Abstract
This research was conducted to determine the flood distribution area in Pangkalan Koto Baru District. Using the Normalized Difference Sigma Index (NDSI) method. By using this remote sensing method, it is possible to identify the flood distribution areas in Pangkalan Koto Baru District on March 15 2017.
 In this study, the identification of flood distribution areas using Sentinel-1 satellite imagery data. The sentinel-1 image data needed is before the flood (20 February 2017) and at the time of the flood (15 March 2017). Furthermore, Sentinel-1 Image processing begins with a subset, some radiometric corrections and geometric corrections. The Normalized Difference Sigma Index (NDSI) method is used to identify the flood distribution which is then vectorized.
 The results of the study have taken that based on the results of flood analysis using the GIS technique the area identified as flooding in this study is 41561.172 Ha. In Nagari Tanjuang Pauah it is ± 2454.301 Ha, Nagari Tanjuang Balik is ± 2076.138 Ha, Nagari Pangkalan is ± 14765.141 Ha, Nagari Mangilang is ± 917.724 Ha, Nagari Koto Alam is ± 8361.579 Ha, and Nagari Gunuang Manggilang is ± 917.724 Ha.
