ABSTRACT:

This study investigates the role of regional development as a new growth area and its contribution to regional development based on its natural and economic wealth potential. A room's story is significant to create community welfare. This study used a descriptive method based on the results of field observations and secondary data, which were analyzed using the Gravity Model approach, Williamson Index and Location Quotient (LQ) analysis, and qualitative research. The results showed that the interaction between Sekotong and its surrounding areas was relatively high. It can be seen that the Sekotong-Sheet position has the most excellent gravity valueIt can also be explained that Sekotong currently has two mainstay sectors as the base sector, namely the Agriculture, Forestry, Fisheries, and Mining sector. The other three sectors, such as Wholesale and Information are potential sectors to become base sectors for the future. With the development of marine and hilly potentials through tourism, of course, the hope is that it will divert community activities from destroying nature (illegal gold mining) to actions to protect and preserve the surrounding environment. This study reveals that the changing of people characters from destructive mindset into the hospitality toward the environment.
