Abstract

Purpose: This study examines the impact of road infrastructure development on local business growth in Nduga Regency, Papua Highlands, Indonesia, and explores community perceptions of its economic benefits and its sustainability. Research Methodology: A qualitative descriptive approach, complemented by quantitative analysis (Likert scale), was used to gather primary data from 30 respondents in the Kenyam District, including micro and small entrepreneurs, traders, and community members. Five key informants from the Regional Public Works Agency (PUPR), Bappeda, and community leaders provided additional insights through interviews. Secondary data were obtained from official statistics and government documents from 2019 to 2024. Results: The results show consistently high community ratings across all economic impact indicators, with 83.33% of respondents rating income improvement as "very good," followed by market expansion and trading fluency at 80.00%. Key informant interviews confirmed that road development reduced the prices of basic goods, facilitated trade, and created new business opportunities. Despite these improvements, 79.4% of regency-level roads remain unpaved, and income gains are constrained by limited capital and incomplete road access. Conclusions: The study concludes that road infrastructure is a significant catalyst for economic growth but requires complementary investments in village roads, capital access, and the inclusive participation of Indigenous communities. Limitations: This study had limitations, such as a small sample size and reliance on self-reported data. Contribution: This study provides insights for policymakers and highlights the challenges faced by Indigenous Papuans, offering a foundation for future research on infrastructure development in underserved regions

Abstract

Purpose: This study examines the factors influencing regional development planning performance in Nduga Regency, focusing on the contribution of planning document consistency, integration, and quality (RPJMD, RKPD, Renstra OPD, and Renja) to overall performance. Research Methodology: A quantitative approach was used, with primary data collected through structured questionnaires from 56 respondents across 28 regional government organizations in Nduga Regency. Data were analyzed using structural equation Modelling (SEM-PLS) with WarpPLS 8.0 software. Results: Internal factors—document quality, process effectiveness, resource commitment, and implementation readiness—had a significant positive effect on planning performance (P<0.01; R²=0.608; f²=0.608, large effect). External factors had a positive but non-significant effect (P=0.08; R²=0.179; f²=0.179, medium effect). Planning document consistency and quality contribute significantly to performance but underperform because of a disconnect between planning documents and budgeting instruments. Conclusions: Internal capacity and document alignment are key determinants of planning performance. Despite challenges such as geographical isolation and security disruptions, the main issue lies in limited human resource competence and weak coordination between planning and budgeting in the health sector. Limitations: The study's sample size is relatively small, consisting of only 56 respondents from 28 regional government organizations, which may limit the generalizability of the findings of this study. Additionally, the research focuses solely on Nduga Regency, a single urban area, and may not fully reflect the diverse challenges faced by other regions in the country. The study also did not account for potential biases in the data collection process, such as respondent perception or external variables not included in the model. Contribution: This is the first SEM-PLS study on regional planning performance in Nduga Regency, offering insights into the impact of internal constraints on planning in such regions.
