MODELING URBAN STRUCTURE AND ACTIVITY THROUGH THE CLOCKBOARD ZONING APPROACH: A CASE STUDY OF CEKUNGAN BANDUNG AREA
The rapid development of metropolitan areas is often marked by an imbalance between the expansion of built-up areas and the intensity of urban activities, resulting in a partial understanding of urban structure and function when analyzed from a single dimension. This condition is evident in the Cekungan Bandung, which experiences intense urbanization pressure and uneven spatial dynamics. This study analyzes the physical structure and urban activities of the Bandung Basin using an integrated spatial modeling approach. The approach used in this study is quantitative spatial analysis with a descriptive-explanatory design. Physical structure was derived from the Normalized Difference Built-up Index (NDBI) using Sentinel-2 imagery, while urban activity was represented by Nighttime Lights (NTL) data from VIIRS Black Marble. Both indicators were standardized and analyzed using clockboard zoning. The results indicate that the maximum NDBI value reaches 0.552 and is concentrated in the metropolitan core, while the basin-scale average NDBI remains negative, reflecting the dominance of non-built-up areas. The highest NTL intensity was observed in Bandung City, with an average of 29.56 nW/cm²·sr and a density of 117.67/km², followed by a sharp decline toward peripheral areas. Bivariate NDBI–NTL classification across 45 clockboard zones is dominated by Transition and Dominant Developing Sectors, while the Core Sector accounts for only 26.67% of zones, indicating a polycentric, asymmetric, corridor-based metropolitan growth pattern.

SPATIAL ANALYSIS OF VILLAGE-LEVEL PREVALENCE OF UNDERNOURISHMENT IN SUKABUMI REGENCY
Food and nutritional insufficiency remain a global challenge, as reflected in Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 2 on zero hunger. These conditions directly affect human capital quality, economic productivity, and regional competitiveness. The Prevalence of Undernourishment (PoU) is one of the internationally recognized indicators used to assess inadequate food consumption. In 2024, the PoU in Sukabumi Regency was relatively high at 5.82%. This study examines the spatial patterns of PoU at the village level in Sukabumi Regency and investigates its association with the Village Development Index (Indeks Desa Membangun/IDM). PoU data for 2024 were analyzed using Moran’s Index and Local Indicators of Spatial Autocorrelation (LISA), followed by correlation analysis to evaluate the relationship between PoU and IDM. The findings indicate a Moran’s Index value of 0.502, demonstrating a significant spatial clustering of PoU, with hotspot areas concentrated in the northwestern and southern regions. The correlation analysis produced a coefficient of –0.377, suggesting a negative association between PoU and IDM. Hotspot patterns in developed and independent villages were predominantly located in the southern region. These results underscore the presence of interregional linkages associated with elevated PoU levels in Sukabumi Regency and highlight the need for more targeted development policies, particularly those aimed at strengthening food security through improved governance to enhance human capital quality.

TOURISM DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY OF KUJANG SAPASANG TOWER AND AL KAMIL MOSQUE IN THE JATIGEDE AREA USING AN INTEGRATED APPROACH
The Jatigede Reservoir area has become one of the tourist icons of Sumedang Regency. This area has a number of leading and supporting tourist attractions. This study will focus on the Kujang Sapasang Tower and Al Kamil Mosque as part of the Jatigede Reservoir tourist attractions. The purpose of this research is to explore the characteristics of the study objects in order to formulate a comprehensive approach to developing tourist attractions, considering the great tourism potential but also the competitive challenges. The analysis methods used include the 6A tourism component analysis, sentiment analysis, SWOT analysis, and Porter's Five Forces analysis. The analysis findings show that the Kujang Sapasang Tower and Al Kamil Mosque have advantages in terms of cultural and architectural uniqueness and institutional support, but on the other hand, they have weaknesses and threats that could shift their existence if no strategic steps are taken by the Sumedang Regency Government as the main manager. Based on the analysis results, it is evident that transformative efforts are needed to enhance the development of the Jatigede tourism destination, particularly the Kujang Sapasang Tower and Al Kamil Mosque.

ANALYSIS OF SPREADING AND BACKWASH EFFECT PATTERNS IN EXPLORING GROWTH POLE THEORY (CASE STUDY: BANDUNG BASIN URBAN AREA)
The Bandung Basin Urban Area is a strategic region contributing over 20% to West Java's GRDP. However, its economic growth faces serious challenges regarding the risk of spatial inequality between the core and peripheral areas. This study aims to analyze these dynamics to identify the tendencies of spreading and backwash effects within the framework of Growth Pole Theory. The methodology employs a mixed approach combining aspatial and spatial analyses using data from the 2018–2024 period. The aspatial analysis, utilizing the Williamson Index and Theil Entropy, confirms a consistent trend of increasing inequality, as indicated by the rise of the Williamson Index from 0.66 (2018) to 0.70 (2024), and the increase of Theil Entroppy from 0.15 (2018) to 0.30 (2024). Meanwhile, the spatial analysis using Kernel Density Estimation (KDE) on economic, demographic, and accessibility variables reveals massive concentration patterns. The results demonstrate that the dominance of Bandung City as the core triggers a backwash effect that weakens the hinterland areas, specifically causing a decline in the economic ranking of Cimahi City and West Bandung Regency due to resource migration and the impact of the pandemic. These findings indicate a monopoly of the growth pole. Therefore, strategies to establish secondary growth centers and improve regional accessibility are required to promote a more balanced distribution of development.

EDUCATION AND ECONOMIC PARADOX: ANALYSIS OF DETERMINANTS OF FEMALE LABOR FORCE PARTICIPATION IN WEST JAVA (2020-2024)
This study analyzes the determinants of female labor force participation (TPAK-P) in West Java Province from 2020 to 2024. Using panel data regression with the Fixed Effect Model (FEM), this research examines the influence of Mean Years of Schooling (RLS), Minimum Wage (UMK), and Gross Regional Domestic Product (PDRB) across 27 regencies/cities. The results reveal an educational paradox where RLS has a significant negative effect on female participation (-5.196), indicating a "discouraged worker" effect or high selectivity among educated women. Conversely, economic growth (PDRB) positively drives participation (19.665), while the minimum wage (UMK) shows no significant impact. These findings suggest that creating formal sector jobs that match higher education levels is crucial for West Java's development.

BEHIND CAPITAL FLOWS: EXAMINING OF FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT (FDI) AND DOMESTIC DIRECT INVESTMENT (DDI) IMPACTS ON UNEMPLOYMENT IN WEST JAVA
West Java Province faces a development paradox, as one of a top national investment destination, it consistently records the highest Open Unemployment Rate (OUR). This study aims to analyze the determinants of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and Domestic Direct Investment (DDI) on the OUR across 27 regencies/cities in West Java. Using panel data from 2020-2024, this study applies a Random Effect Model (REM) with robust standard errors, controlling for the Human Development Index (HDI) and Economic Growth Rate. The estimation results show that DDI has a significant negative effect on the OUR, indicating its role in labor absorption. Conversely, FDI has a significant positive effect, implying its capital-intensive nature and potential skill mismatch. Economic growth is proven to significantly reduce the OUR, while HDI paradoxically shows a positive effect. The main conclusion is that not all investments impact the labor market equally. The policy implication is a needed shift from investment quantity to quality, prioritizing labor-intensive domestic investments and aligning human resource development with industry needs.

UNIVERSITY TOWN AS A KNOWLEDGE ECOSYSTEM: A STUDY OF KNOWLEDGE PRODUCTION IN THE JATINANGOR URBAN AREA
Urban areas characterized by the agglomeration of higher education institutions hold strategic potential to evolve into dynamic knowledge ecosystems. For such ecosystems to grow sustainably and adaptively, it is essential to ensure the systemic integration of research and innovation functions, cross-campus collaboration and the establishment of regional research forums. In addition, the availability of supporting infrastructure, such as techno parks and collaborative spaces is crucial to create a shared knowledge system. This study analyzes the knowledge production capacity, supporting infrastructure, and collaborative governance within the Kawasan Perkotaan Jatinangor (KPJ), which is currently transforming from an educational hub into a Knowledge City. The research employs a qualitative-descriptive case study approach using the Knowledge City indicator framework, which encompasses five key dimensions human capital, research output, knowledge infrastructure, triple-helix collaboration, and institutional capacity. The findings reveal that KPJ has a strong foundation in human capital and research productivity, primarily driven by the presence of leading higher education institutions such as Universitas Padjadjaran (UNPAD), Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB) and other competitive universities. The study recommends several strengthening strategies, including the establishment of a regional research forum, collaborative funding schemes, the development of community-based techno parks, and the integration of research agendas with regional development priorities. These strategies are expected to accelerate KPJ’s transformation into an inclusive, adaptive and competitive Knowledge City.

REVITALIZING SENTRA PETERNAKAN RAKYAT AS A STRATEGY FOR LOCAL ECONOMIC TRANSFORMATION IN WEST JAVA
The Community Livestock Center (CSP) is a collective institutional approach designed to strengthen the position of smallholder farmers through agribusiness management principles. Although expected to be a driving force for increased productivity and competitiveness, many CSPs have stagnated after a decade of implementation, including in West Java Province. This study aims to analyze institutional dynamics, inter-actor relationships, and the challenges and opportunities in revitalizing CSPs as a strategy for sustainable local economic development. The research was conducted in four livestock center districts (Subang, Purwakarta, Bogor, and Sukabumi). The study was conducted from July to October 2025, using a qualitative approach through document studies, in-depth interviews, and field observations. The analysis employed a thematic approach and was strengthened by actor-network analysis (ANA). The results indicate that weaknesses in internal governance, lack of cross-sectoral policy support, and limited value chain integration are key obstacles to the development of CSPs. Strategic opportunities exist through multi-stakeholder collaboration, the adoption of digital technology, and the integration of green economy principles. The study recommends area-based institutional reformulation and the development of collaborative platforms to ensure sustainability. These findings enrich evidence-based rural development policies and support the acceleration of green economy transformation at the local level.

STRUCTURING THE AREA AROUND SOREANG–PASIRKOJA TOLL GATE
The development of the area surrounding the Soreang–Pasirkoja Toll Gate, driven by increased infrastructure accessibility, has accelerated built-up growth that risks becoming unstructured and uncontrolled. This study aims to formulate an urban design-based spatial arrangement concept as a growth management instrument aligned with regional spatial planning policies. The research employs desk study, field observation, policy analysis, and conceptual design synthesis. The findings indicate that the area can be organized through a three-zone segmentation strategy—gateway zone, core corridor, and supporting corridor—supported by design parameters such as regulated building setback lines, a minimum 4-meter inclusive pedestrian pathway, strengthened streetscape elements, and the integration of informal activities through a spatio-temporal approach. This concept promotes the live, work, and play principle and reinforces comfort and image attributes to enhance public space quality and strengthen the area’s identity as the gateway to the capital of Bandung Regency. The study provides an operational basis for preparing urban design guidelines and integrating growth control mechanisms into local spatial planning documents.

VOLATILITY ANALYSIS AND STRATEGIC RECOMMENDATIONS SEGMENTATIONS FOR FOOD COMMODITY PRICES WEST JAVA USING EXPONENTIAL GARCH MODELING
This study aims to model and analyze the price volatility of eight food commodities (rice, cooking oil, shallots, garlic, chicken eggs, chicken meat, bird’s eye chili, and red chili) using time series data from traditional market daily prices obtained from the Bank Indonesia PIHPS for the period of March 30, 2017 to March 17, 2025 (2,086 observations). The ARIMA model is used to model the mean, and the EGARCH model is applied for volatility analysis. The prices of the commodities vary considerably, showing an increasing trend each year, and are stationary at first difference. ARCH testing indicates heteroskedasticity in all commodities except cooking oil; therefore, only seven commodities proceed to the EGARCH model. The conclusion of this study is that the EGARCH model can be applied to the seven food commodities in West Java. The food commodities with the greatest leverage effects are shallots, red chili, and bird’s eye chili. Meanwhile, the commodities with the smallest leverage effects are rice and chicken meat. Policy recommendations are provided based on the segmentation of leverage magnitude for each food commodity in West Java. For commodities with low leverage, it's recommended to strengthen the early warning system. For those with medium leverage, combine the early warning system with market psychological interventions. Meanwhile, for high-leverage commodities, the focus should be on strategic stock management or a buffer stock

REVISITING DETERMINANTS OF OPEN UNEMPLOYMENT RATEIN WEST JAVA PROVINCE: A REGIONAL DATA ANALYSIS
West Java Province has the third highest open unemployment rate (TPT) in Indonesia, at 6.74% (BPS, 2025). Regionally, high open unemployment rates are also found in regencies/cities with the highest investment realization in West Java. This study aims to re-examine the factors that influence the open unemployment rate in West Java using data from 27 districts/cities during the period 2018 to 2023. The analysis was conducted using two-way fixed effect panel data regression. Based on the statistical analysis results, there was no significant correlation between regional minimum wage policies, inflation rates, and investment realization with the open unemployment rate. Meanwhile, economic growth, labor force participation rate, and average length of schooling have a negative correlation and a significant effect on the open unemployment rate. Therefore, the policy strategies that can be implemented are divided into two main objectives, which are creating jobs and improving the quality of human resources in West Java.

ANALYSIS OF AGRICULTURAL COMMODITY-BASED AGROINDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY IN KARAWANG REGENCY, WEST JAVA
Karawang Regency has very diverse agricultural potential with a variety of important products. However, the lack of collaboration between the agricultural sector and the agro-processing industry has hampered the sector's value-added contribution to the local economy. This study aims to identify superior products that drive agro-industry growth as well as formulate development strategies. The methods used include Location Quotient, Shift Share, Klassen Typology, and SWOT analysis. The results of the LQ analysis show that commodities such as rice, cauliflower, galangal, lemongrass, guava, guava, mango, and banana have a significant contribution to the welfare of the local community. As for the results of the Klassen Typology analysis, there are three groups of categories, namely superior, potential, and developing categories, each of which requires a different development approach. Based on the results of the SWOT analysis, strategies to develop agro-industry include optimising land use and technology, improving farmers' skills through training, cooperation with the government, utilising geographical conditions, and developing processing industries. These strategies are designed to be implemented at two main levels, namely farmers and the government, with the aim of increasing the competitiveness of agro-industry in Karawang Regency.

ANEMIA PROFILE AND INFLAMMATORY MARKERS AS EARLY DETECTION OF COMORBIDITIES IN STUNTED CHILDREN UNDER TWO YEARS OLD (BADUTA) IN SUKABUMI REGENCY
Stunting is one of the chronic malnutrition problems among children under two years of age (Baduta). The Indonesian government has made various efforts to provide additional food and additional medicine but has not provided optimal results. This study aims to describe the profile of anemia and inflammatory markers in children under two years of age who experience stunting. This study is a descriptive cross-sectional study that obtained 85 stunted toddlers with various possible underlying diseases using cluster sampling and consecutive sample data collection techniques. The study was conducted at the Palabuhanratu Regional General Hospital (RSUD) Laboratory, Sukabumi Regency, with blood samples obtained from stunted children in the Palabuhanratu and Cisaat areas. Data collection by interview, anthropometric measurements, hematology and inflammatory marker examinations, iron level examinations, and ferritin levels. Research results: suspected thalassemia (20%), iron deficiency anemia (17%), chronic disease anemia (12%), suspected TB (10%), suspected intestinal inflammation (14%), suspected allergic proctocolitis (10%), suspected helminthiasis (11%), and other bacterial infections (7%). There are various causes of anemia and the quality of comorbid diseases in stunted children. Examination of anemia profiles and inflammatory markers is recommended in primary health facilities to determine the type of anemia and comorbid diseases in stunted toddlers. Hematology analysis and chemistry analysis tools need to be provided in primary health facilities.

LAND SUITABILITY FOR INDUSTRIAL ZONES PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT IN KAWASAN REBANA OF WEST JAVA
This study aims to identify land suitability levels for industrial zone development in Kawasan Rebana of West Java using Geographic Information System (GIS)-based spatial analysis. The data utilized include parameters such as slope gradient, multi-hazard, proximity to roads, rivers, settlements, and soil type, aligned with Ministerial Regulation No. 35 of 2010 and the author's refinement. An overlay technique in GIS was applied to integrate these parameters to produce a land suitability map. The results reveal that Indramayu Regency has the highest potential, with areas classified as suitable and highly suitable, amounting to 123,543.38 hectares and 25,236.07 hectares, respectively. Conversely, Kuningan Regency shows limited highly suitable land, with only 1,307.06 hectares, requiring additional interventions. Cirebon City, as an urban area, is more suitable to serve as a logistics hub supporting surrounding industrial zones. This study highlights the importance of GIS-based approaches in spatial planning to ensure optimal and sustainable industrial zone development. Recommendations are provided for each region based on their respective potentials and challenges.

RECOMMENDATION OF SOCIAL ASSISTANCE RECIPIENTS IN POVERTY ALLEVIATION EFFORTS IN BOGOR DISTRICT USING TOPSIS METHOD
Bogor Regency had a poverty rate of 7.27% in 2023, with a bureaucratic reform evaluation score of 49.33% in terms of effectiveness in poverty alleviation based on impact achievement. The poverty issue in Bogor Regency requires special attention, particularly in the accurate targeting of social assistance distribution. This study employs the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method to provide faster and more precise recommendations for aid recipients. The data used originates from P3KE deciles 1-4 in 2024, encompassing 16 variables related to the socio-economic conditions of household heads. The research process includes data processing, determination of criteria weights through expert interviews, and application of TOPSIS to rank aid recipients. The results indicate that TOPSIS is effective in identifying priority recipients based on proximity to the ideal solution. These findings suggest that the Bogor Regency government adopted this method to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of social assistance distribution, thereby ensuring aid is better targeted and has a positive impact on impoverished communities.

ANALYSIS OF STRATEGIC AREA DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL BASED ON TRADITIONAL AND MODERN MARKET MAPPING IN BOGOR REGENCY
The selection of strategic potential for the development of a region is highly dependent on the dynamics of the local economy. One of the key factors in strengthening the regional economy is the presence of traditional and modern markets. However, the existence of these markets can often cause overlapping coverage of modern and traditional retail services, resulting in an uncompetitive business environment that only benefits one party. This study aims to map the current conditions of traditional and modern markets in Bogor Regency, West Java, Indonesia. The analysis not only provides market mapping but also becomes a reference for selecting strategic areas in Bogor Regency. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method with an approach that combines the Average Nearest Neighbor (ANN) and Panel Spatial techniques. The results of the analysis identified 4 out of 40 sub-districts, namely Cariu District, Tanjung Sari District, Rancabungur District, and Tenjolaya District as recommendations for developing strategic areas for the Trade sector in Bogor Regency. However, further mapping is needed regarding traditional markets and minimarkets in Bogor Regency, both those that are already operating and those that are not. This aims to ensure more equitable market services throughout Bogor Regency. And there needs to be a policy, considering the number of minimarkets that exceed the calculated capacity, it would be better if the granting of business permits was more selective so that a competitive and healthy business climate is created and there needs to be support for traditional retail business actors to increase their competitiveness, including facilitating partnership efforts with modern retailers.

ASSESSING THE ROLE OF INEQUALITY AND HUMAN DEVELOPMENT INDICES IN REGIONAL ECONOMIC GROWTH: WEST JAVA
Research shows that inequality could hamper economic growth, while HDI improvement generally correlates positively with economic growth. West Java, one of the provinces with the largest population in Indonesia, faces unique challenges in the interplay of relationships between those factors. This study aims to measure the relationship between measurements of inequality and the various indices that serve as components of HDI on the one hand, as well as economic growth on the other hand, in all of the 27 municipalities (i.e., regencies and cities) of West Java Province. Using panel regression of cross-sectional and time series data, this study found that inequality and the life expectancy index both showed positive and significant relationships with economic growth. These findings might be related to increased investments by wealthier individuals and increased labor productivity due to a healthier workforce. Conversely, the education and income index were found to be non-significant, possibly due to qualitative disparities in education and mismatches with labor market needs, and also due to the limitations of expenditure-based measures in regions with substantial informal economic activities that are not fully captured in official data. These findings can guide targeted interventions to balance growth and equity in West Java.

ANALYSIS OF THE INFLUENCE OF THE EDUCATION INDEX ON THE OPEN UNEMPLOYMENT RATE AND POVERTY DEPTH INDEX IN WEST JAVA PROVINCE
This study aims to map the effect of the education index on the Open Unemployment Rate and the Poverty Depth Index in West Java Province. Based on several previous studies, there is a significant correlation between education and poverty. The higher the Education Index of the community in an area, the higher the opportunity to get a job or income so that the open unemployment rate and the poverty depth index of the community in the area will decrease significantly along with the increase in the education index. The data used in this study are panel data consisting of time series from 2018 to 2021 and cross-sectional data covering 27 districts/cities in West Java Province obtained through the website of the West Java Provincial Statistics Agency. This study was conducted using quantitative analysis methods by applying correlation tests and regression tests to determine the relationship and influence between the variables tested. The results of the study show that there is a correlation between the Education Index and the Poverty Depth Index of West Java Province in 2018 and 2021, but there is no correlation between the Education Index and the Open Unemployment Rate of West Java Province in 2018-2021. Meanwhile, the results of the regression test show that there is a simultaneous influence between the Education Index on the Open Unemployment Rate and the Poverty Depth Index in West Java Province from 2018 to 2021.

WEST JAVA FISCAL POLICY REFORM FOR EQUITABLE AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
This study aims to elaborate and advocate for the Ecology-Based Provincial Budget Transfers (TAPE) mechanism as a policy instrument for managing environmental issues while reducing disparities in economic development. West Java faces pressing ecological challenges. It includes impacts of climate change, deforestation, water scarcity, land conversion, food security threats, and a significant socio-economic development gap between the North and the South. The Ecological Fiscal Transfer (EFT) has been applied in the National Government transfer mechanisms. The TAPE has been implemented in a few provinces of ”the Lungs of the World” as a derivative concept of EFT at the provincial government levels. This research examines experiences and best practices of TAPE implementation in other Provinces, then modifies the idea for the West Java context. It employs a Desk Study method, incorporating a literature review, policy analysis, interviews with stakeholders, and collecting regional government budgets of districts/municipalities. This study presents findings regarding the potential of TAPE to stimulate sustainable economic equity. This research provides comprehensive policy recommendations to address environmental problems and inter-regional fiscal capacity disparities in West Java. In detail, it promotes ecological performance indicators for formulating provincial financial aid allocations for regency/municipal governments and village governments.

THE POTENTIAL OF BENENG TARO (Xanthosoma undipes) FOR INCREASING COMMUNITY FOREST PRODUCTIVITY IN CIAMIS, WEST JAVA
The productivity of community forests is still low when measured on an annual average. It is caused by exploitation that still relies on wood products. Therefore, developing agricultural commodities with high economic value could be a solution to increasing the productivity of community forests. This research aimed to analyse the potential of taro beneng to increase the productivity of community forests and how much land has the potential for its development. We conducted surveys and interviews with two key informants (head of the beneng-taro farming group in Sukamaju Village and Kutawaringin Village, Ciamis Regency) and literature studies from various sources on the internet. A spatial analysis was conducted to calculate the potential land area for developing beneng taro in community forests. The results of this study showed that beneng taro has the potential to be developed in community forest land because it is shade-tolerant, easy to cultivate, has a high production of tubers and leaves, and has export opportunities. The total area of land that has the potential for developing taro beneng in Ciamis Regency reaches 35,260.05 ha, consisting of categories from moderately suitable to highly suitable, spread across 26 sub-districts.

Accelerating The Issuance of Complete Systematic Land Registration Program Certificates in Bandung Regency
Land registration is seen as a way to provide legal certainty for the control and ownership of land parcels in accordance with Article 19 Paragraph (1) of the Basic Agrarian Law. In order to reduce the problems in the land sector, the government issued a program to facilitate the community in managing land title certificates. This study used a qualitative descriptive approach. The data obtained were analyzed using the theory of policy implementation model from Grindle (1980). The data sources come from primary data obtained through interviews, observations, and documentation studies as well as secondary data in the form of regulations related to the implementation of the complete systematic land registration program (PTSL). Data analysis techniques using fishbone diagrams. The results showed that the implementation of a complete systematic land registration program in Bandung Regency has been carried out in accordance with the stages of program implementation. However, in the implementation, there are still several inhibiting factors in human resources, public awareness, and completeness of application files. Recommendations to accelerate the issuance of land certificates by improving the competence of human resources and compiling internal technical guidelines (PTSL pocketbook).

ANALYSING THE EFFECT OF CLIMATE VARIABILITY ON DENGUE FEVER INCIDENCE USING A REGRESSION MODEL APPROACH: A CASE STUDY OF BANDUNG CITY
Dengue fever (DHF) is a disease transmitted by mosquito vectors that becomes a worldwide problem every year. Bandung City as the capital city of West Java Province is a vulnerable area for DHF as seen from the high number of cases and deaths due to DHF. Climate variability such as temperature, rainfall, humidity and wind speed, has an influence on the incidence of DHF which affects the life cycle of mosquitoes, breeding media, and also the reach of mosquitoes to humans. The high number of cases will affect the sustainability of regional development, one of which has implications for the high burden on the health budget. Based on the regression model, there is a relationship between climate variability and health outcomes. Climate variability simultaneously affects the incidence of dengue fever in Bandung City. With R2 value of 0.737. The proven influence of climate variability on dengue disease rates in Bandung City can be used in developing an early warning system to prevent and reduce the number of cases in the form of more accurate disease prevention activities before the number of cases increases.

The Influence of Infrastructure Availability on Income Inequality in West Java Province
West Java is ranked third as the province with the highest level of income inequality in Indonesia. Equitable infrastructure development is one strategy to reduce income inequality in a region. This research aimed to examine the impact of the availability of infrastructure in the form of roads, educational facilities and health facilities as well as a control variable in the form of economic growth on income inequality in West Java. A total of 189 panel data from 27 districts and cities over a period of 7 years (2016-2022) were evaluated using a selected regression model (random effect model). The data source taken from the West Java Province Statistics Agency. The research results showed that the availability of road infrastructure is the dominant factor in reducing income inequality in West Java rather than education and health facilities. This is possible because road infrastructure encourages connectivity between regions, develops other facilities more evenly and increases business productivity so that people's income increases and ultimately reduces income inequality.

Challenges and The Future of Natural Batik Ciwaringin Industry, Cirebon: Case Study Analysis Using IFAS and EFAS Techniques
The Ciwaringin handwritten batik industry still faces many obstacles, including production process challenges and long production durations which can hinder cash flow turnover, marketing issues, and the limited skills and knowledge of the artisans, making it difficult for the Ciwaringin batik industry to grow. To foster the growth of the Ciwaringin batik industry, internal and external evaluations are necessary. This research aims to analyze the challenges and future of the Ciwaringin batik industry using SWOT analysis and calculations with IFAS and EFAS matrices. The study employed a descriptive qualitative approach with Miles and Huberman's analysis techniques. The results indicate that the IFAS value (strength and weakness) is 2.92, identifying that the IFAS value is in quadrant V (Five), which represents an average score. Therefore, there is a need for improvement in the internal factors of the Ciwaringin batik industry. The EFAS value of the Ciwaringin batik industry is 2.65, which falls in the "medium" quadrant. This means that the level of opportunities available to the Ciwaringin batik industry is medium, as it competes not only with other batik industries but also with various other creative industries in the fashion sector. Hence, the Ciwaringin batik industry can leverage its unique characteristics to capitalize on these opportunities. Based on the IFAS and EFAS results, the quantitative assessment provided by the IFAS and EFAS can assist the local government in evaluating and developing programs for the Ciwaringin batik industry. The findings of this research can guide policy direction to be more effective and efficient.

ADDRESSING THE NECESSITY AND CONTRIBUTION OF URBAN GREEN SPACE IN METROPOLITAN CITIES
The role and contribution of urban green space have become crucial. In addition to serving as a space to maintain environmental quality and improve people's living conditions, urban green space also serves a purpose in the transformation of an urban region. This study aims to examine what factors influence the increase in the amount of UGS in Bekasi Municipality as a Metropolitan city. The data were collected from Spatial Planning Office and Central Bureau of Statistics in 2013- 2022. Using Multiple Regression techniques, this research explores the association of variables in terms of the necessity for UGS. The result of this study shows that the population have a positive correlation but no significant impact on the total area of UGS. The total area of residential has a positive and significant impact on UGS, while the growth of the real estate sector has a negative impact and is not significant on the total area of UGS in Bekasi City. With the increasingly limited land area, the government of Bekasi Municipality should pay attention to the availability of existing land so that it can be used for urban green areas.

STUDY OF LAYERED ARCHITECTURE DESIGN FOR APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT TECHNOLOGY TO SUPPORT THE GOVERNMENT APPLICATIONS IN WEST JAVA PROVINCE
The Electronic-Based Government System (EBGS) includes regulations for application development in the context of digital transformation to enhance public services. However, the increasing innovation in the government sector faces challenges in governing and standardizing application development technology, especially for specific applications in the West Java Provincial Government. The gap between technology selection and human resource planning can lead to an excessive number of applications without optimizing maintenance and development. Therefore, this study emphasizes the importance of technology standardization in application development to support the government's digital transformation. The study presents a four-layer technology architecture design: front-end, middleware, back-end, and persistent. The classification of technology standards is divided into three levels: small, medium, and large, based on the number of users, transactions, and data. By standardizing, it is expected to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of application development, reduce development costs, increase team productivity, and optimize application quality. This study also highlights the relevance of implementing this architecture in the West Java Provincial Government environment, with reference to existing local regulations and policies. The results of the study indicate that this four-layer technology standardization can be an effective solution to overcome the challenges of government application development and support sustainable digital transformation

IDENTIFYING THE DEMOGRAPHIC PATTERN OF WEST JAVA USING SPATIAL AUTOCORRELATION: PREPARING FOR THE DEMOGRAPHIC DIVIDEND
West Java is the most populated province in Indonesia, and this places quite a heavy burden in facing the wave of demographic dividend which is predicted to occur in 2030-2035. This article aims to identify patterns of similarity and anomalous values from West Java demographics using spatial autocorrelation. The data used consists of population growth rates at the Regency/City level in West Java as well as growth factors such as birth rates (TFR), infant mortality (IMR), and migration. To identify spatial patterns from demographic variables, Global Moran statistics and Local Indicators of Spatial Association (LISA) with the ArcMap application are used. The results show that there is global and local spatial autocorrelation for the demographic variables considered. The use of LISA also shows the existence of clusters and outliers that are formed as well as an indication of their location in West Java. The contribution of this study is to provide an overview of significant locations in West Java for policy studies and further research in preparing for the momentum of the demographic dividend.
