This study analyzes the influence of Local Own-Source Revenue (PAD), General Allocation Fund (DAU), Special Allocation Fund (DAK), and Revenue Sharing Fund (DBH) on the Regional Expenditure of Jombang Regency during 2005–2024 within the context of fiscal decentralization. The urgency of this research arises from the region's high dependence on central government transfers and the need to enhance regional fiscal capacity independently. The data used are secondary time series data obtained from the Ministry of Finance and regional government financial documents. The analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression after passing classical assumption tests to ensure model validity. The results indicate that PAD has a positive but insignificant effect on Regional Expenditure, suggesting that its contribution to expenditure capacity remains limited. DAU has a positive and significant effect, confirming the dominance of central government transfers on regional spending. DAK also has a positive but insignificant effect, consistent with its predetermined usage. DBH has a positive and significant effect, providing additional fiscal space for the local government. Simultaneously, all four variables significantly influence Regional Expenditure, illustrating that Jombang Regency’s fiscal structure is shaped by a combination of own-source revenue and transfer funds. These findings also reinforce the flypaper effect phenomenon, where regional expenditure is more influenced by transfer funds than PAD. This study is expected to provide insights for local governments to enhance fiscal independence and optimize budget management.

Employment absorption serves as one of the key indicators in assessing the success of economic development within a region. A high level of employment absorption reflects a healthy economic condition, in which economic growth is capable of creating broad and quality employment opportunities. East Jawa Province became the focus of this study, as it had the lowest percentage of workers employed in the formal sector among all provinces in Java Island in 2024, amounting to 38,51%. This condition illustrates that the labor market in East Java hasn’t yet functioned optimally in absorbing the labor force. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of the Provincial Minimum Wage (PMW), Average Years of Schooling, and Economic Growth on Employment Absorption in East Java Province. The research employs a quantitative approach using multiple linear regression analysis as the analytical method. The results indicate that both the Provincial Minimum Wage (PMW) and Average Years of Schooling have a significant effect on employment absorption in East Java Province. Meanwhile, Economic Growth shows no significant effect on employment absorption.

ESTIMASI EMISI KARBON DARI KONSUMSI LISTRIK DAN SAMPAH: STUDI KASUS PASAR BULU

Yeremia Petra Sigalingging — 2026-02-03

Traditional markets play an important role in urban economic systems while simultaneously contributing to greenhouse gas emissions through electricity consumption and solid waste generation. Pasar Bulu, a major traditional market in Semarang City with high trading intensity and near-continuous daily operations, represents a significant source of urban carbon emissions. This study aims to quantify carbon emissions originating from electricity consumption and solid waste generation at Pasar Bulu and to analyze the dominant sources contributing to the market’s overall carbon footprint. A mixed-methods approach was employed by integrating quantitative measurements and qualitative analysis. Quantitative data were obtained from electricity consumption records of market facilities and traders’ stalls, as well as annual waste volume and composition data. Qualitative data were collected through field observations and in-depth interviews with 36 respondents representing academics, business actors, government officials, and community groups (ABGC). Carbon emission estimates were calculated using the IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories (2006), applying the energy sector method for indirect emissions from electricity consumption and the First Order Decay (FOD) method for solid waste emissions. The results show that electricity consumption generated 15,522.83 kg CO₂, primarily originating from centralized market installations and stalls using intensive lighting and cooling equipment. Meanwhile, solid waste management produced 1,089.66 tons CO₂ per year, dominated by food waste emissions amounting to 958.83 kg CO₂, driven by methane formation during organic waste decomposition. These findings indicate that although electricity consumption constitutes the largest source of carbon emissions in absolute terms, food waste remains a critical emission component within the waste sector. Therefore, carbon mitigation strategies in Pasar Bulu should prioritize electricity efficiency improvements alongside source-based organic waste management to support sustainable and low-carbon traditional market operations

ANALISIS BEBERAPA FAKTOR YANG BERPENGARUH TERHADAP EKSPOR CENGKEH HARMONIZED SYSTEM (HS) 0907 INDONESIA KE ARAB SAUDI

Indonesia is the largest clove producer in the world and one of the major exporters after Madagascar. Cloves grow well in tropical regions like Indonesia and play an important role in the national economy. This study uses secondary data from 1998 to 2023 obtained from the World Bank, TradeMap, FAOSTAT, and the Directorate General of Plantations, Ministry of Agriculture of Indonesia. The study aims to analyze the factors influencing Indonesia’s clove exports, classified under the Harmonized System (HS) code 0907, to the Saudi Arabian market. The method employed is a secondary time series analysis using multiple linear regression at a 5% significance level. The results indicate that international prices have a significant negative effect, while clove production has a significant positive effect on Indonesia’s clove exports to Saudi Arabia. However, Saudi Arabia’s GDP does not show a significant effect on exports to the country, nor does the Rupiah-to-USD exchange rate significantly influence clove exports to Saudi Arabia.

ANALISIS SOSIAL-EKONOMI SAMPAH PLASTIK DI PERAIRAN PESISIR TERHADAP PRODUKTIVITAS DAN KESEJAHTERAAN NELAYAN: STUDI KASUS DESA MORODEMAK, DEMAK

Yeremia Petra Sigalingging — 2026-02-02

This study aims to analyze the relationship of plastic waste accumulation in coastal waters on the productivity and welfare of fishermen in Morodemak Village, Demak Regency. Plastic waste is one of the most common forms of marine pollution found in coastal and marine areas of Indonesia, including in fishing areas, which can degrade the quality of marine ecosystems and disrupt local fishermen's fishing activities. The accumulation of plastic waste impacts fishing gear disruption, increases operational costs, and decreases catch yields, thus negatively impacting fishermen's productivity and income. This study uses a quantitative approach with surveys and interviews with fishermen in Morodemak Village, as well as statistical data analysis to examine the relationship between the level of plastic waste accumulation and catch productivity and fishermen's economic welfare. The results are expected to provide an empirical picture of the impact of marine plastic pollution on the small-scale fisheries sector, as well as recommendations for waste management policies for the sustainability of coastal fishermen's livelihoods. This study contributes to the literature on the relationship between marine pollution and the fisheries economy, as found by previous studies that showed a negative relationship between marine debris and fisheries productivity in other regions.

ANALISIS DAMPAK SEKTOR UNGGULAN DALAM PERTUMBUHAN EKONOMI KABUPATEN BREBES

Aprilia Rahmasari — 2026-02-02

Brebes Regency experiences a gap between the potential and actual performance of its leading sectors, necessitating further identification to determine which sectors truly possess comparative and competitive advantages. This aligns with Law No. 23 of 2014 on Regional Government, which states that regional development should be based on the region's leading potentials. This study aims to identify the leading economic sectors in Brebes Regency by combining Location Quotient (LQ), Shift Share, and Klassen Typology analyses, and by calculating the multiplier effect of the growth of base sectors on the region’s economic growth. The research employs a descriptive quantitative method using secondary time series data from 2019 to 2023, sourced from Central Java BPS and Brebes Regency BPS. The findings reveal that the leading sectors are Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries; Wholesale and Retail Trade, Repair of Motor Vehicles and Motorcycles; Accommodation and Food Service; Education Services; and Other Services. However, a shift is observed where the most prominent and strategic sector for the future is no longer Agriculture, but the Manufacturing Industry sector.
