The impacts of infrastructure development on economic growth (case study: DKI Jakarta, Banten Province and West Java Province)

Abstract

Abstract This research investigates the impacts of infrastructure development on economic growth. The scope of this study includes all regencies and cities in three provinces, namely West Java, DKI Jakarta, and Banten. These provinces are chosen because of their strong connection between economic activities and infrastructure. The method combines the analysis of regional economic growth with regional infrastructure development. Regional economic growth in every city/regency of the three provinces is measured by the Share of GDP, Human Development Index (HDI), and Head Count Index (HCI) of poverty. Infrastructure is defined by transportation (road), sanitation, electricity, clean water, educational facilities, medical facilities, and waste infrastructure. This research uses multiple regression to analyze the impact of infrastructure indicators on regional economic growth. This research is expected to contribute to science, especially in the area of Regional and City Planning. The results of this research are infrastructure indicators with significant impacts on economic growth indicators, both positive and negative.
