Built Area Change in Rural-Urban Fringe of Semarang

Abstract

Development of urban areas has penetrated the rural urban fringe of Semarang. The growth of new housing in rural urban fringe is inseparable from the increasing number of people accompanied by an increase demand for residential land. The development of residential areas or new housing in rural urban fringe could lead to various impacts on the environment. This study aims to examine changes in land use (built area) in the rural urban fringe of Semarang, namely in Gunungpati District. The methods used was digital image interpretation with multispectral classification method and pattern comparison analysis to get a frame of land use in 2005, 2010 and 2015. Interpretation results were tested for validity through field observation. The results showed that the dominant land use change occurred for settlement. The change from 2005 to 2010 was 122.33 ha. While from 2010 to 2017, there has been an increase in the area of settlements by 297.54 ha. The non-settlement-built area expansion was from 10.65 ha in 2005 to 51.87 ha in 2017. Environmental impacts that occur include the reduction of water absorption area and rising of surface temperatures in the area which may further affect the pattern or lifestyle of the community Keywords-built area; environmental impact; rural urban fringe; Semarang; settlement I.

Land Use Change Analysis to Springs Conditions in Gunungpati Sub-District, Semarang City

“…The existence of the Unnes campus located in Sekaran Village makes the area have infrastructure, including public facilities and trade and service buildings. During 2005 -2010 there was an increase in residential land in the sub-district area of 122.33 hectares and an increase again from 2010 -2017 to 297.54 hectares (Nugraha & Sidiq, 2019). The increase in built-up land in the form of settlements and trade buildings will certainly convert other land use, such as plantations, rice fields, moorings and several other uses, which can result in a further decrease in the balance of the lifesustaining environment (Subiyanto & Fadilla, 2018;Nugraha & Sidiq, 2019;Juhadi, ae al, 2021).…”

Analysis slope stability based on physical properties in Cepoko Village, Indonesia

“…Semarang is one of the industrial cities that continues to experience developments that eventually force peri-urban areas such as Gunungpati District to be converted into residential areas. The development of settlements in Gunungpati has encouraged Cepoko to develop into a subservice center such as trade and service facilities, educational facilities, health facilities, religious facilities, and public service facilities (Nugraha & Sidiq, 2019). Furthermore, Cepoko is located in an area with a slope of 2-40%.…”
