In the economic development of a region, there needs to be attention in developing sectors that have the potential and also have good growth. This study aims to identify the economic sectors included in the progressive sector. This research uses secondary data in the form of Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) of Bolaang Mongondow Regency and North Sulawesi Province in 2013-2017 and will then be analyzed using the Location Quotient method and Shift Share analysis. The results of the study concluded that there are five economic sectors which are the base sectors namely the Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries sectors; Mining and Excavation sectors, the Electricity and Gas Procurement Sector, Real Estate Sector and Education Services Sector. However, only the Mining and Excavation sector has a progressive growth rate and competitive advantage. As for the Agriculture position itself, it has a non-progressive growth rate and lacks a competitive advantage. In addition, there are four sectors namely the Construction sector, the Wholesale Trade, and Retail; Car and Motorcycle Repair sectors; The Financial Services and Insurance sectors and the Government Administration, Defense, and Social Security sectors are required to be able to move progressively even though those sectors are not included in the base sector.

Mandar River is an important cultural entity for the Mandar community in West Sulawesi, in fact, faces threats such as floods and landslides. To support the government's efforts in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals  (SDGs), the management of Mandar Watershed needs to integrate the ecological, economic, social, institutional, and technological dimensions. This study aims to: (1) measure the status of the sustainability of the Mandar Watershed; and (2) identify the factors that influence the sustainability of the Mandar watershed management. This  research used the method of observation, interviews, documentation study, and literature review. Data analysis used a descriptive analysis approach and Multidimensional Scaling (MDS) analysis with analysis tools suc as rapfish  /  rapDASMandar.  The  results  showed  that  the  sustainability  status  of  watershed management in the ecological dimension was quite sustainable; on the social and institutional dimensions, it is categorized as less sustainable; and in the economic and technological dimensions, the upstream and middle Mandar sub-watersheds are categorized  as less sustainable. The multidimensional sustainability status of Mandar watershed management is categorized as less sustainable. There are 13 factors that need attention to improve the sustainability status of Mandar watershed  management, especially in the technological, institutional, and social dimensions.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pendapatan dan kelayakan usaha padi ladang berdasarkan sistem budidaya pertanian yang dijalankan oleh petani yang ada di Desa Tampalang, Kecamatan Tapalang, Kabupaten Mamuju. Pelaksanaan kegiatan penelitian mulai tahap observasi, pengumpulan data, hingga penulisan laporan kurang lebih selama 5 bulan (Juni-November 2021). Data yang dikumpulkan dalam penelitian adalah data primer dan data sekunder.  Data primer diperoleh dari hasil observasi dan wawancara langsung terhadap petani responden dengan bantuan instrumen quesioner, sedangkan data sekunder diperoleh dari berbagai instansi pemerintah yang terkait. Teknik analisis data mengunakan pendekatan deskriptif kuantitatif, dimana data kualitatif dibutuhkan untuk menjelaskan aspek non finansial, sedangkan data kuantitatif dibutuhkan untuk aspek finansial dan kelayakan usaha yang didapatkan dengan menggunakan rumus matematis.

This study aims to determine differences in nutrient levels in the manufacture of compost from rice straw waste with Trichoderma sp. activator. to the value of the C/N ratio and the nutrients N, P, K. The superiority of Trichoderma sp. Among others, it is easy to apply, does not produce toxins, is environmentally friendly, does not disturb organisms in the soil and does not leave residues in plants or soil. In making compost in compost tanks, the use of Trichoderma sp with a combination of ash and lime (JKAL) can increase the content of C-Organic, N-Total, Phosphorus and Potassium with respective values ??of 20.34%, 0.90%, 0 , 40% and 0.40%. The lowest C/N content was shown in the use of Trichoderma sp added with Ash (JAL) which was 22.0. In the treatment of making compost in containers, the use of Trichoderma sp with a combination of ash and lime (JKAD) was able to increase the content of C-Organic, N-Total and Phosphorus and was able to reduce the value of C/N with an average value of 19.8% respectively , 21.67%, 0.18% and 21.67%. The highest average value of Potassium (K) content shown in the JAD treatment was 0.46%.
