Soil Damage Potential Index Based on Weighting Scoring Analysis and Utilization of Geographical Information Systems

Abstract

Indonesia's population in 2021 will increase by 0.92% from 2020. The increasing population demands the fulfillment of food. Land changes and their consequences indicate land damage. The purpose of the study was to assess the soil damage potential index (SDPI) on the slopes of Mount Argopura through terrain analysis and the use of geographic information system technology. The research was carried out on the slopes of Mount Argopura in 2022. The tools used included a clinometer, a GPS, spectrophotometer, AAS, arc GIS 13 and minitab. The materials included administrative maps, soil maps, slope maps, RBI maps, land use maps, rainfall maps. This research is descriptive exploratory with field survey method. The activity is divided into 3 stages, namely pre-survey, field survey, and post-survey. Research parameters include texture, soil thickness, soil type, soil pH, CEC, base saturation, soil drainage, parent material, landform, relief, rainfall, and land use. Based on the results of the study, the SDPI with an area of 22,148.75 ha was in the heavy category 44.12% (9772.28 ha), the medium category was 53.11% (11762.84 ha), and the light category was 2.77% (613.63 ha).

Tourism Investment and Land Use Change in the Northern Piedmont of the Western High Atlas (1989-2022)

“…This concentration is explained in part by the lack of availability of undeveloped land in Marrakech, which has led to a strong demand for land and opened up investment opportunities in the tourism sector (Kurniawansyah et al, 2023;Stapane et al, 2023). In the eastern part of the study area, a more even spread of tourism investment was observed, originating from land previously used for agricultural purposes (Basuki et al, 2022). The abundance of this category was attributed to the flourishing agricultural activity in the communes of Ghmate, Ourika, and Tamazouzte, where water resources, such as Oued Ourika and Issyl and the tributaries, favour development.…”

Analysis of Land Potential Index of Village Cash Land and Oro-Oro Land in Boyolali Regency

“…The parameters that have been given dignity are then overlaid. The results of the overlay get a total rating which can then be classified into the IPL class [25], [26], [27], [28]. The total value calculation is performed via the subsequent formula: IPL = (R+L+T+H) x B Information: IPL: Land Potential Index Q: Soil Type R: Slope H: Hydrology L: Lithology B: Disaster Vulnerability…”

Physical-Chemical Characteristics and Soil Classification of Lowland Alluvial Land Using Three Soil Classification Systems

“…The land area has decreased by 3% from the previous year (Al-Mukmin et al, 2016). The decline in the area of agricultural land in Indonesia is difficult to avoid due to the influence of population growth and development (Basuki et al, 2022a). In the 1990s, Indonesia was self-sufficient in rice, which has declined until now (Mulyani et al, 2020;Mulyani & Nursyamsi, 2017;Pujiharti, 2017).…”
