Evaluates land-use compatibility and disaster risk in East Java, highlighting the need for sustainable planning.

The aim is to assess environmental carrying capacity and identify spatial mismatches in land use against capability.
Analyzed land capability using biophysical parameters such as slope gradient and soil texture.
Employed GIS-based spatial overlay analysis to compare land capability with existing and planned land uses.
Identified areas of conformity and mismatch between land use and land capability.
Approximately 52% of the provincial area aligns with its land capability.
Erosion affects over 43% of the region, particularly in mountainous areas.
Over 60% of East Java has moderate to severe environmental constraints on land use.
High spatial mismatch is found in southern upland districts and in the northern lowland corridor, increasing flood risk.

Riyadi et al. (2026) studied this question.
