Intensive agriculture causes nutrient leaching and accelerates erosion processes, which threatens the good quality status of surface waters, as proposed by the European Union (EU) Water Framework Directive. The purpose of this study was to define the impact of two alternative agricultural land-use change scenarios defined in a Municipal Spatial Plan on surface water quality by using the Agricultural Policy/Environmental eXtender (APEX) model. As experimental area, we chose a small Kožbanjšček stream catchment (1464 ha) situated in the Goriška Brda region in Slovenia. The area, due to favorable conditions for vineyards, is facing increasing deforestation. The change of 66.3 ha of forests to vineyards would increase the sediment, nitrate, and phosphorus loads in the stream by 24.8%, 17.1%, and 10.7%, respectively. With the implementation of vegetative buffer strips as a mitigation measure of the current situation, we could reduce the sediment, nitrate, and phosphorus loads by 17.9%, 11.1%, and 3.1%, respectively, while a combination of the two land-use change scenarios would result in a slight increase of the above-mentioned loads, corresponding to 0.61%, 2.1%, and 6.6%, respectively, compared to the baseline situation. The results confirm that, as we can increase pollution levels with deforestation, we can also reduce water pollution by choosing proper types of land management measures.

Abstract: The industry has a great influence on the economy of Semarang Regency by becoming the largest contributor to Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP). The rapid industrial development from 2011-2017 has an impact on the decrease of agricultural land area, besides that industrial development has implication on land use mismatch of Spatial Plan. This study describes the results of descriptive qualitative analysis with spatial approach from the impact of industrial development on land use change and land use suitability for industry in 2017 against Spatial Plan. The analysis shows that, first, the impact of industrial development on land use change in Semarang regency in 2011-2017 resulted in the amount of agricultural land decreased by 253,32 Ha. The biggest land use change occurred on industrial land use that is 146,10 Ha (28,84%). Second, the use of land for industry in 2017 of 288,05 Ha has been in accordance with the spatial plan is in accordance with the industrial designation area, while the land with an area of 202,02 Ha is used for industries that are not in accordance with the industrial designation area. Keywords: Land Use Change, The Industry, The Suitability of The Spatial Plans Intisari: Industri telah memberikan pengaruh terhadap perekonomian Kabupaten Semarang dengan menjadi penyumbang terbesar pada Produk Domestik Regional Bruto (PDRB). Pesatnya perkembangan industri dari tahun 2011-2017 berdampak pada penurunan luas tanah pertanian, disamping itu perkembangan industri tersebut berimplikasi pada ketidaksesuaian penggunaan tanah tehadap Rencana Tata Ruang Wilayah (RTRW). Kajian ini menjelaskan mengenai hasil analisis secara deskriptif kualitatif dengan pendekatan keruangan dari dampak pembangunan industri terhadap perubahan penggunaan tanah serta kesesuaian penggunaan tanah untuk industri tahun 2017 terhadap RTRW. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa pertama, dampak pembangunan industri terhadap perubahan penggunaan tanah di Kabupaten Semarang tahun 2011-2017 mengakibatkan jumlah luas tanah pertanian mengalami penurunan sebesar 253,32 Ha. Perubahan penggunaan tanah terbesar terjadi pada penggunaan tanah untuk industri yaitu seluas 146,10 Ha (28,84%). Kedua, penggunaan tanah untuk industri tahun 2017 seluas 288,05 Ha telah sesuai dengan RTRW yaitu sesuai dengan kawasan peruntukan industri, sedangkan tanah dengan luas 202,02 Ha digunakan untuk industri yang tidak sesuai dengan kawasan peruntukan industri. Kata Kunci: perubahan penggunaan tanah, industri, kesesuaian RTRW

The Impact

Teck's Castle Project is the largest coal mine project to be mined in Canada. This article is an environmental assessment of Teck's Castle Project based on five valued ecosystem components (VECs) including: Surface Water Quality, Fish and Fish habitat, Vegetation, Local Employment, and Land Use. I proposed to use a surface water quality model to detect the degree of pollution of the water quality of the surrounding rivers and use an economic multiplier to measure the impact on local economic employment. Through research, I found that the water treatment facilities used by Teck Coal Limited can effectively alleviate the impact of the project on the water quality of the surrounding rivers, and I recommended that Teck Coal Limited wear protective equipment to protect their health when working.
