Analysis of the relationship of land carrying capacity and building area towards the development of Kualanamu International Airport in 2010 and 2017

Abstract

Land resources availability has been declining due to the rapid development of the industrial, residential, and even tourism sectors in all regions, including Batang Kuis Subdistrict, Deli Serdang Regency of North Sumatra Province. The declining of land resources in Batang Kuis Subdistrict has a strong relationship with the factors causing rapid and dynamic development of Kualanamu Airport located at the east side of the sub-district. Regional development causes land conversion and urban development that impacts on carrying capacity of the land. Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine the relationship between land use and land carrying capacity of Batang Kuis Subdistrict in 2010 and 2017. Data used for this study consisted of primary data by Google Earth satellite imagery of Batang Kuis Subdistrict and secondary data of population and area per village in 2010 and 2017. The analysis used for this study was a quantitative analysis by calculating Land Carrying Capacity (LCC) and spatial analysis by mapping the land area that has been developed in two years with a unit of analysis at the village. Results obtained from this study were land carrying capacity table and the land area maps of Batang Kuis Subdistrict for 2010 and 2017. The highest value of land consumption per capita referring to Yeates dan Garner standard was observed at Sena, Sidodadi, and Mesjid Villages in 2010 and 2017. The main factor is easy accessibility since the development of Kualanamu Airport.

Assessing the effects of gold mining on environment: A case study of Shekiso district, Guji zone, Ethiopia

“…According to the key informants, the main factors that determined the degradation of mining land in the study area were: lack of local community involvement in land management practices, lack of environmental rules and regulations, difficulties in recording small and large scale mining activity, lack of environmental education, etc. This finding is confirmed by Christianawati et al. (2020) whose study revealed that there were no nationally recognized standards for institutions for mining regulatory frameworks.…”

Analysis of carrying capacity in Jambi Province

“…The carrying capacity is the capability of agricultural land to be able to support the food needs of the population of a region. Carrying capacity is also a description of the conditions between population, area of agricultural land and the surrounding environment and can estimate the need for agricultural land that is able to provide sufficient food for each resident in a certain period [5]. The fulfillment of sufficient food for each individual is also known as food security.…”
