The correlation analysis between urbanization phenomena and landuse change in Jakarta Special Province

Abstract

The population of Jakarta Special Province continues to grow, most significantly after the 1960s, causing an increase of population density. The expanding population has been stimulating the development of the province, reflecting the rising demand of the population including land. Eventually, it influences the urbanization process and affects the dynamic of land utilization in Jakarta. This research is aimed to understand the correlation between urbanization phenomena and landuse change in Jakarta Special Province. The research implements the utilization of statistics, topographic map, and remote sensing data as well. The satellite image (Sentinel-2 Imagery) was used to determine urban area and non urban area which then describes the land urbanization level. During 3 years, Jakarta has experienced landuse change especially in residential area, green open space, and industrial area. In 2017, the urban area covered 76.89 percent of Jakarta’s land and the coverage increased into 78.35 percent in 2019. Land urbanization level raised from 77.16 percent into 78.03 percent which means that roughly 77 percent to 78 percent of land in Jakarta has been urbanized.
