Judul: Pemekaran Wilayah Analysis And The Development Of Centrals Of Economic Growth (A Study At Baubau City South Sulawesi Province And Tasikmalaya City West Java Province).
Abstrak: Decentralization and regional autonomy are important issues since the prevailing of Act No. 22, 1999 revised by Act No. 32, 2004 on Regional Government. Decentralization and regional autonomy through the implication of pemekaran wilayah has encouraged demand from other areas to have pemekaran wilayah due to the gap and inequality felt by those areas regarding development results. A centralistic governmental system has made local areas under developed. Therefore, many areas has demanded for pemekaran wilayah in order to accelerate development and reduce developmental gap among areas. Pemekaran wilayah as a phenomenon of the formation of provinces, regencies and cities has created differences among areas. There are areas with population/activities concentrated in certain area known as cities, centers of trade, centers of industry, industrial knot, urban areas or nodal areas. There are also, however, areas with less concentration known as hinterland, agricultural area, and rural area. The creation of nodal areas is not only in provincial level but also in the level of regency/city. Regency has wide area and divides into two administrative areas, municipality and regency. The rural area (municipal) is made as the central of economic activities (central of growth) and regency area is the hinterland. The research aims to: 1) evaluate the implementation of Government Regulation No. 78, 2007 on the Procedures of Areas Establishment, Removal and Merger especially factors used to assess proposal of pemekaran wilayah at Baubau and Tasikmalaya Cities; 2) analyze the development of economic structure of Baubau and Tasikmalaya Cities and their leading sectors that become their economic competitiveness thus they will have potential to become the centrals of growth compare to their surrounding areas; 3) analyze the regional development, economic interaction and attraction of Baubau and Tasikmalaya Cities toward their surrounding areas; 4) analyze stakeholders’ perception and formulate beneficial policies for government after the pemekaran wilayah. Methods used in the research are: 1) descriptive analysis, 2) Schallogram Analysis, 3) Gravity Model Analysis, 4) Klassen Typology Analysis, 5) Entropy Diversity Analysis, 6) Shift Share Analysis, 7) Location Quotient Analysis, and 7) Process Hierarchy Analysis. Research results show that: evaluation on eleven assessment factors of pemekaran wilayah proposal based on Government Regulation No. 78, 2007 using analytical hierarchy process shows priorities differences on eleven factors of the formation of new autonomy area based on Government Regulation No. 78, 2007 with the perception of societies at Baubau and Tasikmalaya Cities. Regional economic structure of Baubau and Tasikmalaya is more advanced and developed than the hinterlands. It is indicated by the result of entropy diversity analysis. Result of Klasen Typology Analysis shows that Baubau City is within the classification of fast growing area along with its hinterlands, which are Wakatobi and North Buton Regencies; whereas, Muna Regency is within the classification of advanced but depressed area and Buton and Bombana Regencies are within the viii classification of relatively underdeveloped areas. Result of Klasen Typology analysis shows that Tasikmalaya City is within the classification of fast growing area and its hinterlands are within the classification of relatively underdeveloped areas. Result of Location Quotient Analysis shows that the economic sector of
