Landscape-Lifescape Analysis in Forest Protection and Safety on Various of Forest Functions in Minraleng Watershed of Maros Regency, South Sulawesi

Abstract

The study was conducted in upstream area of Minraleng Watershed. This study aims to determine the carrying capacity of landscape and lifescape in order to suppor protection and security of various functions of forest areas. The method used is PAR approach with discriminant analysis. The result of the research shows that carrying capacity of landscape in order to support the protection and security in various functions of forest area can be seen with discriminant equation D = -1,86 + 6,25X11 + 6,15X12 + 6.24X13 + 5.81X14 + 6.25X15 - 0.062X16 + 0.16X17. Based on the equation it can be seen that each variable of the landscape has a significant impact on the protection and protection of forests in various functions of forest areas. The most influential variables are topography, climate and land cover. Based on the results of discriminant analysis, we obtain the equation of lifescpae equation analysis D = -3,69 + 6,25X₂₁. Which means the lifescape support capacity (life) in supporting the protection and protection of forests in various functions of forest areas is influenced by a single factor of livelihood strategy. Based on lifescape and landscape analysis approach should refer to some variables that support the sustainability of forest protection.
