EFFECT OF URBANIZATION
Lots of young villagers abandoned their home village and move to big cities. One who graduated from universities feels that village is not the place where he can advance his knowledge, science and ability. The other considers that being villager will only become a farmer or a peasant who harvests his corps only two or three times a year while some others believe that being citizens will heighten their status, prestige and dignity. Above all, cities have dozens of attractions like amusements centers, sport stadiums, shopping malls, various kinds of jobs, and other facilities. Living in cities ones will earn more money than what they do in villages, therefore, cities are their target. Citizens who live in elite housing complex tend to be selfish and those who live ghettos or slum areas are easy to be provoked to make disturbances. The haves pollute the city with the emission of their cars, whereas the have-notes scatter garbage and dirty their residence because they are not accustomed to cleanliness and healthiness.
The question is who can stop urbanization whenever there is no balance of development programme on any sectors applied both in cities and villages. Then, this becomes the burden of local authority because stopping urbanization is violating the human rights. It is, f course, an unsolved problem, and return to home village is still a dream for a very few people.
