Abstract

Food insecurity refers to the consequence of inadequate consumption of nutritious food at region, society or household, considering the physiological use of food by the body as being within the domain of nutrition and health. Sutawi (2008) explained that availability and achievability on aggregate scale, Indonesia citizen is appertained food secure. However, household with food insecure still found in almost whole provinces with high proportion. So, it is necessary to do a research to determine factors that influence food insecurity in a province by calculating spatial effect of inter-regency or municipality. In this research, food insecurity that will be analyzed is food insecurity in Central Java using spatial panel data analysis. Cross-section unit in this research is 35 regencies or municipalities in Central Java province which was observed for 4 years (2007-2010) as time series unit.The analysis result in this research show that fixed effect model with SAR are better used for modelling food insecuity in Central Java. This model show that production of paddy (X2) and local government original receipt of regency or municipality (X3) influence percentage of citizen with food insecure that consume calorie under basic requirement 2100 kkal/capita/day (Y) with R2 95.88%. Coefficient of λ indicates that spatial autoregressive effect significant in influencing percentage of citizen with food insecure in Central Java.
