significant and positive effect towards Local Revenue. This indicates that the  respective  districtcity  in  South  Sumatra  took  a  positive  policy  in  the
development  potential  and  attractiveness  of  the  area  by  doing  physical development.  Gross  Regional  Domestic  Product  Also  has  a  positive  and
significant  effect  to  the  Local  Revenue.  This  happens  because  the movement of GRDP is dominated by primary and tertiary sectors.  While,
North Sumatera Province is rich in Natural Resource.

C. Framework
The  Tests  associated  with  the  development  of  macro  variables,  such  Total Population, Government Spending and Gross Regional Domestic Product GRDP
that have a functional  relationship with  the Local  Revenue PAD.  In this study, the framework of reasoning as follows:

D. Hypothesis
The hypothesis to be tested on the macro variables in this study are:
1. Presumably
the positive influence between Total Population
towards Local Revenue PAD.

CHAPTER THREE RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
A. Object  Subject of Research
This study is aimed at districts  cities in Riau Province. Pekanbaru municipal elections as the study area due to facilitate the collection of data, in addition
Pekanbaru is the capital of Riau province.
B. Types and Sources of  Data
The data used in this study are primary and secondary quantitative method which is the time series data from 2010-2014. About the Local Revenue PAD,
Total Population, Government Spending and Gross Regional Domestic Product GRDP is obtained from the Office of the Department of Revenue, the Central
Statistics Agency BPS Riau, literature-literature  books and reports related to this writing.
C.
Data Collecting Technique
Data collecting was done in this study by way author proposes permit research to  agencies  associated  with  this  author  in  a  study  area,  after  being  given
permission  research  and  obtain  the  data  required,  and  then  the  data  will  be processed and used as materials analysis to prove the hypothesis that has been put
forward.
D. The Variables Operational Definition of Research
In this study consisted of the dependent variable [Y] is Local Revenue PAD of  Riau  Province,  Independent  Variables  [X
1
]  is  Total  Population,  [X
2
] Government  Spending,  and  [X
3
]  Gross  Regional  Domestic  Product  GRDP  of Riau Province.
Local Revenue PAD is a source of local revenue derived from the results of local  taxes,  levies  result,  the  results  of  companies  belonging  to  the  region  and
other  areas  of  wealth  management  results  were  separated  and  others  Local Revenue  PAD  legitimate  in  Riau  Province.  Unit  in  thousand  rupiah,  data  is
taken from the Central Bureau of Statistics Riau Province 2010-2014. Total Population is the number of people living in the province of Riau. Data
is taken from the Central Statistics Agency of Riau Province 2010-2014. Government Spending is the expenditure including the government sector and
purchases  of  goods  and  services  used  for  the  payment  of  subsidies  which implements  the  functions  of  government.  Government  expenditure  data  is  taken
from the Central Statistics Agency of Riau Province 2010-2014. Gross Regional Domestic Product GRDP is the total value of production of
goods  and  services  produced  in  the  region  regional  within  a  certain  specified time one year in the province of Riau. Data is taken from the Central Statistics
Agency of Riau Province 2010-2014.
E. Analysis Method
Data  analysis  technique  used  quantitative  approach  which  quantitatively explains the object of study is based on facts and data. Then, analyze descriptively
to  answer  the  problem  of  research.  This  approach  is  expected  to  explain  the condition  of  the  object  under  study  to  look  at  the  Total  Population,  Government
Spending  in  the  form  of  direct  and  indirect  spending  and  Gross  Regional Domestic  Product  at  constant  prices  of  the  Local  Revenue  in  districtscities  in
Riau Province. This study uses panel data. Panel data regression is used to answer the purpose
of  this  study  is  to  determine  whether  the  number  of  Total  Populations, Government  Spending  and  Gross  Regional  Domestic  Product  affect  Local
Revenue  in  districtscities  in Riau  Province.  Panel  data  is  a  combination of  time series  data  time  series  and  data  cross  cross  section.  There  are  several
advantages  of  using  panel  data  in  economic  research.  According  to  Gujarati
2010 in Tobing, 2015, the advantage of using panel data is as follows:
1. Data  Panel  is  able  to  accommodate  the  level  of  heterogeneity  of  the
variables that are not included in the model. 2.
Data  Panel  able  to  indicated  and  measured  the  effect  is  the  same  and cannot be obtained with a simple cross section pure or pure time series.
3. Data Panel was able to reduce co linearity between variables.
4. Data Panel can test and build more complex behavioral models.
5. Data Panel can minimize bias generated by individual regression because
more data units.
