3.2 Research Framework
The research examines the preparation of multipurpose zoning in the area of marine conservation Pasi Island of Selayar Regency. The stages of this research
are as follows: a. Conducting an inventory of required data primary and secondary data;
b. Analyzing data and preliminary information about the condition of research sites and then design the core zone of MCA Pasi Island;
c. Collecting data and verification of field conditions; d. Offering design of the core zone MCA to stakeholders communities,
fishermen, local government-related; e. Collecting perception and activities that can be done in MCA;
f. Perform analysis and compilation of data, then overlaying to obtain a model multipurpose of MCA Pasi Island;
g. Making of MCA map, including the boundaries and multipurpose zoning of MCA.
3.3 Research Plan
3.3.1 Types of Data and Instruments
The Type of data required in this study consisted of 2 two types, namely primary and secondary data.
a. Primary data is biophysical and socio-cultural conditions of the research sites. Biophysical data are percentage of coral cover and density of coral reef fish
targetsindicators fish and economic importance fish. Social data includes the characteristic of fishermen and the perception of multipurpose zoning of MCA;
b. Secondary data, obtained from the literature review results and other information from local governments are considered to provide useful
information in support of this research Instruments used for processing up to the preparation of this thesis are as
follows: 1. The hardware consists of a set of portable computers notebook;
2. The software consists of Ms Excel, Ms Word and Arc View 3.3; 3. GPS Global Positioning System, a measurement to know the position and
coordinates of latitude and longitude on the surface of the earth;
4. Satellite images of Lansat 7 ETM + results processed and nautical charts of Oceanographical Department of the Indonesian Navy DISHIDROS-TNI AL.
3.3.2 Collecting Data Method
Primary data was collected from observation, measurement and review directly in the field study. Ecological data was collected with instrument prepared
and Scuba Set.
3.3.2.1 Physical-Chemistry Parameters
The measurement of physical-chemistry parameters were observed at each sites research which used to analyzing of environment condition. The parameters
were measured directly in the field by using instruments and the results are obtained directly through the reading of the scale from instruments.
The physical-chemistry parameters include depth, temperature, salinity, visibility, current, pH, dissolved oxygen, and the ocean substrate. Basically, the
methods of measuring are as follows: a. Depth
The measurement of depth at the sites of coral reefs conducted by the depth meter on scuba sets whereas the measurement of depth on water quality
conducted by the grab sampler. b. Temperature and Salinity
The measurement of temperature and Salinity was conducted by reading scale on Thermometer and Hand-refractometer instrument.
c. Current Velocity of current at each research sites was measured by using the floater
drudge. The direction of current determined by release of floater drudge in the early position until the last position. Whereas the velocity of current recorded
by tightened the rope of floater drudge in one time. d. Dissolved oxygen and pH
Parameters of dissolved oxygen DO and pH were measured by reading scale on DO meter and pH meter instrument.
