Analysis of Land Capability in Alluvial Plain and Volcanic Slope of Rembang District using Landforms Approach

Landform is typical morphological appearance of the earth who reflect the morphology and material of the land (soil type) that is approximately the same. This study aimed to assess the land characteristics and land capability of the landforms unit in the study area. The research method prepared using geomorphology-ground approach. Landforms unit used as the unit of analysis in assessing the land capability. The data collection was held by field observations, analysis of remote sensing data, taking aerial photo using UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle), and laboratory analysis. Remote sensing techniques and Geographical Information Systems (GIS) is used to analysis the morphogenesa, morphology, morphoaranggement, and morphocronology unit in alluvial plains, karst hills and volcanoes slopes landforms. Land capability classification is analized using landform approach. The results showed that parts of Rembang District has four land capability classes (II, III, IV, and V) and eight land capabilty subclasses. Forms of land use in the study site must conform with existing land capability in order to achieve sustainable land use.
