Abstract

Lake Kerinci is one of the 15 national priority lakes. In general, residents in this area carry out agricultural or plantation activities without applying conservation principles, resulting in a decrease in the carrying capacity of the Catchment Area (DTA). In addition, DTA Lake Kerinci has also experienced an increase in population, thus encouraging land-use changes. This study aims to analyze land-use changes in DTA Lake Kerinci. Analysis of land-use change analysis uses Landsat imagery 5 TM for 2009 and Landsat imagery 8 OLI-TIRS for 2019 using the guided classification method (Maximum Likelihood Classification/MLC). The accuracy of the image interpretation results is carried out through the Kappa accuracy test. Interpretation of land-use imagery and classification have relatively high accuracy with a kappa value of 78.67% (good) on land use in 2009, 83.30% (almost perfect) on land use in 2019, with an average Kappa Accuracy (KA) of 79.63%. Land-use changes in Lake Kerinci DTA for the 2009-2019 period experienced a significant increase in the area of dry agricultural land by 13% or 13,151.05 ha and a decrease in primary forest area by 6.76% or 6,834.13 ha.
