Migration And Changes To The Socioeconomic Behavior Of Local Communities: A Lesson From An Emerging Local Industrial Estate

This migration study aims to examine the effect of migrants' socioeconomic behavior on the region of origin and region of destination. It analyzed the impact of migrants' presence on the region's social and economic aspects. In a migration, one will move from one area which he/she comes from to a destination in which he/she brings not only his/her capitals, but also his/her way of life. The destination area to be discussed in this research is the Perawang industrial estate, which becomes one of the biggest migrants-receiving regions in Indonesia. It aims to find out about the driving factors for one to migrate, whether they be push factors, pull factors, or accessibility. Migration led to an increase in population in the Perawang industrial estate as well as social interactions between newcomers (migrants) and local people (non-migrants). Such influx of newcomers eventually induced changes in the socioeconomic behavior of the local people.
