Abstract

The geographical conditions of Moa Lakor District, Southwest Maluku Regency, located within the Ring of Fire, with relatively flat topography and high population density in coastal areas, make Moa Lakor District highly susceptible to tsunami disasters in Maluku Province. This study aims to map the physical conditions of the region in an effort to mitigate tsunami disasters in Moa Lakor District, Southwest Maluku Regency, Maluku Province. The physical condition data used in this study include land elevation, slope gradient, and distance from the coast. These three variables were assigned scores and weights, which were then overlaid to produce a tsunami hazard map and identify affected built-up areas. The results indicate that the high tsunami hazard class covers 65.35% of the area, totaling 23,534.71 hectares. The medium hazard class covers 7,852.43 hectares or 21.80%, and the low hazard class covers 4,627.39 hectares or 12.85%. The built-up land predicted to be in the high hazard zone covers 738.33 hectares, in the medium hazard zone covers 162.98 hectares, and in the low hazard zone covers 56.52 hectares.

Abstract

Sustainable land use planning requires the processing of spatial data to obtain accurate information about environmental conditions and the potential of available land. Spatial data is used at various stages of planning, from natural resource inventory, land use scenario development, impact evaluation, and decision-making of monitoring and assessment. However, the availability of adequate and high-quality spatial data remains a challenge in sustainable land use planning. Therefore, efforts are needed to improve access to and availability of spatial data, as well as to develop methods and technologies that can support the processing and analysis of spatial data. By optimally utilizing spatial data, sustainable land use planning can consider various aspects, such as environmental sustainability, socio-economic sustainability, and long-term benefits and public interests. This approach is expected to create sustainable land use, serving both current and future needs.

Abstract

Maluku is one of Indonesia's archipelagic provinces, consisting of small islands with a vast potential for marine tourism, including beautiful beach destinations. The purpose of this study is to create a site plan for the development of a beach tourism area and to analyze the impact of this development on land use. The general method used is a survey method, which includes comparative studies, interviews, and the establishment of landscape design criteria. The design method employed is based on the approach proposed by Michael Laurie, which involves three stages: site identification, site analysis, and detailed landscape design. The landscape design for the Hukurila Beach Tourism Object is viewed as part of preserving the community's social and cultural values. It embodies local customs and wisdom while maximizing surrounding resources as building materials that reflect the unique characteristics of local architecture and the natural landscape. The steep and sloping location is suitable for the development of various types of orchid cultivation, adapted to their growing conditions on soil, rocks, or trees, including Epiphytic Orchids, Terrestrial Orchids, Saprophytic Orchids, Amoebophytic Orchids, and Lithophytic Orchids.

Abstract

Soil formation is the result of interactions between various processes, including geomorphological and pedological processes, where the soil body must be seen as a dynamic medium. Soil development is determined by soil formation factors, namely climate, topography, organisms, parent material, and time. In the process of soil formation, soil formation factors interact in the form of physical, chemical, and biological processes. The physical properties of the soil consist of soil color, soil texture, soil structure, soil consistency, soil pores, aggregates, coarse materials, mineral modules, and root conditions. The chemical properties of the soil include Base Saturation (BS), Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC), pH, Organic Carbon, and CaCO3 content. Meanwhile, the biological aspect of the soil consists of organism activities within the soil. The purpose of this study is: 1) to classify soil properties or group soils into specific classes based on their similar characteristics and features, including physical, chemical, and biological properties in the field; 2) to determine the soil type names based on the Technical Guidelines for National Soil Classification (BP3KP, 2014) and Soil Taxonomy Classification (USDA 2015) criteria. The method used is a survey method with a transect approach pattern and observation of pit profile types. The research results indicate that the soil type formed in the research location according to the criteria of the Technical Guidelines for National Soil Classification (BP3KP, 2014) is the Kambisol soil type. Approaching the Soil Taxonomy Classification (USDA 2015), this soil is included in the Inceptisol order, Tropept suborder, and Dystropept Great Group.
