| dc.description.abstract | Abstract. In term of ecologically and economically, a coastal area which has
different spatial characteristics according to the land conditions has high potency
to be developed as it has physical and geographic advantages that can be utilized
as the center of community activities. The development in the livestock sector
requires a database including geospatial information and statistic data as the
reference in the decision-making of livestock development area as not all areas
are potential. The livestock in the coastal area in East Kalimantan Province has
the potency to be developed into a livestock development area as it has been
supported by the availability of land and feed sources. Besides agricultural areas,
the land ecosystem which is located in the coastal areas can also be utilized by
communities to rear livestock such as beef cattle, buffalo, sheep, and goats.
Livestock breeding in this location can role as an income substitution for
communities and could be an alternative livelihood for fishermen who can not
go fishing due to bad weather and high waves. That pattern is expected to become
a new activity concept that can improve communities’ income and welfare to be
more independent and productive | en_US |
