Abstract
The increasing number of Jakarta Special Province residents further increased the amount of land required for daily usages. In order to maintain and improve the economy, agricultural land-use continued to be converted into non-agricultural land-use. The reduced amount of agricultural land-use was able to increase the population pressure on said land, surpassing the land carrying capability. Analyzing the remaining land resources of Jakarta Special Province aimed to understand the changes in land-use, land carrying capability, the scale of land resources, and to determine the population pressure of the residents of Jakarta Special Province. The methods used in this analysis was to use secondary data, presented in the form of tables, graphs, and maps, as well as quantitative and qualitative descriptive analysis. In general, Jakarta Special Province had experienced a conversion of agricultural land-use into non-agricultural land-use (e.g. residential and industrial) between the year 2010 to 2018. The number of residents had exceeded the carrying capacity of Jakarta’s land. This resulted from a growing need for non-agricultural land as well as the amount of population pressure, causing the unmet settlement needs.
Highlights
The definition of land-use is all forms of land change affected by human activities to meet their needs [1]
Land change is related to the land’s carrying capacity, which can be determined based on the value of population pressure and the scale of land resources
The results showed that the population in Jakarta Special Province had exceeded the capacity of the land accommodating human activities, in other words, based on the classification the land was no longer able to provide sufficient space for humans [13]
Summary
The definition of land-use is all forms of land change affected by human activities to meet their needs [1]. The core of land carrying capability is to compare between demand and supply. Demand means the desire or needs for someone to obtain an item or a service; supply means the number of goods and/or services available [2]. The land is a limited natural resource; whilst human needs are infinite and will continue to increase, following the population growth. Jakarta’s residents experience growth every year as indicated by the conversion of agricultural land to non-agricultural land, to fulfill the needs of industrial development, housing, tourism, and other purposes. Land change is related to the land’s carrying capacity, which can be determined based on the value of population pressure and the scale of land resources. Areas with high population pressure are incapable of supporting the needs of the residents living there
