This study aims to clarify, based on both micro and macro perspectives, the demographic dynamics and related socio-spatial changes in the Jakarta metropolitan area. Focusing on the area\u2019s rapid suburbanization (urban sprawl) and associated demographic changes, we adopt a multi-scale approach by employing a micro-scale analysis based on intensive field research together with a macro-scale analysis based on statistical data. We also further develop our unique research framework, which is based on a combined micro-macro perspective.<\/p>\n
This joint research project aims to clarify demographic dynamics and related socio-spatial changes in the Jakarta metropolitan area by combining macro analysis of socio-economic statistical data with the micro analysis provided by anthropological and sociological research.<\/p>\n
Although scholars have acknowledged the importance of combining macro and micro perspectives, a solid methodology has thus far not been established in Southeast Asian urban studies. The study analyzes demographic and geographic data using informatics and a Geographic Information System. The research team includes anthropologists and sociologists with first-hand experience of fieldwork in large cities in Indonesia who will be involved in the entire analytical process of statistical data (including the selection of perspective, problematics, identification of relevant variables and interpretation of findings). We hope that our research will be valuable to the broader urban planning process and policies of the Jakarta metropolitan area, and potentially present a model for other metropolitan areas in Southeast Asia.<\/p>\n
In FY2020, our team successfully applied for a Kakenhi (Grant in Aid for Scientific Research) C, securing funds for further research and analysis in the coming three years. Our priority for FY 2021 is to input and begin examining data from Indonesia\u2019s Village Potential Statistics (Podes), and identifying critical variables for understanding the demographic dynamics of contemporary Jakarta\u2019s metropolitan area. We are also planning to contribute several papers to academic journals, including the Japanese Journal of Southeast Asian Studies<\/em>.<\/p>\n
