This paper is a summary of the expedition in Southern West Java (SWJ) during our tenure as expert staff of the Senator - a member of the Regional Representative Council of the Republic of Indonesia (DPD RI) in 2009-2014 - and when we served in the Southern West Java Regional Development Agency (BPW Jabsel) 2014-2019. The aim is to find out the implementation of government policies in developing the potential of SWJ's natural resources, especially in the fields of tourism, agriculture, plantations, and livestock as well as the potential of water resources for electrical energy. Based on observations during the expedition, the potential of these natural resources has not been managed optimally, and infrastructure disparities are still experienced in SWJ, far behind when compared to the Western West Java (WWJ), Central West Java (CJW), Northern West Java (NWJ) Regions. To minimize this inequality – conceptually – we offer three frameworks for developing three regional growth centers (PPW) in SWJ, namely PPW Palabuanratu, PPW Rancabuaya, and PPW Pangandaran to make the three areas agropolitan and minapolitan (marine). The photo shows some of the potentials, disparities, disaster threats, and the framework for developing potential SWJs.
