Main Factors Natural Disaster Causes

Main Factors Natural Disaster Causes, Errors and management of spatial factors driving the region into the largest number of victims of natural disasters such as arthquakes, floods and landslides. This is what needs to diminamilisir if the relevant agencies have the spatial planning is good and considering aspects of conservation.

This was conveyed, consultant spatial Orangutan Conservation Services Program (OCSP) Regional Sumatra, Eka Sitepu Rianta, at the Basic Training-Based Geographic Information System Free Open Source Software (FOSS), last week.
According to him, people are always blaming natural factors that caused the disaster, but if viewed objectively, there are errors in the management of a region.

"Exploitation of a large scale of an area can cause damage to the environment in which these and other affected areas. Living things, especially endangered species increasingly desperate and did not get a decent place to live and breed like any other living creature. Therefore needs to be some wisdom and discretion in the management of natural suberdaya, "he said.

He explained, the lack of human resources who have expertise in mapping and lead to poor spatial planning spatial products produced.

"Let's see lots of related institutions do not have the expected resources. One important element of planning that has always been a source of information and analysis is a spatial data information which is often manifested in the form of maps, "he explained.
Furthermore, he mentions the actual map image can be informed or come across more clearly and accurately.

For that, she called OCSP with funding support from USAID seeks to improve the quality of human resources in these areas to support forest management programs and sub-watersheds that benefit people and biodiversity, especially wildlife-protected animals such as orangutans, tigers, elephants and so on .

Mentioned, in this study made, useful to improve the quality of human resources at the local level by introducing and applying a special analysis technique approach, especially by using free applications to support planning and management program of forest conservation areas and wildlife and protect important subDAS livelihood. "This training free software-based GIS is the first conducted in Indonesia," he said.

Meanwhile, environmental analysts, Ir Jaya Arjuna deliver, in the middle of the influence of global climate change, have a major impact on the problems of life. Climate change is not only caused damage to the forest alone, but the result of a management area that does not refer to something and the rules made the system very well. Thus, the higher the level of pollution.
"Can we see today, for the class of Medan only minimal green open spaces, then in the more barren forests of North Sumatra," he said. The original forest area is estimated up to 3.5 million hectares, is now estimated at 50 percent due to run out of things just business interests and illegal logging.

Head of Central Natural Resources Conservation (BBKSDA) Sumut Djati Wicaksono Hadi, Saturday (23 / 1) says, destruction of mangrove forests (mangrove), especially in Karang Gading, Deli Serdang and Langkat, now quite severe. Mangrove forest destruction in Sumatra is not only due to the browser that took the wood of the forest, but also due to the change in the function of the oil fields or fish ponds. It should, mangrove was preserved as a bastion of coastal erosion and abrasion. "In North Sumatra damaged 6000 hectares, covering about 15,765 hectares of mangrove forests in this province," said Djati.

Therefore, he said, the destruction of mangrove forests in North Sumatra should promptly addressed by the related department, and how to be saved by greening. He mentioned an area of 6000 hectares of mangrove forest destruction in Sumatra are in Coral Ivory in District Labuhan Deli, Deli Serdang regency which reaches about 4,000 hectares. Then the area of 2000 hectares in the village of Padang Halaban, District Besitang, Base Village Stone, District of West Brandan, Langkat.

Meanwhile, Minister of Forestry of Indonesia, the Bogor Zukifli Hasan, Sunday (24 / 1) says approximately 42 million hectares of Indonesian forests have been felled now aka bald. Zulkifli said, the province still has a primary forest is part of Papua and Kalimantan. "Java Province who are no longer forests, as well as in Sumatra forest area is a little," he said.

Forest functions is very good for human life, in addition to preventing erosion caused disasters such as floods and longsong. "The most optimal effort to prevent the destruction of nature because of missing the forest is planted. Let us plant, with the movement we've planted trees provide oxygen and prevent the occurrence of natural disasters, "
