Due to the great variety of land resources in Indonesia, there is a wide range of levels of land appropriateness for various commodities. In order to provide the most physically feasible cultivation pattern and the greatest possible economic results, a land plan is required. This study aims to determine the suitability level of cocoa plantations in the Takapala Watershed (Jeneberang Subwatershed) using a geographic information system (GIS) method with overlays of slope maps, geomorphological maps, soil type maps, and land use maps. According to the analysis's findings, the Takapala watershed's area is suitable for growing cocoa (Jeneberang Subwatershed). Obtaining five land suitability sub-classes, including S2 extremely appropriate (with a 93.94 ha area), S3-W1 (marginally suitable class with a factor of 0.8), and S4-W1 (not at all suitable class) as a limiting factor for rainfall 1022.33 Ha with marginally suitable class. There is very good potential for cocoa plant growth in the Takapala Watershed, where the land adaptability level can reach 69.6%. This demonstrates that cocoa trees can develop into crops that can be grown in the Takapala watershed. On the one hand, the Takapala Watershed's topography will present a barrier to cacao development, needing specific approaches to cacao production. Future research should, it is anticipated, look into how cocoa plants should be managed in environments with steep-to-steep slopes.

Tujuan penelitian ini untuk merancang kewirausahaan suatu usaha pertambangan sumber daya mineral pasir kuarsa yang berwawasan lingkungan. Lokasi penelitian di daerah Kading Kecamatan Tanete Riaja. Penelitian dilakukan dengan cara survey dan pemetaan. Pembangunan usaha pertambangan yang berwawasan lingkungan  mensyaratkan adanya pengelolaan sumber daya yang bijaksana. Di sisi lain usaha pertambangan  tersebut memberikan resiko terhadap kerusakan lingkungan. Olehnya tindakan pengendalian lingkungan adalah upaya yang harus diperhitungkan dalam perencanaan pertambangan yang berwawasan lingkungan. Berdasakan hasil penelitian endapan pasir kuarsa yang terdapat di daerah penelitian menunjukkan kadar SiO2 = (85 – 90) %,  sehingga dapat digunakan sebagai bahan baku pembuatan semen di Pabrik Semen Bosowa dan Pabrik Semen Tonasa.  Pasir kuarsa tersebut menyebar pada daerah seluas 30 ha, mempunyai cadangan terukur  5.175.000 ton,  mining recovery 90 % sehingga cadangan layak tambang  adalah 4.657.500 ton. Penambangan yang cocok diterapkan di wilayah penelitian adalah tambang terbuka dengan system teras-teras, penggalian dilakukan dengan metode back filling. Peralatan tambang yang diperlukan adalah excavator dan dump truck. Rencana produksi 120.000 ton/tahun, sehingga umur tambang 38,81 tahun.  Rencana pemasaran PT Semen Tonasa Pangkep dan PT Semen Bosowa Maros untuk bahan baku pengoreksi industri semen, harga jual Rp 100.000 per ton logo gudang pabrik semen.

Geoelectric measurements to detect the presence of groundwater aquifers in the study area by knowing the type of lithology, distribution, thickness, and depth of rock layers carrying groundwater (aquifer), both vertically and laterally. The research objective is to determine the location for drilling, if later in the study area, the groundwater potential maximally utilized. In this study, the linear symmetry electrode arrangement, the Schlumberger configuration method, is used. Data collection in the field done by using a resistivity meter. The number of geoelectric points is 12 measurement points, but in the article, four geoelectric points will be discussed that can represent all the geoelectric points that contain high aquifers. The results obtained from the geoelectric measurements carried out show a shallow groundwater layer at a depth of 5.0 - 15.0 meters with an aquifer layer in the form of sandy clay (lateral weathering). Freshwater in freshwater at a depth of 25 - 150 meters following the geoelectric point of estimation with layers of sandstone aquifer and tuffaceous clay. Shallow groundwater is fresh with small productivity can be anointed with dug wells at a depth of 5 - 15 meters potential at all geoelectric points with a discharge of 1 liter/second. Then deep groundwater is of average productivity with a well drilled at a depth of 25 – 150 meters, potentially at a specific geoelectric point with a discharge of 1 – 5 liters/second.
