Cianjur Regency is one of the potential areas for developing aquaculture. The largest part of total fish production comes from the floating net cages ("Keramba Jaring Apung"-KJA) Cirata Dam. Recently, the quality of the Cirata Dam has been and being degraded. Therefore, freshwater fishpond can become an alternative development. This study was aimed to identify suitable sites for freshwater ponds. Land suitability was analyzed using Geographic Information System (GIS) and Multi-criteria Evaluation (MCE) methods. The analysis result shows that the suitable land for freshwater ponds was 86,511 ha or 23.89% of the total region. Of such suitable land, the available land for freshwater ponds was 74,062 ha (20.46%), while that not available was 12,449 ha (3.44%). The resuts indicate that freshwater fishpond development is still possible to be done in Cianjur regency.
