| Summary: | Urban development in Indonesia is characterised by urbanization, increased
economic activity, and land-use conversion, driving the transformation of ruralurban spaces. Indramayu Regency faces significant challenges due to the
development of the Rebana Region, which has spurred the conversion of
agricultural land. This study aims to analyze the dynamics of urban development
in Indramayu Regency and its impact on land-use change and food security. The
analysis focuses on physical, economic, and demographic aspects, using data on
built-up areas, land cover, population, Gross Domestic Product (GDP), rice
production, and regional development policies. The Cellular Automata model was
employed to predict future land-cover changes.
The results reveal an increase in built-up areas by 3,090.88 hectares (an average
annual growth of 4.10%) and a reduction in non-built-up land by 3,019.47 hectares
(an average annual decline of 0.4%). Economic growth reached 8.33%, driven
primarily by the manufacturing and agricultural sectors, which are the largest
contributor to GDP. Population growth averaged 1.25% annually, with urban
population growth at 0.66%, indicating a low level of urbanization. Land-cover
projections under a business-as-usual scenario predict that built-up land will
expand to 27,627.26 hectares (13.34%) by 2044, while agricultural land will
decrease to 138,478.38 hectares (66.86%). Under the Industrial Estate (KPI)
development scenario, built-up areas will rise to 46,227.26 hectares (22.32%) by
2044, resulting in a further reduction of agricultural land to 127,198.09 hectares
(61.42%). Rice production in Indramayu Regency currently averages 998,681.58
tons, with all districts demonstrating high levels of food security. However, longterm projections indicate a significant decline in agricultural productivity due to
the conversion of agricultural land. Strategic measures are urgently needed to
control land-use conversion, including accelerating the formulation of Detailed
Spatial Plans (RDTR) as a framework for monitoring and controlling land use,
revising regulations on agricultural land protection, providing incentives for
farmers, and strengthening institutional capacity for spatial management. |
