Plantation land expansion in forest areas has been a problem for some time as an effort to meet rising food demands, so land suitability measures are required. The development of the Analythical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Geographic Information System (GIS) combination has been found to be effective in determining land suitability, but still rarely to determining plantation crops in forest areas. The study's goal was to integrate AHP and GIS methods to evaluate the land suitability class for plantation crops in the Wonosalam forest area. The findings revealed that the land suitability class assessment obtained S3 results, or results that were slightly in accordance with the erosion hazard constraint, to potentially S2 results, or results that were quite in accordance with many constraints such as retention factors, nutrients, erosion hazard, and land preparation. Furthermore, the expert decision-making hierarchy concluded that topography, climate, soil physical properties, and nutrient retention can consistently influence the direction of land suitability assessment policies for durian, clove, and coffee species. Rainfall, altitude, land preparation, and c-organic content are all important priority parameters in determining land suitability for durian plants. In contrast to cloves, temperature, surface rock, erosion, and pH are known to be important factors in determining land suitability. Experts also consider humidity, altitude, land preparation, and C-Organic as a land suitability assessment for the different types of coffee plants in the Wonosalam Forest Area.
The purpose of the study is to explain the important impact of using mural art as a destination branding to promote Kampong Opak Gambir in Plosokerep Village, Blitar City. This study uses a qualitative research method with a phenomenological approach. This study aims to reveal the structure of the subject's awareness in relation to the phenomenon of destination branding using murals. Data collection techniques used surveys with questionnaires and used interviews with village officials, community leaders, local creative economy actors, women's groups, and youth organizations. The researchers realized the expectations of the subjects, based on the results of field observations, responses from questionnaires, and interviews (15 informants) by changing the appearance of the village through mural art in several locations chosen by villagers. This study found that the collective identity of the residents of Plosokerep Village agreed to give the name Kampong Opak Gambir as a destination branding. Meanwhile, mural artworks strengthen destination branding, because they beautify tourist spots to increase the attractiveness of tourist objects and the number of tourist visits. Determination and strengthening of destination branding through a construction process among local government actors, local economic actors, and local tourism actors through collective activities involving elements of cognition, affection, and social relations within the village community and externally with the city government and investors.
