| Summary: | This study aims to analyze the inequality of poverty between regency/city in
West Java Province, to analyze the factors that affect the level of poverty and
analyze spatial patterns of poverty in the province of West Java. The analysis tool
is used to analyze the Theil entropy index of inequality, using panel data
regression Random Effect as the best model to analyze the influence and
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for spatial analysis. The data used are
secondary data all regency/city in West Java province as much as 130 units of
observation.
The results showed that the inequality of poverty in the province of West
Java continue to decline shown by Theil entropy index continued to decline in
2008 and 2012 amounted to 0,2224 at 0,0947. The increase in GDP per capita and
government spending and significant negative effect of the poverty rate in the
province of West Java. The increase in GDP per capita in the province of West
Java will reduce poverty through increased per capita consumption, while
government spending will reduce poverty through infrastructure spending
allocations education, health and infrastructure facilities such as markets, roads,
etc. Other variables that increased levels of open unemployment effect is not
significant to raise the level of poverty in the province of West Java.
Based on the analysis of spatial region with the category of very low levels
of poverty, low and medium, have a tendency to increase in GDP per capita,
government spending and the trend of declining unemployment rate. While areas
with high poverty levels and categories are very high, has tended to the unequal
distribution of income in the lower classes of society. The unemployment rate has
now fallen but is accompanied by increased allocation of workers is not full and
not well targeted government spending on poverty reduction.
