Abstract
Since land resource database development in 1987/1988, a large amount of digital data in spatial, tabular and metadata format has been collected and generated. There are some application softwares of soil database to manage such a large amount of data, i.e.: Side & Horizon (SHDE4), Soil Sample Analysis (SSA), and Land Unit in dbf file, while Site and Horizon is in DataEase formats. The database contains soil physics and chemical property data of each soil horizon from surface to effective soil depth, climate, land surface condi- tions, and other parameters required for soil classification. Currently, database management software for land resources is still based on DOS and is stand alone. The system is not efficient and effectively used as Agri- cultural Land Resource Information System. At present, as a key component of this system requires review and development of new database software is compatible with the development of information technology. This paper explains about development of interactive agricultural land resources information system for op- timizing land resources data utilization. Hopefully, the software can give contributions in national Agricul- tural Land Resources System Information development for supporting food security.

Migration of those tailored software for land resource database management needs to be done to optimize the utilization of land resources data
Summary
Indonesian soil data collection and mapping have been carried out since around 106 years ago. While the Site and Horizon as soil computerized database designed to store and retrieve the pedon data results of the Land Resources Evaluation and Planning (LREP) I Project activities [3]. These softwares are always being improved so that in 1995 created the latest version with the name SHDE4 [4], which is a software package that linked database management system with DataEase [5]. It is relevant to GIS software platform This database software is a tool for resource data processing and management that support the making of soil or land unit map. This paper explains software development of agricultural land resources information management of ICALRD to support the utilization of land resources information
