Loss of Sense of Community Togetherness In Town

Lifestyle of the people now are far different from the first community. Sense of community has begun to fade dilimgkungan community, especially the community town all seemed to have disappeared without a trace. In the past, our neighbors every day always met and exchanged greetings, but now what is happening within the quasi-public city busy with the affairs of each and underestimate the association community. There's even one month more neighbors never met, even though his house side by side.

It all is a matter of ironic is not it? Where is our sense of community. Have we already forgotten the way of life of Indonesian society that is more concerned with unity than individuality. We live in Indonesia, not in America.

In the urban area the impact of migration is a fundamental problem that must be faced, because of the consequences such as "urbanization as a way of life". The birth of the urban life style (individual extreme, calculating and competitive nature, concerned with outward appearance, emphasizing the things of a personal nature, nature is indifferent and aggressive nature of the townspeople). Contradictions surrounding the collective consumption, land seizures or evictions city-dwellers expulsion of squatters, cultural conflicts and so forth. These things are not found in rural areas. The characteristic feature of full mutual cooperation, mutual help between people and suave in rural ties thick, very contrary to that found in urban areas. Collisions is what causes the feeling of foreign migrants and frustration in addition they have to continue to sustain life, on the other hand they feel unable to face tough competition to live in urban areas.

This situation will make it easier for migrants perform acts that violate the norm (deviant behavior) or lapse into criminal acts.

Another thing to note is that the symptoms of underdevelopment city as a result of the rapid migration in the urban centers. Although the infrastructure in the city has been upgraded and income has generally increased, but the statistics and their government survey data clearly shows the gap between the rich and poor has widened over the past 15 years. There appears to be a relatively stable core population groups within the community whose income is higher and the size much less than the low-income population. The core is surrounded by a floating mass of people who are highly mobile nature. They may be seasonal migrants who are constantly moving in different residential areas.

The relationship between migration and other deviant behavior is also evident from the fact that the inability or failure of the newcomers to show the role of performance in social relationships are often pushed chosen ways to deviate in its various forms. Anomie will occur in an environment where people realize that they can not achieve the aspirations and goals of the dominant culture through legitimate means. Individuals may be aware for example, that no matter how hard he works, he can not reach the expected level of material wealth. In such circumstances, the deviant behavior may arise.
