Mapping of Tree Health Categories in Community Forests in Lampung Province

Abstract

The sustainability of community forests in supporting various aspects of community life can be supported by maintaining their potential. One of them is through an assessment of the health of the trees. They know the condition of the damage and the actions that must be taken. The utilization of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in assessing the health condition of the forest is very much needed to facilitate management through the health condition of a forest that is described spatially. The data analysis results showed 17 clusters of observation plots used in total. The cluster plots are spread over 5 clusters in good condition, and 1 cluster in lousy condition in East Lampung Regency. 6 clusters are in good condition, and 1 cluster is in moderate condition in Pesawaran Regency. And 2 clusters in good condition and 2 clusters in terrible condition in Tulang Bawang Regency. Overall, the average health condition of trees in community forests in Lampung Province is still in good condition. However, good management is needed to prevent the spread of damage from becoming more expansive. Preventive measures can be taken with good maintenance, pest eradication, and more organized harvesting. dilakukan dengan pemeliharaan yang baik salah satunya dengan pemberantasan hama penyakit serta pemanenan yang lebih terorganisir.
