Abstract
Indonesia’s programme of guided and subsidised migration, now over 80 years old (Swasono and Singarimbun, 1985) has always been related to agricultural development. In the days of the Netherlands-East Indies colonial administration a modest programme was begun in 1905 under the heading of colonisation, with planned population movement to develop arable land on forest and brushland on the larger islands of the archipelago, such as Sumatra, Sulawesi and Kalimantan (See Map 9.1).
