Abstract

This study aims to identify and verify growth centers in South Buru Regency through the integration of three analytical methods: scalogram, Marshall Centrality Index, and gravity analysis. Using secondary data from 2023, this study examines the completeness of facilities, the weight of supporting infrastructure, and the spatial interactions occur between districts. The results indicate that Namrole District stands out as the primary growth center with the most complete facilities (30), the highest infrastructure weight (888.90), and the strongest interaction with Leksula District (510,712.95). This study also higlights Kepala Madan District and Leksula District as secondary growth centers. The multi-method integration provides a more solid and comprehensive basis for identifying growth centers, especially in island regions such as South Buru Regency. The results suggest several policy implications, including strengthening infrastructure in Namrole District, improving economic corridors, and developing local potential-based economic clusters.

Abstract

based Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in South Buru Regency as an archipelagic region of Indonesia. This study employed a qualitative case study approach supported by descriptive quantitative data. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and participant observation involving 25 women MSME actors in Labuang Village, Namrole District. The findings reveal that women play a dominant and strategic role not only in production activities, particularly in trade and fisheries, but also in controlling key resources such as finances, production tools, and savings. Financial control emerges as a critical factor in ensuring MSME sustainability. Notably, in the specific context of Labuang Village, patriarchal structures commonly reported as barriers to women’s access and participation do not fully apply. Instead, women demonstrate a high degree of agency in managing both enterprises and household resources. Nevertheless, persistent challenges remain, including limited access to formal financing, which leads to reliance on informal moneylenders, as well as the dual burden arising from domestic responsibilities. This study underscores that empowering women in local resource-based MSMEs is a crucial strategy for fostering inclusive and sustainable economic development in South Buru Regency. Accordingly, this study recommends the formulation of holistic, women-centered policies that encompass inclusive access to capital, managerial and digital skills training, and the strengthening of social networks to further optimize women’s strategic roles in local economic development.
