Analysis of the Impact of Sustainable Development on Poverty Alleviation in Bogor Regency

Abstract

This study examines the impact of sustainable development pillars—economic (GRDP), social (HDI), and environmental (EQI)—on poverty alleviation in Bogor Regency, Indonesia, through a quantitative analysis of secondary data (2017–2024). Using multiple linear regression, we find that while GRDP growth reduces poverty (β = −3.92E−05, *p* < 0.01), HDI and EQI exhibit paradoxical positive associations (β = 0.005 and 0.369, respectively; *p* < 0.01), suggesting implementation gaps in social and environmental programs. The model explains 55.1% of poverty variation (R² = 0.551), with the remaining variance attributed to unmeasured factors. From an Islamic perspective, these results reveal misalignment with maqashid al-shari'ah principles, particularly equitable distribution ('adl) and environmental stewardship (hifz al-bi'ah). Comparative analysis highlights Bogor’s underperformance relative to neighboring regions, implicating untapped potential in agro-ecotourism and Islamic finance instruments (zakat, waqf). The study contributes to theory by integrating maqashid frameworks with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and proposes actionable policies: (1) zakat-funded cooperatives, (2) waqf-based vocational education, and (3) progressive environmental pricing. These findings underscore the need for culturally grounded, holistic approaches to poverty reduction in Muslim-majority regions, bridging quantitative targets with ethical imperatives.
