Abstract
As one of the province that borders DKI Jakarta, West Java Province has been named the most populous province in Indonesia. This has an impact on land cover change in the region. For example, a lot of land that was once a vegetation land, is now converted into built up land. From previous studies, changes in land cover are caused by several factors, one of which is the existence of cities/regencies in the West Java region itself. However, is yet known for certain that changes in land cover are influenced by only the closest city/regency or all cities/regencies. Therefore, an analysis of the influence of cities/regencies existence towards land cover change in West Java is needed based on geospatial data. One calculation method to determine the influence of cities/regencies existence towards land cover changes is Binary Logistic Regression (BLR). BLR is used to analyze binary phenomenon. This study shows that to determine land cover change at a point in the province of West Java it is sufficient to be seen from the influence of the closest city/regency and it is not necessary to be seen from the influence of all cities/regencies.
Keywords: land cover change, distance of the closest city/regency, distance of all cities/regencies, Binary Logistic Regression (BLR)
