| Summary: | A sustainable management for the mangroves has not only provided consistent yield of renewable forest wood products such as timbers that are utilized for firewood, poles for foundation, construction materials, fishing gear and even tannin extraction, but also fishery resources and conductive environment for practice of non-destructive aquaculture activities. Mangrove play an important role in providing sites for nature education, general recreation, mangrove ecosystem research and in maintaining vital habitats for diversity of fauna and flora. Geographic Information System (GIS) become more popular and important in vary purpose such as vegetation, plantation, development and etc. The use of GIS in producing updated information, faster and helps in making the decision. GIS application in analyze the suitable area to crop fruit, mangrove plantation etc, that is constitute a research model to evaluate system in future. In this research study, GIS (IDRISI) is used as a tool in making an analysis and decision for producing a map for the determination of suitable area to plant mangrove at Tanjung Karang, Selangor. This research study is focus on producing a map that shows suitable and sustainable place to plant mangrove. The constraints are topographic information that shows the coastal area, soil types, and also the ph values of water. Based on this research study, the result is able in helping the decision maker to make their solution in planning for the determination of sustainable mangrove location in more effective and efficient. © 2011 IEEE.
