An imbalance in development between islands in Tanjung Pinang City causes
inner-city disparities due to insufficient development strategies, lack of public infrastructure
and remoteness of islands. On the other hand, properly designed administrative
boundaries can reduce inner-city disparities by enabling good development strategies,
prioritizing public infrastructure development, and connecting the entire area, including
remoter islands. This paper discusses how to re-arrange administrative boundaries,
particularly at the district and sub-district levels in order to decrease inner-city disparities. A
combination method of scoring and participatory mapping is used to suggest new district
delineation for the city. After considering the outputs of scoring and participatory mapping,
the district boundaries were changed from four to eight and then back to six districts. The
paper also proposes key development strategies to boost development in poorer districts
by improving the allocation of new infrastructure investment so as to optimize the impact of
new municipal and provincial government statuses bestowed on the Dompak and
Senggarang Districts. In addition, we suggest that development strategies should provide
adequate infrastructure to connect remoter islands in the Penyengat Sub-district to the
main island.... view less
