Abstract
This source provides excellent material on the major productive activities of rural North Central Java, with background information on organization and productivity in other parts of Indonesia and the region in general. The authors are interested in avenues of balanced, sustainable economic development for the regions. They are particularly concerned with devising plans which would integrate the area into the international economy and improve diet, but not increase socio/economic differentiation in the affected population. They present data on aquaculture, fishing and rice cultivation. The primary foci are: 1) examination of the costs and incomes associated with each activity (with attention to the risk factors, scale and capitalization of the productive unit, relative productive stability over time, and intensifiability without environmental degradation; and 2) understanding the relationships among these activities with regard to land use and employment opportunities for a dense and rapidly rising population.
