“…The challenge of sustainable management of natural resources is how to maintain a balance between meeting the needs of human life and the sustainable use of natural resources and environmental services for humans. The sustainable use of natural resources is a process to create sustainable use and preservation of natural resources, the direction of investment in the use of natural resources and institutional changes related to the utilization and preservation of natural resources are consistent with current and future utilization targets [1,2]. Natural resources in the context of land are basically limited in terms of area and productivity [3,4].…”

Land needs for the development of the agricultural sector in East Tidore Subdistrict always increase along with the increasing population. Lack of understanding of land characteristics causes agricultural development is not based on the ability and carrying capacity of land. This can be seen from the increasingly widespread development of agriculture on steeply sloped forest lands (>45%) that have the potential to cause land damage. In order that that land can be used in an optimal, continual and sustainable manner, planning of land use is needed based on the capability and carrying capacity of the land. This research aims to evaluate the suitability of land use, determine the status of carrying capacity of land and determine the direction of land use based on the ability and carrying capacity of the environment in East Tidore Subdistrict. This research uses an analytical approach with free survey observation distance (free survey) combined with transects and boring observation types and pit profiles. The results of the research obtained six land capability classes in East Tidore Subdistrict, namely class III covering 650.2 ha (21.5%), class IV covering 1,060.8 ha (35.1%), class V covering 47.2 ha (1.6%), class VI covering 454.1 ha (15.0%), class VII covering 325.7 ha (10.8%) and class VIII covering 481.2 ha (15.9%). Land capability classes suitable for agricultural development (classes III and IV) are 1,711.0 ha (56.7%) and inappropriate (classes V, VI, VII and VIII) are 1,308.2 ha (43.3%). The use of existing agricultural plantations/mixed estates that are in accordance with the capability of land (class III and IV) covering 1,176.4 ha (39.0%) and not suitable (class V, VI, VII and VIII) covering 860.1 ha (28.5%), and the use of suitable moor/land area of 24.3 ha (0.8%) and unsuitable area of 28.9 ha (1.0%). The availability of land (SL) covers an area of 2,926 ha and the need for land equivalent to rice (DL) is 6,420 ha, where the land requirement has exceeded the carrying capacity of the land contained in East Tidore Subdistrict. The direction of land use for agricultural development in the Subdistrict of East Tidore covering an area of 2,300.1 ha (76.2%) consisting of the use of moor/land area of 7.8 ha (0.3%), mixed gardens covering 1,058.7 ha (35.1%) and agroforestry covering 1,233.6 ha (40.9%).

“…utilization types, [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] It is similarly a foundation for sustainable land resource planning and management since it help us to know whether the resources are degraded or enhanced in quality or not Dumanski et al, 12 and Mohana et al 13 The major reason of land suitability evaluation prior to irrigated agriculture is to predict the potential and limitation of the land for crop production and productivity, 14 and provide information on the constraints and opportunities for the use of the land and therefore guides decisions on optimal utilizations of resources, whose knowledge is an essential prerequisite for irrigation development. Moreover, it also allows identification of the main limiting factors for the agricultural production under irrigation and enables decision makers such as land users, land use planners, and agricultural support services to develop a crop management plan to overcome such limiting factors, thus, increasing the crop production and productivity in the area.…”

Despite the growing interest in irrigated agriculture in Malinyi District in Morogoro Region, its practice in Kilosa kwa Mpepo traditional irrigation scheme remains low in production and productivity compared with medium to modern irrigated agriculture. Since construction of medium to modern irrigated agriculture is expensive, matching crop requirement with resources available through land suitability evaluation is necessary to improve production and productivity in the area. Such important study however,ha.s not been undertaken in Kilosa kwa Mpepo traditional irrigation scheme proposed for modernization. This study, evaluates the land suitability of Kilosa kwa Mpepo traditional irrigation scheme for rice (Oryza sativa L.) and maize (Zea mays L.) cropping systems using FAO maximum limitation method. After matching land qualities with land use requirements, results indicated that soil wetness, soil physical characteristics, and soil fertility status were the major limiting factors affecting land quality within the proposed irrigation scheme. Results also showed that of the total area surveyed (i.e. 1,117 Ha) 25% was rated as highly suitable (S1), 37% as moderately suitable (S2) and 37% as marginally suitable (S3) for irrigated rice based cropping systems. However, after controlling floods the highly suitable (S1) to marginally suitable (S3) land observed was to a large extent related to soil physical property, leading to inadequate capacity to retain nutrients. Similarly, results of land suitability for irrigated maize based cropping systems indicated that of the total study area, 37% was rated as highly suitable (S1) and 63% as moderately suitable (S2). The moderately suitable land in the surveyed area was related to soil physical property and poor soil fertility status (i.e. texture and low pH). Taken together, these data suggest that well-designed irrigation infrastructures along with flood protection band and drainage structures may control and or reduce the incidence of floods and waterlogging conditions in the study area. Long-term fertility management requires consideration of use of organic materials such as manure and compost. Such programs need to maximize use efficiency and minimize environmental losses. Implementation of the proposed approach to optimizing land management will reverse the suitability of land from marginally suitable to highly suitable land thus delivering a range of socio-economic and agro-environmental benefits to the farmers in Kilosa kwa Mpepo village in Malinyi District
