Masalah desentralisasi di Indonesia berkaitan dengan pengalihan urusan ke daerah yang dimaknai dan diwujudkan dalam pembentukan organisasi perangkat daerah melalui regulasi lokal. Organisasi perangkat daerah yang dibentuk belum sepenuhnya mengakomodir prinsip dan karakter desentralisasi. Sebagai kota periphery dari Jakarta, kota Tangerang dijadikan sebagai city example. Organisasi Perangkat Daerah dianalisis dengan mengadopsi konsep hirarkhi proses kebijakan dari Broomley, berfokus pada analisis tiga level pelembagaan regulasi, regulasi nasional pada level makro, regulasi daerah pada level meso dan mikro. Soft Systems Methodology (SSM) digunakan sebagai analisis metodologi karena bersifat holistic serta pendekatan kualitatif dengan sumber data melalui wawancara terhadap beberapa key informant.
Kesimpulan penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pada level makro, analisis penataan ulang pembentukan organisasi perangkat daerah mengisyaratkan perlunya merevisi Undang-Undang tentang Pemerintahan Daerah dan Peraturan Pemerintah terkait muatan tentang kelembagaan organisasi perangkat daerah dengan mempertimbangkan kebutuhan Kota. Pada level meso, penerapan desentralisasi dilakukan dengan mengubah Peraturan Daerah sesuai dengan UU dan PP; pada level mikro-1, organisasi efektif dapat terbentuk apabila SKPD mampu bersifat adaptif, pimpinan yang memiliki kapabilitas dan kapasitas kompetensi dan manajemen kerja yang didukung SDM aparatur. Pada level mikro-2, peningkatan efektifitas organisasi dapat terbentuk apabila dilaksanakan optimalisasi struktur, tugas pokok dan fungsi organisasi yang adaptif terhadap kebutuhan lingkungan.
