APPLICATION OF REMOTE SENSING AND GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION SYSTEM FOR FOREST RESOURCES BALANCE MAPPINGIN THE TARUSAN SUB-DAS, PESISIR SELATAN DISTRICT
Abstract
This forest resource balance mapping aims to (1) determine changes in the area of forest resources in the XI Tarusan sub-district, Pesisir Selatan Regency; (2) find out the forest balance in XI Tarusan District, Pesisir Selatan District; (3) determine the accuracy of Landsat 8 imagery for preparing forest resource balances. The method used in mapping the balance of forest resources is by carrying out a supervised classification for land use and land cover. Then the data is overlaid using a two-dimensional matrix approach. Furthermore, the data is analyzed using a Geographic Information System which provides spatial information to be able to present data in map form. The results of this study are changes in the area of forest resources in XI Tarusan District, Pesisir Selatan District, which is 28.62 Ha.,and the accuracy of the Landsat 8 image obtained in the preparation of this forest resource is 91.66%.
