Abstract

Increase demand of electricity has driven the exploration of Hulu Terengganu hydroelectricity dam as an option to generate electric power supply. Therefore, as a way to monitor the landscape changes, spectral indices were used to study on the spatial-temporal changes over the Hulu Terengganu catchment area. Spectral indices technique was applied on satellite images which acquired on three different years to describe the changes before the construction phase, during the construction phase and post-construction phase. Satellite images used in this study are SPOT-5 and Landsat 7 for year 2006, SPOT-5 and Landsat 8 for year 2014 and Spot-7 and Sentinel 2 for year 2018. Alteration of the land use and land cover has recorded degradation of the forest area by -5.53 % during the dam construction phase (2014) and -8.35 % during post-construction phase (2018). It also found that water body has remarkable change of 10,141% increase from 2014 to 2018. The result from this study would be useful as an overview for future planning, decision making and dam management activity related to the Hulu Terengganu hydroelectric dam operation.
