Economic growth remains the sole determining factor that shapes regional development in Sukamara Regency, Kalimantan Tengah, Indonesia. Therefore, in designing and formulating its regional planning, it is imperative that the leading economic sector(s) be specifically studied and prioritized. Using quantitative data and regional analysis, this research aimed to identify the leading sector(s) to formulate recommendations for the regency’s development planning using geographic information systems and three economic growth indicators: location quotient (LQ), multiplier effect (ME), and shift-share (SS). Results indicate that Forestry, Agriculture, and Fisheries is the primary leading sector, followed by Manufacturing, which are both fuelled by the palm oil industry. The prevailing industrial sector causes economic disparities between northern and southern Sukamara. For further regional development, disparities between regions and sustainability issues must be addressed using a nature-based approach and socially inclusive measures by promoting and fostering small and medium enterprises, especially in southern Sukamara. Shifting the economy from extractive sectors (primary) to trade and tourism (secondary and tertiary) is also recommended to ensure the sustainabality of the development.

可持续经济发展的区域分析：印度尼西亚加里曼丹中央苏卡马拉县案例研究

经济增长仍然是印度尼西亚加里曼丹登加苏卡马拉县区域发展的唯一决定因素。因此，在设计和制定区域规划时，必须对主导经济产业进行专门研究和优先发展。本研究旨在利用定量数据和区域分析，确定主导部门，利用地理信息系统和三个经济增长指标：区位商（LQ）、乘数效应（ME）和转移，为县的发展规划制定建议。 -分享（SS）。结果表明，林业、农业和渔业是主要主导部门，其次是制造业，这两个部门都由棕榈油工业推动。盛行的工业部门造成了苏卡马拉北部和南部的经济差距。为了进一步实现区域发展，必须采用基于自然的方法和社会包容性措施，通过促进和培育中小企业（特别是在苏卡马拉南部）来解决地区之间的差异和可持续性问题。还建议将经济从采掘业（第一产业）转向贸易和旅游业（第二和第三产业），以确保发展的可持续性。
