Infrastructure development can generate employment, stimulate industrial growth, and encourage broader economic growth through multiplier effects. Inequity can arise in various aspects of infrastructure development, such as inequitable distribution of infrastructure benefits and unfair access for all communities. One type of infrastructure is irrigation infrastructure, which has an important role in agriculture, especially in rice fields to irrigate and provide water to the land. Most of the area of Musi Rawas Regency is an agricultural area, therefore most of the population earns a living as farmers. Thus, a suitable irrigation system is needed to support this. In order for economic benefits to be enjoyed fairly and equitably by all parties, this research tries to confirm and explore the distribution of economic benefits from the development and management of irrigation infrastructure in Musi Rawas Regency. The results were analyzed using mixed methods to determine the relationship between economic benefits and community-based irrigation infrastructure management. The results were analyzed using spatial analysis to identify spatial distribution patterns of economic benefits. From this research, it is concluded that the variable of land area, the variable of secondary canal distance, and the variable of land conflict affect rice production.
