Abstract

Boyolali Regency comprises a variety of land uses, which encompass village treasury land and oro-oro land. The importance of examining this land^’s potential lies in its optimization and the reduction of disaster-related risks. This study^’s objective is to evaluate the land potential index, aiding in effective land management decisions. The primary aim is to assess the land potential index for village treasury land and oro-oro land in Boyolali Regency. This research employs spatial analysis within a geographic information system and involves parameter rating and overlaying. Parameters such as topography, lithology, soil type, hydrology, and disaster vulnerability are considered to determine the land potential. The results classify Boyolali Regency^’s land potential index into five categories: very low, low, medium, high, and very high. Each category exhibits variations in potential and vulnerability for various purposes, including settlements, gardens, moorlands, forests, and rice fields. Field surveys generate maps showing the distribution of village treasury and oro-oro land with varying potential levels. The assessment takes multiple factors into account, such as topography, land area, and proximity to protected or disaster-prone areas when identifying suitable land for relocation. This research provides valuable insights for land planning and management in Boyolali Regency by integrating considerations of land potential and vulnerability.
