The Problems in My Hometown

1. Introduction
2. Problems: 1) The narrowing of agriculture land because of the construction of public facilities.
                       2)  Urbanization. From another places to Karawang. Because they want to be an employees in one of many factories in Karawang and because the salaries of an employees in Karawang is fairly large.

3. Solution: 1) Build the house vertically and for the farmers they have to be aware in order not to sell their farm easily.
                   2) The government should do the equalize to the village. For the villagers itself they can working in their own place, for example they can make any kind of farm, so they can sell their own crops.

4. Conclution

        Karawang has an epithet as "Granary City", but now has become one of the largest "Industrial City". It has a positive and negative impacts. But now I would like to tell you about the problems in my hometown.
        The first problem in my hometown is the narrowing of agricultural land because of the construction of public facilities. Population growth accelerated due to the lack of knowledge within society and habits of rural society that tend to have more children can aggravate the situation of agriculture in Indonesia. Agricultural land is getting narrowed due to the transation of agricultural land into residential housing. The need for residential housing are increasingly growing. Moreover the construction of public facilities are more and more, like modern markets and malls are increasingly eroded the agricultural lands. Therefore, narrowing of agricultural land because of transition to the non-agricultural are increasingly inevitable.
        The second problem is Karawang has become one of urbanization destination from various areas. Actually this is the one of a negative impacts from Problem 1. Urbanization itself has a negative impacts, for example increasing the population. The density of population can cause the intense competition in finding a job with people from another regions (who do the urbanization). So then, it will make the citizens of Karawang from year to year didn't have a job. From the data that I get, the number of unemployment is still relatively high, its about 114 thousand peoples, although Karawang famous as an industrial area.
        So, to minimize the problem 1, which the narrowing the agriculture land because of the construction of public facilities, they can build the house vertically to save on the use of land, then to disseminate to the public the importance of agricultural land is expected to increase public awareness, especially farmers who have agricultural land in order not to sell their farm easily and remember to keeping the importance of their land. Whereas, the solution for problem 2 are, the government should do the equalize, so the villagers do not do the urbanization. For the villagers itself they can working in their own place, for example they can make any kind of farm, so they can sell their own crops. I think it will be good because they can do something better for their own place and there will be no overcrowding in certain areas.
