Economic development is an effort  to reduce poverty in order to achieve prosperity through increased income. Economic development can be influenced by economic, social and environmental factors. This study aims to identify the socio-cultural relationship with economic development through a literature study with the object of the Batak Angkola community in North Padang Lawas district. The results of the study indicate that in theory the socio-cultural environment has a relationship with economic development. The socio-cultural environment includes traditional ceremonies such as birth customs, marriage customs and death customs. In addition, poverty, human resources and capital formation are also related to the success of economic development. This local wisdom is still ongoing today because the Batak Angkola people adhere to the philosophy of Hamoraon, Hasangapon, Hagabeon

Deveiopment planning in India, as in other developing countries, has generally been aimed at fostering an industrially-oriented policy as the engine of economic growth. This one-sided economic development, which results in capital formation, creation of urban elites, and underprivileged social classes of a modern society, has led to distortions in the social structure as a whole. On the contrary, as a result of this uneven economic development, which is narrowly measured in terms of economic growth and capital formation, the fruits of development have gone to the people according to their economic power and position in the social structure: those occupying higher positions benefiting much more than those occupying the lower ones. Thus, development planning has tended to increase inequalities and has sharpened divisive tendencies. Victor S. D'Souza, an eminent Indian sociologist, utilizing the Indian census data of 1961, 1971, and 1981, examines the problem of structural inequality with particular reference to the Indian Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes - the two most underprivileged sections of the present Indian society which, according to the census of 1981, comprised 15.75 percent and 7.76 percent of India's population respectively. Theoretically, he takes the concept of development in a broad sense as related to the self-fulfIlment of the individual. The transformation of the unjust social structure, the levelling down of glaring economic and social inequalities, and the concern for the development of the underprivileged are for the author the basic elements of a planned development. This is the theoretical perspective of the first chapter, "Development Planning and Social Transformation".
