The agricultural sector is the main sector almost in every region in Indonesia and also in Central Java. The agricultural sector needs more land for agribusiness development. Agribusiness development referrals are away on making use of those potentials. This study aims to determine the land priority area for agriculture development based on human and economic resources in Central Java using DR (Dependency Ratio), LP (Labour Productivity), LQ (Location Quotient), Food Security, and Land Carrying Capacity (LCC) and the analysis using SWOT method. The results showed the DR is <50, and the labor productivity in the industrial sector is greater than the agricultural sector. The GDP of the industrial sector is greater than the agricultural sector, in which the value of LQ> 1, where the agricultural sector is the main sector and the agribusiness sector is expected to improve the welfare of the population through poverty reduction and the increase of HDI in Central Java.

Indonesia is an archipelago country consisting of large and small islands with a large number of approximately 17,508. Some of the islands are among the border to neighboring countries. One of the islands is a border area of land that is found on the island of Borneo, especially West Kalimantan Province. West Kalimantan province is directly adjacent to Malaysia. The identic character of the Indonesian border area is largely a lagging region. Determination of priority areas is certainly needed as an effective way of developing these border areas. The objectives of the research include (1) identification of the distribution of lagging priority areas in West Kalimantan Province, (2) give recommendations related to development of lagging priority areas. Overlays of lagging region parameters and economic productivity are used to determine priority areas. The result of identification is known that Bengkayang Regency, Kayong Utara, and Melawi are the lagging priority areas. Recommendation given to the lagging priority regions are through regional development model and also based on determination of base sector.

The earthquake of May 27th 2006 has caused drought to several water sources in Mangunan village. Hence, it needed a preliminary study on the hydrology condition in the aftermath of earthquake in Mangunan Village – Bantul. Methods to identify the hydrology availability and water need condition using data calculation discharge and geometric population growth. According to the measurement result in Mangunan Village, the actual water availability is 128,484 m3/day, which can cover the water requirement to fulfill the need of the people amounting to 657,75 m3/day. Although, in fact, the village potentially has enough water availability with the amount of 14.037,845 m3/day. So, a further research could be done to achieve a stable condition of the dynamic discharge. Groundwater conservation is very needed in this research area. In general, the dry region in the village needs to be planted with vegetation that are resistant to dryness in the region with shortage of water and also with plants that do not absorb much groundwater or soil mosturizer.

Gorontalo is the smallest province in Sulawesi Island with the higher population density than three other provinces. But, it has large agriculture area with the corn as the highest exported commodity in 2019. Most of people in Gorontalo Province are working in agriculture sector. Although the number of population are increasing every year, the agriculture land are still existing in Gorontalo Province. This study focuses on population dynamic and agriculture land management in Gorontalo. Secondary data from Statistic Board Center of Indonesia are used to assess the population dynamic, such as population growth rate, population density, and population pressure on the agriculture land. We used time series data from 2008 until 2017. The data then analyzed with descriptive quantitative method by discussing the results of data calculation. The results show that although there is an increasing of population density in Gorontalo Province, but the population pressure is low. The optimum development on agriculture sector in Gorontalo Province affect the high productivity on many agricultural commodities, especially for corn crop. So, the agriculture land area are still prioritized in this region.

Kota Semarang merupakan ibukota Provinsi Jawa Tengah yang memiliki potensi alam untuk dikembangkan menjadi destinasi wisata unggulan di Indonesia. Tujuan penelitian ini yaitu: 1) mengidentifikasi kekuatan, kelemahan, peluang, dan ancaman destinasi wisata di Kota Semarang; dan 2) merumuskan strategi pengembangan wisata di Kota Semarang. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode pengumpulan data melalui kajian literatur yang diolah dengan teknik analisis SWOT. Faktor kekuatan dari wisata di Kota Semarang adalah lokasi yang strategis, originalitas, panorama yang indah, unik, adanya kerja sama dengan Pokdarwis, dan harga tiket yang murah. Faktor kelemahan adalah belum ada event festival wisata, sarana pendukung kurang memadai, kurangnya kesadaran wisatawan untuk menjaga lingkungan, dan belum adanya infrastruktur kebencanaan dalam kawasan wisata. Faktor peluang adalah konservasi lingkungan hidup, dan tersedianya tenaga kerja lokal. Faktor ancaman adalah pencemaran lingkungan hidup, kurangnya perhatian dari pemerintah dan kerjasama dengan pihak swasta. Strategi pengembangan wisata yang dapat diterapkan yaitu meningkatkan daya tarik wisata melalui penyelenggaraan event festival, meningkatkan promosi dan pengelolaan wisata, sarana pendukung, serta meningkatkan kesadaran masyarakat tentang kebersihan dan lingkungan hidup. Tenaga kerja lokal diharapkan dapat terserap melalui partisipasi masyarakat. Sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwa strategi pengembangan destinasi wisata Curug Gondoriyo dan Pantai Mangunharjo didasarkan pada pengembangan ekonomi lokal berbasis masyarakat.
