A meta confirmatory factor analysis of the underdeveloped areas in the Java Island

Abstract

Underdeveloped areas are regencies whose territories and communities are less developed than other regions at the national level. The regions of Java island are faster-developing areas than other areas outside of Java, but there are still areas in Java that are classified as underdeveloped areas. The backwardness of the area is measured based on six main criteria, namely economy, human resources, infrastructure, regional financial capacity, accessibility, and regional characteristics. This research can be carried out by compiling a model on the influencing factors of underdeveloped areas with the meta-analysis CFA TSSEM approach. The results of this study show that the analysis of the structural model can be accepted to explain the underdevelopment of areas in Java based on the result the Goodness of Fit Indicates, it is the RMSEA < 0.008 so it can be confirmed that the indicators used in infrastructure variables, HR variables, and regional characteristic variables are suitable to be used to measure the underdeveloped areas in Java.
