 Depopulation and increasing greenery due to agriculture land abandonment is general scenario in many highlands of Nepal in recent decades. High resolution remote sensing image is used in land use change analysis. Recently, object based image analysis technique has helped to improve the land use classification accuracies using object based image analysis. Thus, this study was carried out with high resolution image data sources and innovative technique of land use classification in the northeast part of Andhikhola watershed, in the Middle Hill of Nepal. Increasing greenery due to agriculture land abandonment in the hill slope is the major land use change. Secondly, increasing built-up area in lowland along the highway is another. Decreasing hill farmers is the major drivers of converting cultivated land into vegetated area and increasing built-up area is due to urbanization and shift of rural people from hill slope to lowland and accessible area. Converting cultivated land into forest, shrubs and grassland is at marginal land and remote areas which is mostly controlled by altitude, slope gradient and slope aspect. Additionally, land suitability and accessibility are also other important controlling factors.

Klaten Regency is one of the regencies in Central Java Province that has an increasing population every year. This can cause an increase in built-up land for human activities. The built-up land needs to be monitored so that the construction is in accordance with the regional development plan so that it does not cause problems such as the occurrence of critical land. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor land use regularly. One method for monitoring land use is the remote sensing method. The remote sensing method is much more efficient in mapping land use because without having to survey the field. The remote sensing method utilizes satellite imagery data that can be processed for land use classification. This study uses the sentinel 2 satellite image data with the Object-Based Image Analysis (OBIA) algorithm to obtain land use classification. Sentinel 2 satellite imagery is a medium resolution image category with a spatial resolution of 10 meters. The land use classification can be used to see the distribution of built-up land in Klaten Regency without having to conduct a field survey. The results of the study obtained a segmentation scale parameter value of 60 and a merge scale parameter value of 85. The classification results obtained by 5 types of land use with OBIA. Agricultural land use dominates with an area of 50% of the total area.

<p>Soil erosion in Alpine grassland areas is an ecological threat caused by the extreme topography, prevailing climate conditions and land-use practices but enhanced by climate change (e.g., heavy precipitation events, changing snow dynamics) in combination with changing land-use practices (e.g, more intensely used pastures). To increase our understanding of ongoing soil erosion processes in Alpine grasslands, there is a need to acquire detailed information on spatial extension and temporal trends.</p><p>In the past, we have successfully applied a semi-automatic method using an object-based image analysis (OBIA) framework with high-resolution aerial images (0.25-0.5m) and a digital terrain model (2m) to map erosion features in the Central Swiss Alps (Urseren Valley, Canton Uri, Switzerland). Degraded sites are classified according to the major erosion process (shallow landslides; sites with reduced vegetation cover affected by sheet erosion) or triggering factors (trampling by livestock; management effects) (Zweifel et al. 2019). We now aim to apply a deep learning (DL) model with the purpose of fast and efficient spatial upscaling(e.g., alpine-wide analysis). While OBIA yields high quality results, there are multiple constraints, such as labor-intensive steps and the requirement of expert knowledge, which make the method unsuitable for larger scale applications. The results of OBIA are used as a training dataset for our DL model. The DL approach uses fully-convolutional networks with the U-Net architecture and is capable of rapid segmentation and classification to identify areas with reduced vegetation cover and bare soil sites.</p><p>Results for the Urseren Valley (Canton Uri, Switzerland) show an increase in total area affected by soil degradation of 156 ±18% during a 16-year observation period (2000-2016). A comparison of the two methods (OBIA and DL) shows that DL results for the Urseren Valley follow similar trends for the 16-year period and that the segmentations of eroded sites are in good agreement (IoU = 0.83). First transferability tests to other valleys not considered during training of the DL model are very promising, confirming that DL is a well-suited and efficient method for future projects to map and assess soil erosion processes in grassland areas at regional scales.</p><p> </p><p><strong>References</strong></p><p>L.

Indonesia has many types of unique and rare landforms, one of which is sand dunes, which is located in Parangtritis. Sand dune has the main function as a conservation area, natural wall for the tsunami disaster, water catchment area, and habitat for sand dune flora and fauna. However, the existence of sand dunes is currently threatened with extinction due to the decrease in their area, which is caused by changes in land use. Every year, the land use in the Parangtritis sand dune changes. Therefore, it is important to map land use changes to determine the changes that occur in the sand dune core zone. This study aims to map land use change in the core zone of sand dunes using small format aerial images and the OBIA (Object-Based Image Analysis) method. Land use in the study area is classified into nine classes, namely sand dunes, dry land forest, shrubs, coastal shoals, open field, built-up area and settlements, dry land agricultural fields, roads, and fishponds. The results showed that there were changes in all land use classes. Based on the accuracy assessment, the overall accuracy for 2020 was 68.95%, while the classification results for 2015 were 61.81%.Keywords: land use changes, OBIA, Small Format Aerial PhotographyIndonesia memiliki banyak jenis bentuklahan yang unik dan langka, salah satunya adalah gumuk pasir yang terletak di wilayah Parangtritis, Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta. Gumuk pasir memiliki fungsi utama sebagai kawasan konservasi, tembok alami bencana tsunami, kawasan resapan air, serta habitat untuk flora fauna gumuk pasir. Namun, keberadaan gumuk pasir saat ini terancam punah oleh adanya penurunan luasannya, yang disebabkan oleh perubahan penggunaan lahan. Setiap tahun, penggunaan lahan di gumuk pasir Parangtritis mengalami perubahan, yang akhirnya menyebabkan luasan gumuk pasir selalu berkurang setiap tahunnya. Oleh karena itu, pemetaan perubahan penggunaan lahan penting untuk dilakukan untuk mengetahui perubahan yang terjadi di zona inti gumuk pasir. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memetakan perubahan penggunaan lahan di zona inti gumuk pasir menggunakan foto udara format kecil dan metode OBIA (Object-Based Image Analysis). Penggunaan lahan di wilayah kajian diklasifikasikan menjadi sembilan kelas yaitu gumuk pasir, hutan lahan kering, semak belukar, beting pantai, lahan terbuka, lahan terbangun dan permukiman, ladang, jalan dan tambak. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya perubahan pada semua kelas penggunaan lahan. Berdasarkan uji akurasi, akurasi keseluruhan (overall accuracy) hasil klasifikasi penggunaan lahan tahun 2020 sebesar 68,95%, sedangkan hasil klasifikasi penggunaan lahan tahun 2015 sebesar 61,81%.Kata kunci: Perubahan Penggunaan Lahan, OBIA, Foto Udara Format Kecil
