PENGEMBANGAN INDUSTRI CRUDE PALM OIL BERKELANJUTAN DENGAN MENGGUNAKAN MODEL GEO-SPATIAL MULTICRITERIA DECISION ANALYSIS

Abstract

Abstract
Development of crude palm oil industry in Indonesia and Malaysia have been able to
change the map of world vegetable oil in a short time. In 1985, Indonesia palm oil production
reached 1.3 million tons. However, in 2007 Indonesia has surpassed the total production of
CPO Malaysia. Indonesia’s CPO total production in 2011is 23 million tons. To produce
that amount of production volume, there are at least 4 million ha of land to produce raw
material for the factory. With the next target of 50 million tons of production will of course
be a lot of land to be prepared or converted. However, the increasing of CPO production is
not always have a positive impact. Forest damage caused by the opening of oil palm
plantation and is still a lack of consideration to increase CPO production through increased
productivity of the land received many responses from various parties environmentalists.
Approximately 400,000 ha of forests in Indonesia per year be converted into oil palm
plantations. The use of forest land for oil palm plantations is one of the growing threat of
Indonesia’s CPO production so necessary to control the development of this industry.This
paper provides an alternative optimal solution to the development of palm oil industry by
building a decision support system that integrates GIS with spatial analysis models
esspecially multicriteria decision making. This spatial based decision support system has a
capability to accommodate the limitations of land development, environmental constraints,
transportation facilities and transportation networks as well to get the optimal CPO industry
development decision.
