[On the mobile character of the Malay village population: a feature of the post-settlement population of Galok, Kelantan].

The author examines migration trends in Malay villages. "This report deals with the case of Galok, a settlement opened in the last decade of nineteenth century about 40 kilometers up the Kelantan River, based on field data collected in 1970/71 and 1984." The low rate of population growth due to migration is analyzed, with a focus on the impact of rural-urban migration and changes in household composition. (SUMMARY IN ENG)

[Don Daeng village in northeast Thailand: population (2). An estimate of migration by mortality and fertility rates].

"The population dynamics of Don Daeng, a rice-growing village in Northeast Thailand, was studied as part of an integrated village study program in 1981-1984. The mortality and fertility rates since the 1930s were determined from data obtained by interviewing 232 ever-married women who gave birth to 876 children, while those for the preceding periods were estimated from the village population in three separate years and by extrapolation of the trend since the 1930s, which was adjusted for the results of the national censuses....[Results indicate that] immigration dominated until the early 1940s, when paddy acreage could no longer be expanded, and since then emigration has taken place."

[[The duration of postpartum amenorrhea in a Sundanese village]].

"The duration of postpartum amenorrhea of women in a Sundanese agricultural village [in Indonesia] whose last pregnancy resulted in live birth in the past six years was studied. Data were collected from 197 women from September through November 1983....[The] results suggest that the duration of postpartum amenorrhea of women in a Sundanese agricultural village although relatively long, has recently become shorter."

[[A re-examination of Raffles's statistics on the population of Java in the early nineteenth century]].

The author analyzes the accuracy of the population data published by Sir Thomas Raffles concerning early nineteenth-century Java, Indonesia. Specific topics considered include "a. errors in computation, b. distribution of household size by sub-district, c. distribution of sex-ratio by sub-district, d. variation of age-structure by sub-district, [and] e. problems of Chinese population. Special attention was given to the consistency of the definition of categories and the distribution patterns of the reported figures." (SUMMARY IN ENG)

[[Changes in population and households in a Malay village, 1971-1991]].

"The Malay village of Galok in Kelantan was revisited [in]...1991 to investigate the changes in the population and households in the 20 years since the first intensive community study was conducted there in 1970/71. Major economic activities in 1970/71 were paddy cultivation in rain-fed fields, small scale rubber tapping, and newly introduced tobacco cultivation. The village's population increased from 690 in 1971 to 1,100 in 1991, and the number of households from 145 to 211. Despite the increase in population and households, the households cultivating paddy decreased from 71 to 36, those tapping rubber from 94 to 53, and those growing tobacco from 124 to 40, while regular employment, irregular wage labor in the surrounding areas, and temporary migratory work in Singapore increased remarkably. Many people moved out of the village and many others moved in. Though the former exceed the latter in number, the village population is still increasing owing to the high fertility...."

[[Multihouseholdcompounds in a Malay village in Kelantan, 1971-1991]].

The author describes changes in the size and characteristics of multiple-household compounds in Kelantan, Malaysia, during the period 1971-1991. It is found that "in Malay villages, multihouseholdcompounds were in earlier times...based on a bilateral residence rule in which one or more children, either male or female, would stay in the compound of their parents....A recent trend has been for more females to remain in the parental compound than males, reflecting the orientation toward independence among the males."

[Population of Southeast Asia in the mid-nineteenth century: population counts appearing in the Journal of the Indian Archipelago and Eastern Asia].

"This paper aims to compile and evaluate the information on the population of Southeast Asia in the Mid-nineteenth century appearing in the Journal of the Indian Archipelago and Eastern Asia, which was published from 1847 to 1860 in Singapore. The journal contains considerable numbers of population figures for the pre-census period,...[concerning] Sumatra, the Malay Peninsula, the Straits Settlements, Java, Bali, Lombok, Sulawesi, Borneo, and other parts of insular Southeast Asia. The general tendency of the population counts of insular Southeast Asia in this period by the Europeans is toward underestimation. This is especially true for the inland areas of the larger islands, which were remote from the European sphere of influence. Populations of the small islands located on commercial routes are reported relatively accurately or even overestimated. Populations of the European settlements are sometimes overestimated and their growth rates tend to be exaggerated." (SUMMARY IN ENG)

Bangkok's population and the ministry of the capital in early 20th century Thai history.

"This paper...focuses on two related themes which together enable us to put the emergence of Bangkok as a primate city in the 19th century in clearer perspective. First, we review population estimates for Bangkok. Here, the major point is this: Bangkok's population was much smaller than often suggested in the 19th century.... As long as the area of Bangkok was confined, and the population small, city regulation could be maintained within the traditional Siamese social structures, with Bangkok being, in effect, a royal domain.... The second part of our paper looks at the creation and the role of the Ministry of the Capital, formed in 1892.... The linking [of] Bangkok administrative structure with royal interests produced both a physical and economic stamp on Bangkok which has had an enduring effect on Bangkok's development."

[The population and character of traditional communities in insular Southeast Asia].

"This article discusses the character of population distribution and its relation to the structure of societies and states in Insular Southeast Asia in the early and mid nineteenth century. Except in Java and Bali, populations were characterized by sparsity, diversity, smallness, and mutual independence. Despite the effects of crisis mortality, the long-term population growth in the traditional period seems not to have been much different from [that] in India and China, which suggests the smallness of the original or early populations." The author notes that new communities were formed by the separation of settlements in frontier regions and that these patterns continued into the middle of the nineteenth century. The traditional order seems to have broken down in the late nineteenth century as a result of the combined pressures of colonialism and population increase. (summary in ENG)
