use in the region. Understanding these changes is essential for strategizing and overseeing

sustainable development in the region (Rahmad, 2019). Throughout history, Bandung Regency has

been famous for its agricultural dominance, with a large expanse of land devoted to rice fields,

plantations, and horticulture. The fertile soil and supportive climate make this region an agricultural

hub, thus making a great contribution to the local and regional food supply. In the late 20th and

early 21st centuries, West Java experienced significant urbanization and economic growth, which

led to land use changes in Bandung Regency.

in recent years. The expansion of the city of Bandung, driven by population growth and economic

prospects, has extended to the district area, resulting in the transformation of agricultural land into

residential, commercial, and industrial areas (Wijaya, 2015). The expansion of urban areas is

evident through the rapid increase in the number of new residential areas, commercial complexes,

and industrial areas, especially along major transportation routes and close to city centers. The

transformation of agricultural land into urban is a major change in land use in Bandung Regency. A

large number of farmers are choosing to sell their land for development as a result of the increase in

forest areas has resulted in difficulties such as soil erosion, reduced biodiversity, and water

management problems (Gunawan et al., 2015).

degradation and led to deforestation. These changes pose a threat to the ecological balance and

require a collective effort towards reforestation and the implementation of sustainable land

management practices (Dako et al., 2019; Sitorus et al., 2012). Local governments have

implemented a series of policies and regulations to address these challenges, with the aim of

effectively managing land-use change and promoting sustainable development (Leontinus, 2022).

However, the effectiveness of these measures often depends on law enforcement, inter-agency

the region. The regulation was stipulated in accordance with the central government law No. 41 of

2009 concerning the Protection of Sustainable Food Agricultural Land. This law highlights the

importance of maintaining sustainable agricultural land throughout the region, including Bandung

Regency. Another important regulation is the Regional Regulation on the Regional Spatial Plan

(RTRW) of Kuningan Regency for 2011-2031. This regulation provides the framework of the Long-

Term Development Plan (RPJP) and the Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJM) in Kuningan

Regency.

Regional Land Use Policy in Bandung Regency. They built a land use monitoring system, ensuring

Landsat group. The analysis identified six types of land use: forests, plantations, dryland agricultural

crops (TPLK), wetland agricultural crops (TPLB), built land, and water bodies. Land use in Bandung

Regency undergoes considerable changes every year (Wibowo & Suharyadi, 2012). The land area has

increased on built-up land, while there has been a decrease in the area occupied by TPLB, TPLK,

forests, and plantations. There is no change in the use of water bodies. In 2002, the dominant land

use in Bandung Regency was TPLK which reached an area of 61,782.22 hectares. TPLK (Tropical

Leaf Kratom) was quickly disseminated throughout Bandung Regency (Nuraeni et al., 2017).

decreased by 1,119.67 ha, plantations decreased by 45.46 ha, and forests decreased by 6.56 ha. This

study analyzes the pattern of land use change by considering the initial land use and the direction of

land, the conversion of TPLB into TPLK, and the conversion of plantation land into built land. land,

and the transformation of forests into built land. The most significant pattern of land use change

occurred in the conversion of TPLB land into built land and TPLK land into built land, with the area

of change of 1,884.34 ha and 1,206.36 ha, respectively (Wijaya, 2015). The conversion of land into

built-up areas mainly occurs in Pasirjambu, Margaasih, and Cicalengka Districts following the TPLB

considerable changes. Land use patterns and environmental conditions in this region are greatly

influenced by changes caused by urbanization, industrialization, and population growth

(Susetyaningsih, 2012). The most prominent transformation in Bandung Regency is the rapid

urbanization process and the growth of residential areas. The increasing population and urban

expansion of the city of Bandung have resulted in the development of new housing projects

significantly, especially in suburban areas. The amount of residential land has increased

significantly, often resulting in a reduction in agricultural land. The expansion of urban areas has

areas. The conversion is motivated by the increasing price of land and the economic attractiveness

of the sale or use of land for non-agricultural activities. Reduced farmland presents a danger to local

food production and farmers' livelihoods, necessitating a shift to more concentrated and effective

farming methods on remaining farmland (Christian et al., 2021).

of areas and industrial areas, especially in the northern and western regions of the district, has

resulted in major changes in land use. Areas that were once agricultural or undeveloped are now

lively with the presence of factories, warehouses, and logistics centres. The expansion of the

industrial sector has resulted in economic benefits, such as job creation and increased economic

activity. However, it also raises concerns about the environment, including air and water

for urbanization or experienced illegal logging and encroachment, resulting in degradation.

Deforestation has a significant impact on biodiversity, causing disruption to ecosystems and

affecting watershed management (Rahmad, 2019). This in turn creates problems such as soil

erosion and deterioration of water quality.

policies and regulations, such as zoning laws, land use planning, and conservation initiatives.

However, the implementation of these regulations often encounters obstacles due to lack of

resources, lack of coordination between institutions, and economic conflicts of interest. Ensuring

urbanization, economic expansion, and environmental difficulties. Throughout its history, the

county has been a significant agricultural hub Widiatmaka et al. (2015). However, the region has

undergone significant changes in land use as a result of increasing population needs and the

expansion of urban areas (2021). The transformation of agricultural land into residential,

commercial, and industrial areas highlights the dynamic socio-economic environment of the region.

While these changes have boosted economic growth and improved infrastructure, they have also

raised major concerns regarding food security, environmental sustainability, and social justice. The

decline of agricultural land, triggered by increased land values and economic incentives, poses risks

to conventional farming methods and local food production. Environmental consequences, such as

forest degradation, soil degradation, and biodiversity decline, emphasize the need to implement

comprehensive approach is needed that takes into account economic, social, and environmental

factors. In the future, it is critical to implement integrated land use planning that prioritizes the

achievement of sustainable development goals. This includes the promotion of sustainable

agricultural techniques, the preservation of natural habitats, and the promotion of urban planning

that minimizes environmental impact. To achieve these goals, it is important to involve local

communities in decision-making processes and improve regulatory frameworks.
