DOES ALTITUDE AND FOREST DENSITY AFFECT ECONOMIC GROWTH? A CASE STUDY OF KALIMANTAN BARAT
Subject
altitude, economic growth, regencies/cities, geographical.
Description
Kalimantan Barat is one of the individual provinces in Kalimantan due to its diverse geographical
elevation among all districts. Mountains and hills dominate the districts near the border; lowlands
and river banks dominate the urban areas. A geographical indication is a barrier to economic growth,
as a simple growth from limited transportation. Efforts to optimize the economic sector are also
carried out in forest management, including Kalimantan Barat as one of the world's lungs. The
conversion of forest land functions is suspected to increase economic growth even though it must
balance nature. This study aims to determine the significance of altitude as a fixed geographical
indicator and forest density as a natural condition that can vary according to human activities. The
height of area data and forest density, and the average economic growth in 14 districts/cities in
Kalimantan Barat uses the Panel Least Square method. As a result, area height has a negative and
significant effect on economic growth, whereas forest density has no such relationship. Simultaneously, both variable is having a substantial impact on economic growth in Kalimantan Barat.
