Abstract

The increasing population growth and the presence of land have the potential to trigger residents of Bangetayu Wetan and its surroundings to carry out urban farming activities. For this reason, this study aims to determine the potential which includes area, types of crops, yield predictions, constraints and other benefits in the development of urban farming. Methods of data collection are carried out by means of observation, interviews, and documentation. The railroad border or sempadan located in Tlogomulyo Village, Pedurungan District, Semarang City has the potential to be used as urban farming. Many Bangetayu Wetan people also do agriculture on the sempadan. The area of the border is around 1 to 2 ha. The plants are corn, cassava, sugar cane, banana, papaya, basil, lamtoro, oyong, pumpkin. The yield prediction is sufficient to meet food needs. The constraints experienced are the presence of pests, diseases and weeds. The urban farming activity carried out can not only meet food needs, but can also felt the other benefits from ecology, economy, social, healthy, esthetic, education, recreation, and others.
