A!STRACT
!his paper argues that an historical perspecti#e is important in the understanding of
contemporary forced migration in ndonesia) t demonstrates this through an analysis of the
ma8or pre 9:53 forced migrations in the country) t shows that many contemporary
population flows both forced and unforced ha#e their origins in historical forced migration)
For e/ample, urbani;ation in ndonesia in the immediate post independence decades was in a
ma8or way a function of forced migration) Forced migration also has created chain migration
lin1ages between origin and destination along which later non4forced mo#ements occur) t is
also shown that historical forces are often responsible for the political, economic and social

Howe#er, forced migration has a longer history in ndonesia and the present paper see1s to
summarise the ma8or patterns of forced migration, which occurred in ndonesia before gaining
independence and in the early post independence period) !hese migrations pro#ide an
important conte/t for e/amining contemporary forced migration in ndonesia)
DEFINING AND CATEGORISING INVOL"NTAR# MIGRANTS AND REF"GEES
!he migration literature is replete with typologies which differentiate migrants and
migrations according to the relati#e permanency of the mo#e, the distance tra#ersed, the
nature of the boundaries crossed, the causes of the mo#e, the characteristics of the mo#ers,
etc) .ne of the per#asi#e distinctions made between types of population mo#ements is that
between #oluntary and forced migrations which dates bac1 ?6 years to Fairchild@s *9:23-
migration classification) Perhaps the most fre

does not e/ist because, in a gi#en system, he has no alternati#es) ndeed the early typology
de#eloped by Peterson referred to abo#e recognised this degree of o#erlap between #oluntary
and in#oluntary mo#ement and distinguished an intermediate category) He differentiated
between = impelled migration when the migrants retain some power to decide whether or
not to lea#e and forced migration when they do not ha#e this power *Peterson, 9:3?%259-)
!hese are in turn separated from free migration in which the will of the migrants is the
decisi#e element initiating mo#ement)
!here is also di#ersity in the literature with respect to what particular types of
in#oluntary migration can be identified) +uch of this centres around the issue of defining the
term refugee) hile the term refugee migration is in some cases used as a synonym for
in#oluntary migration, others apply it only to a #ery restricted sub4set of all such mo#ements)
!he 9:5B "nited Nations Protocol on &efugees considers a refugee as = e#ery person who,
owing to a well founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality,
membership of a particular social group or political opinion, is outside the country of his
nationality and is unable or, owing to such fear, is unwilling to a#ail himself of the protection
of that country)*Eeely, 9:?9%5-)
An alternati#e approach, which is more congruent with the day to day use of the term
refugee, is that which distinguishes refugees from other migrants by the causes of their
mo#ement) A good e/ample of such a definition is that pro#ided by .lson *9:B:%96-)))
&efugees differ from other, spontaneous or sponsored migrants, largely in the
circumstances of their mo#ement out of one area to another, and the effects these
ha#e on them in the settlement and ad8ustment phases of their relocation) &efugees
are forced to lea#e their homes because of a change in their en#ironment which
ma1es it impossible to continue life as they ha#e 1nown it) !hey are coerced by an
e/ternal force to lea#e their homes and go elsewhere)
-

!his definition stresses the in#oluntary, forced nature of the mo#e, the uprooting
suddenness of most refugee mo#es and the e/ternality to the mo#er of the force or forces
impelling the mo#e) t also implies a substantial degree of powerlessness among the mo#ers
in the decision to mo#e and selection of destination) !here is no consideration in this
definition of the distance the refugees mo#e or whether or not they cross an international
boundary, although .lson points out these spatial factors do affect refugees@ ad8ustment after
flight) !his definition is clearly more holistic and sees refugee mo#es as a subset of all
population mobility rather than of international migration)
.lson@s definition is also broader than that of the ")N) with respect to the nature of the
e/ternal force or forces, the threat or presence of which impels refugee mo#ements) Again, the
"nited Nations definition is somewhat restricti#e in that it refers only to persecution or fear of
persecution as initiating refugee mo#ement) Eeely *9:?9%5- points out that this e/cludes
people fleeing the ra#ages of war, and who are usually considered refugees, although the
broader definitions in wider use usually include such groups) +ore commonly, persons who
are displaced by ci#il conflict or war are also categori;ed as refugees) Some writers, howe#er,
ha#e e/tended the recognition of forces which create refugee mo#ements e#en further and go
beyond the conflicts created by human agents to include people displaced from their home
areas by natural disasters) .lson *9:B:%96-, for e/ample, identifies the following fi#e types
of e/ternal compulsions that alone or in concert create refugees)))
9 Physical dangers *e)g) floods, #olcanic eruptions etc)-
2) $conomic insufficiency *e)g) drought, famine-
) &eligious persecution
7) $thnic persecution
3) deological persecution)
hile it recognised that there are elements of force in much of the mo#ement
characterised as #oluntary, the concentration here is on mo#ers where there has been some

compulsion to mo#e by the sudden onset of life threatening conditions *olberg and Suhr1e
*9:?7%9-) !hese can be di#ided firstly *Hugo and Chan, 9::6- into those initiated by
=natural> disasters although it is recognised that these often ha#e an underlying political,
economic and social cause) !hese are migrants who are forced to flee their home areas by the
onset of *or the fear of- a natural calamity or disaster which include the first two categories of
.lson@s *9:B:- classification of e/ternal compulsions to migration listed abo#e and co#ers not
only the migrations initiated by the sudden and #iolent onset of floods, earth nature of the forces
initiating such mo#ements as being
= characterised by the immediacy of life threatening compulsion, its relati#e
deliberate e/ercise by some agent and the inability of persons affected by it to rely
on their go#ernment for e#en nominal protection)>
t must be stressed, howe#er, that we are referring here to the immediate cause which triggers
the forced migration, not necessarily the deeper underlying long term determinants) For
e/ample, many natural disasters ha#e their root causes in long term political, social,
economic or agricultural practices or policies)
n both of the types of forced mo#ement identified here e/ternal pressures are
paramount in initiating mo#es 4 without the sudden introduction of particular e/ternal forces
the mo#e would not ha#e occurred) As Eun; *9:B%96- points out ))) t is the reluctance to
uproot oneself, and the absence of positi#e original moti#ations to settle elsewhere, which
3

characterises all refugee decisions and distinguishes the refugee from the #oluntary migrants)
n fact Eun; goes on to recogni;e two distinct 1inetic types of refugee mo#ement in which
the chief distinction is the strength of the e/ternal forces impinging upon the potential
refugee)
*a- Anticipatory refugee mo#ements in#ol#e people mo#ing before the deterioration of the
military or political situation becomes o#erwhelming, pre#enting an orderly departure)
*b- Acute refugee mo#ements, where the emphasis is on unplanned flight en masse or in
bursts of indi#idual or group escapes where the o#erwhelming ob8ecti#e is to reach a

!he Dutch historians Jollenho#en *9:9?, %9243- and #an 'eur *9:33%96649- ha#e
summarised patterns of migration in pre4colonial ndonesia as being of three main types each
of which in#ol#ed some elements of forced migration
*a- migration to cities which pre dated $uropean contact)

cities along the coasts of islands such as 0a#a and Sumatra *Hugo, 9:?6-) !he ta1ing of sla#es
was a substantial element in both types of cities) !his is reflected in the data presented in

Substantial agricultural colonisation occurred in the pre4$uropean period) !his was in
large part a response to the build up of population pressure in origin areas so there was an
element of force in this mobility as well) n some cases, such mo#es were triggered by the
onset of physical disasters in the place of origin) An e/ample of such mo#ement was that of
0a#anese from hea#ily settled wet rice *sawah- areas of Central 0a#a to more lightly settled

FORCED MIGRATION IN THE COLONIAL PERIOD
+igration in the $ast ndies was transformed by the gradual penetration of capitalism
#ia the =step by step> growth in $uropean control of ndonesia, culminating in the ta1ing of
#irtual total control in the nineteenth century) As $uropean influence and control increased in
ndonesia during the si/teenth, se#enteenth and eighteenth century, so did their impact on
population mo#ement *Hugo, 9:?6%9664962-, but it was with the imposition of direct colonial
rule by the Dutch *and for a short time ritish- go#ernment in the nineteenth century, which
saw the most dramatic effects) Some of these effects were as follows%
M . !here was probably a greater degree of peace and order, which at least in part remo#ed
the fears associated with forced mo#ement between regions)
. !he whole pattern and a#ailability of transport underwent a re#olution which greatly
reduced the friction of distance)
M . !he structure of the economy was changed drastically in line with the e/ploitati#e
colonial aims concentrating 8ob opportunities in new and different types of areas than in
the past)
M . !here were direct colonially imposed laws to encourage or discourage particular types
of mo#ement)
M . !here was a range of forced and semi4forced labour schemes)

de#elopment of urban centres and migration toward them)
M . !he introduction of #arious schemes of ta/ation had effects on population mo#ement)

hile the mo#ement asteris1ed influenced forced migration in ndonesia, it could be argued
that the enforced imposition of colonialism meant that #irtually all mobility in the colonial
period could not be considered #oluntary) Some scholars *e)g Amin, 9:B7K Gregory and
Piche, 9:B?K 9:?6K insbergen and +eilin1, 9:B?K Gerald4Scheepers and Jan insbergen,
9:B?- see colonial population mo#ement patterns and le#els as a response to broader socio4

aristocracy was installed as regents and became the medium through which the people of
Priangan were forced to grow coffee) !he so4called compulsory crops system, through the
agency of the regents who Geert; *9:5%39- styles labour contractors, inflicted much
hardship on the Sundanese and had an important impact on patterns of population mo#ement)
.ne effect was for local populations to flee the hea#y e/actions of the compulsory crop
system) &affles *9?9B, %57453- states that the oppression and degradation imposed by the
Dutch, led to depopulation in parts of Priangan as well as the anten and Cirebon regions%
$#ery new act of rigour, e#ery une/pected e/action, occasioned a further migration,
and culti#ation was transferred to tracts which had pre#iously scarcely a family on them)
During the early years of $uropean penetration, the sla#e trade in the $ast ndies
continued and proliferated) Sla#ery was not abolished in the Netherlands $ast ndies until
9?56 and prior to that the ta1ing of sla#es as forced labour was widespread practice) riting
in 9?93, &affles *9?9B- mentions that Dutch enforcement of compulsory labour for road and
harbour construction and coffee and pepper culti#ation was particularly oppressi#e in the
antam part of est 0a#a, producing se#ere and prolonged opposition and hea#y
outmigration) !he latter, is reflected in the low se/ ratio of ?5B which characterised the
population in 9?93 *Hugo, 9:B3-) After 9?6 the Dutch initiated a series of politico4economic
policies which were designed to ma1e 0a#a a @mammoth state plantation@ *Geert;, 9:5%3-)

similar systems had been practiced for a century and the system came to be 1nown as the
Preanger System *Hugo, 9:B3-) t is apparent that substantial population mo#ements occurred
with people mo#ing away from areas where the culti#ation system had been introduced to
go#ernment lands not sub8ect to it or to lands held by pri#ate indi#iduals *see Day, 9:67%93

the system were sufficient to impel them to flee) ailey *9:52- suggests that o#erpopulation
in the Gunung Eidul region of Oogya1arta *well 1nown as one of the poorest areas in
contemporary 0a#a- dates from the time when the Culti#ation System was introduced) He
suggests this caused people to flee from better agricultural areas suitable for cash cropping to
Gunung Eidul, which as a poor lime stone area had been left alone by the Dutch)

that many Acenese mo#ed to +alacca after losing a war with the Dutch in 9:6 *9:::%2:-)
.ne part of est 0a#a the particuliere landerijen *pri#ate lands- in the immediate
hinterland of ata#ia comprised e/tensi#e tracts of land sold to indi#iduals between 95: and
9?2: and within which a feudal system pre#ailed until the close of the colonial period)
Although sla#ery was abolished in 9?56, the tuan tanah *landlords- had almost unbridled
power within their estates and many forcibly pre#ented tenants from lea#ing) n effect there
was a =forced staying> in these areas)
t is apparent that there were also forced migrations in colonial times associated with
physical disasters) n 9?? the #iolent e#isceration of the crater of Era1atoa caused se#eral
great wa#es which submerged the entire northern and western anten coasts, destroying 59
#illages completely and a further :5 partially, as well as 1illing a minimum of 2,:9B people
*Furneau/, 9:53%9?2-) !he destruction wrought by the wa#es and #olcanic ash was so
complete in se#eral areas that the fleeing inhabitants could not return for se#eral years by
which time many of the refugees had established themsel#es elsewhere and did not wish to
return) n the worst mid area of Caringan, inhabitants could not return until 9?:9)
!he forced outmigration caused when there were crop failures in 0a#a continued,
especially during the nineteenth century *Eroef, 9:35%B75-) !he introduction of the so4called
=ethical policy> at the beginning of the twentieth century, howe#er, undoubtedly reduced this
type of forced migration) !he ethical policy had an emphasis on =education, irrigation and
emigration> in order to stop the ac1nowledged deterioration of li#ing standards of the
indigenous population that had accompanied the mounting pressure of population on
resources in 0a#a *Hugo, 9:B3%995-) $lements in this system included upgrading local
irrigation systems and put in place systems to deal with seasonal local famine and food
shortage) Jan der +uelen *9:76%939- reports on the impact in one est 0a#a district where

this labour was not a#ailable locally either because the areas suitable for cash cropping,
mining etc) were ecologically not fa#oured for semi4subsistence traditional acti#ities or
because the local populations were in some way considered not suitable for wor1 on
plantations or mines) Accordingly, there were many schemes throughout the colonial period
to bring labour to areas of e/ploitation of resources) n the early days of the J.C, sla#ery
was rife and thereafter #arious types of contract labour schemes were introduced as well as
schemes whereby labour was pro#ided on plantations, roads and other wor1s, etc) in lieu of
paying ta/ation to the colonial regime) !hese mo#ements are considered in some detail
elsewhere *Hugo, 9:?6-)
After 9?B6 pri#ate $uropeans and Chinese were permitted to obtain long term leases
o#er land and there was a tremendous e/pansion of capital intensi#e plantation agriculture)
!his e/pansion occurred initially in 0a#a than1s to its transport facilities, greater public
security and abundant labour supply *Fisher, 9:57%23:-) Howe#er, in the irrigated lowlands
of 0a#a the density of settlement left little land a#ailable for plantation de#elopment and as a
result most of the new plantations were established in the central highlands of 0a#a) y the
late nineteenth century the growing congestion in 0a#a forced colonial planters to turn to the
.uter slands) Prior to 9?B6, Dutch colonial e/ploitation of the .uter slands had been
limited to some coffee culti#ation and coal and tin mining) Howe#er, in the latter years of the
century the fertile northeastern lowlands of Sumatra located on the ma8or sea route to $urope
were de#eloped for tobacco and later for rubber, tea, palm oil and sisal) Hence, this region
became a ma8or new centre of colonial acti#ity) !he scarcity of labour in the region led
planters to initially recruit Chinese coolies to wor1 on the plantations and later 0a#anese and
Sundanese wor1ers from 0a#a) !he result was the introduction of the contract coolie system
whereby agents recruited wor1ers for planters) As Furni#al *9:7?%75- has pointed out a
pri#ate agent dependent for his li#elihood on the number of recruits is less scrupulous than an
official in his relations with both employers and labourers>) Hea#y penal sanctions were

applied to contract coolies and se#ere e/ploitation and mistreatment were commonplace until
recruitment was placed under go#ernment super#ision in 9:6: as part of the ethical policy)
Ne#ertheless, it is clear that there were elements of force both in recruiting and in restrictions
placed on the contract coolies in destination areas)
!he importance of these contract labour mo#ements in interpro#incial migration in the
Netherlands $ast ndies in the later part of the colonial period is e#ident in Figure 2, which
indicates that migration from 0a#a *especially Central and $ast 0a#a- to North Sumatra was by
far the largest interpro#incial flow in the years preceding the 9:6 census) !he bul1 of this
mobility was associated with the contract coolie system) !he significance of contract coolie
mo#ements to Sumatra is reflected in the fact that one tenth of the indigenous population of
Sumatra were born in 0a#a4+adura *Jol1stelling J, 9:5-)

!he contract coolie mo#ements were made on both permanent and temporary bases, but
it was difficult to distinguish between them because temporary migration often in#ol#ed
absences of se#eral years) etween 9:9 and 9:23 some 2B,B66 kulikontrak *contract
coolies- left 0a#a for Tanah Sebrang *the land beyond-, representing some 93L of 0a#a@s
population growth during the same period *Scheltema, 9:25%?B47-) Although many contract
coolies returned to 0a#a, an un1nown but significant number settled in the outer islands and
this is reflected in the fact that at the 9:B9 census, 96 percent of North Sumatra@s population
had li#ed in another pro#ince and more than two thirds of them had li#ed in North Sumatra
for more than 96 years) !his underestimates the impact of migration from 0a#a4+adura since
it e/cludes the Sumatran born children of 0a#an migrants) At the time of the 9:6 Census
enumeration, there were B:,666 coolies wor1ing on $uropean estates in Sumatra, of which
2:6,666 were 0a#anese and 6,666 Sundanese *Jol1stelling J, 9:5%7-)
!here was also an international e/tension of the contract coolie system) A small number
of 0a#a4born persons mo#ed out of ndonesia during the last century of colonial rule, under
contract4coolie recruitment programmes to obtain cheap labour for plantations) n 9:6, for
e/ample, there were ?:,B3 0a#a4born persons *ahrin, 9:5B%2?6- and 9B6,666 ethnic
0a#anese *Jol1stelling 9:5, J%73- in +alaya, 9,666 emigrants in the Dutch colony of
Surinam and 5,666 in New Caledonia *Jol1stelling 9:, J%73-) Smaller numbers mo#ed

efore 9:9 there were some e/perimental attempts to establish agricultural colonies of
settlers from 0a#a in the .uter slands, mainly Sumatra, but the two ma8or colonies in 9:6
had a total population of only 9,B3: persons *Pel;er, 9:73%9:94296-) Howe#er, when the
depression of the 9:6@s forced curtailment of plantation industries and reduced the demand
for 0a#anese labour, the go#ernment turned to coloni;ation to replace contract4labour schemes
as a measure to relie#e population pressure in 0a#a *Pel;er, 9:73%22?-) Hence, between 9:5

rural4to4urban migration of refugees in Southeast Asian urbanisation n times of political

Goantiang *9:53- stresses the importance of refugee mo#ements in swelling the population of
many of ndonesia@s cities o#er that period) For e/ample, he reports a field sur#ey underta1en

andung was ndonesia@s fastest growing city between the census of 9:6 when its
population was 955,?93 and that of 9:59 when it had reached :B2,355) !he pattern during the
inter#ening period, howe#er, was one of massi#e fluctuations) As was the case in 0a1arta,

year of arri#al in andung of migrants still li#ing in those two sub4districts is 9:5:) oth
sources are incomplete but they indicate the ma8or patterns of forced migration to the city)
Pea1s of inmo#ement are e#ident at the time of the transfer of so#ereignty from the Dutch, the
onset of the D)) rebellion in the early 9:36s and the mid 9:36s decline in registration due to
the closing of the city) t will be noted also that there was an upswing in inmigration in
9:53) !his was again largely due to refugee mo#ements, on this occasion people displaced by
the #iolence and disruption caused during the attempted coup, although this dislocation was
not as great in est 0a#a as elsewhere in 0a#a and ali)
!he implications of the DP mo#ement to andung during the 9:36s are considerable)
Abo#e all they ga#e the city perhaps the most rapid rate of growth of any ma8or city in
Southeast Asia during the 9:36s) n fact population pro8ections of the world@s million cities
made in the early 9:B6s by the "nited Nations Population Di#ision *Fre8i1a, 9:B7%96499K
ose, 9:B7%76479- designated andung as the fastest growing city in the world)
t is clear that the refugee mo#ements were a ma8or catalyst in the growth of andung)
t was suggested that the impact of such influ/es of refugees is essentially temporary
*+cNicoll, 9:5?%73- but field in#estigation in andung would indicate that this is not the
case) Although it was clear that most rural4urban refugees mo#ed to andung with the
intention of returning to their home #illage when security is restored, there is e#idence that the
longer the period of insecurity in the home place, the more li1ely they are to settle
permanently in their urban refuge) Certainly many refugees to andung returned to their
#illages as soon as security was restored, but Figure 3shows no massi#e net migration loss
from andung when normalcy returned in its hinterland) !hus, at least among those refugees
who were sufficiently committed to andung to register as citi;ens of the city, it was #ery
common to remain in the city after security was restored in their home #illages) ndeed

Se#eral other conflict4induced refugee migrations in ndonesia ha#e been referred to in
!able 2 and Figure ) !hese include se#eral mo#es which were associated with the struggle
for ndependence against the Dutch) n 0a#a much mo#ement focused on the capital of the
guerillas, Oogya1arta) $lsewhere the typical pattern was for people to flee to the interior
away from the Dutch controlled coastal areas as Naim *9:B%93- has described for est
Sumatra) !here were se#eral short li#ed rebellions in#ol#ing former members of the colonial
army immediately following the granting of independence which initiated refugee flows)
!hese were located in the pro#inces of est 0a#a, South Sulawesi and +alu1u *+cNicoll,
9:5?%7-) !his initiated the refugee flow of some 7,666 Ambonese *South +oluccans-
soldiers and their families *totaling 92,366 persons- to the Netherlands, along with a larger
number of ndonesians of mi/ed Dutch4ndonesian parentage) y the early 9:?6s the South
+oluccans in the Netherlands had grown to number 3,666 *oldring, 9:?6%33-) Another
group of refugee flows are those associated with the P&& and Permesta rebellions in Central
Sumatra and North(Central Sulawesi respecti#ely *Figure 9-) !hese were separatist rebellions
inspired by the belief that the 0a#a4focused central go#ernment neglected the interests of
smaller numerical groups located in the periphery ;one of the .ther slands) +cNicoll
*9:5?%7?- and Naim *9:B%9:- ha#e shown that although these conflicts were fairly short4
li#ed they initiated some significant refugee flows) +cNicoll *9:5?%7:- points out that these
flows tended to be dominated by the educated sections of the population, while those forced
to mo#e by the Darul slam rebellions tended to be generally representati#e of the total
resident population in the areas of conflict) Acti#ities of separatist mo#ements such as the
Free Papua +o#ement *.P+- ha#e also initiated refugee flows from rian 0aya) !hese
ha#e not only occurred within that pro#ince but a substantial flow occurred into neighbouring

#ictim not only to ar but to star#ation and disease as well@ *0en1ins, 9:B:b%27-)
A final group that needs to be considered in any comprehensi#e discussion of forced
migration in ndonesia is the Chinese) hile some Chinese settlement and so8ourning in
ndonesia predated $uropean contact, it wasnIt until the full de#elopment of colonialism that
the Chinese were encouraged to mo#e in large numbers to the $ast ndies) n colonial times
there were #arious restrictions on where they could settle) !hey were concentrated
particularly in urban areas but also were spread through rural areas as well) !hey tended to be
employed in commercial acti#ity medium and small4scale trade, foremen and white collar
occupations) n the post4ndependence period there were pressures on the Chinese
population, which in some cases produced migration) t is apparent that the growth of 0a1arta
and andung in the 9:36s was assisted by the displacement of Chinese from est 0a#a)
Chinese were sub8ect to great pressure in se#eral rural parts of est 0a#a and indeed at the
end of the decade legislation was passed which forbade Chinese and other foreigners to
operate a business or own land in rural parts of the Pro#ince) Hence, all remaining Chinese
were forced to migrate into the cities *Hugo, 9:B?%3-) n 9:56 also Chinese residents in
ndonesia were forced to choose between Chinese and ndonesian citi;enship and as a result
many Chinese returned to China) !here was a net emigration of 972,53 Chinese nationals
between 9:32 and 9:59, 962,2:B in 9:56 *Hugo et al), 9:?2-)
t is clear that the mo#ement of Chinese was one of the elements of forced migration
which contributed substantially to urbanisation in ndonesia in the first post ndependence

of Chinese occurred in 9:3: after the promulgation of new regulations prohibiting aliens from
engaging in retail trade in rural areas and a special army ordinance forced aliens outside the
towns to relocate *S1inner, 9:5%993-) !hus, in contemporary est 0a#a it is an e/tremely
rare occurrence to encounter Chinese in #illages) !his mo#ement to the cities
counterbalanced to some e/tent an outflow of repatriated Chinese city dwellers to China)
Another ma8or mo#ement of Chinese refugees is referred to in !able 2, namely that in
est Ealimantan where Dya1 insurrections against Chinese traders in the interior of the
pro#ince forced most of the Chinese li#ing there to flee to Pontiana1, 0a1arta or to emigrate)
At the end of 9:5B, it was estimated that there were 23,55: refugees in Pontiana1 City and
22,522 in the neighbouring regency of Sambas *ard and ard, 9:B%79-) t is estimated that
a third of the total refugee population were forced to mo#e *around B3,666- with about half
settling in the ma8or towns, and most of the rest were established on land close to the towns)
Jery few Chinese now remain in the Dya1 areas) ard and ard *9:B%7:436- suggest that
the abandonment of the interior by the Chinese has resulted in much wet rice land going out
of production and production of cash crops li1e pepper and rubber has also declined due to the
absence of their capital and s1ill) t is clear too that the rapid growth of Pontiana1 between
the 9:59 and 9:B9 censuses *)? percent per annum, or nearly twice the pro#incial growth
rate- is largely due to this forced refugee migration from the city@s hinterland)
!he focus here has been on conflict induced migration but other forms of forced
migration ha#e also occurred in post independence ndonesia) !here ha#e been many
e/amples of people being forced to migrate because of the fear or onset of a natural or
physical disaster) ndonesia has more than B6 acti#e #olcanoes which ha#e caused calamities
at an a#erage of around once e#ery three years causing 976,666 recorded deaths *Awanohara,

times greater) !he 9:5 eruption of +t) Agung in ali displaced ?3,666 people, while that of

*Awanohara, 9:?2%724-) 'ucardie@s *9:B:- study of the people of +a1ian in +alu1u
pro#ince of ndonesia has documented the repeated abandonment of settlements after #olcanic
eruptions and for fear of new eruptions o#er the last 66 years) His study focuses especially
upon a go#ernment scheme to gradually e#acuate the entire 95,666 resident population of the
island because #ulcanologists ha#e predicted the e#entual eruption of +a1ian@s #olcano which
would lead to a disaster comparable to that of the e#isceration of Era1atoa in 9??) 'ucardie
*9:B:- documents the opposition of residents of +a1ian to the go#ernment program to
resettle them on another island to escape from the ris1 of the eruption of the island #olcano)
.ther more or less forced migrations initiated by go#ernment policy decisions are also of
rele#ance here) !he construction of large scale de#elopments li1e dams usually in#ol#es

the massi#e refugee flows to the city of andung initiated by the Darul slam rebellion in the
9:36s were important in encouraging the growth and e/pansion of that city) Howe#er, this
impact should not 8ust be measured in terms of the large number of refugees which remained
behind in the city since it is clear that once security returned =chain migration> of permanent
and temporary mo#ers continued to andung from the former Darul slam areas and that the
pioneers of these chains were refugees) Another e/ample in ndonesia is that of migration
from ali to the .uter slands of ndonesia, especially Sulawesi and Southern Sumatra) !he
first ma8or transmigration from ali occurred due to the forced e#acuation of people displaced
by the eruption of +t) Agung #olcano in 9:5) Howe#er, the success of these transmigrants
has greatly encouraged family and friends to follow them) !he information flow, money
remittances, #isits etc), which ha#e followed the forced migration, ha#e led to the
establishment of a much larger spontaneous flow) 'inetonIs *9:B3a and b- study of ugis
migration from South Sulawesi to the east coast of Sumatra produced similar findings)
n addition, the role of forced migrations in lifting the le#el of urbani;ation in ndonesia
should also be stressed) !his is especially true in that much of this impetus was gi#en during
the early postwar period when the le#els of urbani;ation were #ery low in most countries of
the region) n ndonesia, flows of internally displaced persons played a ma8or part in the
massi#e growth during the 9:36s of cities li1e 0a1arta, andung, +a1assar and a host of
smaller fast growing cities) !his ma1es it all the more surprising that such mobility gets little
if any attention in research relating to rural urban migration and urbani;ation not only in
ndonesia but Southeast Asia more generally) As Goodman and Fran1s *9:B3%9::- point out,
Despite the fact that internal wars ha#e occurred in e#ery country in Southeast
Asia, most research on urbani;ation does not assess either the relati#e importance
of internal warfare for o#erall rates of migration or the impact such warfare has on
the pattern of urban growth)

Although the numbers of people in#ol#ed in this type of migration were by no means as
large as, for e/ample, the contract coolie mo#ements, they had a significant impact in the
homelands of the groups in#ol#ed) n 9:6, for e/ample, only ?B)3 percent of ethnic
+inahassans from north Sulawesi were li#ing in the +inahassan heartland *0ones, 9:BB%3-) )

in colonial cities such as ata#ia, Surabaya and andung) Goos;en *9::B%54B- points out
= those who entered the colonial ser#ice as soldiers, officials or household ser#ants were
integrated into the estern culture which tended to alle#iate them from their countrymen)>
!here ha#e been =echo> effects of these policies in contemporary migrations) Firstly,
there was a significant number of +oluccans from Ambon who remained loyal to the Dutch
and upon independence went to the Netherlands and their children remain a significant
minority group there) t could be too that antipathies between these groups and some other
ndonesian groups could ha#e been influenced by their different colonial histories) Similarly,
the pri#ileged position gi#en to the Chinese in the colonial political4economic structure
undoubtedly has been an element in shaping anti4Chinese conflict in independent ndonesia)
+oreo#er, it is argued elsewhere *Hugo, 2662- that understanding historical migrations
in ndonesia are an important influence upon contemporary conflict4induced migrations) !he

!he areas where transmigrants ha#e come into conflict with local populations ha#e been in
est and Central Ealimantan, Central Sulawesi and est Papua) !hese are areas where a
predominantly +uslim transmigrant population from 0a#a has come into contact with a local

the conflict as a +uslim4Christian confrontation) !here ha#e been elements of the

Hence, while the conflict induced DPs are often depicted as an e/ample of the effects
