Abstract

This article aims to shed light on the impacts of peri-urbanisation processes across two case studies in Port Numbay within the Province of Papua. Five methods were used to gather data: focus group discussions, semi-structured interviews, archival research, ethnographic observations, and remote sensing imagery and geospatial analysis tools. The results generated insights into: (1) the lasting legacy of historical transmigration and decentralisation policies that have influenced the processes of peri-urbanisation in shaping the social and economic conditions within peripheral communities; (2) how peri-urbanisation has impacted biophysical environments including social-ecological systems and environmental health systems; (3) a range of peri-urbanisation trends (land clearing, deforestation and expansion of settlements over time). The article tests an interdisciplinary method for monitoring processes of peri-urbanisation. It concludes that approaches to decentralisation, health service delivery and sustainable development interventions into peri-urban zones should consider local conditions. Recommendations for policy and further research are also provided.

巴布亚的半衰期城市化:对努贝港的半衰期发展和迁移的参与性和地理空间影响评估

本文旨在通过巴布亚省纽贝港的两个案例研究来阐明半城市化进程的影响。本研究采用五种方法收集数据:焦点小组讨论、半结构化访谈、档案研究、民族志观察、遥感图像和地理空间分析工具。结果产生了以下见解:(1)历史迁移和分散政策的持久遗产，这些政策在塑造外围社区的社会和经济条件方面影响了半城市化进程;(2)半城市化如何影响生物物理环境，包括社会生态系统和环境卫生系统;(3)一系列半城市化趋势(随着时间的推移，土地清理、森林砍伐和定居点扩张)。本文测试了一种跨学科的方法来监测半城市化进程。它的结论是，在城市周边地区进行权力下放、提供卫生服务和可持续发展干预的方法应该考虑当地的情况。本文还对政策和进一步研究提出了建议。

期刊介绍： Asia & the Pacific Policy Studies is the flagship journal of the Crawford School of Public Policy at The Australian National University. It is a peer-reviewed journal that targets research in policy studies in Australia, Asia and the Pacific, across a discipline focus that includes economics, political science, governance, development and the environment. Specific themes of recent interest include health and education, aid, migration, inequality, poverty reduction, energy, climate and the environment, food policy, public administration, the role of the private sector in public policy, trade, foreign policy, natural resource management and development policy. Papers on a range of topics that speak to various disciplines, the region and policy makers are encouraged. The goal of the journal is to break down barriers across disciplines, and generate policy impact. Submissions will be reviewed on the basis of content, policy relevance and readability.
