APPLICATION OF GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION SYSTEMS IN MAINTAINING COASTAL MORPHOLOGY IN BIRA VILLAGE AS AN EMPLOYMENT OF THE 14TH SDGs

Abstract

English

The application of a Geographic Information System (GIS) in maintaining coastal morphology in Bira Village is an important step in supporting the achievement of the 14th Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which relate to preserving marine and coastal ecosystems. Bira Village, located in Makassar, South Sulawesi, is a clear example of implementing SDGs, especially Goal 14, which focuses on marine ecosystems. The mangrove forest in Bira Village has great potential, providing economic benefits through agriculture, aquaculture and tourism. However, the sustainability of this ecosystem from generation to generation is the key to preserving it. This research aims to identify, maintain and preserve the potential of mangrove forests as part of the SDGs. The research results provide an understanding of mangrove forests, their location, ecosystem benefits, and ways to preserve them. Preserving the mangrove ecosystem requires public awareness, stopping illegal clearing, restoration, sustainable management, pollution control and wildlife protection. Apart from that, the development of sustainable ecotourism is also needed to increase awareness and support conservation. The application of GIS in maintaining coastal morphology in Bira Village helps maintain environmental balance and provides long-term economic benefits for coastal communities. This initiative can be an example for other regions in efforts to preserve coastal and marine ecosystems which are important for maintaining the sustainability of the planet.

Penerapan Sistem Informasi Geografis (SIG) dalam penjagaan morfologi pesisir di Desa Bira merupakan langkah penting dalam mendukung pencapaian Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) ke-14, yang berkaitan dengan pelestarian ekosistem lautan dan pesisir. Desa Bira, yang terletak di Makassar, Sulawesi-Selatan, adalah contoh nyata penerapan SDGs, khususnya Goal 14, yang berfokus pada ekosistem lautan. Hutan mangrove di Desa Bira memiliki potensi besar, memberikan manfaat ekonomi melalui pertanian, pertambakan, dan pariwisata. Namun, keberlanjutan ekosistem ini dari generasi ke generasi menjadi kunci untuk melestarikannya.Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi, menjaga, dan melestarikan potensi hutan mangrove sebagai bagian dari SDGs. Hasil penelitian menyajikan pemahaman tentang hutan mangrove, lokasinya, manfaat ekosistem, serta cara-cara melestarikannya. Pelestarian ekosistem mangrove memerlukan kesadaran masyarakat, penghentian pembabatan ilegal, restorasi, pengelolaan berkelanjutan, pengendalian pencemaran, dan perlindungan satwa liar. Selain itu, pengembangan ekowisata berkelanjutan juga diperlukan untuk meningkatkan kesadaran dan mendukung pelestarian.Penerapan SIG dalam penjagaan morfologi pesisir di Desa Bira membantu menjaga keseimbangan lingkungan dan menyediakan manfaat ekonomi jangka panjang bagi masyarakat pesisir. Inisiatif ini dapat menjadi contoh bagi daerah lain dalam upaya pelestarian ekosistem pesisir dan laut yang penting untuk menjaga keberlanjutan planet ini.
