Integrating GIS into Forest Resources Spatial Management and Planning (1) – Introduction

Integrating GIS into Forest Resources Spatial Management and Planning (1) – Introduction

by S.T. PradopoNo Comments
This article is summarized and concluded from articles as follow: (1) Making GIS Work in Forest Management by Manij Upadhyay, unpublished work. (2) A Hierarchical Approach to Spatial Forest Planning by Ugo Feunekes and Andrew Cogswell, USDA Forest Service, Proceeding (3) HCVF/A Identify Within Ecoregion; Integrating Conservation Planning into Regional Spatial Planning by Barano Siswa Sulistyawan, WWF Indonesia, (4) Assessing participatory GIS for community-based natural resources management: claiming community forests in Cameroon by Michael K. McCall and Peter A. Minang, The Geography Journal Volume 171 No.(4) pages 283-306, 2010   Introduction Integrating GIS into Forest Resources Spatial Management and Planning (1) - As Indonesia becomes the third highest biodiversity country, it is important for Indonesian to conserve its forest resources. Since, without any simultaneous conservation strategies and sustainable use of forest resources, all advantageous for nation development will be vanished no more than a few years. Concerns over the impacts of forest operations on the forest landscape have compelled a number of agencies to take initiatives to address these issues (Feunekes and Cogswell, 1993)....

THIESSEN POLYGON AND ISOHYET CONTOUR METHODS FOR MEASURE AND COMPARE THE PRECIPITATION MEAN

by S.T. PradopoNo Comments
THIESSEN POLYGON AND ISOHYET CONTOUR METHODS FOR MEASURE AND COMPARE THE PRECIPITATION MEAN A brief practical report   Below is the example of the precipitation mean measurement using thiessen polygon, and isohyet contour methods. Both methods is commonly used in climatology.  The result of thiessen polygon and isohyet contour methods shown in figures below : Tabel 1. Measurement of precipitation depth using Thiessen Polygon Station 24-hours Total Area Weighted ppt (mm) unit (%) (mm) A 78 0.05 0.3 24.04438964 B 115 1.7 10.5 1205.302096 C 140 3.8 23.4 3279.901356 D 165 2.1 12.9 2136.251541 E 150 0.95 5.9 878.5450062 F 90 3.4 21.0 1886.559803 G 175 1.8 11.1 1942.046856 H 155 2.42 14.9 2312.577065 Total 1068 16.22   13665.22811 ∑ Pn The average of preciputation depth = ∑ area                                                          = 13665.23 / 16.22                                                                      = 842.4925 mm   Tabel 2.

This may happen when we use a bigger grid size. The accuracy decrease since the grid cannot cover the area border precisely . Thiessen Polygon Method is simpler than isohyets contour. Isohyet method is more complex and may...
