Adhering to the principle of decentralization, like in the administration of government in Indonesia, hands over power to the regional
head to carry out regional autonomy, the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia. The regional autonomy law has undergone several
changes after the promulgation of the Regional Government Number 23 of 2014. With this regional autonomy, it is hoped that it will open
up opportunities for each region to be more capable of empowering all the potential that the regions and communities have in realizing
the welfare and progress of their regions. For this reason, the expansion of Sebatik Island is highly expected by residents on the island so
as to facilitate several matters such as administrative processes, health services and so on. In this study the authors collected data
through questionnaires, observations and documentation on Sebatik Island. Based on the results in the sebatik island law, it is
appropriate for the formation to be carried out because the requirements for formation have been met, which are the aspirations of the
sebatik community and the potential for regional potential that is sufficient. So that the implementation of the formation of the
autonomous region of the Sebatik Island in accordance with statutory regulations and the aspirations of the community have been
fulfilled. Those related to human resources, infrastructure, and capital in the formation of the Sebatik Island Autonomous Region are not
yet adequate
