Abstract

This study examines the effects of road and electricity infrastructure on economic growth in West Seram Regency, Indonesia. A quantitative approach was employed using a field survey supported by a literature review. Primary data were collected through structured questionnaires, while secondary data were obtained from official government publications. The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis. The findings demonstrate that road and electricity infrastructure jointly exert a significant positive influence on regional economic growth. Improvements in transportation and electricity infrastructure enhance accessibility, facilitate the movement of goods and services, increase economic productivity, and strengthen regional connectivity. This study contributes to the limited empirical evidence on the complementary role of road and electricity infrastructure in promoting economic growth within island regions. The findings also provide practical insights for regional governments in designing integrated infrastructure investment policies to support sustainable economic growth and reduce regional development disparities.

Abstract

Poverty remains a major development challenge, particularly in geographically fragmented regions such as Maluku Province, Indonesia. This study examines the effects of economic growth, the Human Development Index (HDI), and government expenditure on poverty levels across 11 regencies/cities in Maluku Province during 2019–2023. Using a quantitative approach, this study applies panel data regression analysis estimated through the appropriate model selection procedures. The findings reveal that economic growth, HDI, and government expenditure significantly influence poverty reduction. However, the positive relationship between economic growth and poverty indicates that economic expansion has not yet generated inclusive benefits for vulnerable groups. Similarly, improvements in human development have not been fully transformed into productive employment opportunities and income enhancement. Government expenditure demonstrates an important role in reducing poverty through public investment and social development programs. These findings highlight the importance of integrated policies that combine inclusive economic growth, human capital development, and effective fiscal management to achieve sustainable poverty reduction in island regions.
