Abstract
Lake Rawa Pening, in Semarang Regency, is one of the
super lakes of revitalization priority. Lake
revitalization is an activity to restore the natural
function of the lake as a water reservoir through lake
dredging, cleaning of invasive alien plants, and land
use planning. This makes land use and land cover
information in Lake Rawa Pening useful for
formulating policy strategies related to revitalization.
This study will discuss land cover mapping in Lake
Rawa Pening. Mapping using Landsat 9 Imagery and
machine learning on Google Earth Engine (GEE).
Machine Learning used in this study is CART
(Classification and Regression Tree) and RF (Random
Forest). The research result shows that the land cover
map with the best accuracy is obtained from machine
learning RF with an overall accuracy of around 0.78,
while CART machine learning is approximately 0.76.
The overall accuracy values for CART and RF are not
much different because they are both decision tree-
based machine learning. This research needs to be
developed using cloud masking, comparing image
transformations, and comparing its predecessor data,
namely Landsat 8. This is useful for providing
representative land cover data as the basis for the
policy of revitalizing Lake Rawa Pening.
