Sustainable agricultural land use determination modelling in Banyuwangi

Abstract

Population growth in Banyuwangi Regency resulted in increasing food and land needs. This is very influential in the protection of agricultural land through Sustainable Food Agricultural-Land (LP2B) program. Spatial modeling for potential of sustainable agriculture land in Banyuwangi Regency based on land-use change is achieved through 4 stages: (1) identifying trend of land-use change, (2) identifying factors that affected agricultural land conversion, (3) modelling potential land for sustainable food agriculture, and (4) establishing sustainable food agriculture. The result of the analysis shows that the land-use change in Banyuwangi regency has developed into settlements area, industrial warehousing and trade service which is quite fast for the periods 2010-2016. Accessibility factors covering the road network, location factors of agricultural field covering the proximity to water source / water supply and the dynamics factors of urban growth covering the developing settlement area, has a very big influence in the occurrence of agricultural land conversion in Banyuwangi Regency.
