| Summary: | The emergence of the term studentification, introduced by Smith in the early 2000s,
has expanded the study of gentrification by focusing on students as the primary
agents. This phenomenon typically occurs in areas surrounding universities, whose
presence significantly influences the characteristics of their environments. While
previous studies, particularly in Indonesia, have highlighted the stages of the
studentification process, there has been limited exploration of how university
development impacts changes in the surrounding area's characteristics. This study
aims to explore the dynamics of university development and its influence on
demographic, social, and economic transformations during each phase of the
studentification process.
The study takes Ciumbuleuit, Bandung, as its case study area, given the significant
changes that have occurred since the establishment of Parahyangan Catholic
University (Unpar). Using a historical approach and mixed methods involving
qualitative descriptive and descriptive statistical analysis, this research identifies
four phases of studentification: (1) pre-studentification, (2) the surge in student
population, (3) student population dominance, and (4) the establishment of area
identity. The findings reveal that university development drives demographic
changes marked by the displacement of local communities, economic
diversification dominated by student-oriented businesses, and a decline in social
interaction between students and local residents. This research provides a more
holistic understanding of the dynamics of studentification, particularly within the
Indonesian context, and highlights the contribution of university development to the
transformation of surrounding environmental characteristics. |
