Abstract

East Java, Indonesia’s second-largest economic contributor, holds strategic potential for capital-intensive industrial transformation, particularly in its coastal regions, which are endowed with surplus electricity, natural gas, and port access. This study applies a regional input–output framework to simulate the economic impacts of infrastructure–energy integration on key sectors. Four policy scenarios are examined: business as usual, infrastructure acceleration, energy optimization, and integrated infrastructure–energy intervention, focusing on gross regional domestic product (GRDP), sectoral output, employment multipliers, and intersectoral linkages. The results indicate that the integrated scenario yields the most transformative outcomes, with GRDP growth reaching 6.7%, the highest employment multiplier of 1.45, and substantial output increases in construction (+58.65%) and manufacturing (+49.71%). These findings highlight that synchronized infrastructure and energy policies generate stronger systemic spillovers than isolated interventions, reinforcing forward and backward linkages while enhancing regional competitiveness. The study contributes to regional development discourse by providing evidence-based insights on how infrastructure–energy synergies can accelerate structural transformation in coastal East Java. Furthermore, it aligns with Indonesia’s 2025 national agenda under the Red-and-White Cabinet, emphasizing downstream industrialization, energy sovereignty, and localized resilience.

Abstract

Despite national and regional efforts to advance the green economy agenda, linkages between micro and small enterprises (MSMEs) and large industries in Indonesia remain limited. East Java, a key contributor to the national economy with a substantial base of MSMEs, reports the lowest linkage rate in the food and beverage sector, falling below the national average. This gap reflects structural, institutional, and policy challenges that hinder partnerships between MSMEs and large industries. This study aims to identify key barriers, prioritize them based on urgency and impact, and formulate optimal policy strategies to strengthen linkages between green MSMEs and large industries in East Java’s food and beverage sector. A mixed-method approach was employed, combining practitioner and expert interviews with the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Grey-TOPSIS to identify and prioritize 24 sub-barriers grouped into eight main categories. The analysis is grounded in primary data collected through focus group discussions and structured AHP questionnaires. Based on stakeholder evaluations, five policy alternatives were analyzed. Capital support and product upgrading were identified as the most effective measures to strengthen industrial linkages. The study recommends a direct approach, namely, local governments mapping green MSMEs with potential or existing ties to large industries, thereby enabling targeted interventions. For the indirect approach at the national level, fiscal and monetary instruments are proposed, including tax incentives for industries that support green MSMEs and preferential credit schemes offering low-interest financing. Additionally, collaboration through the hexahelix model, involving government, industry, academia, financial institutions, communities, and media, is essential to enhance industrial linkages and support green MSME development in East Java.

Abstract

BPS projection (2023) indicates that the proportion of elderly in East Java will rise from 15.40% (2025) to 25.41% (2050), surpassing national average. Aging population presents both challenges and opportunities, particularly in the potential of silver economy focused on production, consumption, and marketing of goods and services for elderly (60+) and pre-elderly (45–59). Without proper strategies, aging population can burden economy through declining productivity, rising health costs, and pensions. Low quality of elderly workers (formality 13.17%, senior high education 12.18%, income above 2.5 million 17.55%) and pre-elderly workers (TPAK 83.5% yet low quality) exacerbates negative impacts. Improving worker quality needs attention starting from pre-elderly phase to mitigate risks of aging population. This study analyzes Pre-Elderly Worker Quality Index and its impact on East Java’s economy using Nighttime Light (NTL) approach to reflect potential of silver economy in addressing aging population. Index construction through factor analysis of 12 variables (SAKERNAS 2021–2023) shows a shift of determinants from work conditions (2021) to digital capacity, education, and training (2022–2023), with health as consistent factor. K-Means Cluster analysis groups East Java districts/cities into two clusters: cluster 1 with limited silver economy potential (district areas including Tapal Kuda/Madura, low pre-elderly worker quality and economy) and cluster 2 with promising silver economy potential (urban/industrial, high pre-elderly worker quality and economy). Spatial panel regression (SAR-FEM) confirms significant positive effect of quality index on economic indicators (NTL, GRDP, and local revenue), while pre-elderly TPAK has negative effect, emphasizing quality over participation. NTL approach proves effective in capturing microeconomic dynamics. Recommendations include strengthening digital literacy, education, training, preventive health, job formalization, and development of industries supporting silver economy to reduce inequality and optimize sustainable economic growth.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the spatial patterns and determining factors influencing the number of Micro and Small Industries (MSIs) in rural areas of East Java Province. Using 2024 PODES data from 3,225 rural villages, a spatial econometric approach is applied through Moran’s Index, Local Indicators of Spatial Association (LISA), as well as estimations of the Spatial Autoregressive (SAR) and Spatial Error Model (SEM). The results reveal significant positive spatial autocorrelation in the distribution of MSIs, with the identification of High-High clusters concentrated in several regencies such as Pamekasan, Sumenep, and Bojonegoro. Regression model estimations indicate that the number of village markets, the presence of public transportation, cooperatives, internet signal availability, access to microcredit, and social capital are positively associated with the number of MSIs. These findings underscore the importance of local infrastructure, digital access, economic institutions, and social networks in promoting rural microeconomic growth. The proposed policy implications include the development of MSI-based cluster areas, strengthening of connectivity infrastructure, and empowerment of village-level economic institutions with a spatial focus.

Abstract

East Java, as the second-largest economy and hub of Eastern Indonesia, strives to improve its sustainable development indicators. Scholars affiliated with universities contribute to these efforts. The study aims to examine scholarly contributions indexed in the Scopus database through a critical paradigm using a bibliometric systematic review from 1994 to 2026. The study discovered that conference proceedings across various university affiliations publish the majority of articles with sustainable development keywords. The study has also found that the 231 themes are being synthesised into a 63 per cent focus on meso-macro foundational perspectives of business entities and country regulatory stakeholders and a lesser focus on micro-foundational perspectives on individual people-centred development. In addition, regarding the balance of economic, social, and environmental pillars, the study found that environmental and governance topics dominate the researcher’s interest in sustainable development in the East Java context. Unfortunately, most authors in the East Java context overlook the philosophical underpinning, political context, and social justice equity as significant topics. Thus, by suggesting critical perspectives on sustainable development, a focus on individual behaviour, and multidisciplinary aspects of research, the authors can help the East Java government expedite sustainable development through research-based policies.
