Abstract

Karawang Regency continues to experience changes in land use even though it is one of the rice barns in West Java Province. Therefore, this research aims to analyze land use changes occurring in Karawang Regency in 2014, 2019, and 2024. The spatial approach with supervised classification analysis techniques is used to identify changes in land use in Karawang District. The interpreted data consists of Landsat 8 OLI/TIRS imagery from 2014, 2019, and 2024. The results show significant changes in land use. Land use continues to increase, namely Residential areas, industrial areas, plantations, and open fields while a decrease occurs in green open space, paddy fields and water bodies from 2014 to 2024. Significant changes in area occur in plantations, rice fields, and green open spaces which are converted into residential areas. The urban expansion trend is mainly seen in the north, approaching the North Coast of Java, with significant residential area growth seen in Sub District of Tirtamulya, Rawamerta, Cilamaya Wetan, Tirtajaya, and Cibuaya, also East Karawang and West Karawang. 2025 Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
