Land Use Changes Analysis in Jakarta Bay Coastal Area Between 1998, 2008 and 2018

Abstract

As the national capital and one of the largest cities in the world, environmental conditions and land use in Jakarta have changed a lot in the last twenty years. Economic growth and high population growth in Jakarta have resulted in massive development of infrastructure and residential areas in Jakarta. Economic growth and an increase in population are become problems, especially with the decreasing of green areas due to the development process carried out without paying attention to the surrounding environment. Environmental problems such as water pollution, land subsidence, coastal erosion and flooding often occur in the Jakarta area, especially in the coastal areas of North Jakarta. The research from 1998 to 2018 show that from the observations area of mangrove land cover has increased by 79 hectares during that period. The same trend applied on area of built and open land that increased by 292 hectares and 887 hectares respectively. Meanwhile, the area of land for vegetation, water bodies, and fishpond has decreased from 1998 to 2018 by 393 hectares, 797 hectares and 309 hectares respectively. Development and reclamation have changed land use in the Northern area of Jakarta. However, it is also necessary to pay attention to the impact of development on environmental and social conditions in the North Jakarta area.

Insights from 30 Years of Land Use/Land Cover Transitions in Jakarta, Indonesia, via Intensity Analysis

“…A trading hub for European countries engaged in the Asian spice trade was subsequently established. In Sunda Kelapa, the Dutch Trading Company for Asia and India opened a trading office that renamed the region Batavia [70]. Over the past three decades, Jakarta experienced significant changes in both land use and environmental circumstances.…”

Spatial information on the rate of subsidence in North Coastal Area of Java and the estimation of inundation in 2031

“…One of the environmental problems is the decrease in groundwater level that occurs in the area, which causes problems such as flooding, damage to settlements, and others [3]. Other environmental problems are shoreline changes [1], mangrove damage [4], erosion [5], sedimentation [6], abrasion [7], sea level rise [8], population growth [9], changes in coastal structure [10], and land cover changes [11].…”
