Abstract


Changes in land use and land cover are one of the main factors affecting ecosystems and the services they provide. Conversion from natural vegetation to agricultural and urban land can lead to degradation of ecosystem services and loss of biodiversity. The Puncak area, Bogor, which is a highland area, has become an area that is synonymous with tea plantations, because it has an ecosystem that is suitable for being a tea plantation area. The Gunung Mas tea plantation managed by PTPN VIII is one of the largest tea plantations and a contributor to foreign exchange in Indonesia. The tourism potential in the plantation and agricultural business sectors has a high selling value as a tourist object and attraction. The purpose of this study is to find out the distribution of ecosystem services for climate regulation, water flow and flood regulation, and ecotourism and cultural recreation services at the Gunung Mas tea plantation which is displayed in the form of an Ecosystem Service Map. The land cover classification was extracted from the Sentinel 2A image, which was then scored based on expert judgement. The scoring results are then processed using the AHP Pairwise Comparison method. The results of the study show that the research area has very high climate regulation ecosystem services , very high water flow and flood regulation, and high cultural recreation and ecotourism ecosystem services .
