Land Development Recommendation of Bunguran Island as One of the National Border Areas Based on Level of Land Suitability and Land Capability

Abstract

According to PP no 26 of 2008 concerning National Spatial Planning documents, Bunguran Island as national border areas must be monitored and regulated as the front yard of Indonesia. This study used analytical method based on matching between land suitability criteria and land quality data that considered the most severe factors. Data were being analyzed by the criteria of land capability using the classification by The Ministry of Public Works Regulation (20/PRT/M/2007). The results obtained the form of land capability classes in Bunguran Island, which in turn resulted in land capability as the reference in determining land use directives. The direction of land capability was analyzed based on the results of land capability compared to the land use conditions that can be used as a basis for recommendations or directives for land use in Bunguran Island. The parameters used in the classification of land capabilities are slope, drainage conditions, soil permeability, soil type, texture of soil depth, and erosion data. The descriptive analysis process by data parameters were carried out according to the classification of land capabilities. The result of this research was used to compose spatial pattern planning of Bunguran Island based on the land suitability and land capability.
