This study aims to analyze the influence of the Provincial Minimum Wage (UMP), Poverty Rate (TK), and Unemployment Rate (TPT) on the Human Development Index (HDI) in five provinces of Indonesia categorized as having moderate HDI from 2014 to 2023. The research employs a panel data regression method using the Fixed Effect Model (FEM) approach to capture variations across regions and time.The findings reveal that the UMP has a positive and significant impact on HDI, indicating that higher minimum wages contribute to improvements in human development. In contrast, the TPT negatively and significantly affects HDI, suggesting that higher unemployment rates hinder human development progress. Meanwhile, the TK variable shows no significant effect on HDI, implying that changes in poverty rates during the study period did not directly influence human development levels in these provinces.Furthermore, the results of the regression analysis show that UMP, TK, and TPT simultaneously have a significant impact on HDI, with an overall contribution of 98.65%. The remaining 1.35% is attributed to other factors not included in the research model.These results highlight the importance of policies aimed at increasing minimum wages and reducing unemployment to enhance community welfare and accelerate human development in provinces with moderate HDI. Policymakers are encouraged to design comprehensive strategies that prioritize employment creation and wage improvements as key levers for boosting human development outcomes across regions.

 
Abstract. This research aims to analyze the influence of social assistance spending and subsidy spending on poverty in North Sumatra Province. The independent variables in this research include social assistance spending and subsidy spending, while the dependent variable is poverty. The data used comes from the North Sumatra Central Statistics Agency for the 2009-2023 period, which includes data on social assistance spending, subsidy spending and the depth of poverty. The data analysis method used is multiple linear regression. The results of this research show that social assistance spending has a positive but not significant influence on poverty, while subsidy spending has a positive and significant influence on poverty. Government spending policies in the form of subsidies and social assistance still require evaluation to increase their effectiveness in reducing poverty.

This research aims to describe the implementation of digital transformation in marketing strategies among micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in the culinary sector, using Nomnom Kitchen in Bandarlampung City as a case study. Employing a qualitative approach with data collection techniques including interviews, observations, and documentation, the research explores the firsthand experiences of business actors in transitioning from conventional to digital marketing. The findings reveal that MSME actors face complex dynamics throughout the digitalization process, involving internal challenges such as limited human resources and digital content management, as well as external opportunities like expanded market reach. Digital transformation emerges as a strategic tool that enhances promotional efficiency, strengthens customer engagement, and fosters a business model that is more responsive to technological advances. The study highlights the importance of digital training and the enhancement of entrepreneurial capacity to optimize the digital potential of MSMEs.

This study aims to determine and analyze the Level of Education, Economic Growth, and Population Density on Quality of Life in Aceh, using a descriptive-quantitative approach in the form of time series data, for 5 years in the form of secondary data selected from the total of Aceh Province. The model used in this study is a multiple linear regression analysis model (Multiple Linear Regression) based on the OLS (Ordinary Least Square) method. Simultaneously, the F test shows that the three independent variables together have a significant effect on quality of life, with a calculated F value = 85.495, sig. = 0.000, and F table = 2.70. The coefficient of determination shows a value of R Square = 0.728, which means that 72.8% of the variation in quality of life can be explained by education level, economic growth and population density, while the rest is influenced by other variables outside the model.

This research aims to analyze the influence of social assistance program utilization on the poverty level in Pelita Hijau Village, Bonepantai Sub-District, Bone Bolango Regency. This research utilizes a quantitative approach with a descriptive method. The sample consists of all 57 recipients of social assistance in the form of BLT (Bantuan Langsung Tunai or Direct Cash Assistance) and BPNT (Bantuan Pangan Non-tunai or Non-Cash Food Assistance) in Pelita Hijau Village. The data collection techniques used in this research include initial observations, questionnaires, and documentation. The data analysis technique applied is simple linear regression. The findings indicate a positive and significant influence of social assistance on the poverty level, with the determination coefficient value from the regression model obtained at 0.300. The findings also showthat the correlation coefficient (R) suggests a moderately strong influence. The determination coefficient (R Square) represents the percentage of the influence of variable X (social assistance) on variable Y (poverty level). In contrast, the remaining70% in influencedby other variables not examined in this research.

This study aims to analyze the proposed relocation of the Kerabut market to a more strategic location. The relocation of the market is driven by congestion and accident-prone problems that often occur in the previous location due to the lack of good spatial planning. In addition, many traders sell without permits around the market location, thus disturbing the order and cleanliness of the environment. This research uses a descriptive quantitative approach to describe the current condition of the Kerabut market and the potential benefits of relocation. Economic feasibility analysis using the Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), Benefit/Cost Ratio, and Payback Period methods will be applied to measure the effectiveness of the investment in the new market development. The results of this study are expected to provide comprehensive recommendations regarding the Kerabut market relocation plan, so as to improve efficiency, safety, and convenience for traders.

The purpose of this research is to see how the Literacy Warkop location influences student buyer interest at Sultan Ageng Tirtayasa University (Untirta). Factors such as comfort, accessibility and atmosphere were studied through a survey conducted by twenty students. In this current era of globalization, a coffee shop is not only a place to enjoy coffee, but also a place to interact socially and intellectually. It is hoped that the location of the literacy shop near the library or academic building will increase student accessibility and comfort. The research results show that students' buying interest is greatly influenced by the right purchase location. The buyer's desire to buy something which is influenced by internal and external factors is called buying interest. This research helps business people determine location placement methods to attract student attention. Therefore, location maintenance is very important for the success of literacy warkop in attracting student customers.
