In fact, agricultural land<br>\nmust be increased because the need for rice is increasing as a<br>\nresult of an increase in population.<\/p>\n<p>But the reverse has happened. We have all noticed that in some<br>\nregions like Tangerang, Bekasi, Serang and even Karawang (known<br>\nas the rice granary for West Java) the size of rice fields is<br>\ndecreasing, making room for housing complexes and industries. So<br>\nwhy don't we stop this trend. If we need more houses we can build<br>\nmulti-story houses on unproductive land.<\/p>\n<p>As for industrial areas we should find barren land, or better<br>\nyet, find land outside Java. The eastern part of Indonesia would<br>\nbe good and also corresponds to the government's program to<br>\ndevelop that area.<\/p>\n<p>A. HAMID ALIMUN<\/p>\n<p>Jakarta<\/p>",
