Abstract

Pangkalpinang City is one of the municipalities in Indonesia that was planned to transform into a developed urban environment by 2030. To help achieve the city’s development goal, this study presents an analysis of the spatial structure of the urban service center of Pangkalpinang City, which comprises the Rawa Bangun, Gedung Nasional, Masjid Jamik, Pasar Padi, and Bintang sub-districts, using Kevin Lynch’s image-forming elements, that is, path, edge, district, node, and landmark. A qualitative descriptive method was used to interpret users’ spatial experiences through field observations and supporting secondary data. The results show that the urban service center area is shaped by a complex hierarchical path, natural and artificial edges, diverse functional districts, many nodes in the form of intersections, bridges, a public transport terminal, and ten cultural and non-cultural landmarks. These findings highlight how Pangkalpinang City’s spatial structure and functional patterns may interact to support the city’s public services, and they can guide future spatial planning of the city towards a more integrated and citizen-friendly city.

Abstract

Economic inequality remains a persistent challenge in Indonesia’s regional dynamics, where aggregate growth does not automatically guarantee equitable development. This study examines spatial gaps, household expenditure variations, and intersectoral imbalances to assess economic equity on Belitung Island. Using a quantitative descriptive approach, the Williamson Index, Gini Index, and Shannon Entropy Index were calculated using secondary data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) for Belitung and East Belitung Regencies (2021–2025). The Williamson Index ranged from 0.084 to 0.105 with a downward trend, reflecting low interregional disparity. This aligns with the Shannon Entropy Index ranging from 0.748 - 0.770 for Belitung Regency and 0.809 - 0.829 for East Belitung Regency indicating a balanced sectoral structure. Similarly, Gini Index values (0.169–0.216 in Belitung; 0.196–0.218 in East Belitung) confirm evenly distributed household spending without extreme wealth concentration. However, contextualizing these macro-metrics with regional poverty indicators reveals a pattern of "equality in poverty," which can create interpretive bias if analyzed in isolation. Consequently, future policies should prioritize targeted public spending on high-value sectors and human capital. Furthermore, future research should integrate complementary indicators, such as the Human Development Index (HDI) and investment figures, to provide a more holistic evaluation of public well-being.   Keywords: economic inequality; williamson index; gini index; shannon entrophy index; well-being
