Abstract

Land cover changes in the Pangandaran Coastal area are significantly influenced by tourism attractions as well as geographic and socio-economic dynamics. As one of the main coastal tourism destinations in West Java, Pangandaran receives more than 3.5 million tourists annually, which puts significant pressure on the coastal environment. This study uses land cover data from 2017–2023 analyzed using a regression and GIS approach, this study identifies spatial and temporal patterns of urban expansion and their implications for environmental sustainability. The results show that urbanization in Pangandaran is concentrated in the coastal lowlands, especially in Pangandaran and Sidamulih Districts, increasing vulnerability to natural disasters such as tsunamis. This expansion is triggered by the need for tourism infrastructure that often sacrifices natural ecosystems such as mangroves and coastal forests. In Cimerak and Parigi Districts, changes are more influenced by industrial and agro-industrial development, while growth in Cijulang is hampered by karst topography which is less supportive of urban development. Meanwhile, Kalipucang remains relatively natural due to geographic limitations that limit urban expansion. This study emphasizes the importance of sustainable coastal management, including adaptive spatial planning, conservation of critical ecosystems, and community-based initiatives to mitigate risks posed by unplanned urban expansion. The results of this study provide important insights for policymakers to balance tourism-based development with environmental resilience in the coastal area of Pangandaran.

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between urban expansion and land cover changes in the Special Region of Yogyakarta (DIY), with a focus on the impacts of transportation infrastructure and tourist attractions. Over recent decades, rapid urbanization driven by economic growth, improved transportation networks, and expanding tourism has significantly transformed land use patterns across the province. The development of the Yogyakarta International Airport (YIA) and the improvement of road networks have been key drivers of urban sprawl, particularly in Sleman and Bantul. These areas have experienced the conversion of agricultural land into residential and commercial zones. The expansion of tourist destinations, such as Gunung Merapi and Prambanan, has further accelerated land use changes, intensifying urban growth and putting pressure on local ecosystems. This study utilizes satellite imagery and spatial regression models to examine land cover changes and their drivers, revealing that infrastructure development and the tourism sector play pivotal roles in shaping the region's landscape. The findings underscore the need for sustainable spatial planning policies to mitigate the environmental impacts of urban sprawl and ensure the long-term resilience of DIY's natural resources and cultural heritage.
