KNN (K-Nearby Neighbor) for identifying agricultural land

Abstract

Agricultural land in Malang Regency is a vital element because most of the population are farmers and working in the agricultural sector. The agricultural land area of Malang Regency is around 15.74% (49,593 hectares) which is paddy fields and 31.31% (98,641 hectares) are fields. Not all types of crops can flourish on each of these farms because every land and plant has different characteristics. Therefore, to help determine the type of food crops that are suitable for a land, a method system for identifying land for food crop cultivation using the KNN (K-Nearest Neighbor) method was developed. With the existence of a land identification decision system for food crop cultivation, this method approach makes it easier to determine which plants are in accordance with the conditions of the land, in order to increase agricultural productivity in the southern part of Malang Regency.
