| Summary: | This research was conducted by utilizing SPOT 5 image (Systeme de
I'Observation Probatoire de la Terre) and Geographic Information System to
asses the suitability of shrimp farm biophysical characteristics of land in Bombana
Regency, Southeast Sulawesi Province. The main purpose of research is to know
the ability of SPOT 5 image to extract parameters of shrimp farm suitability,
assess the land suitability of shrimp farm biophysical characteristics with the use
of geographic information systems (GIS), and recommended direction of the land
use function based management of shrimp farm.
The way of research was conducted with image processing and spatial
modeling of Geographic Information Systems. The image processing technique
consists of image enhance for interpretation of landforms, maximum likelihood
classification for land use interpretation, and image transformation to know the
suspended load distribution. The Geographic Information System was utilized to
analyze the interpretation results and image transformation and field data using
matching arithmethic method by making overlay several maps into biophysical
characteristic for land suitability of shrimp farm.
The SPOT 5 image has the ability to extract biophysical parameters for
land suitability of shrimp farm. The overall accuracies of land use interpretation
reaches 89%. This suggests that the ability of SPOT 5 image for land use
interpretation and the ability of interpreters in good categories. The results showed
that the criteria for shrimp farm in coastal land Bombana Regency appropriate
(S1) occupies an area of 6952.52 hectares or 32.79%, according to class rather
occupies an area of 3.679.72 hectares or 17.35%, and class are not according to
occupy an area of 10,574.91 hectares or 49.86% from the research area. The
recommended land use direction is area of shrimp farm cultivation that takes into
account the sustainability aspects of aquaculture and not make changes for the
built land.
