| Summary: | Indonesia as an agricultural country, has a huge potential of land
resources. Productive land is used to cultivate various agricultural and plantation
commodities. Tobacco is one of the commodities that is widely cultivated in
Indonesia and has a high economic value. Tobacco cultivation should be done
with attention to aspects of land preservation. Planting on land that is not suitable,
in the long term will result in decreased quality of land or land degradation.
Departing from this, land suitability analysis is required for tobacco plantations by
focusing on land preservation, namely Erosion potential (TBE)
Land suitability analysis for the present study, carried out by the method
of SIG Multi Criteria Analysis (MCA). The output of this method is a
probabilistic analysis of land suitability by analyzing the correlation or
relationship between the existing condition (productivity) with a characteristic
constituent physical condition of land
The purpose of this study is (1) mapping existing condition (productivity)
tobacco, (2) Mapping the research areas of land characteristics, (3) Mapping of
erosion potential research areas, (4) determine the correlation between the level of
productivity of a tobacco plantation to the characteristics of land and of erosion
potential, and (5) Mapping the suitability of land for tobacco plantations with
Multi Criteria Analysis (MCA)
With MCA, 29.25% of land area in the district of Temanggung is a very
suitable land for tobacco plantations (S1), 20, 42% is quite appropriate, 41.56%
marginally suitable (S3), 7.14% is not suitable (N1), and the remaining 1.62% was
incompatible (N2).
