Abstract

The relocation of the national capital city from Jakarta to Nusantara, East Kalimantan as a program from the government for the transformation of Indonesia based on innovation, technology, and a green economy reaps many pros and cons. One of them is related to food security, this is because in 2024 according to the estimated population that will move to Nusantara Capital City (IKN) as many as 300,000 people, then the population increases to 1 million people, while IKN states that the IKN area only provides 10% of 75% of the open area to be used as a food supply area, while most of the land in East Kalimantan is plantations and peatlands. Increasing rice food is important for concerns about food security. Paser Regency is important in increasing the supply of rice food. Therefore, it is necessary to change the function of land from open fields to the agricultural field as a solution to the problem of food security which will also cause other problems, one of which is the availability of carbon stocks that will change in the soil and atmosphere. Globally, soil carbon stocks are estimated to be almost three times the carbon stock in biomass and twice the carbon stock in the air. If not properly conserved, this large soil carbon stock has the potential to become a source of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) which in turn has an impact on the rate of climate change. The use of remote sensing method is one of the non-destructive methods to estimate the value of the vegetation index of the IKN buffer area so that it can estimate the value of the vegetation index and estimate the value of above-ground carbon (AGC) content through a model. The equation model AGC=23.669+3.741(NDVI)+6.448(NIR) with a value of R² = 0.71 and RMSE = 0.09 (t.h^-1) can estimate the AGC value properly using the vegetation index so that the value of the remote sensing method can be used as an approach in the calculation as one of the considerations in the land conversion program.
