Abstract

The aim of this study is to analyze the density of buffalo livestock in the southern coastal area of Greater Manggarai based on the calculation of Location Quotient (LQ), to analyze the factors that influence farmers in the existence of buffalo livestock. This research was conducted from December 2024 to May 2025 in the southern coastal area of Greater Manggarai spread across 7 sub-districts, namely: Lembor, South Lembor, Satar Mese, West Satar Barat, Borong, Komba City, and North Komba sub-districts. The research method used in this study was livestock density calculation, LQ analysis, and influence factor analysis using multiple linear regression with SSPS 18 as a tool. The results of the study indicate that the majority of the southern region of the Greater Manggarai area is not a base for buffalo livestock, but in terms of potential and topography, the region is very supportive from the economic, socio-cultural and traditional aspects. The results of the analysis of the potential and condition of the region and the density of buffalo livestock can be symbolized that the priority for buffalo livestock development is in the Kota Komba and Lembor Selatan sub-districts, followed by Lembor and Borong sub-districts. For the specific development of buffalo livestock commodities, based on the results of the LQ analysis, the potential base for buffalo livestock development is in the Lembor Selatan and Kota Komba sub-districts. The most dominant influencing factor in the analysis of the potential and condition of the buffalo livestock development area in the southern region of the Greater Manggarai area is the socio-cultural factor.
