Calculation Methods of Topographic Factors Modification Using Data Digital Elevation Model (DEM) To Predict Erosion
Get PDFErosion is a crucial information for sustainable management of land resources within a particular watershed. The information of erosion is needed for land resource management planning, and is generally counted by USLE (Universal Soil Loss Equation). One of the parameters in USLE is topographic factor (LS). The determinations of LS in erosion estimation model are vary, both in terms of LS factor equation, as well as in terms of the length of the slope (λ) and slope (s) measurements. There are at least 3 methods used to calculate slope factors in spatial operation, i.e (1) Input of the LS Value from Table (INT), (2) Flow accumulation, and (3) Cell Size. The study was designed to obtain a method of calculation that gives the smallest topographic factor and in order to obtain a LS factors that similar to the slope information. Research location in Kampa Sub watershed, The LS determination in Kampa Sub watershed basically are with (INT) and without calculating λ and s. INT method is determination without calculating λ and s, LS value is generate from the contour map and DEM SRTM by giving LS value from table reference of LS value. The Flow Accumulation and Cell Size are determination of LS Value by calculating λ and s. The Flow Accumulation method modifies the determination of λ and s using the middle value of s, λ per land use, and λ and s per cell. Cell Size method determines λ using the amount of cell size. The results showed that the “cell size” and "INT" methods were the best method for topographic factor (LS) calculation, because LS value of “cell size” and "INT" methods are smaller than the flow accumulation method and the LS value similar to the slope information. LS value from that methods generated weighted value in average of 0,55−0,58. Keywords: cell size, flow accumulation, flow direction, the length of the slope, USL

IDENTIFIKASI FAKTOR SEBARAN MACAN DAHAN (Neofelis diardi Cuvier, 1823) DI EKOSISTEM RAWA GAMBUT, TAMAN NASIONAL SEBANGAU
Get PDFThe Sunda clouded leopard (Neofelis diardi Cuvier, 1823) is the largest predator and the keystone species on Borneo Island. Therefore, the existence of N. diardi is very important to maintain the stability and healthy of ecosystems in Kalimantan Forest. Sebangau National Park (SNP), Central Kalimantan Province is one of the important habitats for this species because it is formed by peat swamp ecosystem and it has function to maintain the balance of the global climate. Data of the distribution factors of N. diardi were expected to used for monitoring and inventorying of population this species, especially in SNP. Data collection was conducted from June until November 2014 through methods of 12 track-sets; 9 units camera traps; and signs of animal presence likely footprints, feces, claws, scratches, scrapes, and vocalizations in 2 grids, each size 6 x 6 km2. This study results show that the distribution of N. diardi is affected by five factors namely, the distance from water source (P = 0,002); the distance from the potential of disturbance (P = 0,017); forest canopy density (P= 0,04); peat depth (P = 0,002); and habitat types in the SNP (P = 0,011). Only the altitude factor does not affect the distribution of N. diardi (P = 0,064) at SNP. Furthermore, this study also indicates that the presence and abundance of animal preys as another factor affecting the distribution of N. diardi at SNP. This condition is caused by the tendency of N. diardi encounter in a RAI values of animal preys on medium-grade (9,38; 10,53) and high (14,52; 18,60; 18,60). Finally, this study also demonstrates that the existence of N. diardi can be considered as an indicator species for forest in good condition.

The Analysis of Ecotourism Laws and Policies in Indonesia
Get PDFThis study aimed to analyze the chain posture, substantial content and time span of ecotourism laws and policies in Indonesia. The instrumentused in this research was closed ended questionare, which was then analyzed using One Score One Criteria System. In various criteria, the subtantialcontent of all ecotourism laws and policies in Indonesia showed a score of 5 or a rather good meaning. This non-optimal value can be said to have noclarity of comprehensive and structured objectives so that the dynamics of the substantial content in the law is still partial. Above that, it must beunderstood that ecotourism should not be interpreted as a journey to the natural in remote area only, but it must be enforced in every space oftourism destinations. Based on the research results on the legislation documents including (Laws, Government Regulations, Presidential Regulations,Presidential Decrees, Ministerial Regulations) it was found that between mandatory rules and implementing regulations were not set within a periodof about 2 years accordingly. Therefore, it is necessary for the integration of stakeholders to revise the various ecotourism laws and policies inIndonesia comprehensively, systematically and objectively so that in the dynamics of its implementation can optimize the seven pillars of ecotourismdevelopment.Keywords: analysis, criteria, law and policy
