ABSTRACT
Over many years, forested
land transformation into urban, agriculture and mining areas within
Tasik Chini Catchment become more intense. These activities have
negatively affected the catchment through soil erosion and increased
the amount of sediments that deposited into the lake. Hence, the
present study aimed to estimate soil erosion risk within Tasik Chini
Catchment integrating the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) model and remotely sensed
geospatial data. The multispectral imagery from LANDSAT 8
was used to provide up to date information on land cover within
the catchment. The result shows the majority of Tasik Chini Catchment
is classified at very low class (< 10 ton ha−1 yr−1)
about 4835.34 ha (92.38%), followed by the low class (10-50 ton
ha−1 yr−1)
with total area of 175.47 ha (3.35%), moderate high class (50-100
ton ha−1 yr−1)
with total area of 65.11 ha (1.24%), high class (100-150 ton ha−1 yr−1)
with total area of 38.37 ha (0.73%) and very high class (> 150
ton ha−1 yr−1)
with total area of 120.04 ha (2.30%). Tasik Chini Catchment is very
susceptible to soil erosion especially on northwest and southeast
regions, where the main sources of soil loss come from the agricultural,
new settlements and mining activities. To conclude, the estimation
of soil erosion model using remotely sensed data can be used to
build sustainable development strategy within Tasik Chini Catchment
in the future.

ABSTRAK
Dalam tempoh masa yang
lama, transformasi kawasan hutan di Lembangan Tasik Chini kepada
kawasan-kawasan bandar, pertanian dan lombong menjadi lebih giat.
Aktiviti-aktiviti ini telah memberi kesan kepada kawasan lembangan
tersebut melalui hakisan tanih dan meningkatkan jumlah sedimen yang
masuk ke dalam tasik. Oleh itu, kajian ini bertujuan untuk meramalkan
risiko hakisan tanih di kawasan Lembangan Tasik Chini menggunakan
penggabungan model Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE)
dan data georeruang penginderaan jauh. Imej multispektral daripada
LANDSAT
8 digunakan untuk memperoleh maklumat terkini mengenai
litupan tanah dalam lembangan. Hasil menunjukkan bahawa kebanyakan
kawasan di Lembangan Tasik Chini dikelaskan kepada sangat rendah
(< 10 ton ha−1 yr−1)
sekitar 4835.34 ha (92.38%), diikuti oleh rendah (10-50 ton ha−1 yr−1)
sekitar 175.47 ha (3.35%), sederhana tinggi (50-100 ton ha−1 yr−1)
sekitar 65.11 ha (1.24%), tinggi (100-150 ton ha−1 yr−1)
sekitar 38.37 ha (0.73%) dan kelas sangat tinggi (> 150 ton ha−1 yr−1)
sekitar 120.04 ha (2.30%). Lembangan Tasik Chini sangat kritikal
kepada hakisan tanih terutama di kawasan-kawasan barat laut dan
tenggara, dengan punca utama kehilangan tanih tersebut berasal daripada
aktiviti-aktiviti pertanian, perbandaran dan perlombongan. Kesimpulannya,
peramalan model hakisan tanih menggunakan data penginderaan jauh
dapat digunakan bagi membina strategi pembangunan yang mampan di
Lembangan Tasik Chini pada masa hadapan.
