The sample comprises 64 respondents: farmers, plantation workers, livestock breeders, civil servants, entrepreneurs, and laborers. The data analysis technique employs multiple linear regression, assisted by the SPSS program. The results indicate that simultaneously, the variables of social environment, business capital, and entrepreneurial knowledge significantly influence entrepreneurial interest, with a significance value of 0.000.
