Abstract

Village funds are used to improve the welfare of rural communities and develop various regions in Indonesia, including the 3T (frontier, remote, and disadvantaged) areas in Eastern Indonesia. Therefore, this study uses the Panel Least Square method to see the consequence of village, education, and health funds on poverty levels, especially in 7 provinces in Eastern Indonesia using yearly data 2017 - 2022. The realization of village funds, education funds, and health funds are used as independent variables, while the percentage of poor people is used as a dependent variable. The study results show that village fund and health fund significantly reduce poverty rates in Eastern Indonesia. Meanwhile, the education fund did not significantly reduce poverty in Eastern Indonesia. Although village and health funds can reduce poverty in Eastern Indonesia, the government should prioritize improving the education level of the region's people to significantly alleviate poverty.

Abstract

Since the reform era in 1999, Indonesia has made a regional expansion policy and widespread fiscal decentralization policy. During the 1999-2014 period, Indonesia's autonomous regions increased by 70 percent compared to the previous period. Based on the Leviathan hypothesis, the two policies should create a competitive climate and increase the efficiency of government spending. This study aims to analyze the application of the Leviathan hypothesis in the policy of regional expansion and fiscal decentralization in Indonesia. The study uses panel data regression from 32 provinces during the 2002-2020 period. The study results show that the Leviathan hypothesis does not apply to Indonesia's regional expansion and fiscal decentralization policies. This condition happened because the division of regions in Indonesia was caused more by political interests. Most regional revenues still depend on transfers from the central government. The results of this study imply that to obtain tangible benefits from regional expansion, a thorough understanding of regional economic potential is needed, and the need to improve the quality of human resources to optimally utilize regional potentials so that regional independence will be created.

Abstract

Due to the presence of a low level of urbanization in developing countries, the horizontal expansion of cities/towns is obvious and results in a rapid rate of urbanization. To monitor the horizontal expansion/growth of the Burayu town from 1986 to 2020 and forecasting by 2030, a time series and high-resolution aerial and satellite images were used. Besides, GIS tools and techniques were applied to organize and analyze the data. Results indicate that the town of Burayu horizontally expanded by 6,331 Ha from year 1986 to 2020; and will expand doubly by 2030.To monitor the growth/ expansion of towns and cities of the urban extent, the town administration and decision-makers should promote; the compact city and mixed-use principles, as well as the regional planning approaches.

Abstract

The research aims to analyze: (1) the basic sector and regional specialization of regencies/cities in West Timor, (2) the impact of center and hinterland interactions on regional leakage in regencies/cities in West Timor. The research was carried out in 5 regencies and 1 city in West Timor. The research uses secondary data and primary data (obtained using the snowball technique). The research results state that interactions occur due to the existence of basic commodities, but not necessarily regional specialization. The research results also found that there was a leak from the Hinterland area to the center in West Timor of IDR 757,606,232,- because the benefit center was IDR 1,164,004,961,- while the hinterland benefit was IDR 406,398,729,-. Belu Regency is the regency that received a surplus (IDR 44,746,514). Therefore, each district/city is obliged to determine base commodities and strive for specialization so as to obtain a surplus from center-hinterland interactions.

Abstract

There is an ongoing debate in the field of minimum wage literature, with different theories predicting varying impacts on employment. According to neoclassical theory, when the minimum wage increases and becomes binding, employment decreases. However, the monopsony labor market theory predicts that minimum wage can increase employment. Empirical examination in Indonesia has yielded mixed results, depending on the data and empirical model specification. Our study used panel data of regencies/cities in Java Island between 2017 to 2021 period and the fixed effect estimation method. We found that the minimum wage can increase employment in the formal sector, but the effect diminishes as non-compliance increases. This suggests that the benefit of a minimum wage in protecting workers depends on enforcement and that weak enforcement and setting a minimum wage too high may cause more non-compliance, which could harm formal employment. Keywords: Minimum wage, Compliance, Employment

Abstract

Despite the large value of GRDP and investment at province level, the level of employment and income distribution still tends to fluctuate. The study aims to analyze the effect of development and investment in the agricultural sector on employment in the agricultural sector and income distribution. The type of this research is descriptive-quantitative using secondary data. This study uses multiple linear regression analysis of panel data. The analysis is divided into two models, the first model analyzes the impact of development and investment in the agricultural sector on employment in the agricultural sector, while the second model analyzes the same variables on income inequality. The results of the first model show that the development of the agricultural sector has a significant and positive effect on employment in the agricultural sector, while investment in the agricultural sector has an insignificant on employment in the agricultural sector. The results of the second model show that the development of the agricultural sector has a significant and negative effect on income inequality, while investment in the agricultural sector has an insignificant effect on income inequality. The implication of the results is that the government should maintain and improve the quality of the agricultural sector by implementing policies that encourage agricultural productivity and carry out equitable development of facilities and infrastructure to support agricultural activities in remote areas.

Abstract

Owning residential property with ideal location, physical characteristics, neighborhood, legal documents, amenities, proximity to public services, etc., on a housing development requires consumers to have the ability and willingness to pay for such attributes. However, the cost is relatively high while the budget is often restricted. In Special Region of Yogyakarta, housing backlog is caused by supply and demand gap for mid-cost housing, limited capacity of developers, and low housing affordability for low-income people. This research aims to analyze the influence of social stratification on consumer preference for mid-cost housing on housing developments and on non-clustered housing areas (on which the houses are not constructed by a single developer) as well as the desired attributes of mid-cost housing. This research employed descriptive and inductive statistics with chi-square test. Test of independence was used to analyze the variables to determine whether social stratification influences consumer preference for mid-cost housing on both areas. Purposive sampling was employed with a sample size of 220 respondents. The result showed H0 was rejected as χ² = 12.35 > χ² α; (r-1)(c-1) = 5.991, meaning social stratification influences consumer preference for mid-cost housing on both areas. The desired attributes included location, physical characteristics, legal documents, neighborhood, and amenities. In order that residential areas may contribute to regional development, it is important for the local government to implement relevant policies and mortgage financing policies as well as provide supporting infrastructure and facilities for its development.

Abstract

Prevalence of Undernourishment (PoU) is an indicator that measures the achievement of the 2nd goal of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) agenda. Ideally, Indonesia as an agricultural country is able to guarantee the availability of food supplies and people's access to nutritious food products becomes easier. However, since 2018-2022 the prevalence of undernourishment (PoU) in Indonesia has continued to increase from year to year. Therefore, this study aims to determine the factors that influence the level of Prevalence of Undernourishment (PoU) in Indonesia through food expectations, producer price index, food security budget, people's purchasing power and social assistance in the food sector. The novelty of this research is to try to trace the relationship between the dimensions of food quality, fiscal policy, price policy and people's purchasing power to the prevalence of undernourishment in Indonesia. To achieve this goal, a multiple regression analysis method was used with secondary data from 2011-2022 or the period before and after the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) agenda in Indonesia. The results of the study show that the producer price index, food security budget and people's purchasing power have a significant effect on the level of Prevalence of Undernourishment (PoU) in Indonesia. Meanwhile, food expectations and social assistance in the food sector have no significant effect on the level of Prevalence of Undernourishment (PoU) in Indonesia. Implication of this research, the government needs to evaluate various food security programs in order to maximize the reduction of the prevalence of undernourishment (PoU) in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study identifies and assesses the impact of transfers to regions, local-own source revenue (Pendapatan Asli Daerah, PAD), gross regional domestic product, population, and construction cost index (CCI) on fiscal stress in regencies / cities in Maluku Province in 2015-2022. The data was obtained from Statistics Indonesia and Directorate of Financial Balance of the Ministry of Finance, analyzed quantitatively using panel data regression analysis and a fixed effect model obtained through Hausman test. The results indicate that the transfers to regions and PAD have a negative and significant impact on the fiscal stress, in contrast to the CCI. They suggest that higher transfers to regions and PAD would decrease the fiscal stress, and the CCI was a determinant in the local expenditure to increase regional growth and community services. The stress caused by limited PAD might be alleviated by the availability of potential regional resources and readiness of human resources.

Abstract

East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) Province is a strategic area bordering Timor-Leste, with significant potential in agriculture and trade. However, NTT faces food insecurity issues, reflected in high poverty rates and malnutrition prevalence, making it the province with the highest malnutrition rate in Indonesia. This study uses Multiple Linear Regression Method to analyze the impact of climate change, accessibility, education, agricultural diversification programs, and community participation on food security. A sample of 150 farmers from Kupang, South Central Timor, North Central Timor, Belu, and Malaka districts was randomly selected. The results show that these five variables significantly affect food security in NTT, both partially and simultaneously. Strategic recommendations include adopting climate change adaptation programs, improving accessibility, education, agricultural diversification, and strengthening community participation in decision-making processes.
