Furthermore, the data: strengthened by secondary data review of previous research results. Analyses also  combined with  data from relevant agencies. The results indicate that there is a fragmented organization network in terms of cooperation, coordination and communication amongs involved local governments in the development Mamminasata urban area, We would argue that the tendencies of respected local governments to express their own interests occurred due to the absence of cooperation and coordination mechanisms. Furthermore, ineffective communication amongs local governments led to the inconsistency of local development planning documents.
