Abstract

Indonesia’s pursuit of sustainable development—integrating economic, social, and environmental dimensions—remains challenged by persistent regional disparities. In 2022, only four of seven national priority indicators were achieved, while 21 provinces failed to meet more than three targets. To capture these disparities more precisely, this study applies hierarchical and non-hierarchical clustering to classify 34 provinces based on seven development indicators. The comparative approach enhances robustness: hierarchical clustering reveals inter-provincial linkages, while non-hierarchical clustering improves internal consistency. Validation tests identify Ward’s method as optimal, yielding four distinct clusters. Cluster 1 includes four eastern provinces with multidimensional inequality—high stunting (31.43%), early marriage (10.37%), and low literacy (36.44%). Cluster 2 comprises 20 provinces with structural stagnation, marked by persistent stunting (24.80%) and reliance on primary sectors. Cluster 3 consists of seven industrial provinces with strong economic performance (manufacturing 33.59% of GDP) and improving social indicators. Cluster 4 includes three service-based provinces excelling in social outcomes—lowest stunting (13.07%) and highest literacy (78.46%)—but facing environmental challenges. These findings highlight the urgency of region-specific, evidence-based policy interventions to promote equitable and sustainable development.

Abstract

This paper aims to examine the significance of minimum service standards (MSS) in moderating the influence of local spending on poverty in various Indonesian districts. This study analyzed 2,072 observations from 148 districts in 2011-2024 using moderated regression analysis (MRA) and STATA 17. The study results show that MSS, which strengthens the influence of local spending on poverty, confirms that its interaction with local spending has a greater impact on poverty. MSS, as both a policy instrument and an administrative action, can reinforce the smoothness and success of program achievements while also encouraging the success of public services. When MSS is subjected to incorrect criteria and mismanagement, its potential to enhance success transforms into an administrative trap that results in the failure of public services at the local government level. Future research can increasingly focus on the various dimensions of MSS in public services, examining both its role as a moderator and its role as an independent variable.
