The BANGKA STRAIT BRIDGE CONSTRUCTION PLAN AS A COLLABORATIVE GOVERNMENT REALIZATION

Abstract

This research was motivated by an interesting finding in the field, namely the existence of various factors that influence the implementation of decentralization and regional autonomy. One of these factors is the efforts made by the government at the regional level by collaborating between regions. Cooperation between regions or collaborative governments is a strategic step in increasing regional development. Cooperation between local governments should be able to become a solution for the government in the problem of regional limitations, both in terms of potential or limited administrative areas. This paper analyzes the plan to build the Bangka Strait Bridge as a collaborative government realization as a form of implementation of inter-regional cooperation that has been ordered by the central government. This study uses a qualitative research method approach with data techniques through literature study. Factors that influence inter-regional cooperation are the focus of this analysis, such as regional income factors, limited regional potential, globalization factors, and sectoral egos or local egos from regions within the framework of regional cooperation to achieve accelerated regional development. The results showed that the indicators of regional economic growth rate were very useful by local income factors. The plan to build the Bangka Strait bridge will connect the limitations and potential advantages of each region. Globalization indicators show that the tourism sector will be affected by globalization and the construction of the Bangka Strait Bridge. Through the efforts to build the Bangka Strait, the two governments succeeded in helping each other and trying to maximize cooperation between regions.
