| dc.description.abstract | The development of population at the Santan watershed area over the years tends to increase, increasing the food and
settlement needs. Therefore, there is a need to balance the needs and availability of land. The study aims to determine
the potential of agricultural land by assessing land availability based on soil types and patterns of regional space. The
descriptive quantitative method based on LH Ministerial Regulation No. 17 of 2009 is used as the study method. Land
obtained that the study area has diverse availability and land requirements where only Muara Kaman sub-district has a
surplus status. In contrast, Sangata Selatan, Teluk Pandan, Bontang Selatan and Marangkayu sub-districts have deficit
status. Types of land in potential research areas for the development of food crops and horticulture commodities.
Potential areas for developing the agricultural area, namely the Marangkayu sub-district, are in cultivation areas, while
Bontang Selatan, Muara Kaman, South Sanggata, and Teluk Pandan are in non-cultivation areas. The plantation area
pattern and settlement pattern was not following the carrying capacity, which was on the slope of> 40%, while the
protected forest area was on the slope of <26%. Making the spatial pattern should be adjusted to the carrying capacity
of the environment. | en_US |
