ANALISIS INFILTRASI BERBAGAI UNIT LAHAN YANG BERBEDA PADA SUB DAS BANYU IRANG DAS MALUKA

The purpose of this study is to analyze the infiltration rate in land units with different types of land cover in the Banyu Irang Sub Watershed in the Maluka Watershed. Analyzing the volume and infiltration capacity of land units with different types of land cover in the Banyu Irang watershed in the Maluka Watershed. The method used in this research is the Horton method. Factors affecting infiltration are soil texture, soil bulk density, total soil porosity, soil organic matter, and soil moisture content. The results of the study show the value of the rate, volume dan capacity of infiltration, where the highest infiltration rate is found in the secondary forest land cover with a value of 145,5 mm/hr on land unit 19 with slope grade between 0-8% and the lowest infiltration rate is found in alang-alang (reeds) land cover with a value of 3,0 mm/hr on land units 32 with slope grade between 15-25%. The highest infiltration capacity and volume occurred in secondary forest land cover with a value of 83,490 mm/hr in land units 19. The lowest infiltration capacity and volume occurs in alang-alang (reeds) land cover with a value of 0,787 mm/hr on land units 1 and 0,846 mm/hr on land units 1.

Fragmentation Typology of Sumatran Tropical Lowland Forest, Labuhanbatu Selatan - Indonesia

Forest land cover experienced changes caused by various factors. Deforestation and forest degradation decreased forest structure and size that produce forest fragmentation. This study aimed to determine spatial distribution patterns and typology of forest fragmentation in the Labuhanbatu Selatan district. The study uses land cover image analysis, forest fragmentation analysis, correlation analysis, and typology analysis. Forest fragmentation is determined based on patch area (CA), patch density (PD), contiguity index (CONTIG), and proximity index (PROX). The study analyzes the correlation between variable factors and the degrees of forest fragmentation to develop a typology of fragmentation forest. The variables used to construct the typology of forest fragmentation are population density, productive age ratio, income, and slope. The classification of forest fragmentation has been completed to create a forest fragmentation typology. To determine the typology of forest fragmentation, the K-Means Cluster analysis method is used. Typology of forests fragmentation of Labuhanbatu Selatan district is three typologies. Typology 1 is the low forest fragmentation of Torgamba, Silangkitang, and Kota Pinang sub-district, typology 2 is moderate forest fragmentation are the Kampung Rakyat, and Typology 3 is high forest fragmentation of Sungai Kanan sub-district.

LAND COVER CHANGE ANALYSIS IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA USING NLCD DATA

Land cover change is critical to be monitored as land cover change has significant impacts on flooding, ground water recharge, and urban air temperature. In this paper, key findings from a land cover change analysis study performed in the State of California are presented. National Land Cover Database (NLCD) data from the Multi-Resolution Land Characteristics Consortium (MRLC) was used for this study. Time series of NLCD data during the time period of 2001 through 2016 was used for the analysis. NLCD data processing was done in ArcMap 10.6.1. This paper includes the methodology in detail, and the results of the analysis. Results of the study indicate a significant increase in impervious surfaces, and a significant decrease in forest land cover.

PERUBAHAN TUTUPAN LAHAN DI HUTAN KEMASYARAKATAN GAPOKTAN JAYA LESTARI PROVINSI LAMPUNG

The research, which was conducted at the Gapoktan HKm Jaya Lestari at the Bukit Punggur KPH, aimed to find out changes in land cover in the HKm work area in 2000, 2009 and 2017, and to determine the effect of the implementation of the HKm program on the condition of forest cover in these locations. This research data analysis used Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Image data analysis includes analysis of land changes carried out by identifying changes in objects in different images at the study site. The extent of each class was calculated from all image data series (2000, 2009 and 2017), then interpretation through descriptive data analysis. Based on the results of this study, the period 2000-2009 added the largest area of land cover in the Secondary Dry Land Forest (Hs) class (1.34% to 83.56%). The addition occurred due to a decreasing in the area of dryland agriculture cover (Pt) 55.48%, Open land (T) 12.91%, Primary dry land forest (Hp) 6.57%, Settlement (Pm) 4.95%, and shrubs (B) 2.34%. The 2009-2017 period of forest land cover which experienced the biggest change was the secondary dryland forest class (Hs), which experienced a decrease in area (83.56% to 46.08%) then primary dryland forest (HP) 7.06%, compared to inverted with settlement class (Pm) which increased 2.69%, followed by shrubs (B) 24.71%, open land (T) 20.56%, and dry land Agriculture (Pt) 3.54%. This provides an important finding and is based on the results of scientific analysis that the land cover in the form of forest trees in the area of Gapoktan management is reduced after the IUP-HKm is accepted by the community. It can be seen from the amount of additional cover in the form of shrubs, settlements and open land. Based on these conditions it is necessary to make efforts to improve the management system of HKm Gapoktan Lestari Jaya area through an agroforestry program.

CONTRIBUTION INDEX OF LAND COVER AND LAND SURFACE TEMPERATURE CHANGES IN UPPER HILL NAIROBI, KENYA

Urban heat island is the difference in thermal temperature between rural and urban areas. The urbanization process alters the material type with impervious surfaces being absorbers of incoming radiation during the day and emitting it at night. The research involved the use of time-series satellite imagery from Sentinel, Landsat, ASTER and MODIS for the period 1986, 1995, 2000, 2005, 2011, 2015 and 2017 over the Upper Hill, Nairobi. Morning, afternoon and night land surface temperatures (LST) were calculated for each of these years and analyzed together with the land cover. The mean albedo was calculated to determine the relationship between each land cover and mean LST. The contribution index was calculated to determine whether a land contributed positively or negatively to the mean LST in Upper Hill. Results indicated that built-up land cover had increased from 1986 to 2017 by 0.86% per annum while forest land cover had decreased by 0.99% per annum. Sparse grassland had higher albedo and LST values of 0.81 and 27.9 °C respectively, whereas water had lower albedo and LST values of 0.09 and 25.1 °C. Water had the lowest mean LST during the day but highest mean LST in the afternoon and night in each of the years due to its high thermal capacity. Bare ground tends to have a higher contribution index compared to other land covers, while forest land cover has a negative contribution index, indicating the impact land cover types have on LST and the urban heat island effect.

Impact of Urbanization on Large Wood Sizes and Associated Recruitment Zones

Although the presence of large wood (LW) has long been recognized to enhance watershed function, land use impact on LW remains poorly understood. Using a series of six watersheds, we investigate the relationships between LW recruitment zones, LW size, and LW jam occurrence and land use. Although the results in general show urban land use to severely limit LW, they also stress that agricultural land use may be positively correlated to LW. Occurrence of potentially productive LW recruitment zones is nevertheless best correlated to total forest land cover and forested riparian area. However, the lack of mature forest due to previous widespread deforestation linked to historical agricultural land use is likely a limiting legacy effect. Since the pattern of land use seen in the study area is typical of much of the developed world, our results suggest the limiting of LW may be a major way in which watersheds are impacted in many regions. Accordingly, reintroduction of LW represents a significant opportunity to restore watersheds on a broad scale. Specifically, we propose a mix of passive conservation and active restoration of LW sources and that the targeting of these tactics be planned using the spatial analysis methods of this study.
