Strategic areas can be said to meet the land use pattern and spatial planning in Bogor Regency, where the majority of minimarkets are built in sub-districts that have rapid economic growth. Then, the second article explains 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.

In the third article, 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.
