Modeling Land Use Change Using GIS and Logit Model

Abstract

Rapid urbanization in Jabotabek has caused serious environmental problem, including land use conversion. Therefore, it’s necessary to determine the land use change pattern in Jabotabek by using GIS and Remote Sensing techniques. The advantage of remote sensing data are repetitive, real time and in digital format allowing for quantitative approach. Te objectives of this research is was to study temporal change and spatial distribution of land cover, by comparing the data from Landsat of Jabotabek in 1992 and 2001. This research was carried out in 3 stages: remote sensing data processing, GIS analysis and modeling. Analysis using logit model showed that the factors which influenced land use change to urban are: distance from CBD, slope and altitude of area.
