Mulyoagung Village, one of the villages in Malang, experiencing significant agricultural land conversion. This research aims to identify the classification of area based on the land conversion. Discussion also made on the beliefs and the demographics that played a role in influencing decisions regarding land conversion. The result revealed that Mulyoagung Village is a secondary rural peri-urban classification located between Malang City and Batu City, experienced a conversion of 24.01% of non-built-up land to built-up land within a period of 20 years (2002-2022).
