Abstract

This study evaluates the condition of public facilities and infrastructure in the Labangka Transmigration Area as a basis for strengthening area development grounded in local potential. The evaluation was conducted through descriptive analysis, spatial analysis, content analysis, and SWOT and PESTEL approaches to identify existing conditions, service accessibility, and strategic intervention needs. The findings indicate that educational and health infrastructure in the area remains insufficient, characterized by limited facilities at the secondary education level and the absence of referral-level health services. In addition, most Posyandu facilities and primary education infrastructure are in substandard to unfit condition. The road network also exhibits substantial structural gaps, with a predominance of severely damaged and unpaved segments, particularly in Labangka Village, Suka Mulya Village, and UPT Prode SP III, thereby hindering accessibility and reducing logistical efficiency. The accessibility analysis reveals pronounced spatial disparities in education and health services, which may further exacerbate social inequality. These findings underscore the need for place-based prioritization of basic infrastructure development to foster a more livable, productive, and sustainable region.
