title: Land development and transmigrant farmers in Southern Sumatra, Indonesia.
abstract: "This paper discusses...the impact of land ownership on the transmigrant farmer's participation in new land development for irrigated paddy fields, taking Lampung Province (the pioneer settlement of the transmigration programme) as the specific area of reference.  Special attention is focused on the case of the Way Rarem Irrigation Project in the northern part of Lampung, Southern Sumatra.... There is no evidence in this analysis to support the hypothesis that the income level of the farmer contributes to the progress of land development.  The ethnicity or province of origin is also insignificant in its effect on land development.  Similarly, transmigration status does not show any significant relation to land development."
