THE UTILIZATION OF REMOTE SENSING DATA TO SUPPORT GREEN OPEN SPACE MAPPING IN JAKARTA, INDONESIA
Full text linkGreen open space becomes critical in maintaining the balance of the environment and improving the quality of urban living for a healthy life. The use of remote sensing data for calculation of green open space has been done notably using NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) method from Landsat 8 and SPOT data. This research aims to calculate the accuracy of the green open space classification from multispectral data of Landsat 8 and SPOT 6 using the NDVI methods. Green open space could be assessed from the value NDVI. The value of NDVI generated from Landsat 8 and SPOT 6’s Red and NIR channels. The accuracy of NDVI values is then examined by comparing with Pleiades data. Pleiades data which has 50 cm panchromatic resolution and 2 m multispectral with 4 bands (B, G, R, NIR) can precisely visualize objects. So, it can be used as the reference in the calculation of the green open space based on NDVI. The results of the accuracy testing of Landsat 8 and SPOT 6 image could be used to identify the green open space by using NDVI SPOT of 6 can increase the accuracy of 5.36% from Landsat 8
DETECTING DEFORMATION DUE TO THE 2018 MERAPI VOLCANO ERUPTION USING INTERFEROMETRIC SYNTHETIC APERTURE RADAR (INSAR) FROM SENTINEL-1 TOPS
Full text linkThis paper describes the application of Sentinel-1 TOPS (Terrain Observation with Progressive Scans), the latest generation of SAR satellite imagery, to detect displacement of the Merapi volcano due to the May–June 2018 eruption. Deformation was detected by measuring the vertical displacement of the surface topography around the eruption centre. The Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) technique was used to measure the vertical displacement. Furthermore, several Landsat-8 Thermal Infra Red Sensor (TIRS) imageries were used to confirm that the displacement was generated by the volcanic eruption. The increasing temperature of the crater was the main parameter derived using the Landsat-8 TIRS, in order to determine the increase in volcanic activity. To understand this phenomenon, we used Landsat-8 TIRS acquisition dates before, during and after the eruption. The results show that the eruption in the May–June 2018 period led to a small negative vertical displacement. This vertical displacement occurred in the peak of volcano range from -0.260 to -0.063 m. The crater, centre of eruption and upper slope of the volcano experienced negative vertical displacement. The results of the analysis from Landsat-8 TIRS in the form of an increase in temperature during the 2018 eruption confirmed that the displacement detected by Sentinel-1 TOPS SAR was due to the impact of volcanic activity. Based on the results of this analysis, it can be seen that the integration of SAR and thermal optical data can be very useful in understanding whether deformation is certain to have been caused by volcanic activity
VARIABILITY OF SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURE (SST) AND CHLOROPHYLL-A (CHL-A) CONCENTRATIONS IN THE EASTERN INDIAN OCEAN DURING THE PERIOD 2002–2017
Full text linkWe analysed the variability of sea surface temperature (SST) and chlorophyll-a concentration (Chl-a) in the eastern Indian Ocean (EIO). We used monthly mean Chl-a and SST data with a 4-km spatial resolution derived from Level-3 Aqua Moderate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) distributed by the Asia-Pacific Data-Research Center (APDRC) for the period 2002–2017. Wavelet analysis shows the annual and interannual variability of SST and Chl-a concentration in the EIO. The annual variability of SST and Chl-a is influenced by monsoon systems. During a southeast monsoon, SST falls while Chl-a increases due to upwelling. The annual variability of SST and Chl-a is also influenced by the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD). During positive phases of the IOD (2006, 2012 and 2015), there was more intense upwelling in the EIO caused by the negative anomaly of SST and the positive anomaly of Chl-a concentration
OBSERVING THE INUNDATED AREA USING LANDSAT-8 MULTITEMPORAL IMAGES AND DETERMINATION OF FLOOD-PRONE AREA IN BANDUNG BASIN
Full text linkFlood is the most frequent hydro-meteorological disaster in Indonesia. Flood disasters in the Bandung basin result from increasing population density, especially in the Citarum riverbank area, accompanied by land use changes in upstream of the Citarum catchment area which has disrupted the river’s function. One of the basic issues that need to be investigated is which areas of the Bandung basin are prone to flooding. This study offers an effective and efficient method of mapping flood-prone areas based on flood events that have occurred in the past through the use of historical remote sensing image data. In this research, Landsat-8 imagery was used to observe the inundated area in the Bandung basin in the past (2014–2018) using an improved algorithm, the modified normalized water index (MNDWI). The results of the study show that MNDWI is the appropriate parameter to be used to detect flooded areas in the Bandung basin area that have heterogeneous land surface conditions. The flood-prone area was determined based on flood events for 2014 to 2018, identified as inundated areas in the images. The estimation of the flood-prone area in the Bandung basin is 11,886.87 ha. Most of the flood-prone areas are in the subdistricts of Rancaekek, Bojongsoang, Solokan Jeruk, Ciparay, Cileunyi, Bale Endah and Cikancung. This area geographically or naturally is a water habitat area. Therefore, if the area will be used for residential, this will have consequences that flood will always be a threat to the area.Â
BATHYMETRY EXTRACTION FROM SPOT 7 SATELLITE IMAGERY USING RANDOM FOREST METHODS
Full text linkThe scope of this research is the application of the random forest method to SPOT 7 data to produce bathymetry information for shallow waters in Indonesia. The study aimed to analyze the effect of base objects in shallow marine habitats on estimating bathymetry from SPOT 7 satellite imagery. SPOT 7 satellite imagery of the shallow sea waters of Gili Matra, West Nusa Tenggara Province was used in this research. The estimation of bathymetry was carried out using two in-situ depth-data modifications, in the form of a random forest algorithm used both without and with benthic habitats (coral reefs, seagrass, macroalgae, and substrates). For bathymetry estimation from SPOT 7 data, the first modification (without benthic habitats) resulted in a 90.2% coefficient of determination (R2) and 1.57 RMSE, while the second modification (with benthic habitats) resulted in an 85.3% coefficient of determination (R2) and 2.48 RMSE. This research showed that the first modification achieved slightly better results than the second modification; thus, the benthic habitat did not significantly influence bathymetry estimation from SPOT 7 imagery
THE USE OF C-BAND SYNTHETIC APERTURE RADAR SATELLITE DATA FOR RICE PLANT GROWTH PHASE IDENTIFICATION
Full text linkIdentification of the rice plant growth phase is an important step in estimating the harvest season and predicting rice production. It is undertaken to support the provision of information on national food availability. Indonesia’s high cloud coverage throughout the year means it is not possible to make optimal use of optical remote sensing satellite systems. However, the Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) remote sensing satellite system is a promising alternative technology for identifying the rice plant growth phase since it is not influenced by cloud cover and the weather. This study uses multi-temporal C-Band SAR satellite data for the period May–September 2016. VH and VV polarisation were observed to identify the rice plant growth phase of the Ciherang variety, which is commonly planted by farmers in West Java. Development of the rice plant growth phase model was optimized by obtaining samples spatially from a rice paddy block in PT Sang Hyang Seri, Subang, in order to acquire representative radar backscatter values from the SAR data on the age of certain rice plants. The Normalised Difference Polarisation Index (NDPI) and texture features, namely entropy, homogeneity and the Grey-Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) mean, were included as the samples. The results show that the radar backscatter value (σ0) of VH polarisation without the texture feature, with the entropy texture feature and GLCM mean texture feature respectively exhibit similar trends and demonstrate potential for use in identifying and monitoring the rice plant growth phase. The rice plant growth phase model without texture feature on VH polarisation is revealed as the most suitable model since it has the smallest average error
PRELIMINARY STUDY OF LSU-02 PHOTO DATA APPLICATION TO SUPPORT 3D MODELING OF TSUNAMI DISASTER EVACUATION MAP
Full text linkThe southern coast of Pacitan Regency is one of the vulnerable areas to the tsunami. Therefore, the map of the vulnerable and safe area from the tsunami disaster is required. Currently, there are many mapping technologies with UAVs used for spatial analysis. One of the UAV technologies which used in this research is LAPAN Surveillance UAV 02 (LSU-02). This study aims to map the evacuation plan area from LSU-02 aerial imagery. Tsunami evacuation area was identified by processing the aerial photo data into orthomosaic and Digital Elevation Model (DEM). The result shows that there are four points identified as the tsunami evacuation plan area. These points are located higher than the surrounding area and are easily accessible
CAN THE PEAT THICKNESS CLASSES BE ESTIMATED FROM LAND COVER TYPE APPROACH?
Full text linkIndonesia has been known as a home of the tropical peatlands. The peatlands are mainly in Sumatera, Kalimantan and Papua Islands. Spatial information on peatland depth is needed for the planning of agricultural land extensification. The research objective was to develop a preliminary estimation model of peat thickness classes based on land cover approach and analyse its applicability using Landsat 8 image. Ground data, including land cover, location and thickness of peat, were obtained from various surveys and peatlands potential map (Geology Map and Wetlands Peat Map). The land cover types were derived from Landsat 8 image. All data were used to build an initial model for estimating peat thickness classes in Merauke Regency. A table of relationships among land cover types, peat potential areas and peat thickness classes were made using ground survey data and peatlands potential maps of that were best suited to ground survey data. Furthermore, the table was used to determine peat thickness classes using land cover information produced from Landsat 8 image. The results showed that the estimated peat thickness classes in Merauke Regency consist of two classes, i.e., very shallow peatlands and shallow peatlands. Shallow peatlands were distributed at the upper part of Merauke Regency with mainly covered by forest. In comparison with Indonesia Peatlands Map, the number of classes was the two classes. The spatial distribution of shallow peatlands was relatively similar for its precision and accuracy, but the estimated area of shallow peatlands was greater than the area of shallow peatlands from Indonesia Peatlands Map. This research answered the question that peat thickness classes could be estimated by the land cover approach qualitatively. The precise estimation of peat thickness could not be done due to the limitation of insitu data. Â
SPATIAL PROJECTION OF LAND USE AND ITS CONNECTION WITH URBAN ECOLOGY SPATIAL PLANNING IN THE COASTAL CITY, CASE STUDY IN MAKASSAR CITY, INDONESIA
Full text linkThe arrangement of coastal ecological space in the coastal city area aims to ensure the sustainability of the system, the availability of local natural resources, environmental health and the presence of the coastal ecosystems. The lack of discipline in the supervision and implementation of spatial regulations resulted in inconsistencies between urban spatial planning and land use facts. This study aims to see the inconsistency between spatial planning of the city with the real conditions in the field so it can be used as an evaluation material to optimize the planning of the urban space in the future. This study used satellite image interpretation, spatial analysis, and projection analysis using markov cellular automata, as well as consistency evaluation for spatial planning policy. The results show that there has been a significant increase of open spaces during 2001-2015 and physical development was relatively spreading irregularly and indicated the urban sprawl phenomenon. There has been an open area deficits for the green open space in 2015-2031, such as integrated maritime, ports, and warehousing zones. Several islands in Makassar City are predicted to have their built-up areas decreased, especially in Lanjukang Island, Langkai Island, Kodingareng Lompo Island, Bone Tambung Island, Kodingareng Keke Island and Samalona Island. Meanwhile, the increase of the built up area is predicted to occur in Lumu Island, Barrang Caddi Island, Barrang Lompo Island, Lae-lae Island, and Kayangan Island. The land cover is caused by the human activities. Many land conversions do not comply with the provision of percentage of green open space allocation in the integrated strategic areas, established in the spatial plan. Thus, have the potential of conflict in the spatial plan of marine and small islands in Makassar City
