<![CDATA[Identification of various types of land cover in the Air Telang Protected Forest has been carried out during the period 1989-2013. The method used in identifying the dynamics of land cover in this area is the survey method of land cover changes based on time series remote sensing data in 1989, 2001 and 2013. Analysis of data in this study was in the form of analysis of land cover changes in Air Telang Protected Forest using GIS with a two-period overlay of time series technique namely the period 1989-2001 and 2001-2013. The results showed that there were around 55.11% (6,978.00 ha) of primary forest that still survived during period 1 (1989-2001) and around 44.8% (5,671.53 ha) in period 2 (2001-2013). The area of primary forest increases because of the succession of several types of land cover, such as secondary forests, coconut plantations, swamp shrubs, ponds and water bodies into primary forests. The reduction in primary forest area is caused by the conversion of forests by communities into coconut plantations, oil palm plantations and ponds, and illegal logging. The Air Telang Protected Forest area needs to be restored in an effort to maintain its function as a protected forest.

Metode yang digunakan dalam mengidentifikasi dinamika tutupan lahan di wilayah ini adalah metode survey terhadap perubahan tutupan lahan berdasarkan data penginderaan jauh multitemporal tahun 1989, 2001 dan 2013. Analisis data dalam penelitian ini berupa analisis perubahan tutupan lahan di HLAT menggunakan GIS dengan teknik overlay multitemporal dua periode yaitu periode tahun 1989-2001 dan 2001-2013. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ada sekitar 55,11% (6.978,00 ha) hutan primer yang masih bertahan selama periode 1 (1989-2001) dan sekitar 44,8% (5.671,53 ha) pada periode 2 (2001-2013). Luas hutan primer bertambah karena adanya suksesi beberapa tipe tutupan lahan, seperti hutan sekunder, kebun kelapa, belukar rawa, tambak dan badan air menjadi hutan primer. Sedangkan berkurangnya luas hutan primer disebabkan karena adanya konversi hutan oleh masyarakat menjadi perkebunan kelapa, perkebunan kelapa sawit dan tambak, serta penebangan hutan secara liar. Kawasan HLAT perlu direstorasi dalam upaya untuk mempertahankan fungsinya sebagai hutan lindung. Kata Kunci: overlay multitemporal, Hutan Lindung Air Telang, dinamika tutupan lahan]]>
