The policy has influenced and changed the institutionalization/institution of between Central and Regional Government. Meanwhile, the implications that appeared towards the institutionalization of the regional government, amongst others, were the occurrence of less harmonious work relations between provincial and regency/city governments. Another implication that was also very important to be further observed was the institution of District that has become one of regional apparatus organizations since the implementation of Law. District seems have no important roles and functions like they had before. The main cause of this condition was about delegation of authority. Therefore, this descriptive case study was conducted.
