KAJIAN INDEKS DAYA SAING DESA DAN KELURAHAN DI PROVINSI JAWA TENGAH

Abstract

Village development positions the village as the subject of development. Competitiveness is defined as the ability to achieve the absolute development goals a village must have to realize the village development policy. The limited size of competitiveness to the village level shows the urgency of establishing these indicators. This study aims to establish a village competitiveness index (IDD) and its comparability to kelurahans. Composite index formation refers to the Handbook on Constructing Composite Indicators: Methodology and User Guide compiled by the OECD. This index covers 5 dimensions and uses 2014 Village Potential data (PODES). This study produces IDD that is positively and significantly correlated with the 2014 Village Development Index (IPD). Villages and Kelurahan are grouped into 3 namely low, medium and high competitiveness. To help the analysis, the authors use the help of thematic maps, spider charts and box plots. In this study, it was found that villages and sub-districts in the highlands tend to be categorized as low competitiveness. In addition, villages and kelurahan with low competitiveness are concentrated in many districts such as Purworejo, Rembang, Wonosobo, Blora, and Wonogiri. Village characteristics have low economic and health dimensions.
