The Sub-District Government Is Taking Care of The State Border Area in Indonesia: A New Breakthrough but Its Authority Is Limited So That the Border Area Has Not Been Able to Develop (Study in Ketungau Tengah and Hulu Districts, Sintang Regency, West Kali

Abstract

The sub-district government which is located in the border area of Indonesia with other countries in the legislation takes care of the state border area. This is a new breakthrough that is very good for the development of sub-district areas located on the border of Indonesia. This study analyses the problem of the authority of the sub-district government in managing the state border area by taking place in the Districts of Ketungau Tengah and Hulu, Sintang Regency, West Kalimantan Province, Republic of Indonesia, which is analysed using normative research methods. From the results of the research, it is concluded that the sub-district government in the state border area has a strategic role in the development and community services as well as monitoring the security of the Indonesian territory. However, the sub-district government as a leader in the state border area has limited attribution and delegation authority so that the face of the region has not attracted world attention. Authority is part of the law so that to realise good law it is necessary to have clear and firm authority about what, who, where, when and how the authority is thought of and formulated in legislation.
