Abstract

Population growth is a crucial factor influencing the development of settlements, particularly in rural areas. This study analyzes the impact of population growth on settlement development in Itawaka Village, East Saparua District, from 2014 to 2023. The research employs a quantitative approach using simple linear regression analysis to measure the extent to which population changes affect settlement expansion and infrastructure development. The results indicate that the highest population was recorded in 2018 at 2,099 inhabitants, followed by a significant decline, reaching 1,882 in 2023. The analysis reveals a strong correlation between population growth and settlement expansion, with an R-square value of 0.699, meaning that 69.9% of settlement development variations can be explained by demographic changes. The findings highlight the need for sustainable settlement planning to address population fluctuations and ensure balanced infrastructure development. This study contributes to understanding the relationship between demographic trends and spatial planning in coastal rural areas, providing insights for policymakers in formulating sustainable settlement strategies.

Abstract

Land use changes in coastal areas are increasingly complex due to population growth, economic activities, and tourism development. This condition is evident in Liang Beach, Salahutu District, Central Maluku Regency, where land conversion pressures occur between natural ecosystems and development needs. This study aims to identify and analyze land use change dynamics during 2021–2024. The research employed a quantitative-descriptive approach using Google Earth Pro satellite imagery combined with field observations at ten coordinate points. The findings reveal a decline in natural vegetation from 45% to 30%, an increase in economic-use land from 15% to 25%, and the expansion of tourism areas from 10% to 20%. Water bodies and open land decreased by 2–3%. These results highlight a spatial shift from ecological to economic functions, implying higher abrasion risks, biodiversity loss, and potential stakeholder conflicts. The study concludes that integrated coastal management is crucial, requiring policy alignment, mapping technology, and community involvement to sustain ecological and socio-economic balance. It recommends adopting environmentally adaptive spatial planning and sustainable tourism strategies for Liang Beach
