Urbanization and Economic Development in Indonesia: Demographic Perspectives Analysis
Get PDFThe level of urbanization has increased from 17.2% to 49.7% in the last three decades. The urbanization process in Java is occurring more dramatically and rapidly compared to that in outer Java. There is a growing trend of urbanization in the Java Islands, where the level of urbanization has increased from 11.55% to 33.64% in 1971-2010. The ratio of urban population of all the provinces in Indonesia was greater than 20% in 2010 exclude East Nusa Tenggara. There is a strong positive relationship between the level of regional economic development and level of urbanization. Evaluation of urbanization can be improved from two aspects: first, the forward conditions of urbanization can be analyzed, such as the number of non-farm jobs, infrastructure level and the supply capacity of public services. Second, the forward effects of urbanization should be comprehensively evaluated, including economic, social, and environmental sustainability
Dinamika Perkembangan Etnis di Indonesia dalam Konteks Persatuan Negara
Get PDF Banyak pandangan yang menyebutkan bahwa etnisitas merupakan penghambat untuk kesatuan dan persatuan. Hal penting yang menjadi tantangan ke depan adalah mendudukkan variasi etnik sebagai bentuk kemajemukan bangsa yang mendukung persatuan negara. Dengan menggunakan data Sensus Penduduk di Indonesia, yakni Sensus Penduduk 1930, Sensus Penduduk 2000 dan Sensus Penduduk 2010, tulisan ini mencoba mengungkapkan dinamika etnis di Indonesia dalam perspektif historis. Penelitian ini mendiskusikan dinamika perkembangan etnik di Indonesia serta melihat bahwa keanekaragaman etnik tersebut dapat menjadi tantangan dan pemacu dalam persatuan negara. Melalui masyarakat multikultural yang saling menghargai perbedaan kebudayaan, akan dapat tercipta masyarakat yang memiliki pandangan, jiwa, dan tujuan yang sama. Selain itu, perwujudan dari perkembangan etnik di Indonesia juga harus disertai dengan adanya dukungan kebijakan pemerintah yang tidak hanya memihak pada golongan mayoritas saja karena asas yang dikedepankan adalah persamaan dan menghargai hak atas perbedaan kebudayaan
Illegal Journey: The Indonesian Undocumented Migrant Workers to Malaysia
Get PDFThe objective of this study is threefold. First, it uses fieldwork to explore the illegal journey of the Indonesian undocumented migrant workers, including all processes and interactions. Secondly, it identifies the substantive factors behind illegal influx into Malaysia. Thirdly, it draws out the implications from the illegal journey undertaken by them to Malaysia. This qualitative study applies the grounded theory approach. The result of this study shows that social capital within their network expands through various channels, particularly friendship, brotherhood, neighborhood, community and ethnic grouping. It also permeates strongly beyond government authority and regulation. They have constructed social classes among themselves. However, they have also been less able to get the social access because the absence of official documents deprives their human rights, and they are also blamed for social ills. Therefore, the regulation for both countries must recognize the rights, improvement governance, strengthen the integrity and curb corruption
