Regional Economic Development Planning Strategies in Poverty

Regional economic development is an activity carried out by local governments together with local communities, managing and utilizing existing resources optimally to stimulate regional economic development and the welfare of regional communities. One of the benchmarks for the success of economic development and community services in a region can be seen from the economic growth of the region. Poverty is a development problem that has been faced by various countries from time to time. Including Indonesia, poverty is one of the fundamental problems that is the center of attention in Indonesia. Various policies and efforts to reduce poverty have been carried out, but the number of poor people is still large. This fact indicates that the efforts and policies made by the central and local governments have not been maximized in an effort to reduce poverty. This research was conducted for almost one year and used a qualitative research method with a descriptive approach. With this method, it is hoped that this research can find out what problems are obstacles in poverty alleviation and what strategies are carried out by local governments to reduce poverty so that in the initial planning of regional development can be well planned and the main problems can be overcome with development strategies.
