Abstract

This study evaluates the impact of sustainable independent oil palm cultivation on rural development in the Angkola Sangkunur sub-district, South Tapanuli Regency, Indonesia. The research focuses on five key aspects: legal, technical cultivation, environmental management, labor, and institutional factors. Data was collected through a combination of primary and secondary sources, with primary data obtained via questionnaires distributed to a probability-based sample of 165 respondents. The analysis employed multiple linear regression to assess the influence of each aspect on regional development, with hypotheses tested using both F-tests and t-tests. The results reveal that the technical cultivation and institutional aspects exert a significant positive influence on rural development, underscoring the critical role of advanced agricultural practices and strong governance structures. While legal and environmental management aspects also have positive effects, their impact was not statistically significant, indicating that these factors may require further development or longer timeframes to manifest significant outcomes. Conversely, the labor aspect showed a negative but statistically insignificant effect, suggesting that the costs associated with implementing sustainable labor practices may pose challenges for smallholder farmers. This study concludes that enhancing technical capabilities and institutional frameworks offers the most immediate and substantial benefits for rural development in the region. However, a holistic approach that also addresses legal, environmental, and labor issues is essential for achieving long-term sustainability. The findings provide valuable insights for policymakers, stakeholders, and researchers focused on sustainable agriculture and rural development.

Abstract

This study examines the comparative performance of three major asset classes—Bitcoin, gold, and the S&P 500—in addressing inflation and global economic dynamics from 2013 to 2024. Using historical data, the research analyzes price changes, trading volume, and value growth for each asset. Bitcoin recorded extraordinary growth of 8,518.54%, reflecting its widespread global adoption as an innovative digital asset. The S&P 500, a benchmark for stock market stability, achieved cumulative growth of 224.68%, while gold, a traditional safe-haven asset, saw moderate growth of 42.85%. To assess Bitcoin’s future potential, price projections were conducted using the Location Quotient (LQ) method with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 51.81%. These projections estimate that Bitcoin's price could reach $755,417.95 by 2029, making it a highly promising long-term investment. However, Bitcoin's high volatility remains a key challenge for investors. This study also links asset performance to inflation rates in Indonesia, as reflected in the 58.82% increase in rice prices over the same period. Findings indicate that Bitcoin not only preserves wealth against inflation but also offers significantly higher profit potential compared to traditional assets. This article aims to provide insights for investors in formulating optimal portfolio diversification strategies by weighing the strengths and risks of each asset in the context of the digital age and evolving global economy.

Abstract

This study explores the existing conditions and development potential of Kisaran City, Asahan Regency. The analysis includes land use patterns, conformity evaluation with the Regional Spatial Plan (RTRW), and the impact of natural disasters. SWOT analysis and the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) were used to identify the priority of spatial planning concepts in regional development. The results indicate that Kisaran City is still dominated by plantation land with potential risks of fire and flooding. There are discrepancies with the RTRW regarding development that does not align with government predictions. AHP results show the highest priority on decentralization concepts followed by functional integration and growth centers. Recommendations include revisiting the RTRW, strengthening community roles in supporting the economy and tourism, enhancing infrastructure in densely populated areas, and developing growth centers in residential areas with space for new infrastructure. This study provides a comprehensive overview to support structured and sustainable regional development planning for Kisaran City.
