title: The Indonesian transmigration program in historical perspective.
abstract: "The purpose of this paper is to look at what has been achieved by the transmigration program [in Indonesia], to examine the major problems that have arisen and to consider the present constraints which now cast some doubt upon the future of the program."  A historical overview of government policies from 1905 to 1988 is provided, and problems of land supply, land use, and lack of funds are discussed.  Data are from the 1961 and 1980 Indonesian censuses. (SUMMARY IN FRE AND SPA)
