Abstract
One of the main issues for cities in the world today is peri-urbanization. The rate of urbanization that occurred as an impact of industrialization resulted in a rapid population increase of urban areas. The increase of urban population causes the need of space for housing and other urban facilities also increase simultaneously, while administratively, urban area is relatively constant. The consequences is, the annexation of productive agricultural lands (especially rice fields) in the suburbs by urban functions. This study attempts to examine periurbanization and its relationship with sustainable agricultural land protection programs. This study aims to (1) assess the level of peri-urbanization in DIY; and (2) Elaborate the relationship between peri-urbanization and sustainable agricultural land protection programs. The spatial approach is used in this study considering that space is an integral part of a city which is a container for various urban activities and functions. This research is also in line with the ideas of a “sustainable city” that has been proclaimed by the United Nations (UN) and all countries in the world. The results of the study show that the implementation of regional regulations on sustainable agricultural land is quite effective in holding back the pace of peri-urbanization.
Highlights
One of the main issues for cities in the world today is the expansion of cities towards the outskirts [1], [2]
Urban physical development that goes beyond city administrative boundaries has an impact on the conversion of productive agricultural land into built-up land, decreased agricultural production, energy waste, increased pollution, and social problems in suburban areas [3]
There has been a decrease in agricultural production because the area of agricultural land has decreased and the quality of human resources in the agricultural sector has tended to decline [4], [5]
Summary
One of the main issues for cities in the world today is the expansion of cities towards the outskirts [1], [2]. There has been a decrease in agricultural production because the area of agricultural land has decreased and the quality of human resources in the agricultural sector has tended to decline [4], [5] This phenomenon is even more prevalent in developing countries that still rely on the agricultural sector in the national economy. The high population growth in cities of developing countries has resulted in higher competition for land tenure in cities. The consequence of this phenomenon is the occurrence of peri-urbanization, on the grounds that land is still readily available and cheap to obtain [6]. The consequences of peri-urbanization include an increase in the level of energy use due to the increasing use of private modes of transportation
