IDENTIFICATION
OF POTENTIAL AREA FOR PADDY FIELD USING
MODEL BUILDER IN PINRANG DISTRICT SOUTH SULAWESI
I.
Introduction
Growth in rice production this time farmers developed from years of research and the State than by population growth, Because the rice is the main meal of the various regions, especially in Indonesia, rice production research studies to be one of the major to match balanced growth and rice production. Most of the studies relative to use national penlitian program. challenge now is to determine areas suitable for agriculture.
Coupled with new technologies such as GIS tasks will be young researchers. There are many definitions to explain what actually GIS or Geographic Information Systems. GIS is defined as a computer package that integrates storage, definition, analysis, modeling and digital mapping of spatial information; another reference is defined as an organized activity in which people measure and represent geographic phenomena then transform these representations into
other forms while
interacting with social structures. By
utilizing GIS technology researchers will
be easier to determine a more suitable area for rice production, even the GIS software also has a toolbox that can further facilitate the researchers,
the model builder is a toolbox that can build a model for suitability of paddy field, the researchers build of the model builder can use the model with different
areas without having to repeat the step from the beginning so that researchers
can get spatial information about
the suitability of land quickly.
II . Objective

objective of this study area to identify the potential area for paddy field
using model builder
