Economic growth of the industrial, trade and service sectors acts as the
driving force of urbanization. Firman (1992) concludes that urban population growth
is evident not only in the big cities but also in their peripheries and in the areas close
to the regional arterial roads connecting the larger cities. Land transformation did not
decreased but rather accelerated and diversified with the onset of industrial
revolution and globalization of the world economy and the expansion of population.
Firman’s finding confirms McGee’s assertion that rapid urban growth in Asia is
joining big cities (McGee, 1991). McGee (1987 and 1990, cited in Firman, 1992,
p.96) identifies six characteristics of such urbanized corridors in Asia: (i) a very high
population density; (ii) generally but not exclusively wetrice regions with very small
landholdings; (iii) enveloping big cities in the regions; (iv) growth of diverse, non-
agricultural activities; (v) considerable interaction between rural and urban activities;
earth’s land surface has been transformed by human activities. Recent studies have
shown that urban development is taking place on the most fertile and productive
land. We need to understand what has urbanization underpinned in the past and it is
bringing changes in the future. While their numerous issues that could be addressed
concerning urban influences on the biosphere ranging from the conversion of land
itself to a broader context of the ecosystem services required for the recycling urban
metabolic by products . The food security and the loss in the agricultural products is
the most distinct impact of the wide spread expansion of the activities in both rural

that close to half of the Philippine population is now living in urban areas, and is
expected to breach the 50% mark by year 2050. Such rapid urbanization, which is
about not only by demographic means (i.e., the ‘natural’ increase in population of

such positive relationship. The Philippine National Report (2016) said further that
stable economic growth rates experienced by the Philippines from 2012-2016 “was
driven mainly by the urban sector,” with NCR contributing “one third of the total
output,” and “the industry and services sectors contributing almost 90% to the

job opportunities in urban areas, and cities have increased significantly in size due to
this(Urbanization Prospects, 2001)
Social Causes happens when young people migrate to urban areas in search
of lifestyle changes and with the desire to become associated with the club scenes in
large cities. Such scenes provide employment opportunities (Jahara, 2015)
Table 3 shows what are the effects of urbanization to agriculture. The first is
Urbanization is associated with the decrease of farm size. Farm areas will be
converted into different establishments. As population increases, it needs a larger
area for living. This is to be used not only as home but an economic zone as well. As
the population increases, establishments increase as well. Owners of the farm lands
will multiply as well due to the fact that some will buy a property from the original
owner. The property size will decrease and the owners increases (Ikkerd, 1990).
Stacks do not rise with greater population density. The greater the population,
the greater the demand. Agricultural products will be used and less will be stored.
Since there are lots of consumers in the area, agricultural products will be used for
survival, less to none will be stored. This will require a certain area to look for some
sources in the other areas (IMMAP, 2012).
