The analytical methods used were Entropy Analysis, Location Quotient ( LQ) Analysis, Shift Share Analysis (SSA), schallogram Analysis, Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and the MCDM (Multi-Criteria Decision Making) Analysis using TOPSIS (Technique for Order Performance by Similarity to Ideal Solution) . The results of Entropy Analysis showed that level of diversity and balanced economic sectors in the district of coastal areas are still low. Rate of economic growth in coastal areas was 72% of its maximum capacity. This value was lower than the development of Garut district that has a value growth 81% of maximum capacity.
