The study by Siboro (2015) shows that Java Island has undergone an economic transformation from the primary sector to the secondary and tertiary sectors over the 2004-2014 range. Rural economic transformation that occurred on Java Island is the process of economic development in Java. However, it is not clear how far the rural economic transformation in Java changed the economic, physic, and social aspect. Meanwhile, the quality of life is important and is the goal of development. There is a problematic discussion in terms of economic transformation work with better quality. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the pattern of relationship of rural economic transformation with the quality of life in Java. This research was conducted using quantitative method and using statistical data from Potensi Desa in Java Island in 2003 and 2014. The main methodology of this research is descriptive statistic analysis to explain rural economic transformation phenomenon in Java, composite index to know the quality of rural life in Java, and association analysis to find out the relationship of rural economic transformation with quality of life in Java. The result shows that economic transformation does not always have a positive relationship to all component of the quality of life. Rural economic transformation has a positive relationship with the quality of infrastructure, education, and health. But the rural economic transformation has a negative relationship with the quality of environment. It is because rural economic transformation can drive the increasing of service and access to society. However, rural economic transformation can also give the negative impact of environment if the process is not controlled properly. <br /> <br /> Keywords: economic transformation, quality of life, rural <br />
