| Summary: | Ports are considered a key infrastructure in supporting maritime trade and
spreading development over an area. However, there has not been any research in
Indonesia that explores the economic impact of port infrastructures
comprehensively. This research aims to explore and identify the role of port
infrastructure on the regional economy, both directly and indirectly. This research
contextualizes the existing port infrastructure research framework used by
researchers globally and in developed countries to Indonesia which is considered a
maritime developing country. PLS-SEM method is used to identify and predict the
strength of direct and indirect effects of port infrastructure on the regional economy.
This research did not find any statistically significant relation between port
infrastructure and the regional economy. However, there is a strong positive relation
between maritime trade and the regional eocnomy and also a negative relation
between port infrastructure and maritime trade. It can be concluded that in
developing countries such as Indonesia, maritime trade plays a crucial role in
suppoting the growth of the economy. It can also be concluded that there are a lot of
factors outside the research parameters that affects the logistical performance,
maritime trade, and regional economy in Indonesia. |
