Abstract
Input - Output Technique with a long history could identify the key sectors of the economics. Identifying the key sector is the engine of development and economic growth due to the unbalanced growth. Application of the Location Quotient Method is the best way to create regional input- output table. The location quotient methods break the national technical coefficients and convert to regional technical coefficient. AFLQ method couldn't adjust the weak sector and this method is incomplete. This paper proposes the better method named MFLQ method. Four weak sector in AFLQ method are key sector but in MFLQ method aren’t; Then MFLQ method is better than AFLQ method.
