KOTA: DARI PERSPEKTIF URBANISASI
Abstract: The growth of urban
population in Riau province since last few decades has showna trend of
continuous increase. Although, there were some trends of constant and
slightlydeclining percentage of population in some urban areas and newly formed
districts, in overallthe number of population was increasing. This phenomenon
can be observed in the numberof population growth since last few decades.
During the years of 1971 to 1980, the averagegrowth of urban population
increased about 1.53 percent annually. The growth was continuedto increase in
the next decades which was during the years of 1981 to 1990 to an average
of2.67 percent annually. Furthermore, it was recorded in many literatures that
since 1930 to 1990,despite of the fluctuation in the percentages, the increase
of the percentages were significant.The increase is predicted to be continued
to higher levels in the future years.Another important implication is the sharp
change of population proportion since 1990 to2000 which was caused by
inter-regional development and expansion activities in the scopeof economic
development regulation.Further meaning of those implications is that there is
animbalance distribution of population in the district and urban areas. These
efforts shallcontinuously be improved. On the other hand, if the actual
development of urban areas is notorganised or left as what is progressing now
such as in Indonesia, the pseudo urbanizationmay occur in the area.
