Abstract

This study aims to examine the factors that influence farmers to sell their farmland, and what impacts are caused by the land sale. This study was conducted in Pemulutan Subdistrict, Ogan Ilir Regency, South Sumatra. Data obtained from on-site survey were processed through binary logistic regression using SPSS. The impact was presented descriptively based on the interview’s results with respondents. The following results were obtained: Factors that significantly influence farmers' decision to sell their land are duration of formal education, distance between land from their residence, presence or absence of pressure, and farming income. The revenue from land sale is mostly used to meet economic needs. The resulting impacts are both positive and negative economic impacts. The social impacts are the livelihood shift from farming sector to non-farming sector and the loss of farmland that will be passed down to children and grandchildren as local people. The ecosystem impact is the emergence of nuisance pests due to homogeneous plant species. Keywords: Farmland sale; Farmers’ decision; Impact; Logistic regression
