Abstract

This study aims to analyze the conversion of paddy fields into residential land and its impact on rice production in Koto Tangah District, Padang City. The research method used was descriptive quantitative by utilizing Landsat 8 satellite imagery from 2013 and 2024, rice production statistical data, and Geographic Information System (GIS) analysis. The research stages included image correction, land use classification, map overlay, calculation of land area changes, and estimation of rice production. The results showed that residential land area increased by 1,169.65 hectares, from 1,966.66 hectares in 2013 to 3,136.31 hectares in 2024. Meanwhile, paddy field area experienced a slight increase of 13.59 hectares, from 1,699.82 hectares to 1,713.41 hectares. The increase in paddy field area contributed to an increase in rice production of 78.82 tons. However, land use changes among villages were uneven, as several areas experienced a decline in paddy field area due to development pressure. The main factors influencing land use change were population growth, residential needs, and land economic value. Therefore, sustainable paddy field protection policies are needed to maintain regional food security

Abstract

Coral reefs are marine ecosystems that play an important role in maintaining ecological balance and providing economic benefits for coastal communities. Indonesia, as an archipelagic country, possesses extensive coral reef resources, including those in West Sumatra. This study aims to examine the condition of the coral reef ecosystem on Pisang Island, Air Manis Beach, Padang, as well as the efforts for its preservation and management. The method used was descriptive qualitative with data collection techniques through direct observation in April 2025. The observation results showed that the coral reef ecosystem in the area was relatively well preserved and located in shallow waters. Conservation efforts were carried out through coral transplantation education and the utilization of technology such as bioreeftek. Sustainable management, along with awareness among local communities and tourists, are important factors in coral reef conservation. This study emphasizes that the involvement of various stakeholders, including legal regulations, environmental education, and technological innovation, is crucial in maintaining the sustainability of coral reef ecosystems in Indonesia.
