Abstract

As an archipelagic and developing country, Indonesia faces complex and persistent poverty challenges that hinder both societal welfare and provincial economic growth. This study aims to examine the factors influencing tourism and assess efforts to reduce poverty through economic growth. Using panel data from 34 provinces in Indonesia for the period 2016 to 2024, the analysis applies a random effects regression model. The results show that domestic tourist arrivals, international tourist arrivals, occupancy rates of starred hotels, and occupancy rates of non-starred hotels exert a positive and significant effect on poverty. In contrast, economic growth does not significantly influence poverty and does not function as a mediating variable. To sustain increases in tourist arrivals both domestic and international the government should enhance promotional efforts for Indonesian tourism and strengthen support for regional tourism development. Moreover, providing subsidies and improving access to business loans for hotel operators can help expand their operational capacity. Finally, the government needs to improve the competence of tourism stakeholders through well designed and effective education and training programs.

Abstract

Village Funds are a fiscal policy instrument designed to promote local development and stimulate economic growth through various categories of village expenditure. However, their effectiveness in fostering economic growth and the mediating role of the Human Development Index (HDI) remain insufficiently explored in Aceh Province, Indonesia. This study examines the effects of Village Fund expenditures on village governance, village development, community development, community empowerment, and disaster management on the HDI and economic growth. It also investigates the mediating role of the HDI in the relationship between Village Fund expenditures and economic growth. Using panel data from 23 regencies and municipalities in Aceh Province over the period 2015–2024, this study employs panel data regression using the Random Effects Model (REM), followed by the Sobel test to assess the mediation effect. The empirical findings indicate that expenditures on village governance, community development, community empowerment, and disaster management have significant positive effects on the HDI. However, the HDI does not have a significant effect on economic growth and does not mediate the relationship between Village Fund expenditures and economic growth. These findings suggest that Village Funds may contribute to economic growth primarily through direct channels, particularly expenditures on community development and community empowerment. Therefore, Village Fund management should prioritize productive investment programs that enhance community capacity, strengthen local economic resilience, and support sustainable local development.
