Abstract
The principle of regional autonomy applied in Indonesia gives the local authorities the authority to regulate and manage the interests of local communities according to their initiative based on the aspirations of the people. The authority of regional governments to regulate and manage the interests of the local community also results in the use of discretionary acts by officials in the area to solve problems that suddenly arise. However, there is no rule, given the choice or rules are not yet clear. Discretion has become a necessity. Openness and integrity are mutually reinforcing. If the regional head can understand the law as integrative law that contains the value (Pancasila), then the right products and actions resulting from the application of discretion will achieve the goal. However, with the enactment of Law No. 23 of 2014 on Regional Government and Law No. 30 on Government Administration, Discretion is arranged in great detail, so discretion loses the "spirit." Detailed restrictions on discretionary use are the characteristic of autonomous law. The conclusions from the results of the study indicate that Indonesia has not fully implemented responsive law. Supervision over the application of discretion has not been emphasized on the achievement of objectives by involving community participation.
