Abstract

This study aims to determine the impact of migration on the economic conditions of former migrant workers in Lakmaras Village, Lamaknen Selatan District, Belu Regency. The study was conducted from February to August 2025 using a quantitative approach. Primary data were obtained through questionnaires, interviews, and observations, while secondary data were collected from supporting documents and literature. The study sample consisted of 71 respondents, determined using the Yamane formula with a 10% margin of error. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive quantitative methods to describe the economic conditions of former migrant workers based on income, employment, education level, and asset ownership. The results indicate that migration has a significant and positive economic impact on former migrant workers. Migration enables them to accumulate assets such as land, houses, and vehicles, which serve as productive capital and improve family welfare. Furthermore, migration opens up opportunities for job diversification and increases household economic capacity. Overall, migration plays a strategic role in wealth formation, improving economic status, and contributing to local economic development. Future research is recommended to use a qualitative approach to deepen understanding of income management strategies and the challenges faced by former migrant workers.

Abstract

The increasing population growth in urban areas has caused problems related to limited residential space. This study aims to analyze the relationship between population density and building density on the availability of residential space in Taubneno Village and Kota Baru Village, Kota Soe District, South Central Timor Regency. This study uses a descriptive method with a quantitative approach through Normalized Difference Built-up Index (NDBI) analysis. Data were obtained through literature studies, Population data collection, remote sensing (Sentinel Imagery and Soe City administrative boundaries), observation, and documentation. Data analysis was carried out to determine the category of population density and building density in each village. The results of the study show that the population density in both villages is classified as High, with Taubneno Village having a larger population, compared to Kota Baru Village. Based on the results of the NBDI analysis, most areas of Taubneno Village are dominated by dense buildings, while Kota Baru Village shows an uneven pattern of building distribution, with dense areas in the center of the Village and sparse areas on the outskirts. These findings indicate a strong relationship between population density and building density, with higher population densities contributing to higher building density. The results of this study are expected to inform sustainable spatial planning in Kota Soe District, South Central Timor Regency.
