The purpose of this research is to know the legal culture as the
driving factor of the realization of regional bureaucracy reform in
Indonesia. The method used is the method of normative juridical
research with conceptual approaches, legislation, and case
approach. Various cases of corruption and very bad service in
investment activities have hindered and even damaged the image
of the Indonesian nation even in today's highly dynamic world.
The bureaucratic legal culture is considered the main factor
causing such bad bureaucratic behavior. The legal culture of the
royal heritage that is only devoted to highways is difficult to
remove from bureaucratic behavior. Cultural heritage, was fertile
in the new order era, even in the current reform era. Through the
optimization of local culture combined with the autonomy and
decentralization policy implemented with the principle of
autonomy as widely as possible, it can be attempted to overcome
the negative culture of bureaucratic culture into a bureaucracy
that eventually can be realized good governance.
