STUDI PENURUNAN MUKA TANAH (LAND SUBSIDENCE) MENGGUNAKAN METODE PERMANENT SCATTERER INTERFEROMETRIC SYNTHETIC APERTURE RADAR (PS-INSAR) DI KAWASAN KOTA CIMAHI - JAWA BARAT

Abstract

[Land Subsidence Study Using Permanent Scatterer Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (PS-INSAR) Method in Cimahi City Area-West Java] Process or movement of land subsidence has a lot going on in various regions of the world especially in big cities. The impact of land subsidence can damage urban infrastructure and a disruption to the economic stability and social life in the region. Because of it, we need a natural disaster mitigation system that is able to provide rapid and optimal a geoscience analysis in the concept of quick assessment. A remote sensing technology has the ability to assess large areas in a short time and related with the typical climate of Indonesia that lies in a tropical area (intensity and extensive high cloud cover). Selection of radar technology is one solution that is good for spatial mapping in land subsidence estimation. PS-InSAR is the newest method in RADAR image satellite processing which is give a good accuracy and minimize decorellation effects. PS-InSAR method implementation in Indonesia area is a good solution because this method can penetrate heavy dense clouds and fogs. This method was used in land subsidence analysis at Cimahi City-West Java Province which is result arounds 17.97 mm/yr ± 11.5 mm/yr. The South Cimahi District has a highest land subsidence rate arounds 22.9 mm/yr ± 12,7 mm/yr. This method has been proven as one of a good remote sensing method to investigate land subsidence movement.
