Abstract

Human development has always been as the main topic of sustainable development. Improving the
human quality as responsibility of all people, especially the government in term of allocation roles to provide
different types of services such as education facilities, health and road infrastructure. The Social indicators to
measure the success of human development used the human development index. This study empirically
analyze the effect of health expenses, education and road infrastructure as well as the growth of the population
as a control variable to the index of human development in the District/City of East Java. Data were collected
from 29 districts and 9 Cities of the year 2007–2012. To analyze the panel data of district/City, we use a fixed
effect model (FEM). We found a statistically significant and positive effect between government expenses on
education and government expenses in the health sector to the index of human development, while government
expenses in infrastructure and population growth have no significant influence to the index of human
development but have a positive direction.
