The study examined the determinants of adaptation to deforestation among farmers in Madagali Local Government Area of Adamawa state, Nigeria. Structured interview schedule were used to obtain information from 200 respondents selected through simple random sampling techniques. The data collected were analyzed using descriptive (frequencies and percentages) and inferential (chi -square test) statistics. The result indicated that majority (84%) of the respondents were male with 21-40 years of age representing 58.50%. The study also showed that most (45%) of the respondents had attained post primary education with majority (80%) having 6 and above years of farming experience. The respondents perceived fuel wood extraction as the major (42%) cause of deforestation in the study area. The result showed that the most (30.50%) frequently employed adaptation strategy against deforestation was reducing quantity of fire wood consumption. The study further showed that the factors which significantly influenced adaptation to deforestation among the respondents were age, farming experience and educational status with X 2 =9.216, 8.697 and 11.238 at P<0.05 respectively. While those factors which did not influence adaptation to deforestation among the respondents were gender, access to agricultural credit and access to extension services with X 2 =1.286, 7.923 and 5.862 at P<0.05 respectively. The major constraints faced by respondents in adaptation to deforestation were lack of capital and lack of accessible alternative energy. The study recommends that awareness campaign should be mounted to increase the level of knowledge of respondents on the significance of adaptation to deforestation. Respondents should also be encouraged towards establishment of adaptation cooperative societies in order to take advantage of some government policies and programmes.

ABSTRAKKekayaan perairan laut Indonesia merupakan potensi yang sangat besar dalam meningkatkan pembangunan dan perekonomian masyarakat Indonesia. Wilayah pesisir selatan Lombok Timur merupakan asset daerah yang dapat meningkatkan pendapatan daerah jika dikelola dengan baik sesuai dengan potensi masing-masing wilayah berdasarkan parameter-parameter lingkungannya. Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk memetakan potensi sumberdaya wilayah pesisir selatan Lombok Timur sebagai daerah budidaya rumput laut dan budidaya air payau. Pengambilan data lapangan dilakukan di sekitar perairan selatan kabupaten Lombok Timur yang dilanjutkan dengan analisis sampel dan pengolahan data spasial dengan aplikasi Sistem Informasi Geografis yang terbagi dalam beberapa kelas kesesuaian. Pengolahan data spasial dilakukan dengan bantuan software Surfer 8.0 dan Arc-View 3.3. Hasil analisis data menunjukkan bahwa kesesuaian wilayah pesisir selatan Lombok Timur untuk kegiatan budidaya air payau memiliki tingkat yang berbeda-beda sesuai dengan karakteristik parameter lingkungannya. Tingkat kesesuaian lahan untuk lahan untuk budidaya air payau terdiri dari 4 kategori yaitu Sangat Sesuai (S1), Sesuai (S2), Cukup Sesuai (S3) dan Tidak Sesuai (N). Hasil penelitian dapat dijadikan sebagai data base perencanaan tata ruang wilayah pesisir dan laut di sekitar pesisir selatan Lombok Timur.
