ABSTRACT
Agricultural land conversion in Indonesia has became a major concern since 1980s. Land conversion have a great impact to food production, loss of ecological function, agriculture unemployment, and loss of irrigation infrastructure. Juridical approach is not longer effective to address the issue of land conversion, thus the government need to adopt more operational approach. The aim of this research are to identify socioeconomic characteristics in the area of land preservation program (LP2B) in Kuningan Regency and to determine the incentives for LP2B program. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, likert scale and system dynamic. Based on the result, there are nine socioeconomic indicator on land preservation program (LP2B) in Kuningan Regency, namely; land conversion rate, food balance, disparity between farm and non-farm income, agriculture households, agriculture labor, farmers' groups, spatial planning policies and farmers perceptions. Farmers have a positive perception on LP2B program. The dynamic model simulation showed that moderate scenario consist of price policy, tax reduction, irrigation improvement, with fertilizer and seed subsidy reduction gives the best results. Incentives priority should give to Cilimus sub district due to high conversion rate. Meanwhile Ciawigebang and Cibingbin sub district become a next priority. Instead of rely on incentives for farmers, government should make an disincentive to those who convert the agricultural land.
