ABSTRACT
Rapid population increase in southeast Asia has led to vigorous efforts in a number of nations to reduce its magnitude (Stamper 1973; Keeney 1973; Whitney 1976). In contrast, much less attention has been given population redistribution, its effects on urban and rural growth, its volume and character, or its implications for development. Lack of concern with such issues stems partly from paucity of data, compounded by serious questions about the appropriateness of concepts employed to measure people's mobility.
