Hidup Segan Mati Tak Mau (Unwilling to Live But Don’t Want to Die)

Melihat kembali proses modernisasi yang mulai mengarah ke kawasan sudut pinggiran perkotaan yang diceritakan lewat sudut pandang para petani tambak di Keputih, Surabaya Timur.

Proses pembangunan yang mulai merebak di awal tahun 2000 mulai menggerus lahan tambak petani dan mempengaruhi hasil ikan yang mulai menurun semenjak adanya pembangunan masuk.

Singkatnya, terjadi ketimpangan sosial yang muncul antara penghuni kawasan elit perumahan dengan petani tambak yang semakin merana semenjak adanya pembangunan masuk.

In English:

Looking back to the process of modernization that began to lead to urban outskirts, told through the viewpoint of the fish farmers in Keputih, Eastern Surabaya.

The urban development process and it's constructions that started to emerge in the early 2000s began to erode the fish ponds and resulting the outcome of the fish/harvest to decline.

In short, there is an emerging social inequality between the elite residential area residents with fish farmers who is increasingly miserable since the construction projects went in.
