This study aims to analyze the factors
affecting the development gap in Baubau City, Buton
Regency, North Buton Regency, South Buton Regency,
Central Buton Regency, and Wakatobi Regency. Then,
formulate a typology of development gaps in Baubau
City, Buton Regency, North Buton Regency, South
Buton Regency, Central Buton Regency, and Wakatobi
Regency. This research is descriptive research that uses
a quantitative approach to analyze development gaps
between regions using numerical data to draw analytical
conclusions. The data required for this study are
secondary data obtained from statistical publications by
the Central Statistics Agency (BPS). To achieve the
objectives of the study, the analysis is carried out in two
stages. PCA analysis techniques, Shannon entropy index,
are used to analyze the factors affecting the development
gap and TOPSIS to measure the development gap
between regions in the area of Baubau City and
Hinterland Regency. Then to determine the typology of
gaps between regions based on the characteristics of
each region using quadrant analysis. The results showed
that there is a significant gap in resource development
between Baubau City and districts in the interior,
especially in terms of accessibility, economic
development, social, physical and infrastructure
development, as well as regional resources. Then, based
on these differences, 3 typologies of development gaps
were found, namely typology 1 as a relatively developed
area (Baubau City), typology 2 as a relatively rapidly
developing area (Buton Regency, North Buton Regency,
and Wakatobi Regency), and typology 3 (South Buton
Regency, Central Buton Regency) as a relatively
underdeveloped area.
