Abstract

Terrain analysis and elevation profiling are widely utilized in geographical studies where spatial information system is one of the foremost tools in assessing characteristic patterns of hiking trails and plain areas suitable for a campsite. The main objective of this study is to classify the landforms of Batu Gangan Forest Reserve by conducting a morphometric analysis of the Digital Elevation Model (DEM) with 10m resolution. The classification process is based on calculating the Topographic Position Index (TPI). Using TPI, the landscape was classified into slope position and landform categories. The delivered TPI landform classes are spatially correlated with the elevation, slope, LS factor, and topographic wetness of the mountain. Site observation was carried out to identify water sources, viewpoints, and their significance as suitable campsites and potential trail. An alternative trail was proposed to reduce the visitor impacts towards the main trails. The result suggested that the plains landform only covered 3.26% or 2.03km2 of the study area, where two potential campsites were identified. The method presented and research findings derived from the study are beneficial to support sustainable recreation resource planning, especially in a complex mountainous area. The study's findings and data will lead to proper forest use for recreational reasons consistent with conservation efforts.

Abstract

Forest fragmentation is a threat to ecosystems in Indonesia caused by forest conversion to plantations. This study aims to analyze the use of land cover in the period 2013-2022. The research was conducted from November 2022 to January 2023 in the Gayo highland area by taking case studies in 2 regions including the Central Aceh District and Bener Meriah District. The research was carried out in several stages, namely: image pre-processing, image visual interpretation, making image classification class identifiers, and ground checking. The pre-processing stage is the preparation of tools and materials. Landsat 8 OLI imagery for the study area downloaded from the United States Geological Survey (USGS) website. The results of the research show that in the last 10 years there has been a decrease in the area of land cover in the exploration area of primary forest and secondary forest. Meanwhile, in the cultivation of dry fields, settlements, plantations and vacant land, land use has increased. Changes in the use of land cover are influenced by community activities in Central Aceh and Bener Meriah Regencies.

Abstract

Evaluating land suitability for Aleurites moluccana in community agroforestry land within Langkat District, North Sumatra, is crucial for promoting sustainable development, enhancing livelihoods, and preserving ecosystems while honoring local traditions and cultures. The primary objective of this research was to evaluate and map the land suitability for A. moluccana within Langkat District, located in North Sumatra, Indonesia. To gather the necessary data, this study employed a survey method, involving the collection of soil samples from ten distinct land units within the field. The assessment of land suitability was carried out using the matching method. Geographic Information System (GIS) technology was utilized to create maps illustrating the distribution of land suitability, while a Global Positioning System (GPS) was employed to accurately record the coordinates of the collected soil samples. The findings revealed that within Gunung Ambat, Simpang Kuta Buluh, Rumah Galuh, and Telagah Village, the actual land suitability classes for A. moluccana were classified as moderately suitable (S2) and marginally suitable (S3). The prevailing limiting factors in this region were temperature (tc) and the characteristics of the root zone medium (rc). Consequently, this influenced the potential land suitability classes for A. moluccana, resulting in classifications ranging from highly suitable (S1) to moderately suitable (S2) and marginally suitable (S3). By implementing land suitability evaluation for A. moluccana in community agroforestry land, promoting sustainable land use, enhancing livelihoods, and conserving natural resources.

Abstract

Timber skidding is one of the most important elements of forest harvesting. The forest harvesting process includes all operations from tree cutting and logging to a mill, rail depot, or ship dock. Efficiency is the ability to avoid wasting materials, energy, efforts, money, and time in doing something or in producing a desired result. For skidding operation, widely using crawler tractors as a medium in transporting logs to the temporary log yard requires attention from many sides. This is because it may affect productivity and the time consumed to do the work. The objective of this study was to analyze the relationship between distance, time, and productivity of skidding operation by crawler tractor and take place at Compartment 65 and 66 Pasoh Forest Reserve, Jelebu, Peninsular Malaysia. Thus, in this study, the distribution of work elements on time consumption shows that skidding seems to consume more time compared to other processes, since crawler tractor workers manually do the work. As a result, the average volume per trip, productivity, and time for skidding using a crawler tractor at the initial skidding area close to the landing are 27.74 m3, 54.65 m3, and 13.5 minutes, respectively. The total distance travelled by the crawler tractor to handle the load also influenced the efficiency of time and consequently affected the rate of productivity. The harvesting operation in Pasoh Forest Jelebu, Negeri Sembilan, Peninsular Malaysia is still well managed to produce timber products, and the skidding operation in this site is efficient and productive. As the suggestion, more study need to be conducted in vary in term of distances, times, and volumes, and in various conditions representing the timber skidding operation in this area.
