SIMULASI PEMANFAATAN LAHAN BERDASARKAN PENDUGAAN EROSI TANAH: STUDI KASUS SUB DAS MOWEWE DI DAS KONAWEHA SULAWESI TENGGARA
Abstract: Sub watershed of
Mowewe has been considered as important regions in South East Sulawesi because
it takes a great responsibility as a water supplier in Konaweha watershed.
Konaweha watershed is a source of irrigation and domestic water for Kolaka
Regency, Konawe Regency, South Konawe Regency and Kendari Municipality which
have been recently in a critical condition. For this reason, it should be well
managed. This study was implemented with the aim of establishing model of land
use in Mowewe sub watershed that can preserve the land and water resources. The
method employs a system analysis with simulation technique by using the
Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) model based on Geographical Information
Systems (GIS). The result of the research revealed that the predicting soil
erosion is 68,58 ton/ha/year, more than the Tolerable Soil Loss (TSL) value of
21,52 ton/ha/year. Therefore, restructuring of land use pattern should be done
to improve the condition of the area to achieve a sustainability.
