The study aims to identify the complex of population movement in two dukuh, Kadirojo, and Piring, in Yogyakarta Special Region. There are three kinds of population movement in these two dukuh: commuting, circulation, and migration. A dramatic increase since the seventies in the volume and distance of commuting and circulation reflects the extension of rural roads and the growth of the mini-bus. Rising levels of formal education and the adoption of agricultural innovation also have increased the number of individuals who aspire to spend longer periods in towns and cities. Despite these changes, the mobility of dukuh people remains a bio-local system, tightly anchored to the home village and various destinations. Circular movement is a form of linkage between rural and urban areas and is important in achieving a closer interaction between rural and urban people. |
