Abstract

The conversion of forest to agricultural land is an environmental issue that can increase the risk of flooding and landslides, especially in hilly areas. This phenomenon occurs in Ngrejo Village, Tanggunggunung District, Tulungagung Regency, where parts of the forest have been converted into corn fields, which the community uses as an economic resource. This study aims to analyze the impact of forest conversion on flood and landslide risk and to understand the community's perspective on environmental changes occurring in Ngrejo Village. This study used qualitative methods with a descriptive approach. Data collection techniques included observation, interviews, and documentation. The results indicate that forest conversion has a positive impact in the form of increased community income, but also has negative impacts in the form of flooding, small landslides, and mudflows that disrupt community activities during the rainy season. The community continues to maintain agricultural activities because they are perceived as providing economic benefits and employment. This study demonstrates that forest conversion is not only related to environmental damage but also relates to economic needs and how the community perceives ecological risks in their daily lives.
