ANALISIS OF ECONOMIC STRUCTURE OF REGENCIES IN ACEH PROVINCE (A CASE STUDY IN BANDA ACEH, SABANG, AND ACEH BESAR)
Abstract: This study aims at
determining the potential economic growth zones: Banda Aceh city, Sabang, and
Aceh Besar regencies in Aceh province. The economic structure concerns regional
and interregional specialization in the period of 2000 to 2006. This study combines
two research approaches both qualitative and quantitative e.g., shift-share and
regional specialization. The data used are in the form of secondary data and
are taken from the Central Beauro of Statistics and Regional Government Board
at the province and regencies or cities. The results of the shift-share
analysis are on regional growth average of the three areas. They are positive
with the highest value of Aceh Besar regency and the lowest at Sabang. For the
real impact of regional economic growth, the shift-share value is positive
during the observation period. Specialization index calculation results
indicate a decrease in the average value of specialization indexes between
regencies and cities in this region, namely from 0.065 to 0.478 in 2000 to 0.413
in 2006. Among the areas within the region it should take advantage of the
excellent potential sectors in the region when trading among the three regions
that have the strength in different commodities.
