Abstract

Regional autonomy must be understood as a process of democratization, open the space of democratic governance, responsive to the public interest, and maintain decision-making mechanisms that adhere to the principle of public accountability. But behind the above advantages, there are some disadvantages, such as excessive aspiration can lead to disintegration, which causes conflict of interests is growing, particularly conflict of using the natural resource. Water use disputes of the Udanuwuh village and the Dlingo village is an example of conflict of using water resources not only between people in two villages, but involves two regencies, namely Boyolali Regency and Semarang Regency. This study shows that the solution of the conflict depends on the role of mediator, the pattern of negotiation, legal certainty, and coordinative functions of governments.
