Abstract: The rapidly growing metropolitan region has experienced intensive land- use conflicts among all activities, e . g. housing, manufacturing enterprises, agricultural land, upland forest reserves, urban infrastructure, etc. These severe competing and often incompatible land uses have brought about environmental problems that can no longer be solved on an ad hoc basis . While land use and environmental problems have spread throughout the whole JABOTABEK region, complex patterns of responsibility among levels of government and government agencies make (spatial) planning, policy- making, and decision-making on land use and environmental issues complicated and ardors . This study is concerned with investigating possible alternative metropolitan administrative structures to provide a more appropriate institutional framework for managing rapid urban growth in JABOTABEK and, particularly, for dealing with land use and environmental problems in urban fringe areas of the region. This study established a conceptual model to identify metropolitan powers (i.e . planning, regulatory, taxation, and development powers) and necessary conditions (i.e . political will, cooperation of all level governments and among agencies, and public participation) needed by a metropolitan government . In determining appropriate governmental/administrative structures for JABOTABEK, this study developed Territorial and Functional Model. Based on this model, there are several possible alternative administrative arrangement : (i) Fragmented Administrative Structure, (ii) Metropolitan Council, (iii) Umbrella Advisory Agency, (iv) Umbrella Agency/Consolidated Umbrella, and (v) multipurpose Metropolitan Government. Subsequently, this study analyzed the pros and cons/advantages and disadvantages of each alternative by confronting the possible alternative structures with (i) problems of implementation, (ii) metropolitan powers, and (iii) JABOTABEK ‘ s socio-political- cultural- legal environment. Finally, this study recommended
