Urbanization in Indonesia Only Make Poor Population Makin

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com – Urbanization has been a key event in the life of the city.

Each year, the villagers moved to the city for work reasons. Cities in Indonesia to grow an average of 4.1 percent per year and the current World Bank notes that 52 percent of Indonesia’s population live in urban areas.

The World Bank predicts that by 2025 there were about 68 per cent of Indonesia’s population the citizens who live in the city.

Nevertheless, the level of urbanization in Indonesia has not been able to be a factor that makes a prosperous population in both urban and rural areas.

“urbanization in Indonesia is not welfare. in Indonesia one percent urbanization correlation is low with the increase of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita, “said analyst Urban Trisakti University Wicaksono Sarosa, as a speaker in the seminar urbanization, Urban Housing, and Housing Finance in Indonesia at the Grand Hyatt in Jakarta, Monday ( 07.11.2016).

According to him, urbanization in Indonesia, unlike in China, Thailand, and Vietnam are precisely the prosperity and welfare of the population.

Instead of the welfare of the population, urbanization in Indonesia just move the poor people in the village become poorer when it comes to town.

It then becomes a challenge for both central government and the region to be addressed so that urbanization does not increase the burden of urban areas.

“This mirror, because we are not prepared for the urbanization of rural areas to cities. What we want from the poor in the village become prosperous in the city, “added Wicaksono.

Therefore, Abrams suggested that the urbanization process is following the pattern in China at the beginning of growth, namely by implementing a national urban policy.

the trick is to create new centers of concentration in addition to Jakarta and major cities so that uneven population distribution and not only focused on in one place.

“there needs to be a clear policy on how to deal with this situation. As there is a strong legal umbrella so that the city did not grow up just like that, their own way, “concluded Wicaksono.
