Mapping the distribution of natural ecosystems on peatlands through vegetation using the object-based image analysis (obia) method in bangko district, rokan hilir regency, riau.

Abstract

Expansion of the use of natural ecosystems on peatlands is increasing rapidly in Bangko District, Rokan Hilir Regency, Riau. This utilization tends to cause damage to the natural ecosystem of peatlands which has a major impact on the local environment (in situ) and the surrounding environment (ex situ), so a mapping is needed to detect the presence and ensure the distribution of the natural ecosystem of peatlands. This study aims to (1) map the distribution of natural ecosystems on peatlands through vegetation objects using Sentinel 2A and SPOT 7 using the OBIA method, (2) Compare the accuracy of Sentinel 2A and SPOT 7 in recognizing endemic vegetation types in natural ecosystems on peatlands with using the OBIA method. OBIA is used to detect the presence of peatlands, the detection is carried out through stretched endemic vegetation objects that grow in the natural ecosystem of peatlands. OBIA is carried out in three steps, namely Segmentation, Classification and Accuracy Test. In the classification process, building a ruleset is the key to interpreting the natural ecosystem of peatlands. The results obtained are (1) Sentinel 2A produces a more dominant distribution on the East, North and West edges while in the middle it tends to be less, the total area of natural peatland ecosystems in Sentinel 2A is 94,994 KM2. In the SPOT 7, the distribution of natural ecosystems of peatlands is more dominant in the eastern part while the western part tends to be small, the total distribution of natural ecosystems of peatlands in the SPOT 7 image is 281,443 KM2. (2) The accuracy rate of Sentinel 2A is 81.395% with an accuracy of 35 samples from a total of 43 samples of accuracy tests and SPOT 7 of 88.372% with an accuracy of 38 samples from a total of 43 samples of accuracy tests carried out.
