centres in Java. The success of Semarang as a port and as a centre of trade and administration by the beginning of the twentieth century brought with it an influx of people, most of whom
were Indonesians from all parts of Java and the outer islands. These people settled in former rural villages which have become densely built up areas; what is now known as kampungs
(unplanned, spontaneous urban settlements), such as Kampung Jayengaten. With the expansion of Semarang‟s urban area these kampungs became physically (if not economically and socially) inseparable from the city. During the Suharto regime, which saw big business as the key to economic development, kampungs were often demolished (and their residents evicted) to be replaced by economically more profitable uses, such as toll highways, factories, office blocks, shopping malls, hotels, etc. Though Suharto has already been deposed for more than a decade, such evictions continue to happen in Indonesian cities. This paper looks at how Jayengaten came into being, as an outcome of Semarang‟s urbanisation, and describe how the same urbanisation process later caused the disappearance of Kampung Jayengaten and the eviction of its residents.
