Abstract

The term ‘Naturbanization’ is used to explains the process of urbanization in the influence of natural/national parks. One of the evidences of Naturbanization is the number of people migrating to rural areas in search of better environmental quality or employment opportunities, especially in tourism sector. There has been concern that economic-driven migrants are more likely to have positive attitude towards changes in rural areas which might lead to environmental degradation in the long run. Therefore, this study aims to explore whether residents’ attitude towards changes in rural-natural areas, or Naturbanization, is associated with their motivation for migration. The attitude is represented by eight variables which consists of four themes: the increase of population, the activation of economic activities, investment in infrastructure, and land-use change. The chi-square test suggests that residents’ attitude towards Naturbanization is not defined by their motivation for migration, whether economic or environmental.
