1.6. Thesis Output

Several output of this research are: 1 A model simulation to support decision related to projection population and to know spatial distribution pattern of urban growth in Bandung area. 2 Alternative maps based on scenario created to predict spatial distribution of built-up area.

1.7. Thesis Structure

The thesis was organized into three chapters. The first chapter describes introduction chapter includes: 1 Background, 2 Research objective 3 Scope . limitation and assumption of research 4 Time and study area of research, 5 General of Research Methodology, 6 Thesis Output and 7 Structure of Thesis document. Generally, the result and analyze from this research activity are described in chapter 2 and chapter 3. In the second chapter, analysis of markov chain change detection and driving forces of urban growth in Bandung area was analyzed and discussed. Data processing using various statistics methods and spatial analysis technique in GIS have been applied to derive the data input into the development model. Population projection and it’s relation with demand of built-up area, multicriteria evaluation of driving forces and determine of landuse conversion priority using markov change detection were applied in this data processing and was used as an information and data input in system configuration and development of urban growth simulation model. The Third chapter describes development of urban growth simulation model, calibration and validation of the model. In this research, two scenarios were applied in urban growth cellular automata simulation model to calibrate the model. Validation using accuracy assessments with error matrix and kappa coefficient were applied to validate the best of scenario result. Finally, general conclusion and recommendation are drawn in fourth chapter as last chapter of this research. 9

II. ANALYSIS OF MARKOV CHANGE DETECTION AND

DRIVING FORCES OF URBAN GROWTH DEVELOPMENT IN BANDUNG AREA DURING 1991 - 2007

2.1. Introduction

2.1.1. Background

Driving forces and constrains are the keys factors in the urban growth development context. Driving forces can be defined as causes or factors influence for urban growth modeling. In this research, slope, road network, Neighbourhood effect and Urban Hierarchy Index were selected as a driving forces input in modeling of urban growth development in Bandung Area. Whereas, protected forest, slope greater than 15 , open green space and water body were selected as a constraints factor in this study area. Furthermore, trend of priority conversion between each landcover type into built-up area during 1991 – 2007 in Bandung area was analyzed using markov chain change detection technique. The analysis result from this processing were used as an information and data input in system configuration and development of urban growth simulation model.

2.1.2. Objective

The objectives of this study is to define and analyze driving forces of urban growth and landcover priority conversion using markov chain change detection in Bandung Area during 1991 - 2007.

2.2. Literature Review

2.2.1. Urban Growth and Urban Sprawl

Urban growth indicates a transformation of the vacant land or natural environment to the construction of urban fabrics including residential, industrial and infrastructure development, it mostly happened in the fringe urban areas. Urban expansions are driven by population growth, social economic development.
