Agricultural land-use change is a common phenomenon in peri-urban areas such as Kartasura District. During 2014–2024, the rice field area in this region decreased by 539 ha, or approximately 28% of its total area. This study aims to analyze the effects of agricultural land-use change on farming households’ economic conditions, including income, asset ownership, expenditures, debt, and savings. The research method combined Geographic Information System (GIS)-based spatial analysis and quantitative statistical analysis. The findings indicate that rice field conversion had significant effects on income, motorcycle ownership, expenditures, and savings, while debt showed no significant effect. Effects on house assets were identified only in Ngabeyan and Ngemplak villages. These findings demonstrate that agricultural land conversion affects not only patterns of land use but also the economic structure of farmers in different ways across areas. Scientifically, this study strengthens research on the economic effects of agricultural land conversion by integrating spatial and quantitative analyses, while its policy implications may inform efforts to regulate agricultural land conversion in peri-urban areas.
