Abstract

Sustainable economic development requires financing instruments that not only promote economic growth but also ensure social justice and equitable welfare distribution. In the context of a Muslim-majority country such as Indonesia, zakat and Islamic finance possess strategic potential to address these challenges. Although the growth of Islamic financial assets and national zakat collection has shown a positive trend, both sectors are still managed relatively separately, resulting in suboptimal synergy. This study aims to analyze the potential and mechanisms for integrating zakat and Islamic finance in supporting sustainable economic development. This research adopts a qualitative approach with a descriptive-analytical design, employing policy document analysis, official institutional reports, and in-depth interviews with zakat managers, Islamic financial institutions, zakat payers (muzakki), and zakat beneficiaries (mustahik). The data were analyzed using content analysis and thematic analysis to identify integration patterns, impacts, and implementation challenges. The findings indicate that Indonesia has substantial potential to integrate zakat and Islamic finance through productive zakat management within Islamic financial institutions, particularly in the form of microfinance, business mentoring, and the utilization of digital technology. This integration contributes to increased income among beneficiaries, strengthened microenterprise independence, and expanded financial inclusion for vulnerable groups, which aligns with the objectives of sustainable development. The implications of this study highlight the importance of strengthening Islamic financial literacy, enhancing inter-institutional coordination, and providing adaptive regulatory support to ensure that the integration of zakat and Islamic finance functions optimally as an instrument of sustainable and equitable Islamic economic development.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of capital expenditure, farmers’ terms of trade, and economic growth on the Human Development Index (HDI) across regencies and cities in Jambi Province. The study employs secondary panel data covering 11 regencies/cities over the period 2020–2024, obtained from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) and the Directorate General of Fiscal Balance. The analytical methods include descriptive analysis and panel data regression using the Pooled Least Squares (PLS), Fixed Effect Model (FEM), and Random Effect Model (REM). Model selection was conducted through the Chow test, Hausman test, and Lagrange Multiplier test, which indicate that the Fixed Effect Model (FEM) is the most appropriate specification. The estimation results reveal that capital expenditure, farmers’ terms of trade, and economic growth jointly have a significant effect on HDI. Partially, farmers’ terms of trade and economic growth exhibit a positive and statistically significant effect on HDI at the 10 percent significance level, while capital expenditure shows no significant effect. These findings suggest that improvements in farmers’ welfare and regional economic growth play a crucial role in enhancing human development, whereas the effectiveness of capital expenditure allocation requires further evaluation to generate a more tangible impact on human development outcomes.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of village fund utilization in supporting rural economic development through infrastructure development in Lembang Rantedada, Mengkendek District, Tana Toraja Regency, Indonesia. The study employed a mixed-method approach by combining quantitative and qualitative methods. Quantitative analysis was used to evaluate the effectiveness of village fund disbursement based on the ratio between realized village funds and the total allocated funds, while qualitative data were obtained through interviews with village officials to examine the contribution of infrastructure development to rural economic development. The findings indicate that village fund realization exceeded the initially reported allocation during the 2019–2023 period, with effectiveness ratios ranging from 120.27% to 635.16%. The qualitative findings further indicate that infrastructure development, particularly roads and bridges, improved community mobility, accessibility to urban and market areas, and the distribution of agricultural products. These improvements contributed to the continuity of local livelihoods and supported rural economic activities. The study implies that village funds can serve as an important instrument for promoting rural economic development when effectively directed toward infrastructure that responds to community needs. Strengthening transparency, accountability, participatory planning, and the managerial capacity of village governments is essential to ensure that village fund utilization generates sustainable and inclusive economic benefits.

Abstract

This study examines the effects of human development, investment, unemployment, and poverty on regional economic growth across regencies and municipalities in Jambi Province. The study employs a quantitative approach using secondary data obtained from Statistics Indonesia (BPS), covering eleven regencies and municipalities during the 2021–2025 period, resulting in 55 observations. Multiple linear regression analysis was conducted using IBM SPSS Statistics. Regional economic growth was measured by the annual growth rate of Gross Regional Domestic Product, while the Human Development Index (HDI), Gross Fixed Capital Formation (PMTB), Open Unemployment Rate (TPT), and poverty rate were employed as explanatory variables. The results indicate that HDI, investment, unemployment, and poverty have no statistically significant individual effects on regional economic growth. Simultaneously, the model is also statistically insignificant, with an F-statistic of 1.689 and a significance value of 0.167. The coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.119 indicates that the explanatory variables account for 11.9% of the variation in regional economic growth. These findings suggest that improvements in human development and socioeconomic conditions alone may not immediately translate into stronger regional economic growth. The effectiveness of human development may depend on complementary factors, including productive employment, infrastructure, technological development, sectoral productivity, and effective capital utilization. The study highlights the importance of integrating human development with broader structural economic policies to promote sustainable and inclusive regional growth.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the development of key human development indicators in Jambi Province from 2017 to 2024, including the Human Development Index (HDI), Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) per capita, Labor Force Participation Rate (LFPR), Open Unemployment Rate (OUR), and the poverty rate. Using panel data regression across districts and cities in Jambi with EViews 13, the study examines the influence of economic and labor variables on the HDI. The results show that GRDP per capita and OUR have a positive and significant effect on the HDI, indicating that higher income and workforce participation improve overall living standards. Conversely, poverty has a significant negative effect, while LFPR shows no significant impact, suggesting that labor quantity is not yet supported by sufficient quality and productivity

Abstract

The main objective of this research is to analyze and empirically test the influence of household income on the level of community welfare in Pungut Hilir Village, Kerinci Regency. Welfare is measured as a multidimensional concept encompassing the fulfillment of basic needs, access to health and education, and housing conditions. The research uses a quantitative approach with an explanatory research method. The research population consists of all 299 Heads of Households (KK) in the village, and the sampling technique employs a census, meaning the entire population serves as respondents. Primary data was collected through questionnaires and analyzed using simple linear regression analysis. The results indicate that there is a positive and significant influence of household income on community welfare. The resulting regression equation is Ŷ = 45.120 + 0.008X, meaning that for every increase in income of IDR 1,000,000, the welfare index increases by 8 points. Statistical test results strengthen this finding with a t-count value of 21.524 (sig. 0.000) and an F-count value of 463.270 (sig. 0.000). The coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.612 indicates that the income variable can explain 61.2% of the variation in welfare, while the remaining 38.8% is explained by factors outside the model. The research conclusion affirms that household income is a key determinant of material welfare, but achieving holistic welfare requires integration with policies that strengthen non-economic dimensions, such as education, health, and social capital.
