| 研究実績の概要 |
Over the first two years of this project the principal achievements have been as follows:
① Investigated current housing and living conditions for residents at four sites in Jambi and West Sumatra provinces (Tebo regency and two sites in Muaro Jambi regency in Jambi; Dharmasraya regency in West Sumatra)
② Investigated transmigration policies, implementation and outcomes for transmigrants, local residents and the economic, social and physical environment
③ Examined a case study of dam-displaced residents from Wonogiri, Central Java to learn about resettlement of displaced residents via the transmigration program
For ①, Japanese and local faculty and students visited all four field sites on eight separate occasions and conducted household surveys, housing assessment, focus group interviews and key informant interviews. For ②, interviews were conducted with officials at the village, sub-district, district and regency level, and we met four times with Transmigration program administrators in Jambi province and researchers at the Ministry for Village, Disadvantage Regions and Transmigration in Jakarta. For ③, interviews and household surveys were conducted at two destination sites for displaced transmigrants in Sumatra and farmers, other local residents and local officials were interviewed at the Gajah Mungkur dam watershed in Wonogiri, Central Java. Findings of the research were presented at the International Geographical Union Regional Conference in Beijing, China in August 2016 and at the Society for Applied Anthropology Conference in New Mexico, US in March 2017.

理由
In accordance with the initial research plan field visits were made to four transmigration destination sites in central Sumatra and surveys conducted for more than 230 households. Interviews with local and national officials provided policy information and statistical support, and narratives by transmigrants helped to provide historical context. In addition, research was conducted concerning inclusion of displaced residents in the transmigration program, a line of inquiry that has not previously been addressed in academic publications.

| 今後の研究の推進方策 |
During the final year of this project the researchers intend to identify optimal indicators and finalize the creation of a framework that will allow village-level assessment of transmigration outcomes that can be conducted on an expanded scale in Indonesia and other developing countries. By holding a workshop at Kyoto University and a seminar at Bogor Agricultural University near Jakarta we intend to disseminate our findings to both the academic community as well as those involved in transmigration planning and implementation, including officials from the Ministry of Village, Disadvantaged Regions and Transmigration as well as officials, researchers and local leaders from central Sumatra. Finally, we intend to draft papers for international journals and make conference presentations on transmigration impacts and assessment.
