Description
Summary:The wetlands of Central Kalimantan that cover approximately 3,721,122 hectares or 24.08% of total region has the potency of land resource to support agricultural development. This study was then conducted to develop the concept of integrated spatial as framework of land use planning for sustainable agricultural systems while still preserving the agroecosystem to be safe and profitable ecologically. The land evaluation approach and GIS technology were applied to determine and identify the land suitability of specific groups of crops as agricultural system. Spatially, land use allocation for food crops, estate crops and forestry are 604,427 hectares (16.24%), 1,159,682 hectares (31.16%), and 1,957,013 hectares (52.59%) respectively. This concept can then be used as a basic consideration to propose land use policy and land management specific to location in order to develop sustainable agriculture in Central Kalimantan wetlands.
