Utilization of Open Polygon Method for Land Mapping in Mojoroto Kediri with Geospatial Approach

Abstract

Land mapping is an important research activity to determine the location of points on the earth's surface, describing the physical condition of parts of the surface that resemble the actual condition. The objective of this process is to gain a comprehensive understanding of the land to be built and used through land area measurements, topographic maps, and land volume analysis at various altitudes. In this mapping, the open polygon method is used for calculations which are conventional methods using data point values as data centers to represent the area of influence. During this mapping, there are three main points used with the open polygon method. A total of 26 ground contours were recorded, and 4 road contours recorded. During the mapping process, corrections are required on the open polygon calculations to ensure the accuracy of the results. This correction involves adjusting the data to take into account field variability and inaccuracies of measuring instruments, so that the resulting data can be reliable for further analysis and correct decision-making. The land that has been painted can be used for various fields such as construction, and mining. Land mapping allows partial surface physical state imaging, classification of land, and can be used to plan, build, and maintain infrastructure such as highways and bridges. The result of this practice obtained data of the maximum height of 90,0945 masl and minimum 88,76 masl with the average ground height 90,05059 masl, while the average highway height is at 88,86175 masl.
