Studi Kesesuaian Lahan untuk Penentuan Kawasan Lindung di Hutan Lindung Konak Kabupaten Kepahiang Provinsi Bengkulu
Abstract: The study aims to
determine land suitability of the area into a forest protection by using field
physical factors i.e. rainfall intensity, soil type, slope, and altitude. The
research is conducted in Konak Forest Protection, Kepahiang, Bengkulu. Basic
method used in this research was survey, with sampling and measurement in the
field. The results shows the average value of forest protected areas: slope is
0-8% with value of 20, the type of land is podsolic (sensitive to erosion) with
value of 60, and rainfall intensity is under 13.6 mm per day, with value of 10,
and altitude is 500 meters above sea level. The total value of the factors is
90, far below the standard value of the protected forest which should be more
than 174. This means that utilization for other functions, such as recreation
area, city garden or land cultivation, will be more appropriate and useful than
if only defined as forests protection.
