dc.description.abstract | Indonesia's population in 2021 will increase by 0.92% from 2020.
The increasing population demands the fulfillment of food. Land
changes and their consequences indicate land damage. The
purpose of the study was to assess the soil damage potential
index (SDPI) on the slopes of Mount Argopura through terrain
analysis and the use of geographic information system
technology. The research was carried out on the slopes of Mount
Argopura in 2022. The tools used included a clinometer, a GPS,
spectrophotometer, AAS, arc GIS 13 and minitab. The materials
included administrative maps, soil maps, slope maps, RBI maps,
land use maps, rainfall maps. This research is descriptive
exploratory with field survey method. The activity is divided into
3 stages, namely pre-survey, field survey, and post-survey.
Research parameters include texture, soil thickness, soil type, soil
pH, CEC, base saturation, soil drainage, parent material,
landform, relief, rainfall, and land use. Based on the results of
the study, the SDPI with an area of 22,148.75 ha was in the
heavy category 44.12% (9772.28 ha), the medium category was
53.11% (11762.84 ha), and the light category was 2.77% (613.63
ha). | en_US |
