摘要

Bureaucratic reform in Indonesia has been developed on the principles of good governance which include efficiency, effectiveness, responsiveness, accountability, and ethical conduct. In Yogyakarta Special Region, the provincial government put emphasis on improving personnel capacity and competence as well as strengthening bureaucratic codes of conduct, which paved the way for the prominence of ethical conduct principles as a key success of bureaucratic reform. The institutionalization of SATRIYA codes of conduct has therefore become provincial government's flagship program since 2008. SATRIYA codes of conduct were formally established through Governor Regulation No.72/2008 on Government Codes of conduct in Yogyakarta Special Region. It also complies with Law No.13/2012 on Yogyakarta's Special Status and Minister of Administrative and Bureaucratic Reform Decree No.39/2012 on Guides of Work Codes of conduct Development. As a set of codes of conduct, SATRIYA has been promulgated intensively in all units and levels of Yogyakarta Special Region government. The institutionalization of SATRIYA has been evaluated regularly in order to ensure its success and continuity. The institutionalization of good governance principles requires a relevant transmission media value. In conclusion, SATRIYA has a significant contribution in establishing good governance in Yogyakarta Special Region. Moreover, SATRIYA has become a model of best practice at national level.
