Abstract
The biggest obstacle to sustainable development in Indonesia is due to social-environmental factors. The objective of this study is to identify lever variables in the intended socio-environmental factors through dimensional analysis in sustainable development. By using the path analysis methods and secondary data on economic growth, the number of poor people and an index of environmental quality in Indonesia, 2016, it can be proven that poverty has a direct negative effect on environmental quality. This makes it possible to occur in the rural poverty typology because their needs for life depend on natural resources. Therefore, poverty reduction policies should be prioritized in reducing the number of poor people in rural areas.

Summary
Shift in economic structure in Indonesia since 1991 from the agricultural to the industrial sector had an impact on the success of economic development. The consequences of this transformation are the differences in labor income between the agricultural and industrial sectors, which led to poverty, especially in rural areas and environmental quality problems. The results of research in some poor and developing countries showed that environmental quality decreased along with the increase of economic growth. Another problem with economic and environmental development is poverty (Oktavilia et al, 2018). The enhancement of developing countries is desired to alleviate poverty and achieve social equity, but it increases their environmental impact (Scherer et al, 2018)
