Abstract:
The aims of this research is to identify, classify and map landcover in
Amandit Sub Sub Watershed using Landsat Imagery that acquared in 1992, 2000 and
2010, and analyzing landcover changes in Amandit Sub Sub Watershed in 1992-2000,
2000-2010 and 1992-2010 period.
Furthermore, the data changes in landcover extracted by the method of stacking and
overlapping pivot table analysis (cross tab). The results of the analysis of landcover
changes clearly show that the Bushes and the moor are both landcover classes that
experienced the greatest rate of change during the period 1992-2000-2010. Both of them
contradictory, bush shrub widely experienced the greatest increasing, while the broad
moor experienced the greatest reduction. Both landcover maps and landcover change
matrix, also showed the emergence of two new types of landcover in 2010, those are the
Plantation Forest and the Palm Oil. Throughout the forested areas, both Primary Forest,
Secondary Forest, and Swamp Forest, experience a significant reduction in area. Forest
except that the width increases. In total, the rate of deforestation in Amandit Sub Sub
Watershed over a period of 18 years (1992-2010) is approximately 1519.88 hectares per
year
