Pemetaan Potensi Wilayah Nagari Aie Angek, Kabupaten Tanah Datar, Sumatera Barat, Berbasis ArcGIS

Abstract

This community service project aims to map the regional potential of Nagari Aie Angek, located in X Koto District, Tanah Datar Regency, West Sumatra, as a basis for local development planning. Field surveys were conducted using GPS, direct observations, community interviews, and spatial data processing in ArcGIS with a 1:8,000 base map. The mapping focused on land use, public facilities, and economic-tourism potential. The results show that the area is dominated by forest (55.76%), plantations (31.63%), and rice fields (7.71%). The main economic potential lies in highland agriculture, including cabbage, carrots, potatoes, and chilies, supported by farmer groups and local businesses. Tourism assets such as hot springs, strawberry farms, and natural lakes offer opportunities for integrated agrotourism development. The generated spatial maps provide accurate references for sustainable development planning by integrating the agriculture and tourism sectors to improve community welfare.
