Mapping Of Peat Hydrological Unit And Peat Dome Of Indonesia In Supporting Sustaninable Peat Management
Abstract
Recently, there is a serious awareness for destruction of peat land in Indonesia especially for its utilization in palm oil crop and industrialforest development. In order to prevent further destruction, the Government of Indonesia has regulated to avoid using deep peat land. Beside that, the Minisw of Environment current proposes a new additional regulation for not using peat dome area, based on peat hydrological unit area; which data have not yet available in Indonesia. This study informs the progress of hydrological peat and peat dome mawing in Indonesia, using remote sensing data and available spatial data, with limited field data. The result shows the distribution and the variation of peat hydrological unit and peat dome throughout Indonesia.
