Determining of peri-urban in rice production centers area: Case study in Karawang Regency, Indonesia

Abstract

In the last decade, the Jakarta-Bandung Mega Urban (JBMUR) corridor has experienced rapid urbanization, including the Karawang Regency. In addition, Karawang has become a national center (rice barn), with an area of rice fields in 2019 reaching 95,000 ha and covering 54% of its regency. The socio-economic spatial context of this region provides a new notion of peri-urban characteristics in the rice production center area. This study aims to identify the peri-urban areas and explain the peri-urban rice production center areas. The approach is a case study using geographic information system analysis (intersect, clip, feature to point) and data tabulation. The data are land cover time series maps from the Ministry of Environment and Forestry in 2019, village government maps (population and civil records 2019), and village potential data for 2011 and 2018. The analysis results show that the number of villages in the urban area is 49 villages, peri-urban 30 villages, and rural area 223 villages. Various variables were compared, showing urban area, peri-urban and rural area. Information on the characteristics of agricultural (rice field) centers can provide input for local governments in planning policy making.

Diskrepansi Kebijakan Pertanian di Sentra Produksi Padi

“…Ditengah tekanan globalisasi dan urbanisasi di Indonesia, pertanian merupakan salah satu sektor yang merasakan dampak negatifnya. Pertumbuhan populasi memerlukan lahan hunian, infrastruktur, dan tempat bekerja yang terus bertambah (Fiqriyati, Panuju, and Mulya 2022;Mulya 2022). Salah satu penyebab masifnya alih fungsi pertanian karena lahan sawah memiliki karakteristik lahan yang sama untuk penggunaan lahan terbangun seperti permukiman, industri, perkantoran dan lahan terbangun lainnya.…”

“…Sentra produksi padi atau istilah lainnya adalah lumbung pangan (nasional) adalah sebutan bagi kabupaten/kota yang berkontribusi besar (penghasil) dalam produksi padi (pangan) nasional (Avicienna, Tjahjono, and Sutandi 2012;Marinda, R.P. Sitorus, and Pribadi 2020;Mulya 2022). Walaupun sebenarnya istilah lumbung pangan nasional ini belum memiliki kejelasan definisi dan kriteria.…”
