The relationship between the Central and local governments during an emergency has been primarily discussed at the Diet, in connection with the Constitution’s amendment, including the emergency provisions. However, opinions from the various fields are divided and discussions are typically based on whether an emergency state should be tackled principally by the Central Government or municipalities. The increasing risk of a super wide-area disaster (huge disaster) that can be expressed as national emergency state, such as the Great Nankai Trough Earthquake and large-scale flood, makes it imperative for advancing the previously mentioned discussions. It should be examined whether a state of emergency state could be managed appropriately within the administrative framework of the municipalities based on the Disaster Countermeasures Basic Act. In addition, necessary measures should be adopted within the purview of the existing laws apart from the discussions on the amendment of the Constitution. In this case, detailed discussions are needed on, for example, what kind of special rules should be established regarding the relationship between the Central and local governments. In this paper, the Great Nankai Trough Earthquake, large-scale flood in metropolitan areas, nuclear disaster, and complex disaster along with natural disaster are considered; the plans created by the Central Government in terms of the disaster prevention measures for such disasters are examined; and the items requiring special rules on the relationship between the Central and local governments are extracted from the disaster emergency measures. Furthermore, the per item application procedure of these special rules is also determined.

Rents from natural resources can alter the relationship between central and local governments by providing a new source of government financing. We develop a model to explore the relationship between fiscal decentralization and resource abundance. Our model indicates that natural resource rents can detach central government expenditures from the tax base so that the central government can spend more to persuade a fractious periphery to remain under central government control. Thus, other things being equal, higher natural resource rents can result in less decentralized government expenditures. We empirically explore the relationship between fiscal decentralization and natural resource rents using a panel of 60 countries over the past 40 years. Empirical results support our economic model: A 1% increase in natural resource rents as a fraction of gross domestic product results in government expenditures that are 0.53% less decentralized.

Indonesia in the aftermath of Reformation, the relationship between powers of central and local governments has shifted the paradigm in which the power of central government has been transferred from centralized-authoritarian to decentralized-autonomy. One of decentralized powers of local government is by providing the power to self-regulate without certain interventions from central government, including the initiative to establish bylaws (Peraturan Daerah) as the results of local autonomy.  In further development of autonomy, however, the wider decentralization and autonomy attached to local governments has been responded differently. One of such responses is the establishment of sharia bylaws in which they result in problems in the Indonesian constitutional law system. From constitutional views, bylaws in local governments other than Aceh province violate citizen’s constitutional rights by which those are not accomodated in the hierarcy of national regulations. On the other hand, however, the establishment of sharia bylaw is important as an attempt to nurture social morality. Accordingly, there should not be abandonment regarding the establishment of sharia bylaws in several local governments other than Aceh province. But, the reaffirmation is needed relating to the position of sharia bylaws in the constitutional perspective which is not only seen formally, but also materially.

Adanya desentralisasi fiskal diharapkan dapat menciptakan kemandirian daerah dan dapat mengurangi ketergantungan pemerintah daerah terhadap pemerintah pusat. Kemandirian keuangan daerah dicerminkan dengan perbandingan besarnya PAD terhadap total pendapatan daerah. Sejak 10 tahun dilaksanakannya otonomi daerah sesuai UU No 32 Tahun 2004, kemandirian keuangan daerah di Provinsi Jawa Tengah masih berada di level yang kurang baik dibandingkan dengan provinsi lainnya di Pulau Jawa. Jumlah pengangguran dan jumlah penduduk miskin di Provinsi Jawa Tengah juga masih terhitung tinggi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan dari tingkat kemandirian keuangan daerah dan tingkat ketergantungan daerah terhadap tingkat pengangguran dan tingkat kemiskinan di kabupaten/kota Provinsi Jawa Tengah Tahun 2013. Data yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah data sekunder. Metode analisis yang digunakan adalah Analisis Korelasi Kanonikal menggunakan bantuan program SPSS. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan kemandirian keuangan daerah mempunyi hubungan yang signifikan, kuat, dan tidak searah dengan pengangguran dan kemiskinan. Sedangkan hubungan antara ketergantungan daerah terhadap kemiskinan dan pengangguran mempunyai hubungan yang signifikan, tidak kuat, dan tidak searah. Peningkatan kemandirian keuangan daerah guna mengurangi tingkat ketergantungan terhadap pemerintah pusat dapat dilakukan dengan cara menggali dan mengelola sumber daya atau potensi daerah yang dimilikinya secara efektif dan efisien sebagai sumber utama pendapatan keuangan daerahnya.

<p>Indonesia implements Large-Scale Social Restrictions (PSBB) which are enforced per region based on the severity of the outbreak and the assessment is determined by the central government through the Ministry of Health. Restrictions on activities for traveling have a great impact on areas that utilize the tourism industry. Restrictions on activities lead to a decline in the economy of the community, especially in areas that rely on the tourism industry. Infrastructure has an important role in efforts to recover the economy and tourism after the pandemic. The infrastructure used as the object of research is the project Port Munjul Bias, which is one of the ongoing port projects on Ceningan Island. The purpose of the study was to look at the strategy for developing the Port Bias Munjul in the post-Covid-19 pandemic recovery. The type of research used is qualitative research with descriptive data presentation. The approach used is a SWOT analysis to see the strategy for developing the Port Bias Munjul in the midst of the Covid-19 Pandemic. The results obtained are the construction of the Port Bias Munjul in prime condition (SO), which shows that the existence of the Port Bias Munjul project will play a very important role in the recovery of tourism and the economy in Nusa Ceningan or its surroundings. Strategies that can be carried out are in the form of cooperation between local governments and the private sector, empowerment of local communities and improvement of logistical support facilities.</p>

Abstract To deal with the three universal urban water problems – namely storm floods, water pollution and water shortage – China has implemented a comprehensive solution: the Sponge City Construction Project. Sponge cities aim to reduce runoff and pollution, and also to restore downstream ecologies. They combine low impact development methods with grey infrastructures, large-scale flood control projects and rehabilitation. This paper describes Chinese experiences of construction and financing for implementation of sponge cities, which could provide references to other countries for building sustainable, climate-resilient cities and urban water management systems. It illustrates the objectives and methods of the sponge city design and demonstrates the differences in configuration and funding structures in cities of different climates and economic conditions. The total construction area involved in the pilot cities covers 449 km2. The configurations are distinct due to different economic conditions, climates and land forms: a humid district inclines to drainage-efficient approaches and pollution control devices, while a semi-humid district prefers green infrastructures and rainwater reuse facilities. The Chinese government plays an important role in the funding of sponge cities: Chinese central government provided CNY (¥)20.7 billion for the construction of 16 cities during 2015–2017, while the rest came from local governments and non-governmental investors.
