Pembangunan ekonomi daerah berkelanjutan menjadi isu strategis dalam konteks desentralisasi dan meningkatnya tantangan global seperti degradasi lingkungan, ketimpangan sosial, serta ketidakpastian ekonomi. Pembangunan yang hanya berorientasi pada pertumbuhan ekonomi jangka pendek terbukti tidak mampu menjamin kesejahteraan masyarakat secara berkelanjutan. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji konsep pembangunan ekonomi daerah berkelanjutan, mengidentifikasi faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi keberhasilannya, serta merumuskan strategi kebijakan yang dapat diterapkan oleh pemerintah daerah. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah studi pustaka dengan pendekatan deskriptif-kualitatif terhadap berbagai sumber literatur berupa buku, artikel jurnal ilmiah, laporan lembaga internasional, dan dokumen kebijakan pemerintah. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa pembangunan ekonomi daerah berkelanjutan menuntut keseimbangan antara pertumbuhan ekonomi, pelestarian lingkungan, dan peningkatan kesejahteraan sosial. Keberhasilannya dipengaruhi oleh pengelolaan sumber daya alam, kualitas infrastruktur, sumber daya manusia, diversifikasi ekonomi, dan tata kelola pemerintahan daerah. Pemerintah daerah memiliki peran sentral dalam mengintegrasikan prinsip keberlanjutan ke dalam perencanaan, regulasi, dan implementasi kebijakan. Dengan strategi yang terintegrasi dan berbasis potensi lokal, pembangunan ekonomi daerah berkelanjutan dapat menjadi fondasi bagi kesejahteraan masyarakat jangka Panjang.
Sustainable regional economic development has become a strategic issue in the context of decentralization and increasing global challenges such as environmental degradation, social inequality, and economic uncertainty. Development that focuses solely on short-term economic growth has proven insufficient to ensure long-term public welfare. This article aims to examine the concept of sustainable regional economic development, identify the factors influencing its success, and formulate policy strategies that can be implemented by local governments. This study employs a library research method with a descriptive qualitative approach, analyzing various sources including academic books, scientific journal articles, reports from international organizations, and government policy documents. The findings indicate that sustainable regional economic development requires a balanced integration of economic growth, environmental conservation, and social welfare. Its success is influenced by responsible natural resource management, adequate infrastructure, high-quality human resources, economic diversification, and good local governance. Local governments play a crucial role in integrating sustainability principles into regional planning, regulation, and policy implementation. With integrated strategies and the utilization of local potential, sustainable regional economic development can serve as a foundation for long-term regional welfare.
