Analysis of Land Use and Cover Changes in Ciliwung and Cisadane Watershed in three Decades

The globalization and the developing of technology cause the increasing of human needs, which impacted to land use and cover change (LUCC), particularly in watershed area. Two watersheds have been investigating, namely Ciliwung and Cisadane watershed. The LUCC in those watersheds still continues since the growth of society and economy are increasing. Therefore, it needs a significance breakthrough to analyze the driving factors of LUCC. The aims of this research are 1) to monitor and analyze the LUCC, and 2) to figure out the driving factor of the LUCC. The outputs are LUCC maps, spider web diagram and the driving factor of a change during three period of time, i.e. 1978, 1995 and 2012. The LUCC and its driving factors were analyzed through Landsat satellite image. The results show the LUCC are always changed during those periods. The LUCC in those watershed following several processes and in the end changed into settlements and dry lands, predominantly.
