The total population was 3,537 transmigrant households. The size of the sample in this study was determined by using the Slovin formula. The number of samples was 359 respondents, using the stratified random sampling. The research data consisted of primary data and secondary data. The primary data were obtained through structured interviews, in-depth interviews, and field observations. The development strategy of transmigrants’ autonomy in farming was formulated based on the result of SEM (Structural Equation Modeling). The results of the study showed that the strategy to develop the autonomy of transmigrants in farming was by increasing access to resources, support of socio-cultural environment, extension activities, and the quality of individual characteristics of transmigrants.
