Analysis of On-Street Parking Governance as a Source of Local Own-Source Revenue in Banyumas Regency

Local Own-Source Revenue (Pendapatan Asli Daerah/PAD) is a key indicator of fiscal autonomy for local governments in the era of decentralization. One potential yet persistently problematic source of PAD is on-street parking fees. This article aims to analyze on-street parking issues in Banyumas Regency from the perspectives of public economics and public sector governance, as well as to examine their implications for optimizing local revenue. This study employs a qualitative approach, utilizing a literature review and content analysis of parking policy phenomena as reported by mass media, which are then contextualized through relevant theories and empirical findings from academic journals. The analysis reveals that parking-related problems in Banyumas are not merely technical in nature but are deeply structural, encompassing weak incentive systems, limited oversight, and insufficient integration with urban transportation policies. The study concludes that governance reforms in the parking sector—grounded in principles of economic efficiency, transparency, and public accountability—are essential to enhance the contribution of parking revenues to PAD while simultaneously improving the sustainability of public service delivery.
