Quantitative analysis reveals regional competitiveness negatively affects public welfare, while e-government enhances efficiency in Central Java.
Key Points
Public welfare is significantly improved by the electronic-based government system index and negatively influenced by the regional competitiveness index.
The analysis used regression methods on secondary data from government sources, covering Central Java from 2019 to 2023.
Regional innovation and investment were found not to significantly influence public welfare, indicating a need for policy optimization.
This highlights the importance of e-government initiatives and calls for inclusive regional competitiveness strategies to benefit all citizens.
