This study aimed to explain the conditions of poverty in Gorontalo Province, Sulawesi, Indonesia, to identify the causes of poverty in the province, and then to propose efforts to reduce this poverty. Data related to human and economic resources were used in the analysis. The condition of poverty was seen through the DPSIR approach, which consists of the driver (D), pressure (P), state (S), impact (I), and response (R). Poverty in Gorontalo Province could be reduced by utilizing the occupation that dominates the population, which is in agriculture sector. Therefore, developing an agropolitan system is a solution. In the first stage, the location quotient (LQ), shift share (SS), and Klassen typology methods were used to determine regencies or cities that have the potential to develop an agropolitan system. The results of the analysis showed that there were two districts that have the potential to develop agropolitan systems, namely Pohuwato Regency and Gorontalo Regency. Efforts to reduce poverty in Gorontalo Province with an agropolitan system can be continued with a second stage consisting of the preparation of products and forms of management organizations, and a third stage in the form of strengthening human resources.
Taman Nasional Baluran memiliki kondisi geomorfologi dan iklim yang khas sehingga dapat membentuk sabana. Masalah yang terjadi di Taman Nasional Baluran adalah adanya perubahan penutup lahan seiring berjalannya waktu. Kondisi tersebut diikuti dengan perubahan struktur ekologi bentanglahan. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pola penutup lahan berdasarkan aspek geomorfologi dan dinamika perubahannya di Taman Nasional Baluran. Teknik sistem informasi geografis dan penginderaan jauh digunakan untuk menginterpretasi kondisi geomorfologi dan penutup lahan. Analisis ini juga menggunakan software FRAGSTAT untuk mengkuantifikasi landscape metrics. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa setiap penutup lahan memiliki pola sesuai dengan kondisi geomorfologi. Temuan lain menunjukkan bahwa penutup lahan semak dan belukar, sabana, serta hutan lahan rendah mengalami perubahan luas secara signifikan selama tahun 1997-2019. Fragmentasi yang terjadi pada penutup lahan di Taman Nasional Baluran, terutama sabana yang mengalami penurunan luas, turut mengancam kelestarian habitat flora dan fauna asli. Baluran National Park has unique geomorphology and climate conditions, so savannas possibly formed. The problem that happened in Baluran National Park is the land cover changes over time. The condition then followed by the change of landscape ecology structures. Therefore, this study aims to analyze land cover patterns based on geomorphological aspects and the change dynamics in Baluran National Park. Geographic information systems and remote sensing techniques were used to interpret the geomorphological and land cover condition. This analysis also used FRAGSTAT software to quantify landscape metrics. The result showed that each land cover has a pattern in accordance with geomorphological characteristics. Other findings showed that the land cover of shrubs, savannas, and lowland forests underwent significant changes during 1997-2019. The fragmentation that has occurred on Baluran National Park’s land cover, especially savannas that have decreased in area, also threatens the preservation of native flora and fauna habitats.
