Land use change trend of paddy field and its influence on food security in Gerbangkertosusila Region

Abstract

Economic growth encourages development growth in the Gerbangkertosusila (or can be shortened as GKS) region, which is a challenge for the agricultural sector. The phenomenon of changing the function of paddy fields to developed land because of the high demand for land can threaten the food security of a region. This research will model the trend of land use change and its impact on food security in GKS region in the next 20 years using cellular automata methods and quantitative statistics. Data collection was carried out by literature studies, field observations and interviews through questionnaires to relevant stakeholders. The results of the spatial modeling analysis of the paddy field conversion trend show that there are three regions that have the highest conversion rate of paddy fields in the GKS region, namely Sidoarjo, Gresik and Surabaya City. After further analysis related to food demand projections and rice production projections is carried out, Surabaya and Sidoarjo Regency is currently experiencing a food deficit which could last even in the years ahead. Having this result, the role of several other regencies such as Lamongan and Mojokerto Regency is needed in maintaining food security in the GKS region.

The Impact of the Trans-Java Toll Road Development on Spatial Planning in the Northern Region of Java Island: A Study Utilizing NDBI and Google Earth Images

“…The study conducted by Firmansyah et al (2021) highlights the significant transformation that has taken place in Gresik Regency, particularly the conversion of paddy fields into settlements and industrial areas. According to their findings, approximately 126.07 hectares of paddy fields have been converted into settlements, indicating a shift in land use and a departure from the previous spatial planning.…”

“…This suggests that additional measures may be required to address the competing demands of urbanization, industrialization, and food security in Gresik Regency. The findings of Firmansyah et al (2021) underscore the importance of effective spatial planning and the need for comprehensive strategies to ensure sustainable development and address the challenges arising from land use changes in the region.…”

Recognition of Agricultural Land-Use Change with Machine Learning-Based for Regional Food Security Assessment in Kulon Progo Plains Area

“…Thus, caused by it is relatively more expansive than the other sector's land [8]. The high conversion rate of agricultural land to non-agricultural land can result in food supply and affect food security, especially rice [9]. Food security can be achieved if there is a surplus of rice supplies compared to the rice needs in a region, which indicates the fulfillment of food needs for everyone in the area [10].…”

Study on the quality improvement on black land in Northeast China under the environment of sustainable agricultural development

“…According to Su et al (2019), black land conservation is a process that combines natural, economic and social elements, and it plays an important role in achieving green development, which aims for economic development, environmental beauty and social inclusion. Black land protection is distinguished by hierarchical composition, diverse content, operational policies and spatial and temporal differentiation in order to resolve the conflict between rising food demand and resource and environmental constraints (Xiao et al, 2019;Firmansyah et al, 2021). Zhou et al (2021) and Zhao et al (2021) examined the dialectical relationship between resource utilization and ecological protection, emphasizing the importance of establishing a collaborative black land protection mechanism in four The theory of sustainable development has been deeply implemented in various industries such as medical care, tourism and environment, but agricultural sustainable development is still in its early stages (Ghasemi et al, 2021;Goodarzian et al, 2021;Venkata and Balasubramainam, 2015).…”
