Metode yang digunakan adalah metode analisis kualitatif deskriptif dan kuantitatif dengan analisis regresi. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa PMA, PMDN, infrastruktur listrik, IPM, sektor industri, dan sektor jasa yang berpengaruh positif signifikan, infrastruktur jalan dan sektor pertanian tidak berpengaruh pertumbuhan ekonomi Banten Utara. Sementara itu, sektor pertanian, dan sektor jasa berpengaruh positif signifikan, PMA, PMDN, infrastruktur jalan, listrik, IPM, sektor industri tidak berpengaruh terhadap pertumbuhan ekonomi di Banten Selatan.

The method that used in this research is a descriptive qualitative analysis and quantitative using regression analysis. The outcome of this research found that foreign direct investment (FDI), domestic direct investment (DDI), electricity, human development index (HDI), industrial sector, service sector have positive and significant effect toward economic growth but road infrastructure and agriculture sector did not have effect toward economic growth in North Banten. On the other hand agriculture sector and service sector have a positive significant effect, FDI, DDI, road infrastructure, electricity, HDI, industrial sector did not have effect toward economic growth in South Banten. Some policies that can be iplemented to reduce the imbalance of economic growth in Banten is to develop investment interest, infrastructure, and quality of human resource and maximize the best production sector.

Judul: Posisi Filogenetik Kura-Kura Carettochelys Insculpta  (Reptillia: Testudinata)
Abstrak: Carettochelys insculpta is an endemic freshwater turtle of southern Papua and northern Australia. Phylogenetic position of this turtle is remain unresolved until now. Most of the research conducted show close relationships of C. insculpta and members of Trionychidae family. However, some of the research show distance between C. insculpta and members of Trionychidae family. This research is conducted to analyze phylogenetic relationship between C. insculpta and other members of Testudinata using 12S rRNA, 16S rRNA, and both gene as markers. DNA samples were obtained from three different organisms of C. insculpta. Two species used as outgroups were Alligator mississippiensis and Iguana iguana. Phylogenetic analysis was carried out using Neighbor-Joining method with Felsenstein 1981 (F81) modeltest. A polytomy tree of Testudinata was produced by using 12S rRNA gene. However, analysis using 16S rRNA and both genes as markers confirmed that C. insculpta was located between the Chelonidae and the Trionychidae family.
