Abstract

This paper aims to further comprehend characteristic and influential factors of
local potential development in peri urban area of Klaten – Central Java. Simple
descriptive statistic was applied to process the data obtained from questionaire
given to 57 respondents. The respondent are owner of various kinds of smallmedium
industries located in the peri-urban Klaten. The result of the analysis
indicates that the activity of most of local based small-medium industries in periurban
Klaten are still lead to the production -oriented activities. Accordingly,
based on the respondents’ perception, capital, labourers, and raw materials are
chosen as the influential factors to boost the development of their local based
activities. They are very unlikely to consider technology and innovation that may
important to create a more market based products/market-oriented activities as
the influential factors that should be further developed. Therefore, there is a need
of paradigm shift for these economic actors to be directed to a more
contemporary thought that put element of technology and innovation as important
and should be improved rather than keep the traditional thought that only
consider conventional production factors as the key succes factors to develop
such economic activities.
