Abstract

Micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) play an important role in national and regional economic growth. Nevertheless, household food-product MSMEs in South Central Timor Regency continue to face various constraints that hinder improvements in competitiveness, including weak financial recordkeeping, limited production technology, low workforce knowledge, limited business capital, suboptimal product quality standardization, and inadequate business legality. This study aims to: (1) identify and analyze the factors affecting the competitiveness of household food-product MSMEs in South Central Timor Regency based on the Porter Diamond Model; (2) formulate alternative strategies for developing the competitiveness of household food-product MSMEs in South Central Timor Regency based on SWOT analysis; and (3) determine the most appropriate priority strategies for developing competitive household food-product MSMEs in South Central Timor Regency using the AHP method. A mixed-methods approach combining qualitative and quantitative approaches in a single study was employed through questionnaires and interviews with 56 MSME respondents (determined using Slovin's formula) and five expert respondents purposively selected based on their competence and experience in developing household food MSMEs in TTS Regency. The Internal Factor Evaluation (IFE) matrix yielded a total score of 2.686, while the External Factor Evaluation (EFE) matrix yielded 2.695, placing TTS MSMEs in Cell V (hold and maintain) of the IE matrix. The SWOT analysis produced nine alternative strategies. The AHP analysis identified business legality as the most influential factor (weight: 0.242), with the highest-priority strategy being to build customer trust through legally compliant products (weight: 0.220). These findings offer practical recommendations for the Local Government, MSME actors, and future research. This study also makes a scholarly contribution by integrating the Porter Diamond Model, SWOT, and the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) in formulating strategies to develop the competitiveness of household food MSMEs, an approach that has rarely been applied in previous studies in South Central Timor Regency.

Abstract

Background Telecommunication accessibility is a key driver of inclusive development, particularly in Indonesia’s 3T (Disadvantaged, Frontier, and Outermost) regions, where geographical isolation and infrastructure limitations constrain economic opportunities. To reduce the digital divide, the Indonesian government has prioritized national programs such as the Palapa Ring and the deployment of Base Transceiver Stations (BTSs). This study examines how these initiatives influence telecommunication accessibility and local economic dynamics in East Nusa Tenggara (NTT). Methods This study employed a qualitative case study approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with local government officials, telecommunication providers, community leaders, and end users, complemented by field observations and document analysis. The data were analyzed thematically to identify access conditions, structural challenges, and local economic responses to telecommunication development. Results The findings indicate that expanding fiber-optic networks and BTS infrastructure has improved basic connectivity and reduced isolation in several 3T areas. Improved access supports micro, small, and medium enterprise activities, enhances access to digital education, and enables emerging digital-based livelihoods. However, benefits remain uneven due to persistent last-mile connectivity gaps, unstable network quality, low digital literacy, and limited affordability. Conclusions Telecommunication infrastructure development in 3T regions is necessary but insufficient for inclusive local economic growth. Integrating infrastructure expansion with digital literacy programs, affordability support, and targeted last-mile interventions is essential to maximize socio-economic benefits.

Abstract

Oetune Beach and Kolbano Beach are types of natural tourism in South Central Timor Regency that have potential resources in the form of uniqueness and natural beauty. This study aims to identify factors that influence visitor demand using linear regression analysis and determine the economic value of the two attractions based on individual travel cost analysis (Individual Travel Cost Method/ITCM). Sampling was done using non probability sampling method form of accidental sampling technique on 120 respondents. The results showed that the variables of distance, time and income had a significant effect on Oetune Beach visits with a total economic value of Rp. 140,332,307,667/year, while Kolbano Beach showed that distance, time, education and transportation costs had a significant effect with a total economic value of Rp. 128,566,261,440/year. e first letter of the word phrase.
