ANALISIS PERUBAHAN LUAS LAHAN MANGROVE DI KABUPATEN POHUWATO PROPINSI GORONTALO DENGAN MENGGUNAKAN CITRA LANDSAT
ABSTRACT: A study on spatial
evaluation of mangrove resource was carried out in Pohuwato Regency, the
province of Gorontalo, for 3 months. The mangrove resources in this area have
been exploited to build ponds, houses and for firewood. As the result, there
was a significant decrease in mangrove population. In this study, main data
were gathered from Landsat TM Satellite Image 2000-2001 and 2009-2010, and
others data collected from the field and interviews with local villagers.
Aproximately 60 sampling points were observed and examined. Normalized
Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) was applied to determine the extent of
mangroves and its changes. In 2000-2001, the mangrove area was about 7,007.67
Ha, and reduced to 3,034.53 Ha in 2009-2010.
