<![CDATA[The governor plays a strategic role in provincial governance, particularly in formulating development policies, managing spatial planning, and maintaining political stability. This study aims to evaluate the alignment of Governor Regulation No. 11 of 2025 concerning land-use conversion with the environmental and socio-economic conditions of West Java. Using a literature review approach, the study highlights a significant increase in critical land from 160,382 hectares in 2006 to 829,556 hectares in 2022 indicating degradation in land productivity and hydrological function. The Land Cover Quality Index (IKTL) from 2015 to 2022 reflects a continuous decline in land cover quality. Unsustainable human land-use activities have heightened disaster risks. In 2024, flood-prone areas reached 767,354 hectares, potentially affecting 14.5 million people, with physical and economic losses estimated at IDR 59.31 trillion and IDR 40.89 trillion, respectively. Landslides threaten 1.6 million hectares and 5 million people, while drought affects over 3.5 million hectares and 47 million residents, with significant economic impacts. The governor’s policy framework includes control, rehabilitation, and land-use reversals support sustainable development by integrating environmental, social, and economic considerations]]>
