Urbanization in the Solomon Islands, accompanied by rapid population growth and a cash economy, has been recognized as potential risk factor for people’s well-being. This study, based on research performed in a town and a rural village, aimed to explore the ecological and socioeconomic process of urbanization by analyzing variations in household subsistence and cash-earning strategies. Households were classified into three groups: (1) those in the town with regular cash-earning jobs, (2) those in the town with no regular jobs, and (3) those in the rural village. According to the data, households in the town with no regular jobs earned as little cash as those in the rural village and had crop yields as low as those in the town with regular jobs. This was thought to be caused by land degradation, deteriorated natural resources, and the limited availability of wage labor. Households in town were economically vulnerable and risked poverty and other hardships.
