Spasial analysis for pinus land suitability was evaluated based on the matching method. The reference and criteria were adopted from the Land Suitability for Agricultural Plants by the Centre for Soil and Agroclimate Research, Bogor-Indonesia. The Geographic Information System (GIS) was used to map the actual and potential land suitability in Telagah Village. The results showed that the actual land suitability classes for pinus in this area were moderately suitable (S2) (97.26%) and marginal suitable (S3) (2.74%). The potential land suitability classes for pinus in this area were Suitable (S1) (52.04), moderately suitable (S2) (46.04%) and marginal suitable (S3) (1.92%) in Telagah Village. The temperature (tc) and erosion hazard (eh) were the dominant of limiting factor in this area.
