Abstract
Indonesia's transmigration project is the biggest government sponsored resettlement in the world that has been promoting an internal migration and resettlement based on agrarian rural reform. While transmigration accelerated rural development through agricultural production, the program has been criticized for several mismanagement as well as unanticipated impacts. The study was conducted in Sitiung, West Sumatra where dam-induced relocation and resettlement of people from Wonogiri, Java took place in 1977. The field study consisting of questionnaire survey and measurement survey targeting 102 households were conducted in 2015-2017. The study found that most of basic infrastructures have been improved with a support from community organizations, at the same time, many houses made several renovations, enlargements and even built new houses to improve their living conditions over the years.
