ANALYSIS OF THE POPULATION DATA OF LOCAL CHICKENS IN THE CITIES OF YOGYAKARTA, BANTUL, SLEMAN, AND KULON PROGO FROM 2019 TO 2022

Abstract

This study analyzes the population trends of native chickens (Gallus gallus domesticus) in the cities of Yogyakarta, Bantul, Sleman, and Kulon Progo during the period 2019–2022 based on secondary data from the Central Statistics Agency. The method used was quantitative descriptive with a trend analysis approach to observe changes in numbers, growth percentages, and population fluctuation patterns between regions. The results of the study show differences in characteristics: Yogyakarta City experienced a drastic decline due to land limitations and urbanization; Bantul showed consistent growth, making it a potential center for native chicken development; Sleman showed fluctuating patterns influenced by market and environmental dynamics; while Kulon Progo experienced ups and downs, indicating the presence of external factors such as local policies. These findings confirm the role of native chickens as a strategic sub-sector in food security, community economic empowerment, and the preservation of agrarian culture in the Special Region of Yogyakarta. This study is expected to serve as an academic reference and a basis for regional policy planning to maintain the sustainability of the native chicken population.
