Utilization of Drones for Surveys, Mapping, in Determining the Feasibility of Oil Palm Plantation Land Using Applications of Geographic Information System (GIS)

Abstract

Banten has quite extensive potential for oil palm plantations. The area that has the potential for oil palm plantations is Banten Regency. This research was conducted on the suitability and potential of oil palm plantations in Banten Regency using a geographic information system. This research aims to analyze land suitability with parameters of rainfall, air temperature, soil type and topography for oil palm plantations in Banten Regency using a geographic information system and determine the potential of oil palm plantations in Banten Regency. The method used to analyze land suitability and potential for oil palm plantations is method matching. The results of data processing showed that the land suitability area in the suitable category (S1) was around 3.853,95 ha, quite suitable (S2) around 1.294,33 ha, marginally suitable (S3) around 258,40 ha and unsuitable (N) around 1,023,40 ha. The importance scale value from the AHP calculation results obtained an Eigen value of 5.425539 and a consistency index (CI) value of 0.106385, with a matrix size of 5 which has an index ratio (RI) value of 1.12, the consistency ratio (CR) obtained a value of 1.12. 0.094986. Decision making is based on a CR value ≤ 0.1 so that the results of the AHP analysis weighting are declared consistent.
