ABSTRACT
COK ORDA PUTRA LEGAWA. A Studv of Land Suitability for Coastal Tourism
in Kecamatan Teluk Sampit, Kabupaten-~otawarin~in
~ i m " r ,Central Kalimantan
Province. Under the direction of SANTOSO RAHARDJO, FREDINAN
YULIANDA, and YUSLl WARDIATNO.
The first objective of this thesis research is to use a geographical
information system (GIs) to analyze land suitability for coastal tourism
development. Land suitability was divided into three classes: (1) highly suitable
(SI), defined as having an area of 52.23 ha; (2) marginally suitable (S3), defined
as having an area of 279.79 ha; and (3) not suitable (N), defined as having an
area of 60,667.98 ha.
The second objective of this thesis is to estimate the physical carrying
capacity for supporting coastal tourism activity. Capacities are broken down into
the following categories: (1) physical carrying capacity of the beach area, this
ranged from 525 persons per day for a low standard, to 184 persons per day for a
deluxe standard; (2) hotel accommodations, these range of 964 bedrooms for
intensive development and 193 bedrooms for preservation; (3) infrastructures

such for sewage disposal requires an area of 0.158 ha for low standard and
0.055 ha for deluxe standard and water for daily consumption that should be
available in the area is about 262,500 literslday for a low standard, and 92,000
literlday for a deluxe standard; and (4) recreational space, this reflects the daily
maximum number of visitors that can fit for coastal tourism activities, such as:
picnicking (261 persons), beach sports such as: jogging (116 persons), or sunbathing (435 persons).
The third objective of this thesis is to determine the optimum area for
coastal tourism development in Kecamatan Teluk Sampit. The optimum area
that can be recommended for recreational activities, such those identified in the
paragraph above is about 52.23 ha, based on GIs and physical carrying capacity
analyses.
Based on the findings for these three objectives, it is likely that only some of
the area is suitable for development for coastal tourism with such activities,
includes: picnicking, beach sports, sight seeing, sun-bathing, swimming, and
boating.
