Abstract

The increasing population in Probolinggo, East Java, Indonesia require residential land. Excessive use of housing land reduces agricultural lands will impact environmental changes surrounding area. Limitations of use of agricultural land due to the construction of housing in need of good quality soil in increasing food production. This study aims to determine the value of the damage of Land For Biomass Production to reduce the environmental changes surrounding area. The method used in the form of land damage mapping biomass production. Variable ground damage assessment status of each parameter is done by weighting and scoring methods. The results showed that the status of land degradation in the District Paiton is the status of damaged land with an area of 3922.74 hectares of land and/or land for biomass production with an area of 147,234.60 hectares, or approximately 2.66% of the total area of the District Paiton. The area of a degraded land category is at the Village Bhinor, Jabung comb, middle Alas, Kalijajar wetan and Plampang.

Highlights

  • The total area of ProbolinggoSub districtis approximately 1696.16km2consisting 147,74km2 of settlements, 373.13 km2 of Rice Field, 513.80 km2 of moor, 32,81km2 of plantation, 426.46 km2 of forest, 13.99 km2 of pond/pool, and 188.23 km2 of other utilization [1]

  • Measurement procedure for the of standard criteria of damaged land for biomass production is structured to explain steps to be performed by the regent/mayor related to monitoring and surveillance

  • The following conclusion is drawn from the research: 1. Land that qualify as critical in accordance observations indicated low quality of land as a result of intensive land cultivation, low attention onpost-harvest handling regarding soil fertility level and continuousland use

Summary

Introduction

The total area of ProbolinggoSub districtis approximately 1696.16km2consisting 147,74km of settlements, 373.13 km of Rice Field, 513.80 km of moor, 32,81km of plantation, 426.46 km of forest, 13.99 km of pond/pool, and 188.23 km of other utilization [1]. Terrestrial environment with its high environmental or natural resources leads a lot of human activity. Many areas of land have experienceddegradation; one of which is due to soil erosion as a result of high rainfall, low vegetation covered-land, conversion of land from forests to agricultural crops, steepland utilization and misused of land can cause erosion, sedimentation and siltation of river. River water flow decrease and cause flooding and degradation of soil fertility which in turn decrease agricultural production and eventually farmers' income. Control of terrestrial environment damage can be grouped with preventive and reactive approaches. Preventive approach is performed through consistent spatial planning and appropriate space management and the use of environmentally friendly technologies. Measurement procedure for the of standard criteria of damaged land for biomass production is structured to explain steps to be performed by the regent/mayor related to monitoring and surveillance
