Abstract
Different potential economic sectors in the main district and expansion can occur because there are differences in the characteristics and potential of each area. This research aimed to determine the economic structure in main district and expansion, to analyze the impact of the expansion towards the potential economic sectors, and to formulate the policy of potential economic sector development in post-expansion. Lampung Province, Indonesia, was used as the case study, i.e. in Tanggamus and Tulang Bawang Districts. These districts have expanded to Pringsewu, Mesuji, and West Tulang Bawang as the new autonomous regions. The method that used in this research was quantitative descriptive approach with an analysis of Location Quotient, Shift-Share Analysis, and Klassen Typology. The results showed that there were differences in the economic structure after expansion in the District of Pringsewu with dominance in the tertiary sector/services, while the main District of Tanggamus dominated in primary sector/agriculture. The District of Mesuji and West Tulang Bawang had relatively similar in economic structure with the main district of Tulang Bawang. The development of potential economic sectors prioritized in advanced sectors with high growth, considering the local and regional potential, the quality of human resources, the distance location, regulation, roads infrastructure, and other supporting facility and infrastructure
