Land suitability analysis using geographic information system (GIS): a case study in Soppeng district

Rajasthan is a region with very limited water resources. Water is the most crucial for maintaining an environment and ecosystem conducive to sustaining all forms of life. The principle of watershed management is the proper management of all the precipitation by the way of collection, storage and efficient utilization of runoff water and to recharge the ground water. The present study aim's to identify suitable zones for water harvesting structures in Pisangan watershed of Ajmer district, Rajasthan by using Geographic Information System (GIS) and Multi Criteria Evaluation (MSE). Multi criteria evaluation is carried out in Geographic Information system to help the decision makers in determining suitable zones for water harvesting structures based on the physical characteristics of the watershed. Different layers which were taken into account for multi criteria evaluation are; Soil texture, slope, rainfall data (2000–2012), land use/cover, geomorphology, lithology, lineaments, drainage network. The soil conservation service model was used to estimate the runoff depth of the study area Analytical Hierarchy Processes (AHP) is used to find suitable water harvesting structures on the basis of rainfall. Produced suitability map will help in the selection of harvesting structures such as percolation tanks, storage tank, check dams and stop dams.

This research was conducted with the aim to determine the suitability of beach tourism area in Bitung city by using Geographic Information System application. This information is necessary to support the provision of geospatial information the beach, so the tourist management in research into more optimum location. Suitability Analysis Zone (spatial) analysis of the suitability of the area is done by using Geographic Information System (GIS), a computer-based geospatial information system involving Arc GIS software 10.1. Based on analysis of the suitability of the area spatially, shows that, for beach tourism area in the area of research, can be divided into 4 (four) classes, namely: (1) land suitability classes by category S1 (Very appropriate) with an area of 376.76 ha (5.87%); (2) land suitability classes with category S2 (Subject) with an area of 262.97 ha (4:10%) (3) land suitability classes with category S3 (In accordance marginal) with an area of 640.48 ha (9.99%) and (4) land suitability classes categories N (Not available) with an area of 5133.79 ha (80.04%) Keywords: Suitability, Area, Zone, Beach Abstrak Penelitian ini dilaksanakan dengan tujuan untuk menentukan kesesuaian kawasan wisata pantai di Kota Bitung dengan menggunakan aplikasi Sistem Informasi Geografis. Informasi ini sangat diperlukan untuk mendukung penyediaan informasi geospasial pantai, sehingga pengelolaan wisata di lokasi penelitian menjadi lebih optimum. Analisis Kesesuaian Kawasan (Spasial) Analisis kesesuaian kawasan dilakukan dengan menggunakan Sistem Informasi Geografis (SIG), yaitu sistem informasi geospasial berbasis komputer dengan melibatkan perangkat lunak Arc GIS 10.1. Berdasarkan hasil analisis kesesuaian kawasan secara spasial, diperoleh bahwa untuk kawasan wisata pantai pada daerah penelitian, dapat dibagi menjadi 4 (empat) kelas, yaitu: (1) kelas kesesuaian lahan dengan kategori S1 (Sangat Sesuai) dengan areal seluas 376.76 ha (5.87%); (2) kelas kesesuaian lahan dengan kategori S2 (Sesuai) dengan areal seluas 262.97 ha (4.10 %) (3) kelas kesesuaian lahan dengan kategori S3 (Sesuai Marginal) dengan areal seluas 640.48 ha (9.99%) dan (4) kelas kesesuaian lahan dengan kategori N (Tidak Sesuai) dengan areal seluas 5133.79 ha (80.04%)
