Land Capability and Capacity Analysis of Marampit as a Border Island in Indonesia

Abstract

Marampit Island is one of the outer islands that border on the Philippines. This island is dominated by lowland area with elevation no more than 100 m from the sea surfaces, composed of coral rocks. The surfaces consist of a thin layer of soil and dominated by forest and plantation. Marampit has good natural coastal system and high of diverse ecosystem. This study purposed to maping the land capability and capacity of Marampit Island. Based on the analysis, Marampit have three class of land capability, they are second class or high of land capability where spread over west and south edges of island, third class or medium of land capability where spread over middle of island and fourth capability where spread in the north of island. According to the developable area size and current built area population density, Marampit Island can withstand a population of 7 980 people. Mapping of land capability and capacity analysis can be used to equip the database and recommendation for Marampit development, as the outer and border island of Indonesia.
