Mapping spatial patterns in Tinondo Swamp, East Kolaka Regency to increase land productivity

Abstract

The development of land use activities in the Tinondo Swamp promotes the acceleration of spatial planning to ensure sustainability. This research aimed to evaluate land use in Tinondo Swamp and to provide alternative areas in the spatial plan of the east Kolaka regency. Primary and secondary data were collected using survey methods. The research used qualitative and quantitative methods to analyze the deepening and scanning of autopilot aircraft, the environmental carrying capacity, linkages and existence of linkages with the community, the needs of facilities and infrastructure, and spatial analysis. The results showed that the survey area of the Tinondo Swamp was 5,699.41 hectares, consisting of 11 land-use types. There are swamps with an area of 1,999.34 hectares (35.08%), settlements of 133.41 hectares (2.34%), the company’s Base Camp of 0.94 acres, the forest of 104.65 hectares (1.84%), swamp forests of 178.02 hectares (3.12%), roads of 26.22 hectares (0.46%), canals of 51.59 hectares (0.91%), mixed gardens of 489.88 hectares (8.60%), oil palm plantations of 1,178,298 hectares (20.67%), rice fields of 1,536,096 hectares (26.95%), and open land of 0.96 hectares. Furthermore, the total survey area that is available and planned for was 1,999.34 hectares.
