Abstract. Wetland is one of the production factors which non-replaceable for rice cropping. Wetland conversion problems become an important policy issue since the late 80s. Wetland conversion not only have a negative impact on rice production which is the staple food of Indonesia's population (98%), but also to the socio-economic and environment. This study discusses the conversion of rainfed lowland in Ogan Komering Ilir Regency. Determining the location of study undertaken purposively; the regency has the widest rainfed lowland in South Sumatra Province, an area of 44.47%. This study applied binary logistic regression model to determine the factors that influence farmers' decisions in converting rainfed land. The findings indicate that grain prices at the farmer?s level, number of family members, and dummy of soil fertility are significant variables influencing farmers? decision in converting rainfed lowland. Government needs to provide incentives for farmers in order not to convert rainfed lowland. Development of irrigation facilities is also considered important to increase cropping intensity of rainfed rice.
