<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the impact of regional expansion on the Human Development Index (HDI) in North Sumatra Province in the regencies/cities resulting from the expansion in 2001-2008. The data used includes HDI, GRDP per capita, poverty rate, and open unemployment rate (TPT) from 2012 to 2023 for the expansion areas and parent areas using panel data analysis methods. The results show that GRDP per capita and OUR have a positive and significant effect on the HDI in the split-off and parent regions, while the poverty rate has a negative and significant effect on the HDI in both regions. The implication of this study is the importance of effective resource management, poverty and unemployment alleviation, and increased investment in the education and health sectors to maximize the positive impact of GRDP on human development in North Sumatra, especially in areas that have undergone expansion.]]>
