Toincrease the role of the sub-district head in its area, the local government of Depok did some empowermentefforts. The research aims to analyze the sub-district head empowerment done by the local government ofDepok by doing case study in three sub-districts in Depok, i.e. Beji, Sukmajaya, and Pancoran Mas. Theparadigm of the research is positivistic with qualitative technique of data collecting thorugh in-depth interviewand literature study. The result of the research shows that the empowerment done by the local governmentof Depok is not optimal.
