Analisis Perubahan Penggunaan Lahan terhadap Habitat Harimau Sumatra (Panthera tigris sumatrae) di Zona Penyangga Taman Nasional Gunung Leuser (Studi Kasus: Desa Lau Damak)

Abstract

Land use change is a factor that causes complex problems related to human safety and also sumatran tigers. Given these impacts, it is necessary to conduct research on the analysis of land use changes in Lau Damak Village as a buffer zone for Gunung Leuser National Park. The purpose of this study is to analyze the types of land use in 2018 and 2022. SPOT 7 satellite imagery as a spatial tool in this study was used to identify the type of land use by applying the Object Base Image Analysis (OBIA) method, so that a matrix analysis of land use change and descriptive analysis were obtained through interviews. The results of the classification produced 12 types of land use, namely clouds, rivers, forests, roads, oil palm plantations, rubber plantations, mixed lands, open land, shrubs, agricultural land, settlements and rice fields. Matrix analysis showed that the largest land use change occurred in forest land that was converted to oil palm land covering an area of 220.54 Ha. Most respondents use oil palm land on other use area (68%), limited production forest (35%) and Gunung Leuser National Park (0%) areas. The smallest percentage is found in rice fields on land on other use area (8%), limited production forest (0%) and Gunung Leuser National Park (0%). Based on the overlapping map, there are 3 conflict points that have occurred in Lau Damak village, all of which occurred in oil palm plantations. However, it is possible that the signs of the existence of sumatran tigers are not affected by any type of land use and this impact is evidenced by habitat shrinkage and repeated conflicts in Lau Damak Village.
