Jurnal Ekonomi Pembangunan: Kajian Masalah Ekonomi dan Pembangunan, 2018
This study aims to analyze the factors that affect farmer's decision in converting the function of their agricultural lands. The factors are: farmer's age, education level, total number of family members, the area of agricultural lands, income, and location of agricultural land. This study is conducted in Depok sub-district, Sleman district, Yogyakarta, as an area with high rate agricultural land function conversion, marked by the decrease in the area of agricultural land. This study is conducted using survey method, with farmers who decide to convert the function of their agricultural land and farmers who do not as unit analysis. The data is analyzed using logistic regression. The analysis result shows that farmer's age and agricultural land location have negative effect on the decision to convertagricultural land function, education level and total numbers of family members have positive effect, and the area of agricultural lands and income have no significant effect on the decision to convert the function of agricultural lands.
Analysis of Agricultural Land Conversion in Taman Sub-District, Sidoarjo Regency
Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research), 2023
As a decisive step in the research process, an overview of the development of rice field conversion in Taman District, Sidoarjo Regency and an analysis of factors affecting agricultural land conversion on the income of rice farmers in Taman District, Sidorjo Regency is needed. Thus, this research can later be used as a reference in issuing and determining policy directions, especially in the agricultural sector to prevent the conversion of agricultural land into non-agricultural land. Based on the above background, the objectives of this study are as follows: analyze the factors that affect the conversion of agricultural land in Taman Sidoarjo District. The site selection was carried out purposively with the consideration that the location is one of the fast-growing areas in East Java with significant economic growth and infrastructure development. The data collection method is carried out using secondary data consisting of institutional surveys to obtain secondary data that has relevance to discussions in research and literature surveys. The analytical tools used are multiple regression analysis and descriptive analysis. Based on the results of regression analysis, it is indicated that the variables of population, number of industries and GRDP are positively and significantly related to agricultural land conversion in Taman Sidoarjo District, which means that the influence of increasing population, number of industries and GRDP can increase agricultural land conversion. Meanwhile, land productivity and farmer exchange rates have a significant negative relationship, which means that the effect of increasing land productivity and farmer exchange rates can reduce agricultural land conversion.

Place attachment and agricultural land conversion for sustainable agriculture in Indonesia
Heliyon, 2021
The relationship between place attachments and agricultural land conversion for developing countries had not been studied in many studies. This study aimed to provide empirical evidence of the psychological relationship between place attachment and agricultural land conversion, in contributing to sustainable agriculture in rural areas. The method used was the calculation of the place attachment index, while examining the relationship between latent and dependent variables implemented in Structural Equation Model (SEM), applied in AMOS Software. The result of the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) calculation demonstrated the relationship between place attachment and agricultural land conversion. The attitude towards land development also had a weight of 0.657, which is substantially optimistic. Also, the weight value indicated that the place attachment relationship positively impacted the desire to maintain land, as maintenance decision was higher when the place attachment was high. That was accompanied by a 31.6% value of R2, meaning that the place attachment influenced 31.6% of the variance in the decision to preserve land.

Agricultural land conversion (ALC) is an incentive–driven process. In this paper we further investigate the inter–relationship between land economic value (LEV) and ALC. To achieve this goal, we calculated LEV for agricultural and non-agricultural (housing) uses in two areas in East Java, Indonesia. The first area represents suburban agriculture, facing rapid urbanization and experiencing high rate of ALC. The second area represents rural agriculture with zero ALC. Furthermore, we identified factors affecting LEV in both areas for both uses. The resut of this study show that agricultural land yielded higher economic benefit in rural area. Conversely, comparing to agricultural land, housing creates 7 times higher value in urban area. Moreover, agricultural land shown to create higher profit after converted. Ironically, the similar comparison doesn’t exists in rural area. Agricultural land only yielded 19% more value, indicate that agricultural land can be easily converted. It is also...
Farmers' Perspective on Converting Their Paddy Fields in West Java Province
AGRIEKONOMIKA
The conversion of paddy fields continues to increase rapidly, potentially affecting rice production and threatening national food/rice security. This paper presents farmers' perspectives on various indicators of drivers, controllers and decision-making influencing land conversion. The study is based on a policy and literature approach, supported by field studies using qualitative-quantitative mixed methods in West Java Province. The results show that the driving indicators of land conversion are near main roads/highways; near settlements/trade/industry/ services; and densely populated. Indicators of restraining conversion are space utilization in line with the Spatial Plan; provision of incentives for means of production; and the imposition of land tax disincentives. The most decisive indicators of conversion decision making for farmers' choices are the control / ownership of narrow rice fields; and the production value of rice fields is low.
Agricultural land conversion for housing development and sustainable food agricultural land
Technium Social Sciences Journal, 2022
This research is to examine related to land acquisition for housing development and the importance of legal protection for sustainable food agricultural land. The main development development is the factors that increase the population, which means the number of needs becomes greater, one of which is the need for land. Because most of Indonesia's population is in the field of livelihood, the arable land is getting narrower because agriculture will be used to save money, roads, industry and others. This is intended so that the area of agricultural land for food does not continue to shrink every year. Responding to the conversion of sustainable agricultural land and to ensure the consistency of the availability of replacement land as a result of land conversion, such as the formulation of input for approval for the presence of free land provided. This is necessary to maintain as well as the availability of the converted free facilities. The problem that will be discussed in this study is how the regulation of land acquisition for development development is related to the guarantee of sustainable agricultural land. The research method used is a normative research method with a statute approach and analyzed using content analysis.

Indonesia is an agricultural country in the tropic area with a high potential of agricultural land. This condition is a good ecosystem for human, animal and plant life. With all those potentials, the population in Indonesia has reached more than 260 million people currently. Surely, such a large population brings logical consequences in which a large amount of land must be provided by the State to support the housing needs and to meet the food and clothing needs. As a matter of fact, the population of Indonesia continues to increase over the time. The increase in population in many areas has caused the conversion of agricultural land into residential land. Therefore, the agricultural land continues to have pressure constantly. The Population pressure to agricultural land is a comparison between the number of people and the minimum land area to be able to live properly. This study aims to analyse the variations of population pressure on agricultural land in each village in Mojolaban...
