Summary
Indonesia merupakan sebuah negara berkembang yang memusatkan perhatiannya pada pembangunan, namun pembangunan dan percepatan pertumbuhan ekonomi yang terjadi di Indonesia dominan terjadi di kota-kota besar. Hal ini menimbulkan suatu fenomena gerak penduduk (migrasi desa-kota) yang pada akhirnya menimbulkan komunitas-komunitas miskin di perkotaan. Terjadinya gerak penduduk dan timbulnya komunitas miskin di perkotaan tersebut dipengaruhi oleh representasi sosial tentang kota pada komunitas miskin di perkotaan. Penduduk di wilayah ini terdiri atas 628 jiwa dengan jumlah warga miskinnya sebanyak 43 Kepala Keluarga (KK). Sebanyak 38 Kepala Keluarga dari 43 Kepala Keluarga yang tergolong warga miskin tersebut adalah kaum migran yang membentuk komunitas dan berprofesi sebagai pekerja sektor informal yang penghasilannya jauh berada di bawah Upah Minimun Provinsi (UMP) DKI Jakarta. Berdasarkan latar belakang tersebut, maka menarik untuk dikaji lebih dalam mengenai karakteristik komunitas miskin di perkotaan dan bagaimana representasi sosial tentang kota pada komunitas miskin di perkotaan. Pengkajian tentang representasi sosial ini terkait dengan teori representasi sosial yang mengatakan bahwa representasi sosial dapat merubah perilaku seseorang
