Abstract
The construction of the Cisokan Reservoir caused residents who previously lived and carried out activities around the land that would be inundated to have to move to another place. Based on the Land Acquisition and Relocation report, 10 locations were selected and already occupied by residents affected by the construction of the Cisokan Reservoir to be used as new residential land. An increase in the population of a space in a certain period of time is accompanied by an increase in the need for land, especially for housing needs. In an agrarian society, land is also needed for a production function. Land use for settlements must be regulated by taking into account ecological aspects so as not to cause problems and disasters in the future. With the Geographical Information System approach with the spatial scoring technique, the final results obtained at the research location were 3 land suitability classes, namely S1, S2, and S3 classes. The land suitability class N was not found in the study area. Meanwhile, for the resettlement locations of residents affected by the construction of the Cisokan reservoir from the 10 locations, all locations are in areas with land suitability class S2.
Highlights
Planning for the development of the Cisokan Reservoir, which is located in two districts in West Java Province, namely Cianjur Regency and West Bandung Regency, aims to produce electrical energy by utilizing water resources
In the construction process of the Cisokan Reservoir itself, the land affected by the development project covers an area of 360,819 hectares, mostly agricultural land consisting of rice fields (189.74 hectares), yards (120.33 hectares), and a total of 1,035 building units affected with an area of around 50.749, 4 m2 [8]
The land cover map in the study area was obtained through the on-screen digitization method approach from high volume google earth images recorded on August 28, 2013, or a year before the relocation process was carried out by residents affected by the construction of the Cisokan reservoir
Summary
Planning for the development of the Cisokan Reservoir, which is located in two districts in West Java Province, namely Cianjur Regency and West Bandung Regency, aims to produce electrical energy by utilizing water resources. The need for population growth, apart from land reservoir development, is needed for the process of moving people affected by land acquisition through development. Under these conditions the pressure on land residents increases. The results of this study are expected to be a source of information about the suitability of land for new settlements and become a source of fundamental data in the development process, especially the construction of reservoirs so as not to cause problems and disasters in the future in accordance with Indonesian government policy, namely Law Number 1 of 2011 concerning Housing. It is a basis for improving environmental management and a strategic environmental study for sustainable development, especially in planning for habitable settlements
