
In the new regulations and laws, it is desirable to formulate a plan that combines a technocratic, democratic, participatory, political, bottom-up and top-down process approach. This means that in addition to regional planning, it is expected to meet the principles of systematic, integrated, transparent and accountable planning; consistent with other relevant plans; also the ownership of the plan (sense of ownership) is an aspect that needs to be considered. The involvement of stakeholders and the legislature in the planning decision-making process is very important to ensure that the plans that are prepared get optimal support for their implementation.
