【 摘 要 】

The Imogiri Subdistrict area has plain, hills and mountain topography which have varied land conditions. The varied land conditions are mostly used for agricultural land. In increasing agricultural production, the farming community in Imogiri Sub-district made efforts to conserve their land. This condition creates a phenomenon that exists in the farming community, namely conservative behavior towards the agricultural land they have in order to increase their agricultural production. The purpose of this study was to determine: (1) the characteristics of agricultural land in each landscape of Imogiri Subdistrict, and (2) the conservative behavior of farming communities in each landscape in the use and management of agricultural land addressing the existing land conditions. The design of this research is quantitative descriptive research. The population of this study was all farmers in Imogiri Subdistrict. The study sample was determined by quota, which is 50 farmers for each landscape, so the total sample was 150 people. The sampling technique is done with randomly. The research data was collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The data collected then tabulated and analyzed descriptively. The results showed that: (1) characteristics of agricultural land: (a) plains dominated by irrigated fields, paddy-paddy-paddy cropping patterns, availability of sufficient water, sources of water from rivers, dominant types of agricultural crops in the form of paddy, (b) hilly dominated by rainfed/dry land, paddy-paddy-palawija cropping patterns, availability of sufficient water, sources of water from rivers and rain, dominant types of agricultural crops in the form of paddy and palawija, (c) mountainous dominated by rainfed paddy fields/dry land, patterns planting paddy-palawija-tobacco, the availability of insufficient/less water, sources of water from rain, dominant types of agricultural crops in the form of paddy, palawija, and tobacco, (2) the conservative behavior of farmers in each landscape varies in intensity; efforts are made to intensify planting and increase production, maintain fertility of paddy fields and care for plants, prevent possible damage to paddy fields due to flooding and drought, and apply mechanical/vegetative conservation methods.
