	abstract = {Infrastructure plays an important role in building the health of a country{\textquoteright}s economy. Indonesia, a country of seventeen thousand islands, relies on infrastructure largely unimproved since built centuries ago. The Dutch ruled Indonesia for almost 350 years and most of the infrastructure systems in Indonesia were built during the Dutch occupation. When Indonesia regained its independence in 1945, the road and water supply systems remained the same as when they were first built. Despite many efforts initiated to improve Indonesia{\textquoteright}s road and water supply systems, their quality has never met the standards and demands driven by the population{\textquoteright}s growth. Regardless of the abundance of money allocated to financing infrastructure development, the systems have never been established as expected. Only one-third of the total population enjoy good road and water supply systems. Institutional development is the most critical issue in Indonesia{\textquoteright}s infrastructure development. The central government{\textquoteright}s excessive power has eradicated all efforts to build adequate infrastructure systems. The strong centralized system is not congruous with the nature of Indonesia as an archipelagic state and as a multiethnic nation.},
