| dc.description.abstract | When the fast growing economy occured in Developing Countries
including Indonesia, during 1970-1980, it was observed , that the improvement
of the economy had positive correlation with income disparities, s. the use of
economic growth as the development indicator is not accepted any more. Due to
is fatal inadequacy, the experts tried to make other indicator, as the complement
or even as the replacement of the traditional indicators. One of the efforts made
by UNDP who had composed and improved so called Human Development
Index.
The purpose of this research is to find the influence of sectoral
government budget allocation towards the improvement of HIDI in Medan, related
to to the implementation of Regional autonomy law, where as the regional
goverment is responsible to the improvement of people prosperities, through
implementing all policies, including the Regional Budget (APBD). The Regional
Budget consists of Routine and Development Budget, and Development Budget
consists of 18 Sectors and each sector composed by several programs.
The research is a post facto type, following quantitative and qualitative approach
with primary and secondary data resourses used for regression analysis.
The research outcome shows that there are 8 sectors which’ has the
influence towards HDI improvement , they are Social Group consists of Education
and Health Sector , Infrastructure group consists of Transportation, Regional
Development and, Housing Sectors and overcoming, disparities group consists of
Industry, Manpower and Trade Sector, together with Economic growth, with a
different degree of influence. It is found that Sector allocation during the years of
reseach , have not resulted on the maximation improvement of HDI, so that
Sectoral Budget Rearrangement are needed, as follow, 1) Sectoral budget
allocation, from infrastructure to Industry, Man power and Trade sectors, 2)
Reallocation of infrastructure development from the city centre to the outlying
area, 3) Reallocation of Budget programs from gardening to clean water provision
and environmetal improvement. Beside that Social spending must be accompanied
with infrastructure development duc to the finding of this research that
infrastructure human settlement also has the influence to the improvenment of
HDL This realocation of budget will result on the improvement of HDI,
decreasing physical and income disparities as well, as we aware that these two
points as the main goal of regional development. | en_US |
