Abstract

Cirebon city as a city of culture and city of guardian has local wisdom values such as pepatah petitih (testament) of Sunan Gunung Jati. One of the most popular testaments is "ingsun titip tajug lan fakir miskin" (I entrust with the mosques and the poor) that mandates to the government of Cirebon city to realize a religious life and the welfare of society. The local visdom values is one the potentials to implement the regional autonomy, so it must be aimed to regional regulation (Perda) in order to they can color and enliven the implementation of local government in Cirebon city. However, there are few of local visdom values that can be found in the implementation of regional regulation of Cirebon city. During the reformation era, the government has made 213 regional regulation of local visdom values but five of them are only implemented. Those are regional regulation No 9 Year 2008 on RPJPD of Cirebon city Year 2005-2025, regional regulation No 1 Year 2009 on RPJMD of Cirebon city Year 2008-2013, regional regulation No 7 Year 2013 on RPJMD of Cirebon city Year 2013-2018, regional regulation No 4 Year 2013 on the Prohibition of Circulation and Sales of Alcohol in Cirebon city, as well as regional regulation No 6 Year 2009 on the Protection of Neglected Children and Children with Special Protection in Cirebon city. In the Perda on Local Government Budget made every year, the budget is used mostly not to Direct Expenditure. It means that Local Government Budget of Cirebon city is not received by society in general. It also shows that the government of Cirebon city and Local House of Representative (DPRD) have lack of storng political will to improve the welfare of society and overcome the poverty problem in Cirebon city in accordance with local wisdom values that represent the testament of Sunan Gunung jati.
