Kesenjangan Sosial Masyarakat Urban di Balik Pembangunan Infrastruktur Kota (Studi di Kecamatan Wiyung, Kota Surabaya)

Abstract

The city of Surabaya is the second largest city in Indonesia after the city of Jakarta. Therefore the management and development of infrastructure also runs like a capital city. Various sectors to support the economy can be found in Surabaya. So that many people who come from villages urbanize to cities. Thus, the existing infrastructure in the City must be managed properly. However, in reality, infrastructure development such as public space in the city of Surabaya has created social inequality for the people living around the area. For example, in the South Surabaya area, namely Wiyung District, you can find lots of fast food such as McDonald's, KFC, Burger King, Pizza Hut, Mixue, and several other fastfood restaurants. In addition, some of the land is managed by other parties. In the next few years, other elite centers will be built. On the other hand, indigenous people who live in rural areas feel the impact of social inequality due to uneven development. This clearly shows the difference in social status of the indigenous people of the region. This study uses a qualitative research method by observing, and supporting data obtained from journal articles and news. The purpose of this study was to find out how the form of social inequality experienced by the people around the Wiyung sub-district, Surabaya, was caused by the development of public infrastructure. The results of this study indicate that people in rural areas feel the impact of social inequality caused by the development of public infrastructure such as differences in social status, lack of jobs, lack of social welfare, and the emergence of a shift in people's lifestyles to become consumptive.
