Evaluasi konversi lahan sawah dengan menggunakan sistem informasi geografi di Kabupaten Bekasi, Jawa Barat

Abstract

Penelitian dilakukan di Kecamatan Cibitung dan Tambun, Kabupaten Bekasi, Jawa Barat. Alasan dipilihnya lokasi, karena telah banyak terjadi konversi lahan sawah di kedua lokasi tersebut. Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk : (a) mengetahui perubahan Rataan Spasial (SM) dan Sebaran Spasial (SD) lahan sawah yang terkonversi; (b) mengetahui variabilitas konversi lahan sawah; (c) mengevaluasi konversi lahan sawah berdasarkan kesesuaian lahan dan produktivitas padi, serta aksesibilitas menggunakan SIG; dan (d) menentukan lokasi yang dapat dikonversi dan yang tetap dipertahankan sebagai lahan sawah.

The research has investigated at Cibitung and Tambun district, Bekasi Regency. The locations were selected, because in both area have been occured conversion in paddy field. As a result of spatial analysis indicate that position of paddy field concentration (SM) have moved from 1996 until 2000 year to North East direction as far as 691 m in Cibitung and 481 m in Tambun district. That SM movement refrains from centre of local or regional social economic activity. Land conversion of paddy become as settlement has been occured in Tambun about 105.2 Ha and 154.6 Ha in Cibitung.
