Changes in land use and land cover are one of the urgent phenomena in environmental problems that currently need more attention. With advances in technology, monitoring of LULCC can be observed remotely and from time to time. Sentinel – 2 and Google Earth were used in this study as instruments to visually interpret LULCC in Sitiung District, Dharmasraya District, West Sumatra. The interpretation results are then depicted in LULCC maps. This area is known to have experienced land conversion from forest to plantation and agricultural land. The visual interpretation technique is carried out by studying and comparing the initial land conditions in 2017 with the final land conditions in 2018. The fluctuations in changes from 2017 to 2021 are interpreted to describe land use activities in the plantation and agriculture sectors, as seen in the growth of plant height from year to year., and land clearing and replanting. The final result of the interpretation of land cover in 2021, it is known that the largest land cover is trees (65%) and crops (20%), the rest is built area (9%) and rangeland (3%), proving that most of the area research is used as agricultural land and plantations. © 2024 American Institute of Physics Inc..
