Abstract

Durian peel is one of the agricultural wastes that has great potential to be processed into high-value products. However, its utilization is still not optimal due to the lack of information about the strategic location of this raw material. This article aims to discuss the use of Geographic Information System (GIS) and IT technology in identifying the optimal location of durian peel raw materials. GIS is a very effective tool for collecting, managing, and analyzing spatial data related to the location of raw materials, making it easier to determine strategic points for durian shell collection. Architectural design that considers aspects of sustainability, energy efficiency, and minimizing environmental impact, treatment facilities can operate more efficiently and environmentally friendly. Industrial engineering also plays an important role in improving the efficiency of the processing process. By applying the right industrial techniques, the production process can be optimized to produce high-value products at a lower cost. The use of GIS and IT technology, coupled with the principles of environmentally friendly architecture and industrial engineering, can provide a comprehensive solution to optimize the use of durian peel as a raw material for high-value products.

Abstract

The Unmul Samarinda Botanical Garden (KRUS) holds a strategic role in the conservation of tropical biodiversity in East Kalimantan. This study specifically analyzes the dynamics of shrub, herbaceous, and tree vegetation using a quantitative approach through the quadrat method, which remains rarely applied comprehensively in conservation areas across eastern Indonesia. This research offers a novel approach by integrating vegetation structure metrics (including Shannon-Wiener, Pielou’s evenness, and Simpson’s dominance indices) with an assessment of environmental variables—such as soil pH, water supply, and light levels—within a spatial analysis based on ecological zoning. The results indicate that shrub and herbaceous vegetation tend to have a more even distribution, while trees exhibit clustered patterns, with overall high biodiversity levels (index >2.5). Tree vegetation is dominated by native Kalimantan species, whereas shrubs and herbs demonstrate greater species diversity, including the presence of invasive species. The practical contribution of this research includes providing a scientific foundation for KRUS management in formulating more adaptive and data-driven conservation strategies, particularly in mitigating invasive species. Furthermore, the findings may serve as a reference for sustainable green space planning in other tropical conservation areas and promote the integration of quantitative approaches into vegetation preservation policies.
