ANALISIS PERUBAHAN GARIS PANTAI UJUNG PANGKAH DENGAN MENGGUNAKAN METODE EDGE DETECTION DAN NORMALIZED DIFFERENCE WATER INDEX

Abstract

Besides to the effects from tidal, coastline position changed due to abrasion and accretion. Therefore, it is necessary to detect the position of coastline, one of them by utilizing Landsat data by using edge detection and NDWI filter. Edge detection is a mathematical method that aims to identify a point on a digital image based on the brightness level. Edge detection is used because it is very good to present the appearance of a very varied object on the image so it can be distinguished easily. NDWI is able to separate land and water clearly, making it easier for coastline analysis. This study aimed to detect coastline changes in Ujung Pangkah of Gresik Regency caused by accretion and abrasion using edge detection and NDWI filters on temporal Landsat data (2000 and 2015). The data used in this research was Landsat 7 in 2000 and Landsat 8 in 2015. The results showed that the coastline of Ujung Pangkah Gresik underwent many changes due to accretion and abrasion. The accretion area reached 11,35 km² and abrasion 5,19 km² within 15 year period.
