Abstract: Land degradation as a result of long-term land use changes can result in disruption of the water cycle. The research objectives were to determine: 1) soil quality index that occurs as a result of changes in forest land use, and 2) important factors affecting land degradation in the Lindu Catchment Area. The research was conducted from December 2016 to June 2017 in the Lindu Catchment Area, Sigi Regency, Indonesia. Information on physico-chemical properties is used to construct a soil quality assessment model. Discussions with stakeholders from government and private institutions were used to identify important factors affecting soil-water conservation policies. The results showed that changes in land use types from primary forest to secondary forest and mixed plantation caused the soil quality index to drop sharply. Important factors that can be used as a basis for formulating recommendations in the formulation of soil-water conservation policies include: changes in land use types, population migration, restrictions on village road accessibility, and soil-water conservation practices.
