Internship at ITB, Indonesia – A Joint Research on Inter Local Government Cooperation in Urban Infrastructure Asset Management

Planning and Management System, Department of Urban Management, Graduate School of Engineering
Place of stay: Bandung Institute of Technology, Indonesia
Term: March 10 – March 21, 2010
[Backgrounds] Decentralization euphoria in Indonesia, after decades of the centralistic era, has resulted in the rise of local leaders. This implies the complexity of a decision-making process for public policy in a municipal level. However various regulations related to regional governance stipulate the basic concepts of interregional infrastructure asset management. One of the principles of the regulations is the role of provincial government to initiate coordination among municipalities. In some cases, infrastructure assets are used not only by users in a particular region, but also by users in other regions. This issue needs to be elaborated, especially to motivate cooperation among local governments. This includes studies as well as research on government's role sharing and measurement of externalities as an impact of asset development.

[The Internship] I did my internship on the theme of Inter Local Government Cooperation in Urban Infrastructure Asset Management. Its objectives were to set up a research project on inter local government cooperation in infrastructure asset management in Indonesia, and to collect information on road pavement asset management in Indonesia. I visited Bandung Institute of Technology, from March 10 to March 21, 2010 and had a discussion with Dr. Miming Miharja about setting up a joint research project.
