Mapping of Studentification Process in Tembalang Higher Education Area

The development of the University of Diponegoro as one of the biggest universities in Indonesia is signed by the increasing of the students’ number. The increasing of this students’ number has also been followed by the rising of students’ rooms demand and all of students’ facilities. These students resided in the settled settlement that inhabited by the Tembalang’s local community. As a consequence, their existence influences the local community and shapes the neighbourhood differently. Then, it causes the studentification process. Studentification is a process which presence of the students replaces the local community and influences the neighbourhood both in physical and social economic aspect. The identification of studentification in Tembalang was conductedby in-depth interview and field observation. Analysis showed that studentification in Tembalang included as the third wave studentification that signed by a great students’ movement along with campus centralization in Tembalang and many private landlords that invested in boarding house business. Competition to provide the boarding house between the local community, private investors (individual), students’flat, and a private students’ apartment made the existence of local community more pressed.
