This study used Theil index and regression analysis. The results of analysis using the Theil index indicate the existence of inequality between different development regions in the Riau Province with the percentage 50%-70%. From the regression analysis, this paper found that some economic and social factors were the important factors of development inequality in the province such as human development index and infrastructure budgets.
