    abstract = {This study used mix-method-sequential explanatory design with the analytical construction of
quantitative-qualitative combination that supports the analysis. Quantitative approach was first applied with
survey method and questionnaires as instruments to identify factors affecting the strengthening of sub-district
power as well as the society’s response and perception toward sub-district functions. It was further
investigated by qualitative approach to discover structural problems thoroughly. Qualitative data with interview
method and focused group discussion were used for validation. Samples were obtained through multistage
sampling including those of regions and individuals. In the initial phase, samples of sub-districts were selected
based on purposive technique those with “Customary village” are taken as the analytical units. The result of
the study shows that, the delegation of authority has been executed, yet it has not been optimum (60.40%). The
functional implementation of the head of sub-district (Camat)’s duties is still considered inadequate, except for
public service and village government supervision. On the other hand, the functions of sub-district appear to
run smoothly (77.10%), particularly in terms of coordination with the regional work unit. In the “loading factor”
model, coefficient value of each manifest-variable lies between 0.431-0.928 intervals with p<0.10.}
