Abstract

This research aims to determine whether income, land area, land location, and
the type of work to people’s have significant effect simultaneously and partially to the
people's decision to convert agricultural land into non-agricultural land in Gambut
Sub-District and to know its impact on the welfare of the landowners.

This research is quantitative, using primary data in the form of interviews with
80 communities that have agricultural land in the Gambut Sub-District in 2016 until
2017.

The result of logit model regression shows that all variables have a significant effect simultaneously to people's decision to convert agricultural land into non-agricultural land in the Gambut Sub-District. In contrast, only partially significant influence is income and land area, where income and land area negatively affect the conversion rate of agricultural land. Different test results show that there is a marked difference between the income of the community before and after converting agrarian
land. The average community income before converting agricultural land is more
significant than after converting agricultural land.
