Analysis of land use in the Banyuasin district using the image Landsat 8 by NDVI method

Land use is one important factor in the planning of infrastructure development. The development that does not consider land use may cause an impact to environmental degradation. In minimizing the time and costs, the introduction of land use in an area could be done with remote sensing technology, one of the methods that could be used is the Normalized Different Vegetation Index (NDVI). NDVI is a combination of a multi-spectral band by using a wavelength Red and Near Infra-Red (NIR) on image Landsat 8 to estimate the vegetation cover. Than each classification of vegetation density will provide the reflectance value. In this study, the land cover classification result based on vegetation density by NDVI method, namely 0.5120 – 0.3706 for the low-density vegetation area; 0.3706 – 0.6149 for the moderate density vegetation area; and 0.6149 – 0.8677 for the high-density vegetation area. While the overall accuracy percentage of land use classification was 80%.
