Identifikasi Pusat Pertumbuhan Dan Wilayah Hinterland Di Kabupaten Bengkalis

Bengkalis District has a wide area and diverse geographical conditions so that areas far from the service center are difficult to reach facility. This results in uneven distribution of facility so that it can lead to disparities between regions. Therefore, it is necessary to establish an appropriate growth center to prevent regional disparities and facility access to facility.
