  Abstract. Interregional cooperation is a strategic approach to addressing cross-boundary development challenges, particularly in supporting the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This study aims to examine the opportunities and challenges in implementing the Grebang Ratubangnegoro Kertowilangan cooperation, which involves 11 regencies/cities across East and Central Java. The research employs a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method, by collecting and analyzing relevant academic articles from Google Scholar and other sources. This study is grounded in the Intergovernmental Relations theory by Agranoff and Radin (2014), which emphasizes the importance of collaboration and coordination across multiple levels of government in managing modern governance complexities, using five core principles as the analytical framework. The findings show that this cooperation has significant potential to accelerate infrastructure development, improve public service efficiency, and enhance regional economic competitiveness, especially in relation to SDG 11 and SDG 17. However, the initiative still faces major challenges, including weak institutional coordination, differing regional priorities, and limited resources. Therefore, strengthening institutional frameworks, establishing a joint secretariat, and integrating SDG indicators into interregional planning are recommended as strategic steps toward more effective and sustainable cooperation.

This study aims to describe and analyze: the effectiveness of the implementation of the Revenue and Expenditure Budget policy and the implications of the implementation of the Regional Budget and Expenditure policy in Lumajang Regency. The data analysis technique uses the technique developed by McNabb (2002), namely Grouping the data according to key constructs, Identifying bases for interpretation, Developing generalizations from the data, Testing Alternative interpretations and Forming and/or refining generalizable theory from case study. The results of the study show that regional financial policies in Lumajang Regency, especially the policy of increasing Regional Original Revenue (PAD), are inseparable from the Central Government's policies in the framework of financial relations between the Central and Regional Governments. Meanwhile, the Lumajang Regency Government's policies to increase Regional Original Revenue (PAD/Pendapatan Asli Daerah) include: Digitalization to increase the efficiency and transparency of financial management, Adjustment of regional taxes and levies, Re-collection of taxpayers, Cooperation with the private sector and NGOs in the management and collection of regional taxes and Improvement of regional tax management management. The model of the implementation of the Regional Original Revenue (PAD) policy implementation model in Lumajang Regency is Top Down. The Government of Lumajang Regency, East Java is committed to continuing to encourage an increase in Regional Original Revenue (PAD). The contribution of Lumajang Regency's PAD in 2024 compared to the APBD (Anggaran Pendapatan Belanja Daeerah) structure only reaches 16 percent, so that to meet the needs of the expenditure budget in the APBD budgeting structure, it still depends on transfer funds, To reduce dependence on transfer funds, the government is optimizing regional tax revenues, especially from the Rural and Urban Land and Building Tax (PBB-P2). The implication is that to increase regional tax and levy revenues, efforts are needed to increase production and business capacity in the regions. Increasing production capacity and business activities is an important factor to increase regional tax and levy revenues. In addition, it is also necessary to increase the capacity of regional tax administration as one of the requirements to increase tax capacity and effort in the regions (taxable capacity and tax effort).

This study analyzes the legal responsibility of road organizers, legal protection for road users, and public participation in the maintenance of provincial roads in East Java. The background of this research is the significant road damage, covering 154 kilometers, which impacts the safety of road users and the smoothness of socio-economic activities. This research is based on Law Number 22 of 2009 on Traffic and Road Transportation (UU LLAJ) and Law Number 38 of 2004 on Roads, which regulate the obligation of road organizers to ensure safe and adequate infrastructure. The research method used is a juridical normative approach with an analysis of legislation, using primary and secondary legal materials, with data collected through library studies and deductive analysis. The results show that the government is legally obligated to repair damaged roads, place warning signs on roads that have not been repaired, and allocate funds to prevent traffic accidents. However, various challenges such as limited budgets and geographic conditions affect the implementation of these obligations. Additionally, the Citizen Lawsuit mechanism grants the public the right to sue negligent organizers. This study recommends strengthening road maintenance management based on risk, improving transparency and accountability, and empowering the public to ensure safe roads that support regional economic growth.

This study examines how the policy environment surrounding the regional development planning process starts with development plan deliberations and how much of the publicity spirit is actually there. The degree to which the development plan's deliberative process actually creates a public forum for people to voice their goals and to what extent these objectives constitute a study of publicness. Community compliance is a visible aspect of the policy environment. Decision making regarding regional development policies and initiatives is known as regional development planning. The development planning meeting is the most crucial step. The meeting serves as a means to communicate the goals and objectives of the community, including various stakeholders. Thus, the degree to which the public's sentiment and the policy environment favourably impact the follow-up to the outcomes of the "musrenbang" is one factor that influences the effectiveness of the Musrenbang. This study, which used a qualitative descriptive methodology, was carried out in a number of East Javan villages that served as samples for the three political divisions in the area. This study is backed not only by primary data but also by secondary data from other studies and publications. . This study concludes that the regional development plan has not fully reflected the real value of publicness, and the policy environment is still not conducive to the completion of the regional development plan that is actually able to realize the objectives of regional development, which in turn can foster regional competitiveness.
