Aims and Scope

Journal of Property, Urban, and Regional Economics (JPURE) is a peer-reviewed, open-access scholarly journal published by Yayasan Riset Properti, Ekonomi, dan Kemanusiaan, a legally established non-profit foundation registered under Decree No. AHU-0010373.AH.01.04 Tahun 2024. The journal is dedicated to advancing rigorous academic scholarship and evidence-based policy dialogue in the fields of property economics, urban economics, regional development, public finance, land and property valuation, spatial governance, and public asset management.

JPURE provides an academic platform for scholars, researchers, practitioners, policymakers, valuation professionals, urban planners, public officials, and development institutions to disseminate original research articles, review articles, conceptual papers, methodological papers, and policy-oriented case studies. Through a rigorous peer-review process, the journal promotes high-quality research that contributes to theoretical development, empirical analysis, institutional innovation, and practical policy design in property, urban, and regional economic studies.

The journal welcomes manuscripts that examine how land and property markets, public finance systems, infrastructure investment, spatial planning, regional policy, public asset management, urbanization, and institutional governance shape economic growth, spatial equity, fiscal sustainability, social welfare, and sustainable development. JPURE particularly encourages studies that connect property and land dynamics with broader questions of public policy, local government finance, urban transformation, infrastructure financing, regional competitiveness, environmental sustainability, and inclusive development.

The journal serves as an interdisciplinary forum for research at the intersection of property studies, economics, public finance, urban and regional planning, valuation science, public administration, infrastructure policy, and spatial analysis. It supports scholarly contributions that combine strong conceptual foundations, robust empirical methods, policy relevance, and practical implications for local, national, and international development contexts.

JPURE maintains a strong commitment to academic integrity, originality, transparency, and ethical publishing practices. The journal expects all submitted manuscripts to comply with internationally recognized standards of research ethics, publication ethics, peer review, authorship, citation practice, plagiarism prevention, and data transparency. By upholding these standards, JPURE seeks to ensure that every published article provides a meaningful contribution to academic knowledge, professional practice, and evidence-based policymaking.
