Economic Dynamics Of Central Kalimantan In The Perspective Of Sustainable Development: A Literature Review Of The Leading Sectors Of The Region

Central Kalimantan’s economy relies heavily on primary sectors, which leaves it exposed to commodity price swings while demands for sustainable development keep growing. This study examines the region’s economic dynamics, the position of its leading sectors, and the directions that could align their development with sustainability principles. A qualitative library research method was applied to ten open access journal articles published between 2022 and 2026. Data were gathered through documentation, summarized in a matrix, and analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model. The findings show that agriculture, forestry, fisheries, and mining remain base sectors, yet they are classified as advanced but depressed. Construction and information and communication grow progressively, whereas manufacturing remains weak. Agriculture and mining have also lost regional competitiveness. Regional inequality has declined, but environmental risks are rarely taken into account. Agricultural downstreaming, economic diversification, and more even infrastructure are proposed as development directions consistent with the sustainable development goals.
