Analysis of population density and land use in Karangmalang Subdistrict, Sragen Regency in 2013 and 2022

Abstract

Increased population growth is one of the driving factors for land use change because it is to meet the needs of the population, especially in settlements or residences. Land use changes occur as a result of improving the quality of human life which has an impact on land use changes that are difficult to control. This study aims to analyze the distribution of land use in 2013 and 2022, and analyze the relationship between population density and land use change. The research method used is the Overlay Method and Liner Regression. The results of this study show that land use change in Karangmalang Subdistrict in 2013 and 2022 amounted to 197.7 hectares, dominated by residential land of 154.4 hectares. There was an increase in population in 2013 and 2022 of 2,280 people/square kilometer. The results of the linear regression calculation show an R2 value of 0.697 which means that there is a positive relationship between land use change and an increase in population density.
