Analysis of infrastructure and community welfare in Merauke district and Boven Digoel district

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze whether the construction of road infrastructure, sea and air transportation infrastructure, economic infrastructure, agricultural infrastructure, education infrastructure, and health infrastructure has a varied picture of improving community welfare and economic growth in Merauke and Boven Digoel Districts. This study used a qualitative approach with descriptive analysis methods. The data analyzed were secondary time-series data for 2005-2014. Secondary data sources were infrastructure development data with indicators each in BPS in two districts and Papua Province. The results showed that road infrastructure, sea and air transportation infrastructure, agricultural infrastructure with irrigation channel indicators, economic infrastructure with traditional market indicators, and education infrastructure had a positive effect on people’s welfare, but did not have a positive effect on economic growth. Health infrastructure has a positive effect on people’s welfare. Economic growth does not have a positive picture of the level of community welfare.

Determinan Kesejahteraan Masyarakat Desa Dalam Sewindu Dana Desa

“…Penelitian di Merauke dan Boven Digoel juga membuktikan bahwa infrastruktur jalan, infrastruktur transportasi laut dan air, berpengaruh positif terhadap kesejahteraan masyarakat dan juga terhadap pertumbuhan ekonomi. Infrastruktur pertanian berupa saluran irigasi, infrastruktur ekonomi berupa pasar tradisional, infrastruktur pendidikan, dan infrastruktur kesehatan memiliki pengaruh yang berbeda atas kesejahteraan masyarakat pada kedua wilayah tersebut (Djanggo et al, 2019). Penelitian yang dilakukan oleh Annawang, (2019), Marianto (2022), Sagala (2019) juga menyimpulkan bahwa pembangunan infrastruktur meningkatkan kesejahteraan masyarakat.…”

“…Berdasarkan hasil pengujian menggunakan model struktural menunjukkan bahwa pembangunan infrastruktur terbukti berpengaruh positif signifikan terhadap peningkatan kesejahteraan masyarakat. Hal ini sejalan dengan penelitian (Annawang, 2019;Djanggo et al, 2019;Marianto, 2022;Mensah, 2011;Sagala, 2019;Wiegand et al, 2017). Infrastruktur merupakan tulang punggung pada berbagai negara dan memainkan peran penting dalam mendukung pertumbuhan ekonomi suatu negara.…”
