Land use planning of paddy field using geographic information system and land evaluation in West Lombok, Indonesia

Planning analysis to increase rice production either through intensiḀcation of existing paddy Ḁeld area or ex-tensiḀcation in potential land area was conducted in West Lombok Regency, West Nusa Tenggara Province, Indonesia. Existing paddy Ḁeld was delineated using high-resolution data from IKONOS imagery of 2012. Land use and land cover outside existing paddy Ḁeld were interpreted using SPOT-5 imagery of 2012. ἀe Automated Land Evaluation System (ALES) was used for land suitability analysis for paddy. ἀe results are interpreted in terms of the potential of paddy Ḁeld intensiḀcation in existing paddy Ḁeld area and the potential of extensiḀcation in land potentially used for paddy Ḁeld. ἀe result of analysis showed that in West Lombok Regency, there are still possible to do intensiḀcation and extensiḀca-tion of paddy Ḁeld to increase rice production in order to improve regional food security.

Predictive Variables

In this research, the integrated model of GIS and decision tree (DT) was built for land suitability analysis that support the foundation of land use planning. GIS was used to create thematic maps and decision tree shows several factor combinations according to plant average productivity. This study is applied for coconut trees in Mo Cay Nam district, Ben Tre province. The target variable is the productivity and the predictor variables consist of soil types, salinity, acidity, flood and irrigation. The study shows that the interpretation level of the predictive variables is 99.09%. The area of highly suitable is 3,522.22 hectares, suitable is 12,376.21 hectares, moderately suitable is 6,309.37 hectares.

Potential Land

Sorghum has great potential to be cultivated and developed commercially because it has wide adaptability, high productivity, is resistant to plant pests and is more resistant to marginal conditions. Land evaluation is useful as a basis for sector development in an area that is useful for reorganizing the existing land use to assist in making land use planning decisions. This study that was aimed to evaluate land suitability for sorghum was conducted descriptively using the survey method. The sampling method used was based on a land map unit with a free grid system. The land evaluation was carried out by matching and comparing land characteristics with land suitability class criteria to obtain land suitability classes for sorghum plants in Bilah Barat District, Labuhanbatu Regency. There were six soil sample points collected at a depth of 0-60 cm to determine the value of soil characteristics. The results showed that the cultivated sorghum in Bilah Barat District, Labuhanbatu Regency of 12,829 ha which has the actual land suitability class for sorghum is Nwa with the potential land suitability class is S2tcwa.

Hau Giang is one of 13 provinces in the Mekong Delta. Total land area is 162,171 ha (statistics 2014), agricultural land is 141,217 ha accounting for 87.08 % of natural area. To exploit the reasonable land and provide a scientific basis for adjusting the land use planning to 2020, the evaluation of land resources in Hau Giang was carried out. To apply the land evaluation methodology of FAO to research on natural conditions, socio-economic related to land use to evaluate land resources as well as to apply for geographic information system (GIS) and automatically land evaluation system (ALES) gave results positively, quickly and efficiently. Evaluation results showed that Hau Giang had four major land groups with 11 land mapping units; alluvium land group accounted for 37.26 % of natural area. From the map overlay has been integrated 28 land units. Basing on 44 LUTs surveys was selected for 16 LUTs to have development prospects to evaluate land suitability. Land use was divided into 5 main groups: alluvial land belonged to riverside Hau, slightly saline land was not submerged and was shallow, and low-lying saline land was flooded and saline land was salty. To combine with evaluating the current state of land use, productive techniques and socio-economic development needed supplementing of land use planning by 2020 as follows: (1) agricultural land is 141,217 ha (87.08 %); (2) non-agricultural land is 20,918 ha (12.90 %) and (3) unused land is 36 ha (0.02 %) of natural area.

Suitability Analysis

Twenty-two typical pedons (14 soil series- TTK1 to TTK-14) representing major landforms of Tatrakallu village of Ananatapuramu district of Andhra Pradesh were evaluated by using qualitative and quantitative methods. Three major land capability classes (III, IV and VI) were identified with two sub classes (erosion and wetness). Crop suitability analysis revealed that the village falls under marginally suitable (S3) with limitations of soil fertility, wetness and sodicity and not suitable (N) with limitations of slope, texture shallow rooting depth, sodicity and poor nutrient status. Riquier’s parametric approach was found to be good indicator for identification of production potential. The land evaluation revealed that, suitability and productivity of these soils were highly variable, and hence their management must be site-specific. The suggestion including the crop residue retention, nutrient recycling, minimum tillage, crop rotation, cover crops and intercropping not only helps to conserve soil and water more effectively in soils but also increase organic matter content and improve fertilizer use efficiency. Farmers continued to grow groundnut, pigeonpea, chickpea and castor for many years on marginally suitable as they are not aware of suitable soils for a particular crop. Adoption of suggested ameliorative measures and land use not only improve the yield but also sustain the soil productivity.

Total Study Area

Karst features such as polje are highly vulnerable to natural and anthropogenic pollution. The main objectives of this study were to investigate the soil quality in the Ioannina polje (north-west Greece) concerning arsenic (As) and zinc (Zn), and delineate their origin as well as compare the As and Zn content in soil with criteria recorded in the literature. For this purpose, the geomorphological settings, the land use, and the soil physicochemical properties were mapped and evaluated, including soil texture and concentrations of aqua-regia extractable As and Zn. The concentration of elements was spatially correlated with the land use and the geology of the study area, while screening values were applied to assess land suitability. The results reveal that 72% of the total study area has a very gentle slope. This relief favors urban and agricultural activity. Thus, the urban and agricultural land used cover 92% of the total area. The spatial distribution for As and Zn in the soil of the study area is located on very gentle slopes and is strongly correlated with the geological parent materials and human-induced contamination sources. Arsenic and Zn can be considered enriched in the soil of the area studied. The median topsoil contents (in mg kg−1) for As (agricultural soil 16.0; urban soil 17.8) and Zn (agricultural soil 92.0; urban soil 95.0) are higher compared to the corresponding median values of European topsoils. Land evaluation suitability concerning criteria given from the literature is discussed. The proposed work may be helpful in the project of land use planning and the protection of the natural environment.

Direct Applicability

AbstractMaps and plans represent essential tools of the trade for planners and applied earth scientists alike, and thematic maps produced by geologists should be able to be understood by planners. Geology, geotechnics, geomorphology, hydrogeology and related sciences can provide essential data on some of the constraints to development and resources for development. Recognition of these permits safer, more cost- effective planning and development, and allows rational decisions to be taken as far as the exploitation of resources is concerned. Consequently the Department of Environment had been commissioning research to investigate the best means of collecting, collating, interpreting and presenting, in sets of maps and reports, geological results of direct applicability to land-use planning. For example, some years ago initial studies in thematic mapping were undertaken by the British Geological Survey and more recently a number of private consultants have carried out such work. Unfortunately, the results of some of these surveys have not, as yet, been published.
