ABSTRAK
PERUBAHAN PENGGUNAAN LAHAN MENGGUNAKAN
DATA LIDAR DI KOTA DILI, TIMOR-LESTE
Kota Dili sebagai ibu kota Negara Timor-Leste, dengan penggunaan perubahan
lahan yang cukup pesat, sementara itu Kota Dili lahannya terbatas dan belum ada
rencana tata ruang kota. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk identifikasi perubahan

lahan pada tahun 2001-2014 dan klasifikasi penggunaan lahan secara detail tahun
2014. Metode penelitian ini memanfaatkan data Lidar (foto udara, 2014) dengan
digitasi dan pendekatan system informasi geografis (SIG), untuk data yang
digunakan adalah peta penggunaan lahan tahun 2001 dengan skala 1:50.000 dan
interpretasi foto aerial 2014. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukan di kota Dili selama
2001-2014 dari 5 klasifikasi sebagai berikut: peningkatan luas kawasan bukan
lahan pertanian (251.22 ha, 19.35%), untuk kawasan lahan yang berkurang yaitu
kawasan hijau (-140.17 ha, 24.34% ), kawasan pasir (-4.92 ha, 58.22%), Kawasan
pertanian (-47.97 ha , 54.14%), dan penyebaran pepohonan (58.16 ha, 1.87%).
Untuk hasil detail dari klasifikasi bukan lahan pertanian adalah pola pemukiman
(56.46 ha, 3.79%), kawasan kantor pemerintahan (9.17 ha, 0.61%), kawasan
pendidikan (56.46 ha, 3.64%), kawasan kesehatan (7.50 ha, 0.50%), kawasan
perdagangan dan jasa (15.90 ha, 1.07%), kawasan warisan sejarah (49.26 ha,
3.38%) dan pemukiman selama kemerdekaan (1,405.53 ha, 90.71%) Penyebab
dari perubahan lahan karena kota Dili sebagai ibu kota negara, pusat
pemerintahan, perdagangan dan jasa, pendidikan, pariwisata. Oleh karena itu
dengan memanfaatkan data Lidar dapat menidentifikasi perubahan penggunaan
lahan dan detail penggunaan lahan yang tidak sesuai pemanfaatannya dan
memberikan penataan yang lebih baik di masa yang akan datang.

ABSTRACT
LAND USE CHANGE DETECTION USING LIDAR
DATA IN DILI CITY, TIMOR-LESTE
Dili city as the capital of the State of Timor-Leste, with a fairly rapid land use
change, while in Dili city land is limited and there has been no the city spatial
plans. This study was conducted to identify land use change in 2001-2014 and
land use classification in detail in 2014. This research method used with digital
image to display on the screen and interpretation of aerial photographs in 2014 as
well as the approach of the geographical information system (GIS), for the data
used is the land use map in 2001 with a scale of 1:50,000. These results indicate
the city of Dili during in 2001-2014 for five classifications as follows: increase
the area of the settlement (251.22 ha, 19.35%), for the region decreased by a green
area (-140.17 ha, 2.344 %), sand area (-4.92 ha, 58.22%), agriculture land (-47.97
ha, 54.14 %), and scattered trees (-58.16 ha, 1.87%). The detailed results of the
classification are not agricultural land: settlement pattern (5.61 ha, 0.38 %),
government offices area (9.17 ha, 0.61%), education area (56.46 ha, 3.79%),
health area (7.50 ha, 0.50%), commerce and services area (15.90 ha, 1.07%),
historical heritages area (49.26 ha, 3.30%) as well as residencies area after
independence time (1,405.53 ha, 90.71%). The cause of the change of land for the
city of Dili, the state capital, the center of government, trade and services center,
an education center and a tourism center. Therefore, by utilizing Lidar data can
identify land use changes and land use detail not in accordance utilization and
provide arrangement in the future.

SUMMARY

LAND USE CHANGE DETECTION USING LIDAR
DATA IN DILI CITY, TIMOR-LESTE
Timor-Leste, as a new nation has experienced rapid development and
growth of urban population in the past few years. There are two things which
cause the resident come and lived in urban areas: pull factors and push factors.
Pull factor involves high level of service in urban public facilities, high income
levels, accessibilities, and size of opportunities to improve the self-identity. Push
factor of rural areas includes the low level of public services, low income, the
difficulty of economic development, and the reduction in productive agricultural
land as submitted. Dili is one of the cities in Timor-Leste that consists of 4 Subdistricts/Administrative post consisting of 22 villages.
This study is remote sensing (Lidar data) and geographic information
system (GIS) methods were employed. The identification and interpretation
manual can also be made to the digital image to display on the screen with the
GIS approach and map of land use in 2001 and also aerial photos in 2014, by five
categories. Remote Sensing and GIS can be processed and mapped according to
land use change (2001-2014) and detail classification land use in 2014. The data
used in this research are land use inventory map which was collected by The
relevant agencies such as the Ministry of Public Works (National Director of
Housing and Urban Planning), Ministry of Justice (National Land Agency),
Ministry of Energy Natural Resources (Institute of Petroleum and Geology),
Ministry of Education and reports of study of the Dili Urban Master Plan for the
city and several studies on land use performed by Universities, Private Institutions
and Government Agencies. With those mentioned above in mind, the objective of
this study are: (1) To identify the land use change and area in 2001-2014 using
Lidar data in Dili city.(2)To detect land use classification in 2014 using Lidar data
in Dili city.
The result of this research shown that based on the land use change, there
is an increased non-agriculture land by 251.22 ha (19.35%), decreased areas of
evergreens by (-) 140.17 ha (24.34%), sand area by (-) 4.92 ha (58.22%),
agriculture land by (-) 47.97 ha (54.14%) and scattered trees by (-) 58.16 ha
(1.87%). The detail classifications that are non-agricultural land are as follows:
settlement pattern area (5.61 ha, 0.38%), government office area (9.17 ha, 0.61%),
education area (56.46 ha, 3.79%), health area (7.50 ha, 0.50%), commerce and
services area (15.90 ha, 1.07%), historical heritages area (49.26 ha, 3.30%) and
residencies area after independence time 1,405.53 ha 90.71%)
To use Lidar data of 2014 is very important to identify land use change
and detail classification for the area of agriculture and non-agriculture land. Dili is
the capital of Timor-Leste. Therefore it needs rules, supervision and
comprehensive plan as well as improvements or arrangement in accordance with
the land use zoning.

DATA IN DILI CITY, TIMOR-LESTE
Timor-Leste, as a new nation has experienced rapid development and
growth of urban population in the past few years. There are two things which
cause the resident come and lived in urban areas: pull factors and push factors.
Pull factor involves high level of service in urban public facilities, high income
levels, accessibilities, and size of opportunities to improve the self-identity. Push
factor of rural areas includes the low level of public services, low income, the
difficulty of economic development, and the reduction in productive agricultural
land as submitted. Dili is one of the cities in Timor-Leste that consists of 4 Subdistricts/Administrative post consisting of 22 villages.
This study is remote sensing (Lidar data) and geographic information
system (GIS) methods were employed. The identification and interpretation
manual can also be made to the digital image to display on the screen with the
GIS approach and map of land use in 2001 and also aerial photos in 2014, by five
categories. Remote Sensing and GIS can be processed and mapped according to
land use change (2001-2014) and detail classification land use in 2014. The data
used in this research are land use inventory map which was collected by The
relevant agencies such as the Ministry of Public Works (National Director of
Housing and Urban Planning), Ministry of Justice (National Land Agency),
Ministry of Energy Natural Resources (Institute of Petroleum and Geology),
Ministry of Education and reports of study of the Dili Urban Master Plan for the
city and several studies on land use performed by Universities, Private Institutions
and Government Agencies. With those mentioned above in mind, the objective of
this study are: (1) To identify the land use change and area in 2001-2014 using
Lidar data in Dili city.(2)To detect land use classification in 2014 using Lidar data
in Dili city.
The result of this research shown that based on the land use change, there
is an increased non-agriculture land by 251.22 ha (19.35%), decreased areas of
evergreens by (-) 140.17 ha (24.34%), sand area by (-) 4.92 ha (58.22%),
agriculture land by (-) 47.97 ha (54.14%) and scattered trees by (-) 58.16 ha
(1.87%). The detail classifications that are non-agricultural land are as follows:
settlement pattern area (5.61 ha, 0.38%), government office area (9.17 ha, 0.61%),
education area (56.46 ha, 3.79%), health area (7.50 ha, 0.50%), commerce and
services area (15.90 ha, 1.07%), historical heritages area (49.26 ha, 3.30%) and
residencies area after independence time 1,405.53 ha 90.71%)
To use Lidar data of 2014 is very important to identify land use change
and detail classification for the area of agriculture and non-agriculture land. Dili is
the capital of Timor-Leste. Therefore it needs rules, supervision and
comprehensive plan as well as improvements or arrangement in accordance with
the land use zoning.
