Abstract

ABSTRACT

Paddy fields in Tomohon Barat District are local rice food suppliers, also one of the places
for the community to make a living. The purpose of this study was to determine the area of paddy
fields from 2014-2018 by using the ArcGIS and Google Earth applications and find out whether
the area of paddy fields affected the area of paddy rice harvesting in Tomohon Barat District.
This research was conducted in May to June 2020, located in West Tomohon District. The
method used is the digitization method on screen. Secondary data was taken via the internet in
BPS City Tomohon in Figures 2015-2019 and BPS District Tomohon Barat in Figures 2015-
2017 as well as from the Agricultural Education and Forestry Extension Office of Tomohon Barat
District. The research was not conducted by field survey because it was in a Covid-19 pandemic
situation. The results showed that, the area of paddy fields in Tomohon Barat District from 2014-
2018 had an area of 285-278 hectares or around 8% of the total area. The decrease in the area of
paddy fields tends not to affect the harvested area of paddy in West Tomohon District. Harvested
Area in 2016-2018 tends to increase. This trend is influenced, among others, by the availability
of water and the availability of labor.
