Ekspansi Geografis dan Perampasan Lahan: Sisi Lain Pembangunan Yogyakarta International Airport

Abstract

The construction of the new airport in Kulon Progo, Indonesia does not stop at the seizure of people's agricultural land. The seizure will expand due to displacement capital to obtain a new space for capital accumulation. With its various designs, space is conditioned in such a way as to maximixe the capital accumulation. As a displacement capital, YIA will connect the business sectors, especially tourism. In this article, I try to uncover the spatial expansion that occurs due to the construction of the new airport and how the space is defined as capital accumulation by using David Harvey and Henri Lefebvre. Through spatial analysis, this article explains how infrastructure development affects to the marginalization of the people through spatial projections made by the state and corporations. In addition, the imagery of spatial expansion also influences the expansion of labor transferred for the needs of capital accumulation.
