Ecologicall Footprint and Biocapacity Analysis for Flooding Prevention in South Sumatera

Abstract

Planning is the beginning of development activities towards sustainable environmental urgently needed and by integrating ecological footprint into development planning in the region, especially the Spatial Plan (RTRW) that is effective and has a strong tenure. This research aims to analyze existing ecological footprint in South Sumatra, to be able to note the condition of regions ecological footprint. Data analysis is carried out through a quantitative analysis, such as calculating where Ecological Footprint (EFA) and Counting Biocapacity (BC). Results of the analysis obtained EF EF = 0.967 and 1.088 that BC = EF <BC which means undershoot, which needs space do not exceed the space available to support the population lives in the region of South Sumatra. Recommendations are given in integrating Ecologicall Footprint in South Sumatra RTRW is making patterns of spatial use directives that integrate the needs of consumption and waste disposal populations, both individually and as a community.
