This proposal requests funds to permit Drs. Thomas R. Leinbach                  and John F. Watkins, Department of Geography, University of                     Kentucky, to pursue with Dr. Fachrurrozie Sjarkowi and                          Mr. M. Bakir Ali, Faculty of Agriculture, University of                         Sriwijaya (UNSRI), Palembang, Indonesia, for a period of 24                     months, a program of cooperative research on employment                         decisions, mobility, and enterprise development in Indonesian                   transmigration.  The transmigration program, an important                       element of Indonesian development planning, seeks to improve the                living standards and employment opportunities for previously                    landless agriculturists by moving them from densely populated                   Java and Bali to relatively underpopulated Sumatra.  The central                objective of this research will be to derive empirically a                      series of models which generalize types of transmigration                       household employment behavior with respect to off farm                          activities.  These models will be contrasted with and tested                    against a series of hypotheses which form a theoretical model.                  Primary data for the research will be gathered from household                   interviews and several case studies in a sample of ten                          transmigration villages of South Sumatra province.  Both                        sponsored and voluntary settlement households will be studied.                                                                                                  The Indonesian transmigration program is an attempt to                          redistribute the population from densely populated areas to                     relatively underpopulated ones.  This program benefits the                      nation by relieving population pressures, improving the economic                well-being of the settlers, and providing development planning                  of the underdeveloped out islands.  The testing of the                          generalized descriptive and predictive models will contribute to                the understanding of employment behavior in rural settings and                  the role of short term mobility in these strategies.  The                       collaborators are highly respected scientists in the field of                   this research.  The present project will allow them to combine                  their talents and interests for mutual benefit.  This project is                relevant to the objectives of the Science in Developing                         Countries Program which seeks to increase the level of                          cooperation between U.S. scientists and engineers and their                     counterparts in developing countries through the exchange of                    scientific information, ideas, skills, and techniques and                       through collaboration on problems of mutual benefit.
