This yields the results research show that the characteristics of regional heads have an influence on the investment level of a region. Apart from that, it was found that the characteristics of regional heads and investment play a role in increasing regional independence. The results of this research have the implication that every regional head needs to strengthen both professional and educational backgrounds.

In this way, regions will be able to finance their own autonomous activities, which will be followed by increased regional independence.
