The purpose of this paper is to identify problems and construct a conceptual model related to the local fiscal health condition. The local fiscal health condition is highly dependent on many factors, indicating that local finance is a complex, systemic and unstructured process. The main emphasis in this research is that the researchers attempt to explore the problem situation with the interpretive and naturalistic approach toward the local fiscal health condition and to study, understand, and interpret the meaning of phenomenon. This study uses a soft system methodology (SSM) that is a systemic approach to describe unstructured issues with a structured approach. The successful conceptual model constructed in this research is the survival mechanism of revenues and expenditures model. The results of this study indicate that the main problem of fiscal health condition is from both revenues and expenditures. Revenues problem is indicated by the low local fiscal independence, while expenditures problem is by the high indirect personnel expenditures. The location taken as the unit of analysis was Bondowoso Regency, East Java, Indonesia with the consideration that Bondowoso Regency is one of the four underdeveloped regencies in East Java Province.

This paper discusses the analysis of local government financial capacity for equitable development in its territory. Autonomy requires local governments to improve their abilities in various matters, such as organizational, financial, and political. Financial capacity is the key to achieving local government performance. Limited financial capacity results in an imbalance in the distribution of development. Budget allocations meet complicated conditions to maintain equitable development in all territories. The local government within the Indonesian archipelago faces great challenges to minimize regional disparities. "Success to the successful" (Kim & Anderson, 1998) is an archetype that illustrates this reality. Local government budgets behave in trade-offs, between the mainland and the islands area negating each other in their allocations. Affirmations in one area result in weaker allocations in other areas. The dilemma is that local governments are committed to eliminating regional disparities but are not supported by adequate financial capacity. Low financial capacity causes a monopolistic pattern. If an entity leads, then the entity will be easier to continue to lead and improve its performance, while other entities remain underdeveloped.
