Abstract

The development and economic equality carried out by the local government of the bulukumba regency have been a long time. However, there has been a change from 2010 to 2018; this development aims to make the city of bulukumba as an economic center in the southern tip of the capital city of south sulawesi province. This marked by the presence of various industries in various sectors, such as the boat industry pinisi, tobacco processing, rubber, and the tourism industry. But in reality, the development process that leads to growth by focusing on industrial centralization results in inequality in the village. This research uses a case study with a qualitative approach with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews. The results of this study indicate that (i) the regional government wants to make bulukumba city a center of economic growth that relies on the process of industrialization in the hope of increasing provincial budget revenues (apbd) as the principal capital in accelerating equity, and is expected to be able to reduce unemployment and poverty. (ii) the alignment of growth and equity carried out by empowering the village economy by spurring leading sectors in each village, creating independent communities, and building and improving infrastructure, education, health, and creating jobs through leading industries in each town.
