Abstract

Economic inequality remains a persistent challenge in Indonesia’s regional dynamics, where aggregate growth does not automatically guarantee equitable development. This study examines spatial gaps, household expenditure variations, and intersectoral imbalances to assess economic equity on Belitung Island. Using a quantitative descriptive approach, the Williamson Index, Gini Index, and Shannon Entropy Index were calculated using secondary data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) for Belitung and East Belitung Regencies (2021–2025). The Williamson Index ranged from 0.084 to 0.105 with a downward trend, reflecting low interregional disparity. This aligns with the Shannon Entropy Index ranging from 0.748 - 0.770 for Belitung Regency and 0.809 - 0.829 for East Belitung Regency indicating a balanced sectoral structure. Similarly, Gini Index values (0.169–0.216 in Belitung; 0.196–0.218 in East Belitung) confirm evenly distributed household spending without extreme wealth concentration. However, contextualizing these macro-metrics with regional poverty indicators reveals a pattern of "equality in poverty," which can create interpretive bias if analyzed in isolation. Consequently, future policies should prioritize targeted public spending on high-value sectors and human capital. Furthermore, future research should integrate complementary indicators, such as the Human Development Index (HDI) and investment figures, to provide a more holistic evaluation of public well-being.   Keywords: economic inequality; williamson index; gini index; shannon entrophy index; well-being

Abstract

The development of a national-scale university in Balun Ijuk Village has concentrated student activity around the area since 2006. This study aims to explain the phenomenon of studentification in the case of the new development center. The methodology used is descriptive qualitative, supported by document review and secondary data. The analytical technique used is content analysis and data collection techniques through semi-open interviews. The results show that Balun Ijuk Village has experienced two waves of studentification. The first wave was triggered by policy interventions and road access development projects, resulting in state-led studentification. The second wave was marked by a surge in the number of students living around the campus and the acceleration of Purpose-built Student Accommodation (PBSA) housing development. In the last year, the third wave has begun, marked by the emergence of private investors with economic motives in controlling land. The studentification process has been ongoing for more than 20 years in Balun Ijuk. It's important to highlight the government's significant role in the early years, the surge in repeat student enrollment, and the influx of accommodation investors into the area. Furthermore, uncontrolled studentification could threaten the indigenous community of Balun Ijuk Village in the future.
