This article analyses the “local turn” in refugee governance in Indonesia through a comparative case-study of two cities: Makassar and Jakarta. It compares how these two cities have responded to the obligations to provide alternative accommodation to detention, imposed upon them by the Presidential Regulation No. 125 of 2016 concerning the Treatment of Refugees (PR). While the shift to non-custodial community shelters has been widely praised, we discuss issues that arose when the national government shifted the responsibility for providing accommodation for refugees to local governments, without the allocation of the required funds. The outcome has been a general lack of engagement by local governments. By locating this case-study in the wider global trend of “local turns” in the management of refugee issues, we argue that, in Indonesia, the “local turn” in responsibility for refugees is not fostering a protection approach, but has worsened the conditions for refugees.

地方政府在印度尼西亚收容难民中的作用：调查最佳情况和最坏情况

本文通过对望加锡和雅加达两个城市的比较案例研究，分析了印度尼西亚难民治理的“地方转向”。它比较了这两个城市如何响应 2016 年关于难民待遇 (PR) 的第 125 号总统条例对他们提供替代拘留场所的义务。虽然向非拘禁社区庇护所的转变广受赞誉，但我们讨论了当国家政府将为难民提供住宿的责任转移给地方政府而没有分配所需资金时出现的问题。结果是地方政府普遍缺乏参与。通过将本案例研究定位于难民问题管理中“本地转向”的更广泛的全球趋势，我们认为，在印度尼西亚，
