Forest cover change analysis as a proxy: sustainability assessment using remote sensing and GIS in West Kalimantan, Indonesia
Deforestation and forest degradation are proceeding rapidly in the lowland forests of Indonesian Borneo. Time series analysis of satellite imagery provides an ideal means of quantifying landscape change and identifying the pathways which lead to the changes. This study investigates the forest and...

Impacts of land use and fire on the loss and degradation of lowland forest in 1983–2000 in East Kutai District, East Kalimantan, Indonesia
The recent forest fires in Indonesia have left severe scars on the environment and the economy. Remote sensing and GIS are being integrated and utilized to quantify the effects of the burning on the several local communities in West Kalimantan, Indonesia.
