Description The whole appearance of lowland forests, hills and mountains (Highlands and subalpin)-over areas that have not appeared, including the dwarf forest, heath forest, on limestone forest, forest in the ultra basic rocks, needle leaf forest, woodland and forest leaf shed moss. The whole appearance of lowland forests, hills and mountains that had appeared the former logging (the appearance of grooves and spotting logged-over), including the dwarf forest, heath forest, on limestone forest, forest in the ultra basic rocks, needle leaf forest, forest whole leaf and forest moss. Former slash and burn wooded areas are abandoned, burnt or regrowth of former degraded land is also included in this class. The whole appearance of the forest in swampy areas, including brackish swamp and peat swamp that have not appeared ex-logging, including the sago forest. The whole appearance of the forest in swampy areas, including brackish swamp and peat swamp have revealed the former logging, including the sago forest and swamp forests burned. Logged severe if not show any signs of inundation (water coverage) classified the open ground, whereas if the former shows puddles or stagnant water bodies classified (swamp) Mangrove forests, palm and Nibung located around the coast that have not appeared ex-logging. In some locations, mangrove forests are more inland Mangrove forests, palm and Nibung located around the coast which has been demonstrated ex-logging with groove patterns, patches and puddles or burned. Especially for logged-over that has turned into ponds / rice is classified into ponds / rice, whereas that does not show the pattern and still stagnant water bodies classified (swamp). The entire area had been planted crops, including tree plantations for reforestation. Former area of dryland forest that has regrown or areas with sparse tree coverage (natural) or areas with low vegetation dominance (naturally). Former area of swamp forest / mangrove regrowth or areas with sparse tree coverage (natural) or areas with low vegetation dominance (naturally). The appearance of non-forest natural grassland,

sometimes with little shrub or tree. The appearance of a natural appearance in most of Southeast Sulawesi, East Nusa Tenggara and southern Papua. This appearance may occur on dry land or swamp. Agriculture Land All agricultural activities in dry land as dry, mixed farms and fields. Agriculture All types of dry land agriculture intermittent with mixed with Shrub shrubs, bushes and logged forest. Often appeared in the area of shifting cultivation, crop rotation and karst land. This class also includes class mixed farms. Paddy All agricultural activities wetlands are characterized by patterns of dikes. That need to be considered by the interpreter is crop rotation phase consisting of inundation phase, the phase of young plants, old plants and phase fallow phase. This class also includes seasonal rice, rainfed, irrigated fields. Especially for rice seasonal wetlands require additional information from the field Fishpond Activity aquaculture (fish / shrimp) or salting that appears with dikes pattern (usually) around the coast Settlement Residential areas, both urban, rural, industrial etc.. Which shows the tight flow pattern. Bare Land The whole appearance of open land without vegetation (rock outcrops of mountain peaks, snowy peaks, volcanic craters, burnt sand, sand beach, river sediment), and open land burnt. The appearance of open land for mining classed mining, while the former open land-clearing land clearing included open land class. Open land within the framework of crop rotation fields / farms remain classified field / farm Mining Open land used for mining activities open open-pit (example: coal, tin, copper, etc.), As well as largescale mining lands covered that can be identified from the image of the association based on the appearance of the object, including the ground tailings (mining waste dump). The closed small-scale mining lands or that are not identified, classfied according to the appearance of the surface Water body All the appearance of water, including the ocean, rivers, lakes, reservoirs, coral reefs, seagrass beds, etc.. Appearance of ponds, fields and swamps have been classified separately Swamp Appearance of swamp land that is not forested Airport / Harbor Appearance airports and harbor that are large and allow to delineated separately.

Description The forest zones shows the areas where the forests have common features such as, dominant species, dominant crown density, dry or wet, natural or artificial, human impact level, etc. forest, where the crown density is 60-70 % and more. forest, where the crown density is 20-30 % to about 60 % forest, where the crown density is less than about 5% The paddy field was identified as bare land in the satellite image analysis stage. Some of the bare lands were identified by satellite image interpretation and field recognisance. The dry field also identified as bare land in the satellite image analysis stage. The dry field was identified by the satellite image interpretation. The area which was classified as glass land by satellite image analysis and interpretation. This area was identified by satellite image interpretation. Lakes, marshes, rivers. The rivers sometimes has no water. In case of no water in a river, it was identified as a river with topographical judgement and the smallest wide of the river identification was 50m. Bare land which was not identified as very sparse forest, paddy field, dry field was classified as bare land. The slope failure was included in this classification and identified by satellite image interpretation.
