“…The length of provincial roads decreases, and at the same time, the unemployment rate decreases. The positive association between provincial roads and the unemployment rate in this study does not contradict Peón, Rodríguez-Álvarez and López-Iglesias (2019), who analyzed that the new road developed a non-coastal economy, and Rokhmat et al (2020, pp. 72-73), who analyzed that the provincial road increased real GRDP.…”

The Indonesian government has introduced a maritime road map and policy to improve the coastal economy. Studies of the relationship between unemployment and the coastal macroeconomy are limited. This study aims to analyze unemployment as a main macroeconomic performance and problem, factors that influence unemployment, and the role of maritime policy. This study employs the student t-test and panel data generalized linear modeling. The student t-test is to compare macroeconomic performances before and during Covid-19 and coastal and non-coastal macroeconomic performances. The panel data is being used in generalized linear modeling to infer several factors, including maritime policy, that influence the coastal unemployment rate. The variables are economic growth, inflation rate, unemployment rate, real GRDP, provincial road length, number of laborers in medium and large industries, and a dummy variable of coastal and non-coastal regions as an approach to maritime policy. The data analyzed is from 2010 to 2019 in the Central Java province of Indonesia. The results show that economic growth, inflation rate, and unemployment rate are the main macroeconomic performances, the unemployment rate is the main macroeconomic performance and problem, real GRDP and inflation rate have a negative significant influence on the unemployment rate, and the length of the provincial road and the number of medium and large industries' labor have a positive significant influence on the unemployment rate. Another result is the positive but not significant dummy variable of coastal and non-coastal regions, which indicates the maritime policy role. This result is supported by additional data on interrelated policies at the Central Java Provincial Marine and Fisheries Department.

During the last few decades, the gap between the most prosperous metropolitan areas and the rural areas has widened, especially since the 2008 crisis. This gap has been particularly relevant in relation to population and employment. However, the bi-directional links in terms of population and employment between rural places and the most urbanized areas have been partly overlooked by the literature. At the same time, recent studies have brought the plight of “left-behind” areas to the forefront, highlighting rural as well as other types of “left-behind” places as focal points of discontent. In the context of the debate on left-behind areas, and in an attempt to address the decline in population and employment that they are experiencing, this article proposes a strategy based on the spatial interactions among the different types of territories. Specifically, we develop a spatial econometric model capable of testing all interactions among different territorial typologies based on their degree of urbanization. We apply the model to 278 continental municipalities in Portugal during the period 2010–8. The model estimates have implications for understanding the dynamics of territorial interactions in Portugal, highlighting the crucial role of semi-urban municipalities. The results reveal the positive and significant connections between change in employment in semi-urban municipalities and population change in both neighboring rural and urban municipalities. The findings suggest that semi-urban/rural diffusion should be promoted as a policy approach to left-behind rural places in Portugal.

There is a high expectation that urban-rural linkage in general and the function of small towns, in particular, has a great role in livelihood diversification and poverty reduction in rural areas than sectoral development. However, the previous empirical studies give little attention to the function of small towns and the livelihood diversification of rural communities. We analyze the function of a small town and participating in non-farm economic activities from a rural farm household survey of 371 farmer household heads in Ethiopia. The data was analyzed using a logistic regression model and statistical description. The study found that rural households who have road access have likely participated in none-farm activities and it has positive and significant effects. Education and FHH has also a significant relationship with the function of a small town. Distance from the small town has a significant and positive impact on the non-farm economic activities of rural communities. Overall, benefits from the function of small towns such as the provision of road access, agricultural extension, financial credit services, administrative services, educational and health services are some of the provisions of a small town. Therefore, a comprehensive integrated urban-rural linkage strategy could empower rural farm smallholders to diversify their livelihoods through strengthening small town functions is mandatory. The role of small towns needs to be integrated into rural communities. Participate in livelihood diversification strategies and achieve sustainable development goals by 2030 at large.
