Analisis Pengendalian Pemanfaatan Ruang dalam Mengatasi Dampak Perubahan Tutupan Lahan terhadap Besaran Stok Karbon di Kabupaten Banyuasin

Abstract

Forest and land fires and dynamic development in Banyuasin Regency have caused land cover change. This land cover change affects the amount of stored carbon reserves so that a spatial utilization control strategy is needed as an effort to reduce carbon emissions. The research method used is a mixed approach with qualitative and quantitative approaches. Quantitative method is done by using GIS analysis and mathematical equation of carbon calculation while qualitative method is done by using ANP. The results showed that from 2013 to 2023 the pattern of land cover change that occurred formed a spatial pattern of random distribution of land cover. The land cover that continues to increase in area is plantation and plantation forest. Meanwhile, the land cover of water bodies, savanna/grassland and secondary dryland forest continues to decline. Estimated carbon stocks due to land cover change in Banyuasin Regency during 2013, 2018 and 2023 as a whole continued to increase by 11%, which means that carbon stocks in Banyuasin Regency are in a state of sequestration. The largest contributor to carbon sequestration is land cover change to plantation and secondary swamp forest. There are several land covers that contribute significant emissions, namely land cover change to rice fields and open land. So that the formulation of priority space utilization control strategies for emission conditions is strict technical requirements, preservation of land ecosystems, and green spaces or greening. Meanwhile, for sequestration conditions, those with the highest priority value are prohibiting conversion, conservation, preservation and restoration, and preventing forest encroachment. For the selected criteria that produce the same choice in the emission and sequestration conditions, namely the protection adaptation option
