Abstract

The interest in regional development planning in Indonesia as well as in many other Third World countries is growing rapidly since the early 1970s. However, the subject matter of regional development planning is still in the process of taking shape. As a consequence, considerable differences exist regarding the interpretation of this field of enquiry and action. The present article aims at addressing three basic questions, i.e.: (i) What is the rationale for the introduction of planning for development on a regional basis? (ii) What types of regional development planning do exist and what are their respective characteristics? and (iii) What are the various implications of the spatial dimension of regional development planning for professional practice? As the understanding of the dynamic situation in an area in a holistic way is a sine qua non condition for the planning of effective development intervention, the input of geography in the regional planning process is indispensable.

Abstract

In this article, the assessment of centrality of settlements in a district in Central Java is discussed This with a view to determine a system of service centres in the area which is functional for regional planning purposes. The study area, Bantu! District, is a densely populated area which boasts a large variety of services. The assumption is tested that both the geographical location of the district, close to the city of Yogyakarta, and the high mobility of the population, due to a well-developed public transportation system, allow for a situation whereby the hierarchical position of a settlement, based on the combination of services provided is not necessarily similar to the centrality of that very settlement, based on the number of incoming interactions. From an analysis of an intensive set of primary data, it shows that although the level in the hierarchy of a settlement largely coincides with its centrality level, the centrality level of some settlements considerably deviates from what might be expected on basis of these centres' service level.
