Abstract

Land system science as a complex system has been explored by using various approaches such as remote sensing, economics, ecology, and geography. Agent-based modeling (ABM), as a third way of doing science, enables researchers to explore the complex system deeper on land science. Interdisciplinary approach has brought land use science into agent-based modeling. Bottom-up view and inclusion of agent as real-life representation brought a powerful method to analyze land use change and cover (LUCC) and explore coupling between human and natural system. Land use decision-making is a function of interaction between internal models of the land manager with its environment. This study incorporates two variables, commercial and farm expectation, as a representation between productivity farmland and other commercial objectives of the land. Agents have the ability to alter land use based on rational and irrational decision-making process. The objective of this paper is to capture the behavior of the agent and observe land use change that resulted from agent decision-making.
