Kawasan khusus are formed by the central government with certain functions and in certain locations. In the perspective of the government, the agency or area manager carries out the functions of the government, especially the service function and the development function which is related to the specificity that it carries. Based on the regulations on regional government, special areas have many types, their existence also experienced various responses from the local government, some accepted some who refused and often conflict. This is due to a conflict that accompanies the implementation of a special area, the conflict can be at the usual policy level as well as in asset conflicts. Conflicts between local governments and special area managers can only be terminated if the government clarifies the authority boundaries of autonomous regions and special areas operating in the same area.
