Drought is a hydrometeorological disaster that significantly affects water availability and agricultural activities. Pesisir Selatan Regency has diverse topographic conditions that influence the level of vulnerability to drought, thereby requiring a comprehensive spatial analysis. This study aims to map drought risk by integrating slope steepness with other biophysical parameters using Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The data employed include slope maps derived from DEMNAS, rainfall data (CHIRPS 2024), soil types, land use, and river networks. The analysis was conducted through scoring and overlay methods to produce a drought risk map. The results indicate that areas with very steep slopes (>45%) have a high level of vulnerability due to surface runoff dominance and low infiltration capacity, particularly in Bayang Utara District. In contrast, flat to gently sloping areas dominated by rice fields and forest cover are relatively low-risk. Overall, drought risk in the region is classified into three categories: low, medium, and high. The resulting maps can serve as a basis for local governments in developing spatial planning policies, water conservation infrastructure, and disaster mitigation strategies that are more adaptive and sustainable.

Basseang Village, Pinrang Regency is an area with a hilly contour that is prone to landslides, especially during high rainfall.

This research aims to analyze the physical and chemical characteristics of wet soils in tidal swamp ecosystems and their implications for sustainable agriculture in South Kalimantan. Tidal marshlands have great potential to be developed as agricultural land, but specific soil conditions require proper management. The results showed that soils in tidal marsh ecosystems are generally clay-textured with high moisture content and low porosity, which affects soil drainage and aeration. Moderately high organic matter content (3-7%) is a positive factor for soil fertility, but soil acidity (pH 4.5-5.5) and high sulfate content pose challenges for agriculture. Soil acidity potentially inhibits the availability of essential nutrients such as phosphorus and increases aluminum toxicity. The potential formation of acid sulfate soils also requires careful management to prevent further soil degradation.

One of the most profitable agricultural commodities is eggplant. Eggplants also need to be large enough to be eaten as vegetables or vegetables. Eggplant farmers in Indonesia often experience crop failure problems due to excessive use of chemical fertilizers, which make the soil acidic and harmful to the environment. Efforts to help the growth and development of eggplants by using compost. The focus of the research is to determine the effectiveness of various compost fertilizers on the growth and production of eggplant plants. It was carried out from July-September 2023 in Sidorejo Village, Langsa Lama District, Langsa City. In this study, a Non-Factorial Group Random Design (RAK) was used. The observed factor is various compost fertilizers, which consist of 11 composts with 1 variety of Mustang F1 eggplant which is repeated 3 times. The results showed that the treatment of various types of compost fertilizers had a real effect on the plant height parameters of 15 HST and stem diameter of 45 HST. However, it had an insignificant effect on the parameters of average fruit weight, fruit weight, number of fruit planted, average fruit size and production per hectare at harvest time. The benefits of this research are improving the quality of soil fertility, plants becoming fertile, and improving plant quality and productivity. The best result was obtained from K8 (gamal leaf compost), but it was as good as K7 (petai leaf compost). The application of compost fertilizer is effective for all parameters of eggplant plants, except for the treatment of K5 (bagasse compost) because the average value is below 100%, the most effective compost fertilizer is obtained in the treatment of K8 (gamal leaf compost), but it is as good as K4 (straw compost) and K7 (petai leaf compost). To cultivate eggplant plants, it is recommended to use gamal leaf compost, straw compost, petai leaf compost.
