Land Use Change in Dramaga Village, Dramaga District, Bogor Regency, West Java

Economic growth in Indonesia requires the development of infrastructure, such as roads, service buildings, and others. This causes the demand for land to increase, one of which is in Dramaga Village. As a result, there is less agricultural land in Dramaga Village because a lot of agricultural land has been converted. The purpose of this study was to analyze the driving factors for land use change and their impact on the community in Dramaga Village. The study used a qualitative approach, namely direct observation and in-depth interviews supported by secondary data in the form of literature studies, field notes, and supporting documents. The results showed that the driving factors for land use change in Dramaga Village were due to the lack of income from working on the land, no one wanted to work on the land, and the desire to get lots of money instantly, so not a few lands in Dramaga Village were sold and converted become settlements, restaurants, cafes, and other buildings. The development in Dramaga Village is indeed economically beneficial for the surrounding community. However, this raises concerns for farmers that they will lose their livelihoods and cause food problems in Indonesia.
