ABSTRACT

This study aims to explore the effect of fisheries-based industrial agglomeration and demographic features in Tanggamus Regency between 20 subdistricts using the fixed-effect model analysis tool. The Central Statistics Agency (BPS), the Department of Fisheries and Maritime Affairs were the secondary sources of data in this research, which was conducted between the years of 2012 and 2016. The results were assessed using the Hoover Balassa Index analysis tool, and they indicated a substantial degree of agglomeration in only six districts. Further analysis reveals the accumulation is significantly related to household fisheries (X1) and fisheries labor (X2).
