Abstract

Agriculture, as the primary source of food, is increasingly threatened by land-use conversion driven by urbanization, industrial expansion, and economic transformation—particularly in agrarian countries such as Indonesia and Vietnam. This research aims to analyze the patterns and driving factors behind agricultural land conversion in both countries, assess its impact on sustainable food security, and formulate appropriate policy solutions. Employing a normative legal approach combined with policy analysis, this study draws on primary and secondary data, including legal frameworks, academic literature, and national policies. The findings reveal three key insights. First, land-use change is predominantly driven by institutional weaknesses, legal ambiguities, and a pragmatic legal culture that fails to adequately safeguard agricultural land. Second, both countries exhibit similar trends in the conversion of productive farmland to non-agricultural uses, leading to reduced food land availability, ecological degradation, and socio-economic disruptions for farming communities. Third, a policy reconstruction is urgently needed—one that involves harmonized and enforceable regulations, institutional strengthening, and participatory economic mechanisms to ensure land protection. In conclusion, the study emphasizes the critical need for integrated and sustainable policy frameworks to maintain food security, promote environmental sustainability, and uphold social justice in the Southeast Asian region.

Abstract

Spatial planning is crucial in regulating land use and utilization for sustainable development. However, in practice, there are still discrepancies between spatial planning and development implementation in various regions, which result in regional development imbalances, environmental degradation, and resource constraints. This research analyzes the factors causing the mismatch between spatial planning and actual development, particularly in the context of the removal of agricultural land use in the spatial planning of Surakarta City, and examines the impact of these issues. The method used in this research is normative legal research with a conceptual approach and analysis of the applicable laws and regulations. The research results indicate that inconsistencies in satial planning occur due to overlapping policies, inconsistent planning revisions, and weak supervision in implementing regulations. The conversion of agricultural land into non-agricultural areas threatens food security and negatively impacts ecosystem balance and environmental carrying capacity. Therefore, synergy between the government, society, and the private sector is needed in formulating and implementing spatial planning based on sustainability principles. Strengthening regulations, providing incentives for the preservation of agricultural land, and utilizing digital mapping technology can address this issue to achieve development that is in harmony with environmental carrying capacity.
