Topography and land suitability analysis in the integrated waste management site building (IWMB) at the University of Lampung

Slope class maps are products resulting from the topographical analysis process. The results of this topographical analysis can also be used as a basis for land suitability analysis, supported by land cover maps and indicative maps of built and undeveloped areas. The Integrated Waste Management Site Building (IWMB) at the University of Lampung was used as an AoI (Area of Interest) or a study area for making land suitability maps. The AoI in the Unila campus area was 4.11 hectares. This study aims to explore the capabilities of drones as a complementary vehicle for field survey data to find out topographical data and to analyze spatial suitability plans. The method used in this research was an interpretation of aerial photographs and analysis using the ArcGIS application. From the slope class analysis results, the research location is included in the flat class category to be safe for all buildings (0-8%). For classification in spatial suitability analysis, the area is divided into 8 development plans to provide sustainable green open spaces in the campus area. Based on the research results, information was found that drone technology can assist visual interpretation in an area’s development plan.
