notes dis. Saraswati, Kampung Sawah, an Exploratative Study on Squatter Settlements in Jakarta, Soc.Fac, 1981 
Intro: threats to demolish K.S. began in 1980
K.S. covers 7 1/2 ha. and stretches across two kalurahan, Tanjung Duren and Palmera, in w. Jakarta
surveyed all 566 KK. in K.S and constructed life profiles for 9
acc. to Saras, K.S. first settled by farmers in 1955 who transformed it from a swamp to rice fields; only later became a dense settlement because squatters no access to adm. or social services
to reach K.S. turn left from Jl. S. Parman onto Jl. Taman Angrek
Kali Grogol runs thru front of the kampung
Chapter 1:  (theory and method - skimmed only)
p.1 - Sujatmoko's "kemiskinan struktural"
- Penny and Singarimbun's demographic explanations of poverty
- migration to urban areas caused by rural poverty
enter the informal sector
Kal. Tanjung Duren lies in Kec. Grogol Petamburan 
in Jak. are 3 general types of slums: 
1. poor but legal (resmi) kampongs
2. squatter kampongs whi resemble the above but have no legal rts.
3. shanties (gubug-gubug) along river banks and on public lands where real gelandangan live
all things being equal squatters will try to occupy land which is close to the areas where they can most easily earn a living
some people move from place to place as experience repeated pengusurans demolition
p11
while true that mun.govn. often experiences slums as a barrier or factor causing delay in dev. plans, demolition not a permanent solution since forced to squat somewhere else in the city 
goals of the research are:
1. to describe socio-econ. structure of K.S., majority of residents being migrants from rural areas
2. describe their coping strategies and development of community solidarity
3. provide input to decision makers on probs. of urban poverty and squatter housing problems
