ABSTRACT

Southeast Malang is one of the most dynamic areas in Malang in the 19th–20th century. This is due to the fundamental socio-economic changes from a subsistence society to an industrial society and into a working-class society. This research aims to explore the impact of environmental changes on the patterns of community life that occur there. The locations of this research are Dampit, Tirtoyudo, and Ampelgading. The research method used was historical. Data was collected through interviews, field observations, and documentation. The study results indicate the presence of social changes caused by ecological transformation as an indirect impact of dozens of private coffee plantations in this region.
