Popis: Erosion is one of three indicators that showed the health condition of watershed. The most important human intervention factor that influence condition of erosion is landuse. This study aimed to calculate the erosion value at existing condition on Bedagai Sub Watershed and optimizing watershed management by simulating some scenarios based on addition of forest land cover index to analyse its effects on erosion value. The calculation of erosion using USLE Method and ArcGIS 10.3 application. There are three scenarios simulated using Arc GIS 10.3 which is in each scenario the addition of forest land cover is about 5%. The forest land cover in existing condition is about 4%, in the scenario 1 is about 10% landcover index, scenario 2 is about 15% forest landcover index, and scenario 3 is about 20% forest landcover index. The result shown in existing condition, the erosion value was 209.74 ton/ha/year which classified as high hazard level. The simulation of three scenarios shown the erosion value by applying scenario 1 was 169.97 ton/ha/year, scenario 2 was126.52, and scenario 3 was 95.97 which is in medium hazard level.
