Farmland Conversion and the Sustainable City: The Case of Yogyakarta, Indonesia
Abstract The objectives of this study are: (1) to determine the change in farmland use in the fringe areas of Yogyakarta; (2) to analyze the process of farmland conversion and assess its conversion rate; (3) to identify the factors that affect this farmland conversion; and (4) to ascertain the implications related to sustainable city development in Yogyakarta. The study showed that farmland has been intensively converted to other functions. The most noticeable change in farmland to nonresidential use occurred in the city itself, whereas in the fringe areas agricultural land has mostly been converted to residential use. The results of regression analysis indicate that the population density, regional GDP, and number of houses built show a positive relationship with land conversion. However, only housing development has a significant effect on land conversion. Thus, it is not surprising that housing development has become the key factor in the massive farmland conversion that has taken place in Yogyakarta. This study suggests the following: (a) stringent regulations and penalties for improper behavior by developers and district officials should be imposed; (b) farmland owners need to be given incentives to continue farming their land; and (c) it is necessary to establish a “fixed sufficient farmland” in every subdistrict to secure food sufficiency.
