Abstract
The phenomenon of changing the function of agricultural land in Namlea District becomes a problem when the amount of productive land decreases and has an impact on the availability of land for agricultural production and affects the supply chain of agricultural products to the community. The research was conducted to describe the conversion of agricultural land and its utilization in the Namlea subdistrict. The research site focuses on Namlea District Buru Regency with consideration of the availability of the number of agricultural lands that are less than other districts in the Buru Regency. The number of informants interviewed as many as 40 people consisting of landowners, farmers, business owners, and village apparatus. Analytical techniques used to follow the concept of Miles and Huberman where activities in the analysis of qualitative data are conducted interactively and continuously to find saturation in the data processing. The results showed that the reduction of farmland in Namlea district was due to the conversion of land for various activities including housing and development of the Trade Center. Besides, the use of converted land is caused by the system of personal ownership that is secured by the Government through the right to building or proprietary rights but has not fully set the long-term oriented land utilization pattern.
