Abstract
Digitzing the bureaucracy is the governments strategic agenda to improve the efficiency and quality of public services, but its implementation faces challenges in underdeveloped regions which still have limited digital infrastructure, fiscal capacity and quality of human resources. The government's physical budget cuts have the potential to hamper the development of basic networks, data centers and technological facilities that are the foundation of digital services. The imbalance between digitalization ambition and regional capacity shows that the principle of distributive justice in budget allocation is not yet optimal, so that the risk of being digitally left behind is greater for regions that depend on central fiscal support. This analysis confirms that the success of bureaucratic digitalization is very dependent on infrastructure readiness, human resource capacity and the stability of regional financing. Physical budget cut policies need to be formulated proportionally so as not to widen disparities in public services and ensure they are inclusive and sustainable throughout Indonesia.
