Detection of Mangrove Disruption due to Anthropogenic Factor in Protected Area using GIS Model : a Case Study in Konawe Selatan, Southeast Sulawesi

Coastal area is one of the rapid developing area in the world. Many activities have been running in this area such as fisheries, aquaculture, transportation, tourism and others. Mangrove is one of dominant, potential, productive, and high-value benefits of coastal ecosystems. Unfortunately, mangrove ecosystems have been damage across the country where it growths. Degradation of mangrove also happening in Konawe Selatan. Within 2009 to 2014, about 48% mangrove lost. Anthropogenic factor identified as the main drivers of mangrove ecosystem damage. Protected area can potentially conserve tropical coastal resources and provide social and economic benefits to the local communities. Delineation of protected area of mangrove is one approach being taken for environmental conservation in the tropical areas. Unfortunately, only 6,9% of mangroves worldwide are located within protected area. The aim of this study is to define mangrove disruption level due to anthropogenic factor inside the protected area in Konawe Selatan. The result shows that in protected area, there are 23,70% of mangrove indicated in low level of disruption and 63,63% in high level of disruption due to anthropogenic factor.
