Résumé du colloque

The study will examine the environmental implications of the Transmigration Programme in Indonesia. The program is considered to be the world's largest voluntary assisted migration project. Since 1905 millions of people have been moved from overpopulated areas in the islands of Java, Madura, Bali, and Lombok to new settlements in the less densely populated Outer islands. Many large-scale development projects have been designed and implemented without regard to their impact on the delicate ecological balance or the complex social systems of resource management. Subsequently, such projects have needlessly intensified resource degradation through disruption of traditional cultivation, concentration of population on limited land, water and forests. With the consequence of environmental degradation, it becomes imperative that development must be based upon knowledge of the relationships between the social and economic changes that are introduced and their short- and long-term effects. The study will attempt to contribute to such knowledge by demonstrating the linkage(s) between development (Transmigration Programme), demographic change (Population movement and growth), and environmental deterioration (Deforestation) in Kalimantan (Borneo). Kalimantan is a region characterized by rapid population growth due to the Transmigration Programme and regional development, and environmental decline. The study is informed by the Political Ecology conceptual framework. This framework combines the broad concerns of ecology with political economy, especially the ways that institutions like the state, market, and property rights regulate land use practices.
