3 2 To develop model capable of representing spatial distribution pattern of
urban growth in Bandung area using integration of GIS and Cellular Automata Modelling.
3 To generate alternative scenario was implemented in urban CA simulation model.
1.3. Scope, Limitation and Assumption of Research
Scope, limitation and assumption of this research are: 1 Study area as a boundary of system in this research is Bandung area,
including : Bandung Municipality, Bandung Regency, Cimahi Municipality and West Bandung Regency
2 Integration of GIS and Cellular Automata was applied to achieve the goal from this research.
3 In the realiality of urban development, natural hazard can be added as a constrain factor. In this research natural hazard d
idn’t included in modeling of urban growth. Slope effect can be assumed as a factor related to natural
hazard assessment.
1.4. Time and Study Area of Research
This research was conducted from August 2009 until December 2010, including data
preparation, data processing and make a final report in MIT Laboratory, Bogor - West Java. Meanwhile, data collecting was taken in Bandung
– West java. The study area is Bandung Area which located in region of West Java Province.
Recently, Bandung Area can be divided into four regions, there are Bandung
Municipality, Bandung Regency, Cimahi Municipality and West Bandung Regency as shown in Figure 1.1. Geographically, it is located between 107
22 ’– 108
,53 ’ east
longitude and 6 ,
41’ – 7 ,19’ east longitude.
Topographically, The highland point area in the north is 1.050 m and the lowland in the south, which elevation 675 m above sea level. The land in South Bandung until the
line of grade crossing. The land is relatively flat, meanwhile the north part is mountainous where one could see Bandung shape and gaze at the whole city panorama. Geological
condition and soil in Bandung city area have alluvial soil layer from. Tangkuban Perahu
4 mount explosion. The kind of materials in the north generally andosol in the south and
east consist of greey alluvial with clay sediment while in central and west scattered andosol.
Figure 1.1 Research of Study Area. The climate of Bandung mostly influenced by the mountains, so that the
weather is humid and cool. Nowadays, a change to weather occurs. The temperature average extremely rose, which in October 2009 the temperature reach
out 31, 6 C. That phenomena mainly caused by air pollution from motor cycle
and global heat. Even that so, the average of rainfall frequency is still high.
