Abstract: As a developing country in Southeast Asia, public private partnership (PPP) was used to procure infrastructure projects in Indonesia. However, PPP remains not optimally used to promote regional development. As a small municipality situated on Java Island, the development of an urban area of Yogyakarta has been quite rapid. Thus, it becomes the responsibility of the local government to provide services that satisfy the needs of its growing citizens. This study explores the facilitators and barriers of using PPP for Yogyakarta City as a case study for infrastructure development financing alternatives at a sub-national level. To address this research objective, this study uses a qualitative approach through a literature review and expert interviews. This study has revealed a potential project that requires a PPP scheme in Yogyakarta City. However, there are some barriers found in this study, including the unequal understanding of PPP, lengthy periods in the PPP process, conflict of interest, and land acquisition.
