Abstract
Land is an abiotic component that plays a role in providing space for human activity. Land utilization and land use will always be related to population development. If the population continues to grow, the need for land will continue to increase which means the population pressure on the land will also increase, while the land has limited properties. Nusa Tenggara Timur province is a province that has a population of about 4.3 million people with a total area of approximately 4.9 million hectares of which 1.7 million hectares are forests. This research is conducted with the aim of knowing and analyzing land-based resource balance of land resources in the province of East Nusa Tenggara so that it can be concluded about the supporting power of land in East Nusa Tenggara province. The balance of land resources in 2007-2012 and 2013-2017 showed that there was a reduction in an agricultural land area of 11,162 Ha, while non-agricultural land increased by 9,962 Ha. Agricultural land is reduced in the form of plantation land, while the increase in the field of rice fields, moor, and fields. The support of East Nusa Tenggara province has decreased by 0.01 annually due to increasing population. Urban areas such as Kupang City have a lower value for land capacity (DDL) than rural areas.
