PENGAMBILAN KEPUTUSAN LINGKUNGAN DALAM SISTEM DESENTRALISASI : HASILKAN KEPUTUSAN YANG MEMIHAK LINGKUNGAN

Abstract

The environmental decision making process under Indonesian decentralization system is examined with a case study of industrial estate expansion in Semarang municipality. Industrial estate expansion is an example of local environmental case which is a highly economic case. A more sustainable environmental decision making process is an unattainable outcome of decentralization yet. Although decentralization legally and administratively has been implemented, BAPEDAL of Semarang municipality as the local environmental institution in practice does not able to cancel or at least to delay the expansion of industrial estate, which at the same time potential to result in a wider environmental impact. Transferring power, eliminating institutional conflict and developing a more transparent framework for environmental decision by introducing public involvement are three main recommendations to improve environmental decision making under decentralization system at local level
