Abstract

This research investigates the convergence of the urban regional economy in North Sumatra from 2018 to 2022, employing a quantitative and descriptive approach to analyze the factors influencing the Regional Gross Domestic Product (GRDP). Data, derived from the Central Statistics Agency (CSA), encompasses eight cities: Sibolga, Tanjungbalai, Pematangsiantar, Tebing Tinggi, Medan, Binjai, Padangsidimpuan, and Gunung Sitoli. The study focuses on three independent variables—population (X1), Human Development Index (HDI) (X2), and Open Unemployment Rate (OUR) (X3)—aiming to understand their simultaneous and partial effects on GRDP. Hypotheses are formulated, indicating the anticipated influence of each variable, with the null hypothesis positing no significant effect. Utilizing eViews version 12 for panel data regression analysis, the results reveal that collectively, Population, HDI, and OUR significantly influence GRDP in the urban regions of North Sumatra. However, when analyzed individually, only HDI and TPT exhibit significant impacts, while Population does not. This suggests that the quality of human development and the unemployment rate play pivotal roles in driving economic convergence. The findings contribute to a nuanced understanding of the convergence dynamics in the cities studied, emphasizing the importance of targeted policies to foster inclusive and sustainable economic growth in the region.

Abstract

Village development in Indonesia is one of the main focuses in an effort to strengthen the national economy and achieve equitable development. The research method uses descriptive qualitative with data collection of interviews and documentation. The results showed that the development of adequate infrastructure, access to education and health services, as well as local economic empowerment through tourism and agriculture sectors are crucial factors in advancing villages in Indonesia. Fiscal decentralization policies and village fund programs implemented by the central government have had a positive impact on village development, although challenges remain in terms of implementation and sustainability at the local level. The study also found that active community participation and cooperation between the government, local communities, and the private sector are critical to achieving successful village development. Recommendations include improving the management capacity of village governments, strengthening collaboration between various stakeholders, and developing local innovations that are relevant to the village context. This research provides important insights for policymakers and practitioners in designing more effective interventions for village development in Indonesia.
