Population condition analysis of Jakarta land deformation area

Jakarta is located in the North West area of West Java Province which geographically positioned on 106 degrees 33'00"-107 degrees 00'00"BT and 5 degrees 48'30"-6 degrees 24'00"LS. Land subsidence has occured in several types of landuse such as trade, industrial and settlement area of the urban area of Jakarta. The land subsidence disaster is one of the consequences of building and road construction in Jakarta. This is caused by massive groundwater utilization and failure in landuse planning. This study aim to analyze the population density and settlement pattern in the urban area of Jakarta which the occurence of land subsidence has been detected. It is important to understand landuse and settlement planning processes in the area which land subsidence occured. Detection of land subsidence distribution become a necessary parameter in landuse planning. While the land subsidence area detected using Differential Synthetic Aperture Radar (DInSAR) method. The result shows the area which land subsidence occured has a very high population density and clustered and linear settlement pattern. This area is mainly used as industrial, trade, and settlement.
