Authors have been conducting the field research on urban villages in the developing regions. Kampungs in Surabaya, Indonesia are the first and continuous targets to trace the spatial formation and transformation. We carried out the intensive field survey on the same two Kampungs in 2006, which we had surveyed in 1984. This paper clarifies the changes of kampungs during these twenty years and discusses the transformation process of kampung formation and kampong houses.
The changes of kampong houses are drastic but follow the transformation process we clarified in early 1980s. The kampungs become more densely populated and houses with two or three floors increase rapidly. It is remarkable that inhabitants groups are divided into two, the rich and the poor, the settler and the migrants.
