dc.description.abstract | Kokap subdistric is located in Kulonprogo District, Yogyakarta Province. It has some problems of landslides
and misuse of land. The research was proposed to determine the regions having potential of land degradation based on
the land capability and population pressure analysis. This research was carried out using field survey. The field survey
was based on landform unit as area sampling unit. The (Land Classification and Land Use Planning) LCLP
software was applied for land capability classification. The Soemarwoto method was applied for the evaluation of
population pressure on the agriculture land. The results of this research were: (1) land capability in the study area was
varies from class II – class VII with limitation factors of slope, soil erodibility, soil texture, soil permeability and soil
efectif depth, (2) the whole study area fell into high population pressure class (that means it had exceed of it’s land
capability), (3) most of the study area (51,9%) had been classified into high potential of land degradation. | en_US |
