Abstract

In terms of administration, Malang is divided into two regions, Malang City and Malang Regency. Although the regions are different, economically two regions can not separated because almost all economic activities are concentrated at Malang City. This has impacts on the economic gap between Malang City and Malang Regency. With respect to gap, the research was conducted to analyze the growth center of Regional Development Unit (RDU) of the Malang City, based on two development directions: identifying sectoral economic potentials and that for regional sowol potentials. In terms of regional aspects, the description of development centers in each RDU are: (1) Ngantang Sub-district is a priority for the development center of RDU I; (2) Singosari Sub-district is a priority for the development center of northern RDU II; (3) Pakisaji Sub-district is a priority for the development center of southern RDU II; (4) Poncokusumo Sub-district is a priority for the development center of RDU IV; (5) Kepanjen Sub-district is a priority for the development center of RDU V; (6) Pagelaran Sub-district is a priority for the development center of RDU VII; and (7) Turen Sub-district is a priority for the development center of RDU VIII. Since the results has policy impacts, the government of the Malang Regency should decide regional development policies referring to the regional development concept based on the economic and regional potentials so that it can give priorities to potential districts to be acted as development centers. By implementing the policy, it is expected that economic activities will not be concentrated on one development point, the Malang City as the only development point.
