Abstract

Coastal area is a specific area where the region can be used as a tourist area, settlements, and agriculture. Some forms of utilization in the field of agriculture, among others, is farming of paddy fields or fishery ponds. As is the case along the southern coast of the Special Territory of Yogyakarta. Coastal residents of Bantul and Kulon Progo districts utilize coastal land as dryland farming and fishery ponds. This study aims to determine the effect of land use change in the Srigading Village (especially for the conversion of shrimp ponds) to the farmers' income in the Village. This research uses the tools of remote sensing technology to identify land use change that happened in the research area and combine with interview result data to know earnings difference from a farmer. The result of the analysis shows that land use in the coastal area of Srigading Village, Sanden Sub-District, Bantul Regency, before being used as shrimp pond is dominated by agricultural land and garden/moor. There are also settlements, and bodies of water contained in the study area. Land in the form of gardens/moor and agricultural land is a land that has the potential to switch function to shrimp farms as long as get enough brackish water supply. The distance is quite close to the beach and the river makes the land is very potential to switch functions into ponds. The results of the analysis also showed that farmers' income before and after shrimp farming in Srigading village experienced an average increase of almost 50%.
