<![CDATA[This study aims to identify priority sectors for regional development that support sustainable development in Jember Regency, as well as formulate spatial utilization strategies based on poverty criteria. The method used is the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), which involves four main criteria, namely economic, environmental, regional spatial planning (RTRW), and socio-demographic aspects. Data were obtained from questionnaires distributed to stakeholders such as Bappeda, regional apparatus, academics, and the community. The results of the analysis show that the agricultural sector has the highest weight (0.269), followed by tourism (0.212), organizations (0.183), industry (0.169), and trade and services (0.168). These findings indicate that development must start from sectors that support basic needs and ecological sustainability, namely agriculture, which is also the backbone of the local economy and food security. Policy recommendations include strengthening spatial planning institutions, protecting agricultural land, developing ecotourism, sustainable housing, and empowering MSMEs and traditional markets. The results of this study are expected to be the basis for formulating balanced, participatory, and sustainable regional development policies by the principles of the Spatial Planning Law and Sustainable Development Goals.]]>
