Abstract
The study of land cover change phenomenon is important to do in order to understand the global environment change. With cluster, the pattern and concentration of land cover change can be indicated, so that decisions can be made on target. The understanding of land cover dynamics can be improved by identifying the factors effecting them and the type of effect that every factors cause. The types of effect a factor cause can be divided into two types, driving and resistance. Therefore, this study is conducted to identify the type of effects that every factor has on West Java Province-s land cover change based on it-s land cover change cluster. The type of effects a factor has and the phenomenon of land cover change are modeled using binary logistic regression method, which is a data analysis method used to find a relationship between a binary response variable (y) and predictor variable (x). In this study, the land cover change acts as the response variable, while the driving factors acts as the pretdictor variables. The result of this study indicates that the factors effecting the changes in land cover in West Java Province, based on it-s land cover change cluster, is heterogeneous, both in terms of the characteristics of the dominant land cover class changes and in terms of the distribution of its clusters.
