Abstract
As a global problem that relates to the Sustainable Development Goals
(SDGs), violence against woman (VAW) also exist in Indonesia. Although
many Indonesian scholars gives attention to VAW, the current
knowledge still ignores the relationship between the neighborhood and
VAW. This study investigates the influence of neighborhood
disadvantage and social disorder on the likelihood of violence against
woman (VAW) in South Sumatra, Indonesia. Data from PODES 2018
census (Potensi Desa or Village Potential) for South Sumatra Province
were analyzed using logistic regression techniques. Fifteen independent
variables have identified as a covariate of the incidence of VAW at the
neighborhood level (Y). Five independent variables are representing
neighborhood disadvantage and ten independent variables
representing social disorder. The result shows that the final model of
logistic regression can estimate VAW (Y) as much as 11% significantly,

(6) = 68.03, p < 0.01. All independent variables have a positive
association with VAW (Y) and contribute to Y as follows: 455%
(combustion/X9), 348% (corruption/X14), 152% (drug/X10), 114%
(riverbank settlement/X2), 102% (theft/X5), and 76.9% (fraud/X7). They
have different level of significance as follows: p < 0.01 (X10, X9, X2), p <
0.05 (X5 and X14), and p < 01.0 (X7). These findings suggest South
Sumatra Province (SSP) to introduce a new incentive to the farmers so
that they do not depend on fire in land clearing, continue the ongoing
efforts to eradicate corruption, cooperating with a broad community to
eliminate the criminal act, and improve the quality of the welfare of the
population through various development programs.
