Policy Impacts

Competing risks survival analysis is used to investigate tax and zoning policy impacts on residential, commercial, and industrial development timing in a rapidly growing Midwestern county. Industrial development appears both to precede and occur concurrently with residential development, while commercial development follows other types. Although residences appear to locate away from industrial land, zoning decisions favoring industry may attract rather than deter residential development within a jurisdiction. Regions with higher infrastructure taxes experience development later. Because school taxes fund local public goods important to homeowners, they have little influence on residential timing, but strong influences on industrial and commercial timing.

Abstract: The industry has a great influence on the economy of Semarang Regency by becoming the largest contributor to Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP). The rapid industrial development from 2011-2017 has an impact on the decrease of agricultural land area, besides that industrial development has implication on land use mismatch of Spatial Plan. This study describes the results of descriptive qualitative analysis with spatial approach from the impact of industrial development on land use change and land use suitability for industry in 2017 against Spatial Plan. The analysis shows that, first, the impact of industrial development on land use change in Semarang regency in 2011-2017 resulted in the amount of agricultural land decreased by 253,32 Ha. The biggest land use change occurred on industrial land use that is 146,10 Ha (28,84%). Second, the use of land for industry in 2017 of 288,05 Ha has been in accordance with the spatial plan is in accordance with the industrial designation area, while the land with an area of 202,02 Ha is used for industries that are not in accordance with the industrial designation area. Keywords: Land Use Change, The Industry, The Suitability of The Spatial Plans Intisari: Industri telah memberikan pengaruh terhadap perekonomian Kabupaten Semarang dengan menjadi penyumbang terbesar pada Produk Domestik Regional Bruto (PDRB). Pesatnya perkembangan industri dari tahun 2011-2017 berdampak pada penurunan luas tanah pertanian, disamping itu perkembangan industri tersebut berimplikasi pada ketidaksesuaian penggunaan tanah tehadap Rencana Tata Ruang Wilayah (RTRW). Kajian ini menjelaskan mengenai hasil analisis secara deskriptif kualitatif dengan pendekatan keruangan dari dampak pembangunan industri terhadap perubahan penggunaan tanah serta kesesuaian penggunaan tanah untuk industri tahun 2017 terhadap RTRW. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa pertama, dampak pembangunan industri terhadap perubahan penggunaan tanah di Kabupaten Semarang tahun 2011-2017 mengakibatkan jumlah luas tanah pertanian mengalami penurunan sebesar 253,32 Ha. Perubahan penggunaan tanah terbesar terjadi pada penggunaan tanah untuk industri yaitu seluas 146,10 Ha (28,84%). Kedua, penggunaan tanah untuk industri tahun 2017 seluas 288,05 Ha telah sesuai dengan RTRW yaitu sesuai dengan kawasan peruntukan industri, sedangkan tanah dengan luas 202,02 Ha digunakan untuk industri yang tidak sesuai dengan kawasan peruntukan industri. Kata Kunci: perubahan penggunaan tanah, industri, kesesuaian RTRW

The Tehuacán-Cuicatlán Valley, Mexico, is the semiarid region with the richest biodiversity of North America and was recently recognized as a UNESCO's World Heritage site. Original agricultural practices remain to this day in agroforestry systems (AFS), which are expressions of high biocultural diversity. However, local people and researchers perceive a progressive decline both in natural ecosystems and AFS. To assess changes in location and extent of agricultural land use, we carried out a visual interpretation of very-high resolution imagery and field work, through which we identified AFS and conventional agricultural systems (CAS) from 1995 to 2003 and 2012. We analyzed five communities, representative of three main ecological and agricultural zones of the region. We assessed agricultural land use changes in relation to conspicuous landscape features (relief, rivers, roads, and human settlements). We found that natural ecosystems cover more than 85% of the territory in each community, and AFS represent 51% of all agricultural land. Establishment and permanence of agricultural lands were strongly influenced by gentle slopes and the existence of roads. Contrary to what we expected, we recorded agricultural areas being abandoned, thus favoring the regeneration of natural ecosystems, as well as a 9% increase of AFS over CAS. Agriculture is concentrated near human settlements. Most of the studied territories are meant to preserve natural ecosystems, and traditional AFS practices are being recovered for biocultural conservation.

Farmer Decision Making

Agricultural land-use change is a dynamic process that varies as a function of social, economic and environmental factors spanning from the local to the global scale. The cumulative regional impacts of these factors on land use adoption decisions by farmers are neither well accounted for nor reflected in agricultural land use planning. We present an innovative spatially explicit agent-based modelling approach (Crop GIS-ABM) that accounts for factors involved in farmer decision making on new irrigation adoption to enable land-use predictions and exploration. The model was designed using a participatory approach, capturing stakeholder insights in a conceptual model of farmer decisions. We demonstrate a case study of the factors influencing the uptake of new irrigation infrastructure and land use in Tasmania, Australia. The model demonstrates how irrigated land-use expansion promotes the diffusion of alternative crops in the region, as well as how coupled social, biophysical and environmental conditions play an important role in crop selection. Our study shows that agricultural land use reflected the evolution of multiple simultaneous interacting biophysical and socio-economic drivers, including soil and climate type, crop and commodity prices, and the accumulated effects of interactive decisions of farmers.
