Abstract

The Development of Independent Integrated City (Kota Terpadu Mandiri/KTM) Telang has been going on for 10 years and has succeeded in increasing economic growth in the KTM Telang and the surrounding area. Economic growth at the KTM Center has not been fully felt by the people of Hinterland. The lack of linkages between the city center and the region behind it is the reason for researchers to formulate a sustainable development strategy for the Telang hinterland. The study was conducted in the KTM Telang Area which included three sub-districts, namely Tanjung Lago Sub-District, Muara Telang, and Sumber Marga Telang. Primary data collection techniques are done through in-depth interviews with respondents selected by purposive sampling. The data analysis technique used in this study is the AHP (Analytical Hierarchy Product) method. Based on the results of interviews processed by the AHP method the development of the KTM Telang hinterland area is carried out by taking into account aspects sorted according to priority interests, among others through increasing power capacity (1.00), developing market networks (0.59), developing irrigation networks (0.41). Furthermore, social aspects are carried out through enhancing the ability of human resources (0.23), cooperation (0.17), improving communication (0.15), strengthening institutions and associations (0.07).
