2.2. Land-use Land cover change
Trend of land use changes taken place in Cikepuh wildlife reserves has close relation to the dynamics of the community for the time period of 1990 – 2002 Figure 15.8. In 1990 – 1997 period, forest land gradually
decreases but in the period of 1997 – 2002 the fall is very dramatic. On the contrary in the same period Agriculture land upland and paddy field grow rapidly. This phenomenon is probably related to the
multidimensional crisis happening in 1997-1998. In West Java after the Implementation of Regional Autonomy, there are uncertainty related to the Forest area management. It was reported that there is a
conflict between the Regional Government with Perhutani National Forest Estate who are managing Production and Protection Forest in Java. The Regional Government urge to manage the forest on behalf of
autonomy. Spatial distribution of land-use and land cover in 1990, 1997 and 2002 is presented in Figure 15.9 Figure
15.10 and Figure 15.11.

In the period of 1990 to 1997, and 1997 – 2002, forest conversion is mostly to fulfil wood needs. This can be

seen fro the dimension of land which is not taken care of in the form of bushes, grassland and bare land compared to the dimension of land use as cultivation areas Tables 15.6 and 15.7. However, in 1997-2002,
area for agriculture land increased significantly.
