Adrianus Pramudya Hatibie (Geography 2019), Cita Meyliana (Geography 2019), and Tristan Dimastyo Ramadhan (Geography 2019) won First Place in the National Scientific Writing Competition (LKTIN) organized by the Agricultural Engineering Student Association of the University of Lampung. This activity is part of a series of PERMATEP In Action Season XII with a competition themed \"Student Innovation and Creativity in Implementing Science and Technology in the Field of Agriculture to Realize SDGs 2030\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Through a paper entitled \"Utilization of Geographic Information Systems and Remote Sensing in Determining the Potential of Scallion Plants in Cipanas District, Cianjur Regency, West Java Province\", the FMIPA UI contingent brought an innovation in the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Remote Sensing (PJ) to determine the spatial pattern of scallion plants and analyze the influence of production factors on scallion plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The team received direct guidance from a Geography lecturer at FMIPA UI, Adi Wibowo, PhD. The research conducted by the team focused on describing production factors and analyzing the potential of spring onions in Cipanas District to support regional economic growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"This is because Cipanas District is known as one of the largest producers of spring onions in West Java and has great potential to be developed. However, unfortunately there is no spatial distribution of its potential. Therefore, my team and I are interested in initiating this research,\" said Adrianus as the team leader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He further explained that this research uses the variables of slope, rainfall, and temperature in analyzing the suitability of spring onion planting areas. The methods used are spatial and qualitative descriptive analysis. Primary data collection was carried out through in-depth interviews with informants through field surveys. Meanwhile, secondary data was obtained through the Geospatial Information Agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"After being processed, the data is visualized in the form of a map, where the results of the study show that most areas in Cipanas District are suitable for planting spring onions,\" he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
