The research data was collected using a researcher-made questionnaire. The validity of the questionnaire has been confirmed using the opinions of professors and experts. Also, Cronbach's alpha was used to obtain its reliability. The value of Cronbach's alpha obtained is equal to 0.80, which shows that the questionnaire has the necessary validity to measure the research variables and is a desirable number. To analyze the findings of the research, one-sample t-test, multivariate regression analysis and Pearson's correlation coefficient were used.

They are favorable. The results of multivariable regression showed that the financial variable had the greatest impact on sustainable urban development with a beta value of 0.371, and the tourism variable had the least impact with a beta value of 0.132
