Deforestation Vulnerability Based Administrative Boundary and Forest Area in Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia

Abstract

Deforestation is a change in forest cover into other types of cover which is a global problem. Deforestation that occurs varies in each region. Deforestation hazard is a better behavioral conclusion or profile information about deforestation that occurs because it displays three aspects of assessment, namely the Percentage of Forest Area (PFA), the proportion of deforestation events (PDE) and the rate of deforestation (RD). Analysis of deforestation profiles in Nusa Tenggara, which consists of two provinces from 1990 to 2020. This study uses overlapping data on land cover, district administration, and Area functions for forest-non-forest analysis. Analysis of deforestation profiles based on district administration produces 15 forms of deforestation profiles. The largest profile in West Nusa Tenggara Province is the 3-1-1 profile (large percentage of low-rate events), which is a non-vulnerable category. The highest profile in East Nusa Tenggara Province is 1-3-1 (a small percentage of late events) and is a very vulnerable category. Dominant deforestation occurs outside forest areas, but if viewed from a profile perspective, all functions of the area are classified as very vulnerable in East Nusa Tenggara Province, and conservation forest areas in West Nusa Tenggara Province. This happened because the largest deforestation occurred in the end period in each function of the forest area. This is a warning for the management of forest areas in Nusa Tenggara.
