SOIL/LAND USE CHANGES AND URBAN SPRAWL IDENTIFICATION IN PANDAAN DISTRICT, INDONESIA

Abstract

The phenomenon of urban sprawl is a serious problem worldwide for the environmental and
socio-economic reasons. Land used change from agricultural land to others activities like settlements,
industrial used, and infrastructure development is common in urban rural relation. Pandaan District that
located near Surabaya City and in the main road to Malang city have the indication of urban sprawl. Urban
Sprawl is a phenomenon that occurs from fast city development but has limited land, thus pushing the
population to the suburban areas and even outside the area of the main city. This research aims to determine
the pattern of land use change and identify urban sprawl based on patterns of land use changes from 2010 to
2018. We use GIS methods that could process spatial analysis using multi-temporal satellite imagery (time
series data) of the study area. The results of the analysis with GIS conclude that the land use change in
Pandaan District from 2010 to 2018 the highest change in non-built-up land use is wetland/paddy fields. The
change is from 2789.21 hectare in 2010 to 2575.52 hectare in 2018 or decreases 213.69 hectare. Related to
the identification of urban sprawl, there are eight villages identified as having experienced sprawl, that is
Plintah village, Durensewu village, Karangjatim village, Wedoro village, Tawangrejo village, Nogosari
village, Kemirisewu village, and Banjarsari Village.
