- Abstract
The management of watersheds around Palu City is very complex, both in activities and land cover changes, reducing watersheds’ performance. The phenomenon of land cover change continues to develop, and spatial modeling of land cover change is needed to minimize interventions in the impact of growth and land needs in the Watershed Kawatuna area. The method uses land cover trend analysis from spatial analysis results using geoprocessing techniques in geographic information system (Quantum GIS) software. The performance of the Kawatuna Sub-Watershed is represented in the form.
of land cover changes with a mathematical trend model. Our findings indicate a decrease in performance in the Kawatuna Sub-Watershed, with a significant change in land cover from 1990 to 2021. The decline in forest land decreased to 30%, while the area of land cover that increased was shrubs-bushland by 50% and barren land by 7%. The government needs to improve the quality performance of the ecosystem in the Kawatuna Sub-Watershed so that environmental benefits can be maintained in meeting human needs.
