Spatial Model of Deforestation in Kalimantan from 2000 to 2013
Abstrac: tForestry sector is
the biggest carbon emission contributor in Indonesia which is mainly caused by
deforestation. In Kalimantan island one
of the largest island in Indonesia has a significant area of forest cover still
can be found although an alarming rates deforestation is also exist. This study
was purposed to established spatial model of deforestation in Kalimantan
island. This information is expected to provide options to develop sustainable
forest management in Kalimantan trought optimizing environment and
socio-economic purposes. This study used time-series land cover data from the
Ministry of Environment and Forestry (2000 – 2013) and is validated by SPOT 5/6
images in 2013. The spatial model of deforestation were developed using binary
logistic. The results of logistic regression analysis obtained spatial model of
deforestation in Kalimantan = 1.1480714 – (0.033262*slope) –
(0.002242*elevation) – (0.000413*distance from forest edge) + (0.000045*Gross
Regional Domestic Product). Validation test showed overall accuracy about
79.64% and 77.01% for models of deforestation in 2000–2006 and 2006–2013
respectively.
