T he transmigration program which is based o n the Indonesian goverment regulation No. 3 1972, and No. 13 1997 is quite very importent- Besides the improvement on the migrants’ welfare and the people around their surroundings, the equal distribution of development and the opening up of new employment opportunities, this program also promotes the development of one million hectare of reclaimed land in the district of Kapuas.T he district o Kapuas as n ew town with f modern agruculture, intends to be permanently self reliant in rice, and at the same time anticipating in fbture to have a ll t he necessary required food. T he transmigration program which is done on a reclaimed land, particularly in Central Kalimantan, generally speaking, it h as not been successfkl. This can be attributed to infertile soils of the region, inadequacy of manpower, and lack of enough infiastNctures and facilities. Without the goverment intervention, this program will not be able to improve on t he incomes of t he migrants. The research question now is,” What policy that must be taken by t he goverment to overcome this problem in the district of Kapuas?”. This research study was designed to answer this question. The research study used both quantitative and qualitative research methods. The selection of policy recommendations was based on Franklin method. non dominant, and equivalent alternative methods. These were based on techniques, economic, social, legal, administrative and political. In the issuing selection, agriculture rationality got the highest s o r e of 3.8. Therefore agriculture rationality was the best policy altematif which needed to be implemented. The research findings indicated that in the resettlement of migrants, there was still a lack of coodination among the concerned institutions responsible for the program, the level of education and s i l was still very low, the average income was kl still very low as compared to the percapita income of t he Cenral Kalirnantan people. The purpose of t he study was t o sustain the already existing program, to invite or attract investors, and to rationalise agriculture. The ultimate objective of this policy was later to improve on t he incomes of the migrants, to have maximal utilisation of the reclaimed land with the hope this could consequently lead to improved agricultural productivity. Thus, sustaining national sufficieny in food self reliance.
