Abstract

This study examines the influence of family income, living environment, and education on poverty levels in Palopo City. Utilizing secondary data from the Palopo City Central Statistics Agency, the research analyzes the relationship between these exogenous variables—family income, living environment, and education—and the endogenous variable of poverty. The study employs panel data, combining time series and cross-sectional data, and uses quantitative analysis through path analysis to evaluate the relationships. The findings reveal that all proposed hypotheses are supported. Hypothesis 1 confirms that family income has a significant positive effect on poverty in Palopo City, indicating that lower family income levels are strongly associated with higher poverty rates. Hypothesis 2 establishes that the living environment has a positive and significant effect on poverty, suggesting that poor living conditions contribute substantially to poverty levels. Hypothesis 3 demonstrates that education also has a positive and significant effect on poverty, implying that limited educational attainment exacerbates poverty issues. These results underscore the interconnectedness of income, environmental conditions, and education in shaping poverty dynamics. The findings highlight the need for integrated policy interventions aimed at improving family income, enhancing living conditions, and increasing educational access to effectively combat poverty in Palopo City. Future research could explore other potential determinants and their interaction with these factors.

Abstract

The Tana Luwu area, which includes four districts in South Sulawesi, has a diversity of economic potential that has not been fully mapped optimally. An understanding of the leading sectors is essential to support sustainable regional economic development. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the structure and potential of the economic base sector in the Tana Luwu area using the Location Quotient (LQ) approach and Klassen Typology. The results of the study using the LQ method show the diversity of leading sectors. Luwu and North Luwu Regency place the agriculture, forestry, and fisheries sectors as the main basic sectors among other economic sectors. Palopo City places the Financial Services sector as the main basic sector among other economic sectors. East Luwu Regency places the Mining and Quarrying sector as the main basic sector, and is the only basic sector in economic activities. Klassen's Typology Analysis places several economic sectors in Tana Luwu in the developed and rapidly growing category, while other sectors are still in the developed category but are depressed, developed and left behind. These findings provide the basis for the formulation of more focused economic development policies based on the potential for local excellence.
