Abstract
Sustainable management of agricultural resources is directed at achieving global food security, as well as for the greater interest in achieving several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as proposed by the United Nations, in particular the goals without poverty, without hunger and terrestrial ecosystems. One way that can be done to facilitate policy making in order to achieve these goals is to build a web-based food security information system on the basis of geosmart system. The purpose of this study is to develop a user friendly information system that provides thematic databases obtained from various sources, particularly remote sensing data, GIS, GPS, and field surveys with metadata information that has a coordinate system. The development of this system is expected to provide various thematic services on land and land resource information to facilitate visualization, access and information services on land resources in the study area. This study was conducted on Kaledupa Island, one of the islands in Wakatobi Regency, which is classified as a small island. In addition to biophysical information, it is expected that this system can also provide information services on socio-economic conditions, agricultural commodities, production, agro-ecology, soil, and crop suitability. The long-term target of developing this information system is expected to facilitate users and policy makers in Wakatobi Regency in managing land resources, assessing land degradation, and user-friendly agricultural planning in Wakatobi Regency.
