Planning of regional development cannot be separated from the planning of national development. One of central issues in the development planning in Indonesia to this date is weak coordination and synergy of development planning at the national or regional levels. Consequently, the central government and regional government need to improve coordination and synergy ao that the development planning can effectively support integrated and comprehensive national development in achieving the purpose of the nation.
