Abstract
Bogor Regency borders several cities on the outskirts of Jakarta and Bogor City. This location explains the rapid developments that Bogor is experiencing. Notably, in line with the development of Jakarta and Bogor, people search for alternative locations to live in this regency. As a consequence,the conversion of land from agricultural into residential areas is taking place at an alarming rate. This is an issue the local government must consider. This research determined the changes inperi-urban areas in Bogor Regency by using multivariate analysis. This method was selected because of the availability of a large data set in Bogor Regency, mainly village potential data (PODES). Multivariate analysis can be used in determiningthe changes of peri-urban areas through factor analysis, principal component analysis, cluster analysis, and the mapping of peri-urban areas usingvillage potential data from 2011 and 2014. The study used 12out of 34 available variables to identify peri-urban areas in Bogor Regency. From a total of434 villages in Bogor Regency 82 villages were categorized as peri-urban in 2011, whereas by 2014, there were 288 peri-urban villages. Consequently, the number of villages categorized as rural decreased from 332 to125. These results indicatedthat the method is successful inshowing the development of a region. As such,itcan be used for drafting policies for rapidly developing areas.
