Analisis Daya Saing Wilayah dalam Mendukung Pertumbuhan Ekonomi di Provinsi Jawa Barat

Abstract

The existence of regional autonomy allows local governments to have space to develop their own regions according to their potential. This begins with conducting an in-depth study of the sectors that will be built and at the same time become development priorities in a region. This research was conducted with the aim of identifying and analyzing sectors that are the basis and non-base of prospective economics which are a reflection of the competitiveness of the regions in West Java Province, evaluating the performance of these sectors as well as identifying the problems faced until finally being able to formulate applicable policy recommendations. The research method used is a combined method, namely a descriptive quantitative method using the Location Quotient (LQ), Dynamic Location Quotient (DLQ) and Klassen Typology methods and a qualitative method using literature studies taken during the 2018-2022 period from several related agencies. Based on the calculations that have been carried out, there are four sectors that are the basis of the economy using LQ, namely the processing industry; wholesale and retail trade, car and motorcycle repair; transportation and warehousing; and other sectors. These sectors are the sectors that are the mainstay of economic growth in West Java. There are 7 sectors that are considered prospective to use DLQ, namely the agriculture, forestry, and fisheries sector; processing industry; water supply, waste management, waste and recycling; accommodation and food and beverage provision; information and communication; real estate; and educational services. Based on Klassen's typology, 7 sectors that have competitiveness include the processing industry sector and the water supply, waste management, waste and recycling sector; the agriculture, forestry, and fisheries sector; accommodation and food and beverage provision; information and communication; real estate; and educational services. Of the seven sectors, each has different constraints and problems. In order to optimize existing competitiveness, it is important to align the planning and development of prospective sectors so that they are in line with national development planning; implementation of programs and activities through collaboration and synergy with other stakeholders through the preparation and formulation of quality regulations (comprehensive and not ego-sectoral), implementing good governance and implementing incentive and disincentive systems that are relevant to the objectives and directions of the policies to be implemented; and the implementation of Continuous Monitoring and Periodic Evaluation in an integrated manner in order to strengthen the management control system and enable improvements that are more responsive to development dynamics.
