Changing Lands: The Impact of Urbanization Processes on Agricultural Land Losses in Seminyak and Legian, Bali, Indonesia
(2024) In Student thesis series INES NGEK01 20241Dept of Physical Geography and Ecosystem Science
- Abstract
- Attracting tourists from all over the world throughout the year, the flourishing of mass tourism in Bali has been perpetual for the last few decades. As both domestic and international tourists increase over time, the demand for built-up areas increases accordingly, which has caused urban expansion exploiting vegetated areas, especially agricultural lands. Consequently, this tourism-led urbanization in Bali has led to intensification of land cover change.
Land cover change is a common environmental issue in a developing country, which is often overlooked due to very few studies performed in the area. One primary example of land cover change is the enlargement of settlements at the expense of natural and cultivated lands and these land...

As both domestic and international tourists increase over time, the demand for built-up areas increases accordingly, which has caused urban expansion exploiting vegetated areas, especially agricultural lands. Consequently, this tourism-led urbanization in Bali has led to intensification of land cover change.
Land cover change is a common environmental issue in a developing country, which is often overlooked due to very few studies performed in the area. One primary example of land cover change is the enlargement of settlements at the expense of natural and cultivated lands and these land conversions could lead to environmental ramifications such as exploitation of biodiversity and localized weather pattern changes within the area.
This paper uses aerial photographs from Google Earth to digitize the land cover maps from 2009 to 2023 with remote sensing techniques, then quantify the area differences and trends from land cover change detection to analyze the loss of agricultural areas due to urbanization processes within the study area. The outcomes of this paper show that there has been exacerbated agricultural land loss as tourism proliferates over the years, which ultimately concerns the regional food production and food security within the local communities.
