Tapaktuan is a region of the west coast of Aceh which has high forest and biodiversity potential in Indonesia because most of this region is part of the Leuser Ecosystem which is known to have high biodiversity and needs to be preserved. land conversion is a big challenge for this region because of development and development activities as well as population growth. The purpose of this study is to identify land use using GPS devices. The method is by first grounding the field with GPS MAPS GARMIN type 60 CSx then the data is stored on the device. Next determine the position of the object points and then input using Mapsource software to be processed into ArcGIS. to obtain information in the field in the form of observations of land cover in the field and the coordinates. Based on the results of groundchek observations in the field as many as 299 points obtained 7 types of land cover in the field consisting of bodies of water, forests, plantations, dryland agriculture, vacant land, settlements, and shrubs. The coordinates were taken covering 15 villages in the Tapaktuan sub-district, South Aceh Regency.

The objective of this study is to expand the mapping of land use and land cover, as well as of the permanent preservation areas (PPAs), and identify land misuse areas in the PPAs in the Tailândia municipality in the state of Pará, which is part of the Amazon biome. Remote sensing techniques and geographic information systems (GIS) were used to achieve these goals. Mapping and classification for the year 2012 were made by visual interpretation of images obtained from the RapidEye satellite, which has a 5 m spatial resolution. In this work, we identified nine classes of land use and land cover. From the hydrography vectors it was possible to determinate the Permanent Preservation Areas of the bodies of water according to the environmental legislation. Analysis of misuse in the PPAs was made by crossing-checking the land use and land cover data with that of the PPAs. The results show that 53 % of the municipality (2,347.64 km²) is occupied by human activities. Livestock farming is the activity that has most increased the use of area (30 %), followed by altered vegetation (14.6 %) and palm oil (7.2 %). The PPAs have a high percentage of misuse (47.12 %), with livestock being the largest contributor, occupying 26.65 % of the PPAs, followed by altered vegetation (12.64 %) and palm oil (4.29 %). Therefore, the main objective in Tailândia is to reconcile economic activity with sustainable development. It is important to emphasize the partnerships between the government, research institutions, regulatory agencies, states departments and local communities, else it would be impossible to monitor or control an area as vast as the Amazon.
