The challenge of utilizing Regulatory Impact Assessment (RIA) method in the formulation of regional regulations in the disaster sector in DKI Jakarta Province

Abstract

The RIA method facilitates the structured and comprehensive development of regional regulations, including identifying issues and predicting future benefits. However, using the RIA method becomes complex when dealing with disaster situations. Reflecting on the case of the establishment of Regional Regulation No. 2 of 2020 concerning COVID-19 mitigation, the application of the RIA method by involved actors has not been optimal. This is evidenced by the weak commitment of stakeholders, limited public access, and the scarcity of human resource capacity support. Therefore, it is imperative to strengthen the commitment of regional governments' commitment to adopting an RIA-based approach in forming regional regulations. To address these challenges, certain measures can be taken.
