Abstract
One of the main issues for food security that has been implemented by the central government of Indonesia is to encourage local government in Kotawaringin Timur Regency to increase rice productivity. Several challenges that should be faced include land availability and suboptimal lands in wetlands. In order to achieve sustainability, appropriate spatial planning should be then designed. This study aimed to develop spatial planning and concept for rice development in wetlands based on standing crop data that provide information on landuse for rice farming. The application of geographic information system (GIS) technology was operated to generate the information in the form of spatial and tabular data as basic analysis for assisting in the planning process for landuse. The procedure of land evaluation was also used in this study to determine the land suitability of rice that was represented as agricultural land regions for food crops within the GIS environment. Decision-making that can be established includes land allocation for intensification and extensification zone as recommended landuse planning policy to support food policy and area development in wetlands of Kotawaringin Timur Regency. In the case study of Kotawaringin Timur Regency, Central Kalimantan Province, the result showed spatial distribution of both intensification and extensification areas with a total of 10.145 ha (3.52%) and 277,662 ha (96.48%). Specific landuse policies and programme can then be formulated and planned in the utilization of agricultural lands for rice farming development.
