Poor migrants in Bandung: settlement and employment

REA Auditado

Sukapakir is the real but appropriate name of a poor urban kampung in southwestern Bandung. It is one of the most densely
populated neighbourhoods of the town now, although some forty years ago it was still a largely rural district. On the fringes of
Sukapakir, one finds even today a few sawah fields, planted with kangkung (a sort of spinach) and watered by the little streams
that function as drains and into which various industries and thousands of households have deposited their waste.
