Determining The Centers of Economic Growth And Regional Development Using Scalogram Analysis (An Empirical Study In West Halmahera Regency, Indonesia)

Abstract

Each region has potentials and economic advantages that can be used as the source of its regional growth. The capability of each region to promote its own growth depends on its economic competitive advantages. This study is aimed to determine the centers of economic growth and regional development in West Halmahera Regency in the North Moluccas Province. The data used for analysis is secondary data which were collected using documentation method and internet browsing. The method of analysis used is scalogram analysis. The results show that among 9 subdistricts observed in this study, only 4 have the highest scores for socioeconomic infrastructures completeness. The subdistrict located in the central administrative area is the center of growth or growth pole, and the other 3 subdistricts act as the buffer areas. Based on scalogram analysis results, it is found that the growth of each subdistrict is relatively similar, with only 1 subdistrict that shows a relatively more advance growth in Hierarchy II with the highest Index of Subdistrict Growth (ISG) at 21.3433. The other 8 subdistricts are underdeveloped regions within Hierarchy III with the variable Index of Subdistrict Growth (ISG).

Examining growth centers and agricultural base commodities to enhance regional development in Tanjung Jabung Barat Regency, Jambi Province

“…Tebing Tinggi District and Merlung District are identified as secondary growth centers, corresponding to the third hierarchy. This aligns with research conducted by Jacob and Hasan (2016), which found that almost all of the nine sub-districts studied were in the third hierarchy. The third hierarchy describes an area with a low level of development and a relative scarcity of service facilities, situated far from the sub-districts activity center (Anwar et al, 2022).…”

Spatial Interaction Between Regions: Study of the East Kalimantan Province, Indonesia

“…Determining the growth poles is a serious concern and is needed to encourage the sustainability of economic growth between regions [42]. For this reason, there is a logical demonstration, and rationality of the analysis used (Klassen's Typology and Gravity Index) is needed to answer the study problem.…”

Optimizing Electric Motorcycle-Charging Station Locations for Easy Accessibility and Public Benefit: A Case Study in Surakarta

“…Several studies use scalogram analysis to determine service centers in an urban area [22]. In the cited authors' research, a linear programming method is used to design the optimal location selection model for the construction of charging stations.…”
