Spatial Modeling of the Threat of Damage to the Peatland Ecosystem in the Mainland of Bengkalis Regency, Riau Province

Abstract

Peatlands are the stretch of ecosystem landscape with unique characteristics, both physically, chemically, and biodiversity. Anthropogenic activities in peatland use and disasters pose a threat to the preservation of the peatland ecosystem, which has impacts toward abiotic to the element of biodiversity (biotic). The purpose of this research is to model how the threat of the peatland ecosystem by using spatial data modeling. The method in this research using cloud-based GIS data analysis from Google earth engine, modeling distance parameter to variable modeling of interaction among landscapes on the peatland, and weight sum the value over raster-based spatial layer to determinate the thereat in the peatland ecosystem. The results of this study found zones where hot spots often occur. Modeling with euclidean distance to all modeling variables (except temperature) gives a clear effect on how the threats from each landscape interact with each other. We found that the threat of peatland damage in the high threat class dominates the plantation area reaching 30.9% of the total peatland area, whereas the forest landscape only has a high threat with a percentage of 1.9% and a low threat which the ecosystem is stable and natural reaching over 34.7 %. From this model, we succeeded in bringing up the idea to determine the priority area for policies where need to be done in handling the protection of peatland ecosystems, especially in plantations where the highest percentage of the ecosystem threat is in the high level with integrated peatland management.

<strong>The Influence of Land Cover Change Towards Connectivity Networks of Forest Ecosystem in Tesso Nilo National Park</strong>

“…It is actually can be followed up by utilizing spatial modeling as a basis for preventive measures in this problem. The results of spatial modeling are used as a link between variables that provide a significant role in modeling, especially habitat modeling or ecosystem threats (Hidayat and Hanif, 2020). From the results represented in the variable data processing, there is an interrelated relationship in influencing the effect of land use change on the connectivity of the Tesso Nilo National Park ecosystem network which has been successfully proven on the effectiveness of the use of geospatial technology in displaying information, both quantitatively and visually on the interaction of variables within the scope of the area under study.…”

Utilization of Techno-Ecological Agricultural Models for Increasing the Carrying Capacity of Food Land in the Padang City

“…To identification agricultural changes we use spatial analysis, which to obtain the information about the land cover can also by interpreting the Imagery [9]. Where image analysis process used multi spectral satellite image classification, this techniques used algorithm Maximum Likelihood as part of supervised classification, which is known as a well-established image classification statistical model in grouping pixels for land cover identification [10].…”

Impact of Coastal Flood on Building, Infrastructure, and Community Adaptation in Bukit Bestari Tanjungpinang

“…The modeling uses geospatial technology from data on land cover, coastline, river flow, topography, and community settlements. Hidayat (2020) The geospatial technology is very useful for identification, analysis, and estimate spatial data by many sources, criteria and information. The unique character from geospatial technology can combine spatial and non-spatial data then create a new thematic map.…”
