Abstract. Urbanization and population growth are logical consequences for economic growth
and regional development. In the face of the pressure of urbanization, both in the form of
competition for land use and increasing food needs, an adaptation effort of the agricultural
system is needed. This study analyzes the patterns of in-situ urbanization that occurred in Batu
City, East Java, and the dynamics of the development of agricultural areas in Batu City. This
study used land use change analysis, descriptive statistics on socio-economic data, and spatial
clustering analysis to map and obtain a relationship between in-situ urbanization processes that
occur with the development of agricultural areas in Batu City. The results of this study indicate
that there was a strong relationship between the process of in-situ urbanization that occurred in
Batu City towards changes in agricultural land use and resulted in the adaptation of a
multifunctional farming system in Batu City. There are three types of multifunction agriculture
in the Batu City, with focused on incorporating the tourism and agriculture, and create a strong
social-environmental awareness of the sustainability development. The development of
multifunctional agriculture in Batu City is one of the main strategies to face of current in-situ
urbanization.
