Abstract
The imbalance of inter-regional economic development is a common phenomenon that occurs in the process of economic development of a region. This interregional inequality was originally caused by differences in natural resource content and differences in demographic conditions in each region. As a result of these differences, the ability of an area to increase economic growth and encourage the development process also becomes different. Therefore, it is not surprising that in every region there is usually a relatively developed region and a relatively underdeveloped region. This study aims to analyze how big the level of income inequality that occurs between regencies/cities in Banten Province. Identifying the base sector in each district/city in Banten Province, and predicting the base sector in the future in each Regency/City of Banten Province. Data used in this study is secondary data in the form of time series data to see Developments and changes that occur over a period of time. Data analysis used in this research is Location Quotient (LQ), Dynamic Location Quotient (DLQ), Williamson and Thiel Index. The results of this study are inequality that occurred in Banten is measured by using Williamson Index included in the category of Medium Inequality. On the measurement of Thiel Entropy Index, inequality in Lebak Regency is the lowest and Kota Cilegon has the highest imbalance in Banten Province.

Summary
The big problem generally faced by developing countries including Indonesia is the economic gap or inequality in income distribution between high-income groups and low-income groups and the poverty level or the number of people below the poverty line (Nazli et al, 2021; Fadliansah et al, 2021; Wijayanti et al, 2021). Banten Province consists of 4 Cities and 4 Regencies which have inequality in the development of each region. Departing from the phenomenon of inequality in development, it is necessary to conduct a study that can identify the local economic potential of the region in Banten as an effort to reduce the economic disparity of the community between regions. This study aims to map the districts/cities in Banten that are still underdeveloped and at the same time identify and estimate what potential can be developed to reduce economic disparities between regions. Based on the description of the problems that have been described above, this research is interested in discussing the leading and future sectors in the Regency and City in increasing the GRDP growth of Banten Province. From the results of the study, it is hoped that it can be a reference for local governments in developing superior sectors and the basis for sustainable development in the agricultural sector
