Landform analysis to arrangement “Land Utilization Type” in Galur Sub-District, Kulonprogo

Abstract

Galur is one of the sub-district in KulonProgo Regency. Its land usage is dominated in intensive agricultural usage. The various type of the agricultural activities in study area has different type of land productivities depends on its land capabilities. Land capability analysis with landform approach become the base in this study to identify the sustainable “land utilization type” (LUT) and the land productivity optimal value in Galur sub- district. Observation, measurement, and interview was done by using the Land Classification and Land use Planning (LCLP) tool. Landforms that has productive value identified in this study are: alluvial plain (IId-3), beach ridge (IIIP-2), and beach (VIIIP). The usage of alluvial plain could be rice-(corn/nuts)-rice or could be replaced with rice-chili-rice. The usage of beach ridge could be the planting of plantation crops such as melon, onion, and chili, and could be the farming of goat and chicken. Land usage type in beach is left naturally because it has land capability type VIII (low capability).
