Abstract

The occurrence of changes in land cover in a watershed area cannot be separated from human activities that occur in it. The rate of population growth and development goes hand in hand with the increasing needs of the community for land use in a watershed. The occurrence of changes in land cover in a watershed area cannot be separated from human activities that occur in it. The rate of population growth and development goes hand in hand with the increasing needs of the community for land use in a watershed. This study aims to determine how land cover changes occurred in the Ake Welwalesele Sub Watershed of the Ake Kobe Watershed in the periods 2002, 2013, and 2022, as well as to determine the factors that influence land cover changes in the Ake Welwalesele Sub Watershed of the Ake Kobe Watershed. The method used in analyzing land cover changes in the Ake Welwalesle Sub-Watershed is to combine remote sensing techniques (desk analysis) and field identification to determine the suitability of desk analysis results and conditions in the field.The results showed that in the period of 2002 there were 7 (seven) classes of land cover in the Ake Welwalesele Sub Watershed, namely Secondary Forest, Mangrove Forest, Mixed Agriculture, Shrub, Transmigration, Open Land, and Water Body. Meanwhile, in 2013, there were 8 classes of land cover, namely Secondary Forest, Mangrove Forest, Mixed Agriculture, Bush/Shrub, Mining, Transmigration, Open Land, and Water Body. Meanwhile, in 2022, there are 9 (nine) land cover classes, namely Secondary Forest, Mangrove Forest, Mixed Agriculture, Bush/Shrub, Transmigration, Open Land, Water Body, Mining, and Settlement. These results show that there was an increase in land cover classes in each observation period
