Abstract

Nagari Sungai Pua is one of the nagari located in Sungai Pua District, Agam Regency. Since the Dutch colonial era, the people of Nagari Sungai Pua generally have preferred entrepreneurship in the overseas or outside of the nagari area. Therefore, the emigrants of Nagari Sungai Pua have spread everywhere and have a structured organization called the Family Association of Emigrants of Sungai Pua or Ikatan Keluarga Perantau Sungai Pua (IKPS). Although migrating, the emigrants remain residents of Nagari Sungai Pua who also have an obligation to build Nagari. Development in Nagari Sungai Pua is already quite high. In general, every development activity involves emigrants, especially in terms of funding. One example is the construction of the Wali Nagari Sungai Pua office, where 1.3 billion (65%) of the budget came from non-governmental organizations, while another 700 billion (35%) came from the Nagari Funds Allocation. In addition, the construction of religious facilities in each jorong is also built using emigrants. This study aims to describe the participation of emigrants in development in Nagari Sungai Pua.
