Land Use Change Analysis in Jogonalan District Klaten Regency in 2016 and 2023

Abstract The existence of land is not only important as a place to live but also as a means of improving economic welfare. Therefore, land use is very dependent on human efforts to use it effectively. Changes in land use occurred in various regions, including in Jogonalan District, Klaten Regency. These changes include the transition of land from agricultural to residential or non-agricultural areas, as well as the development of the economic sector in these areas. This research aims to analyze the changes and the distribution pattern of land use in Jogonalan District, Klaten Regency in 2016 and 2023. The method used in this research is visual interpretation of remote sensing images and purposive sampling, namely a data collection technique that considers certain things that are in accordance with what is to be achieved in the research. Sampling takes the form of an accuracy test on all areas of land use in Jogonalan District, which is used to ensure accuracy. This study analyzed land use change data using the overlay method to determine changes in land use over a period of 7 years. The method overlayed maps of land use from 2016 and 2023, which will be analyzed descriptively. Nearest Neighbor Analysis (Nearest Neighbor Analysis) creates control points that experience land changes at the location following the results of data processing using the ANN method shows the average distance of changes in land use that occur in Jogonalan District, namely 952.42 meters from one land use change point to another land use change point. The results of this research show that a very striking change in land use occurred in Jogonalan District, namely the changes in use of rice fields into residential buildings with a total change area of 25,55 Ha or 57,85% of the total land change area in Jogonalan District. Changes in land from freshwater ponds to rice fields interspersed with other plants amounted to 0,61 Ha or 1,99% of the area of land changes that occurred, then changes in dry land into continuous rice fields were 18 Ha or 40,76%. The total area of land use change in Jogonalan District is 44,16 Ha. The results above show that the highest percentage is the use of rice fields for residential buildings. This is because the rapid population growth causes the increasing need for greater land use, which results in changes in the use of agricultural land to non-agricultural land.
