Abstract
Sungai Jelayan Village is one of the villages in Kendawangan District, Ketapang Regency, which still has the potential for sustainable management. Evaluation of land capability is one of the efforts to overcome the reduction of land degradation. Land capability is an assessment of land units for particular uses, assessed from each inhibiting factor. This study aimed to determine the characteristics of the land according to the land capability parameter, assessed the land capability sub-class, and provided suggestions for land use based on the land capability sub-class in Sungai Jelayan Village. The research stages started from preparation, preliminary survey, determination of research location based on land units consisting of soil type, slope class, land use and there were 9 land units, and determination of observation points, as well as field observations and soil sampling, laboratory analysis, data processing and presentation of results. The results obtained 2 soil orders, namely Entisols and Inceptisols. The results of the land capability evaluation were divided into five land capability classes and sub-classes, namely class II-s, III-s, IV-w, V-w, and VIII-es. Improvement efforts or efforts to use land sustainably could be carried out in 5 ways, namely intensive cultivation, moderate cultivation, limited cultivation, nature reserves/protected forests, and intensive grazing.

Summary
Kemampuan lahan merupakan pencerminan kapasitas fisik lingkungan yang dicerminkan oleh keadaan topografi, tanah, hidrologi, dan iklim, serta dinamika yang terjadi khususnya erosi, banjir dan lainnya. Kombinasi karakter sifat fisik statis dan dinamik dipakai untuk menentukan kelas kemampuan lahan, yang dibagi menjadi 8 kelas. Berdasarkan data produksi tanaman perkebunan Kecamatan Kendawangan jumlah produksi pada tahun 2016 sebanyak 549.000 ton karet, 50.327.00 ton kelapa sawit dan 666 ton padi ladang tegalan Salah satu potensi yang dimiliki Desa Sungai Jelayan adalah potensi tanaman tahunan yang mendominasi sehingga menjadi mata pencarian utama oleh masyarakat Desa Sungai Jelayan, dengan komoditas tanaman kelapa sawit, tanaman karet dan ladang tegalan. Desa Sungai Jelayan memiliki variabilitas lereng, dari kelas lereng yang datar 0-3%, berombak/landai 38%, bergelombang/agak miring 8-15%, curam 45-65%, >65% hingga sangat curam, dapat dilihat pada tabel 2 Tujuan penelitian ini mengetahui karakteristik lahan sesuai parameter kemampuan lahan serta menilai sub kelas kemampuan lahan dan memberikan saran penggunaan lahan berdasarkan sub kelas kemampuan lahan
