The spatial patterns of deforestation in the Ko'mara forest area

Land-use changes result from in the human population, their activities, and social environmental which occur a complex dynamic manner. The change of forested areas to non-forested areas, also known as deforestation, is land-use change. Deforestation influences land cover by creating specific distribution pattern (fragmentation). Almost entire forest has been fragmented into smaller but each these uncertain. As consequence, it would be more challenging control potential deforestation. Using spatial metrics Clumpiness index, Contiguity Patch density, deforestation one namely Ko'mara area, was carried out. This research analyzed using GIS Fragstat software raster data format. analysis results show that this area clumped distribution, with high level patch contiguity low medium fragmentation. represents form 2005-2010 2010-2015 classified Low rate <1%, Moderate 2015-2019 because value obtained 1.1%.
