Remote Sensing

Mining is an extraction activity to obtain natural resources from the earth layer. Despite mining has high economic value, in the other hand, it also one of the sectors that can lead to decreasing of environmental quality. However, the environmental damage that occurs as a result of mining activity can be restored through reclamation. There are three criteria for forest reclamation success in this regulation such as land arrangement, erosion and sedimentation control, and revegetation. Based on this regulation, revegetation criteria has the highest weight than the others criteria.

​

This statement indicate that re-vegetation become the highest contributor that determine the value of reclamation success in Indonesia. Monitoring of reclaimed area provides information related to post mining rehabilitation. Conventional methods such as field measurement and laboratory studies to monitor changes of vegetation cover and vegetation health mapping requires high labor force and time. 

​

The availability of data and remote sensing help you as basis data for management decision whether the reclaimed area was proposed for conservation area or another integrated uses such as plantation, agroforestry or silvopasture for local community and also ecotourism by considering environment conditions.

Survey result will give you a tool for reclamation monitoring and inventory. Remote sensing data was correlated with field measurement data to obtain reflection in terrestrial condition based on remote sensing data.
