Abstract
Regional economic growth is closely related to the optimization of the use of natural and human resources. This study aims to analyze: (1) The use of natural and human resource potential works as a determinant of the economic growth of Bulukumba Regency; (2) The influence of natural resources, human resources, community culture and regulation on economic growth in Bulukumba Regency. The research method used is a combination of mixed models, namely a combination of quantitative and qualitative approaches. Data was obtained through observation, survey and documentation. The results of the study show that optimizing the use of natural resources without human resource development causes its contribution to economic growth in Bulukumba Regency to be quite low which becomes an obstacle to the acceleration of economic development. The influence of natural resources, human resources, and community culture together has a significant effect on economic growth in Bulukumba Regency with a coefficient of determination 47.2%. This study recommends optimizing resource potential and strengthening human resource capacity through the use of technology and changes in community culture, which will encourage economic growth in Bulukumba Regency, South Sulawesi Province, Indonesia.

Summary
A country is said to be advanced when its economic growth is higher than in other countries and it has a GDP per capita of 12,375 USD [1]. One of the indicators of an advanced country is economic growth 7.5% off from the state trap with a middle-income trap [2]. The growth was due to increased capital accumulation affected by tariff magnitude. Reductions in the tariffs on capital goods and intermediate inputs led to higher investment in foreign capital goods, whereas reduction in the output tariff resulted in lower investment [4]. A lot of capital accumulation in a country will drive increased productivity of products and services. Successful catchup requires the ability to produce goods of better quality and lower prices than those produced by incumbent firms from advanced countries [5]
