Abstract

This study aims to find out how the carrying capacity of one economic sector is compared to other economic sectors in West Nusa Tenggara Province, especially the carrying capacity/direct forward linkages. This research was conducted on economic sectors whose data is displayed in the I-O table that has been processed and issued by the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) of West Nusa Tenggara. For this reason, data analysis uses an Input-Output analysis approach which is arranged in the form of an I-O table. From this, it will be seen that an economic sector must be related to other economic sectors, where each economic sector against other economic sectors certainly has a different carrying capacity. Furthermore, it will also be seen which sector has the highest carrying capacity against other economic sectors and which sector has low carrying capacity. The results of the analysis show that the economic sectors with the largest carrying capacity include: the agriculture, forestry and fisheries sectors; transportation and warehousing sectors; large trade and retail sectors; car and motorcycle repair; as well as the processing industry sector. On the other hand, sectors with low carrying capacity include: the water supply sector; waste management and recycling; health services and social activities sectors; and the education services sector. With these results, it will provide input to the local government of West Nusa Tenggara Province, related to the development of economic sectors that have high carrying capacity in other sectors and encourage the growth of sectors with weak carrying capacity in order to maintain the sustainability of regional economic growth.
