To measure systematically performances of public service in local governments, this paper develops a analytical framework by modifying the SERVQUAL model.

This level of perceived service quality is differentiated to its 5 traits of local government -governmental level, population, region, and amounts of expenditure per one person and numbers of public employee per one thousand person. In addition to, it is found that determinants of service quality and its impact to citizen satisfaction is decided to traits of local government. As a result, it imply for public manger to consider the strategy of performance improvement adapting to its traits of local governments.
