The state recognizes the existence of each region and at the same time maps out the existence of rights owned by regional communities that have certain boundaries and has the authority to manage their own affairs based on their aspirations.

The guarantee of recognition of the existence of the region in the 1945 Constitution of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia provides protection for the regions when the regions exercise autonomy, especially in the fair use of natural resources and other resources, this is confirmed in Article 18 paragraph (2) which states: "Relations finance, public services, utilization of natural resources and other resources between the central government and regional governments are regulated and carried out fairly and in accordance with the law ".
