Abstract
Rural poverty is still a major problem for regional development in Indonesia. Kecamatan Kokap (district) in Kabupaten Kulon Progo, which is part of the Strategic Region for the New Yogyakarta International Airport (NYIA), is a rural area that has the highest rate of poverty inKulon Progo. In fact, the development of NYIA and its strategic regional development plan will transform conditions and the main activities from a rural setting to more urban and agricultural activities into non-agricultural activities. This study aims to investigate the characteristics of rural poverty in Kokap using the deprivation trap of poverty, a framework that describes rural poverty as a multi dimensional condition. The study uses a quantitative approach and employs interviews directed via questionnaires with poor households in Kokap as the respondents. The sampling technique used is probability sampling with incidental sampling, in addition to descriptive statistical analysis techniques. The results show that rural poverty in Kokap Sub-district is a complex phenomenon that is strongly influenced by the regional conditions where the poor families live. This is a key finding in formulating strategies to prevent poor rural communities to be caught in a poverty trap amid significant changes that will occur in thearea.
