Track: Systems Dynamics

Abstract

The Region of Yogyakarta (DIY) is one of the regions in Indonesia. Community growth in Yogyakarta reaches 1.34% in 2017 which can cause various problems such as unemployment community that continues to grow every year. In addition, another serious problem in Yogyakarta is high congestion which is implicated by the increasing number of population in DIY. Those problems have a bad influence on regional cash which is very useful in the development of the area. This study aims to increase regional cash of DIY by considering available employment and traffic congestion. Because the problem is so complex, a system dynamics approach is used to solve it. Based on the simulation results using Powersim 2005, the main cause of unstable regional cash is the high cost of building new roads, the cause of high cost of building new roads is congestion, and the cause of congestion is the high demand for vehicles by residents of the Yogyakarta area. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the level of demand for vehicles to increase the cash of the DIY area. By reducing the demand for vehicles to 0.00003, which initially 0.00005 has succeeded in making the regional cash stable and increasing continuously. In addition, to increase employment in order to eliminate the population unemployment in Yogyakarta, it can be done by increasing the growth rate of new companies. By increasing the growth rate of the new company to 1.2 which initially 1 has succeeded in making employment increased continuously.
