The development of the Agropolitan Area aims to increase the income and welfare of the community through accelerating regional development and increasing the attachment of villages and cities (Bahasoan, 2021). Agropolitan area consists of agricultural towns and villages of agricultural production centers. This area is not limited by government administrative boundaries village, sub-district and district. Adjusted to the economic scale of the region so that it is felt more flexible. Thus, the shape and area of the Agropolitan Area may include one village, sub-district, or several sub-districts within one Regency area. This area can also include areas that penetrate the territory of other visiting regencies/cities. Figure 1. Agropolitan Implementation Mechanism Kuningan Regency has great potential in the agricultural sector; the area of agricultural land in 2019 was 69,879 Ha in the form of 29,046 hectares of rice fields and 40,833 hectares of non-rice fields. semi-technical irrigation, 2007 Ha simple irrigation; 5,646 Ha of village irrigation and 7,856 Ha of rainfed rice fields. On average, paddy fields can be planted two to three times a year, and have an average productivity of 56.86 quintals/ha (paddy rice). The great potential of agriculture encourages the Kuningan Regency government to maximize the agricultural sector through several local government programs. Determination of the priority commodities of food crops in the agropolitan area of Bojonegoro Regency found that rice and soybeans were the priority commodities for development in the agropolitan area (Anisa & Santoso, 2019). One of the programs implemented is the application of the agropolitan concept in Kuningan Regency. Simanjuntak (2013) says that the agropolitan concept is expected to be able to boost the welfare level of farmers and increase the share of the agricultural sector as a whole to the gross regional domestic product (GDP).

Hmlyan Jr Eco Bus Mgn; 4(1) 154-162 Abstract: Agropolitan is expected to increase farmer’s welfare and share of agricultural sector to gross regional domestic product (GRDP). The aims of this study are to determine the pattern of agricultural commodities in Kuningan Regency based on spatial autocorrelation and to determine agropolitan district which can be developed based on cluster analysis and outlier analysis. These studies rely on secondary data and analyze with LQ and spatial analysis autocorrelation. Based on the results, LQ of rice is relatively uniform. Only four districts are included in the cluster of high rice production while the rest of regions can serve as a buffer region. LQ values of sweet potatoes are relatively concentrated in Kuningan District and are clustered as High High values for some regions. However, there are areas with LQ> 1 which serve as a buffer area. There are 14 districts in Kuningan which have LQ value of cloves > 1. Unfortunately only four districts are categorized in the production of high clusters of cloves while other areas act as a buffer. There are eight districts in Kuningan which have Palm sugar LQ > 1. However only three districts are categorized as the high cluster of palm production, while other areas act as a buffer.
