Nutmeg plant (Myristica sp.) produces seeds and mace as the main commodities of world spice trade. Nutmeg plant habitats in West Java are distributed mainly in Bogor, Sukabumi and Cianjur Regencies. This study aimed to determine the suitability of nutmeg habitats in three nutmeg production centers in West Java based on soil type and slope using the Geographic Information System (GIS) approach and Aster DEM (Digital Elevation Model) analysis. The study was conducted from August to December 2018, by collecting data of: a) The coordinates of the area planted with nutmeg using GPS (Global Positioning System), b) Field documentation in the form of descriptions around the data collection point, c) Soil analysis data, d) Land area data, e) Map of the earth scale of 1:50,000 scale from the Geospatial Information Agency, and f) Landsystem map of West Java scale of 1:250,000. Data were analyzed using Arc GIS 9.3. The results of land suitability analysis based on rainfall data for Bogor region was classified in the category of marginally suitable (S3), while the regions of Sukabumi and Cianjur were sufficiently suitable (S2). Temperature of Bogor region was categorized as the most suitable (S1), while Sukabumi and Cianjur regions were sufficiently suitable (S2) for nutmeg development. The distribution of nutmeg was in Latosol and Regosol soils, with soil pH of rather acidic (pH 4.78-5.98), clay texture, low to high C-organic content (1.5-4.5%) and moderate to high N-Total (0.2-0.5%). Cation exchange capacity ranged from 25-30 cmol(+)/kg with a base saturation level of around 55-60%. Based on slope, the distribution of nutmeg in the West Java region was in the range of slope with a flat (<8%) to sloping (8-15%) category, with altitudes between 400-900 m above sea level classified as suitable to very suitable for nutmeg development. The overall agroecological suitability of nutmeg plants in three nutmeg production centers in the West Java region was classified as suitable to be managed and developed

AbstractGoogle Earth imagery is used here in conjunction with a Geographic Information System to identify transverse drainages and recreate palaeodrainage in an internally draining region in Iran. At least 35 water gaps and 34 wind gaps are shown to exist in the region, as well as evidence for an integrated palaeodrainage that originated north of the internally draining region and emptied into the Mand watershed to the west. The topographic characteristics of the transverse drainages suggest a strong control by local topography, and support formation of the internally draining region by basin filling and overflow. Both climatic and tectonic factors may have controlled the loss of external connectivity.

Seepage velocity is a very important criterion in infrastructure construction. The planning of numerous large infrastructure projects requires the mapping of seepage velocity at a large scale. To date, however, no reliable approach exists to determine seepage velocity at such a scale. This paper presents a tool within ArcMap/Geographic Information System (GIS) software that can be used to map the seepage velocity at a large scale. The resultant maps include both direction and magnitude mapping of the seepage velocity. To verify the GIS tool, this study considered two types of aquifer conditions in two regions in Iraq: silty clayey (Babylon province) and sandy (Dibdibba in Karbala province). The results indicate that, for Babylon province, the groundwater flows from the northwest to southeast with a seepage velocity no more than 0.19 m/d; for the Dibdibba region, the groundwater flows from the west to the east with a seepage velocity not exceeding 0.27 m/d. The effectiveness of the presented tool in depicting the seepage velocity was thus demonstrated. The accuracy of the resultant maps depends on the resolution of the four essential maps (groundwater elevation head, effective porosity, saturated thickness, and transmissivity) and locations of wells that are used to collect the data.

The Right

Poverty is a fundamental problem that several districts and cities have, especially in West Java province. One important aspect to support the Poverty Reduction Strategy is the availability of poverty data that is accurate and on target with good visualization so that it can facilitate the data analysis process. A website-based Geographic Information System is the right solution for mapping the distribution of poverty data. Making this website using software development methods and the Rational Unified Process (RUP) with the Unified Modeling Language (UML) modeling language tool. For the maps, making process using Quantum GIS software and database storage using PostgreSQL. This website is expected to make it easier for the public to find the latest information and analyze poverty data, especially in districts and cities in West Java.
