The study aims to measure human capital from both quantitative and qualitative aspects using the Alternative Human Development Index (AHDI) approach, mapping the distribution of economic growth and human capital using the Geographic Information System (GIS) approach, measure the convergence rate of economic and human-capital growth, analyze the influence of human capital and location factors on economic growth between regions in Indonesia. The research was carried out in the period 2016-2020 with a total of research objects from 514 city districts in Indonesia. The data used are secondary data from the Central Statistical Authority, The Ministry of Education, Culture, Research and Technology, The Health Ministry, the Department of Home Affairs, the Minister of Finance, the Ministry of Public Works and People's Housing, and The Indonesian Geospatial Portal. The analytical tools used in the research are Geometric Averages, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), β-convergence, Regression Data Panels, and Spatial Regressions Data Panels.
The results of the research show that (1) the measurement of human capital between regions in Indonesia using the AHDI approach yields lower values compared to the Human Development Index (HDI), but can describe human capital more comprehensively because of the use of more human capital dimensions; (2) the results of deductions of economic and human capital growth indicate that there is an inequality between areas in Indonesia; (3) the rate at which the convergence rate of economic growth and human capital leads to convergences; (4) human capital has a positive and significant impact on economic growth between regions of Indonesia; (5) location or spatial factors have a significant positive effect on economic and interregional growth in Indonesia.
