Abstract

This study found that there was dis-catchment in the archipelagic area within Sumenep Regency. The regency has two separated areas while the capital is located in the mainland area. Imbalanced development exists between these two areas: a more developed mainland and underdeveloped archipelago. This study was conducted at the end of 2017 in Kangean Islands that consists of three districts, Kangean, Kangayan, and Sapeken. Secondary data in the form of Developing Village Index (DVI) and Village Development Index (VDI) was confirmed through interviews and observations employing a data interactive model. By combining Developing Village Index and Village Development Index, the archipelagic area fell into the category of a deprived region. The mean of the two indexes for Sumenep Regency was lower than the mean for East Java Province; lower indexes of villages within the archipelagic area contributed to this. Lower indexes represent people who live in poverty as well as poor facilities and infrastructure. Lack of governmental capacity is the main problem for public service and development administration. Separation of local government should be implemented to overcome the problem; in other words, the archipelagic area or the islands should have its own government because it has different characteristics from the mainland area.
