Driving Force Analysis of Landuse and Cover Changes in Cimandiri and Cibuni Watersheds

West Java in north region around Jakarta has been developed and constantly accelerating. This development has caused many problems i.e. floods, land slide, erosion and pollution. In contrast, the development of West Java in south region is very slow, although there are many potential lands to be developed. Environmental degradation in a landscape should be considered in a watershed as it has function as ecological boundary. Two watersheds which are located in south region, namely Cimandiri and Cibuni watershed are less developed than the watersheds in the north region. Learning from the north region development condition which caused environmental degradation, south region watersheds should consider the environmental aspects in the development process. Therefore, landscape planning to explore the watershed resources potential and landscape management is needed by considering the environmental impacts for supporting the low carbon societies (LCS) program. The purposes of this research are to analyze land use/cover changes (LUCC), and to determine the driving factor of these changes. Supervised classification and logistic regression analysis (LRA) were employe in this study. We found that there are three land use and cover classes that dominate Cimandiri and Cibuni Watersheds such as farm fields, forest, and bushes.
