| dc.description.abstract | Conservation of natural resources and ecosystems based on preservation and capabilities. Conservation also
means the use of natural resourcesand ecosystems in aharmonious and balanced. The principle is thefoundation
for achieving the goal, which is seeking the realization of conservation of natural resources and ecosystem in
order to support the improvement of welfare and quality of human life. Research purposes, among others: (1)
identifying and determining the relationship between environmental capacity with spaceutilization changes in
East Java, (2) identifying and determining the relationship between environmental capacity in the conservation
of natural resources with the location of human activities (in the context of social, economic, culture), and (3)
creating aspatial model of environmental capacity in an effort to conserve natural resources in East Java,and (4)
providing policy advice related to the conservation of natural resourcesin East Java. Type of researchused in this
activity were supported by quantitative researchand qualitative research.Location of study include (1) Malang
Regency, (2) Pasuruan Regency, (3) Mojokerto Regency, and (4) Jombang Regency. The samples were selected
by purposive sampling, i.e. males/ female in eachvillage at the sites. As for determining the number of samples
was done by using simple sampling method or Slavin methods, where at each location were taken 100 people,
local communities to serve as respondents. The data collection technique using a combination of primary date
and secondary data. Data analysis techniques used include quantitative descriptive statistical analysis, facto
analysis, and spatial analysis. The results of the analysis conducted in 2010 showed that the largestforest are
locatedin Malang Regency, covering ~n areaof 796.44 km', followed by Kediri Regency and Jombang Regenc:
with an areaof284.69 km2 and 195.60 km' respectively. This pattern also applies to land use Rice Irrigation an:

conclusion obtained afact there is a link between environmental capacity with changes in the spaceutilization 1
Forest Park with indicators of rainfall and water discharge annual averagefor 20 years (R2 = 0.52). There is
sufficient connection between environmental capacity in the conservation of natural resourceswith the locati
of human activities in the socio-economic context (landuse-income, R2 = 0.63) and lower linkages related socio-cultural
(landuse-leoel education, R2 = 0.58 and landuse ofjobs, R2 = 0.42). | en_US |
