Abstract

The purpose of this research was undertaken to identify the type of land covers and evaluate the use of forest area in Percut Watershed using Sentinel 2 satellite imagery. Image classification in this study was divided into 14 classes, namely forests, gardens, rice fields, oil palm, shrubs, open area, dryland agriculture, settlements, mangroves, ponds, clouds, and cloud shadows. The value of overall accuracy obtained is equal to 97.11%, while the kappa accuracy is 96.52%. The results of this accuracy test indicate that the land cover classification was acceptable. The dominant land cover in the Percut watershed is forests, gardens, settlements and oil palm plantations. The percentage of forest area in the Percut watershed is only 29.5%, below 30% of the minimum area of good watershed criteria. The land use that not in accordance with its ability wherein slopes above 45% were found as oil palm plantations
