Description
Summary:In 26 October 2010, the first eruption of Merapi Volcano occur, laterly sequential pyroclastic density currents disrupted human life, especially for those who lived in southern flanck of Merapi Volcano. Entirely, 367 fatalities occured and 2,268 buildings affected. The various data concern to amount of damaged buildings had released, several based on spatial data, others based on participatory mapping involves stakeholders. The availability of very high resolution imagery after the devastating eruption issued possibilities to extract the deposit area in detail, seperating the emplaced materials types and defining the affected buildings. Photointerpretation is the most applicable technique but this technique is inappropriate since consumed much time. The digital classification technique offers possibilities to reduce the consumed time. However, the common digital classification would not provide proper result to extract Earth�s surfaces feature as object since this technique only computes the pixel brightness value. Thus, object-oriented analysis which combines the effectivity of digital classification, spatial and contextual analysis offer possibilities to extract the feature as object. In order to obtained proper result of object extraction based on object-oriented analysis, the knowledge of object and proper object characterization are needed. In this research, the extraction of pyroclastics deposit were done through the integration of topographical data and very high resolution imagery within the object-oriented analysis. Meanwhile, the buildings extraction was extracted based on the segmentation and classification of the class of extracted pyroclastic surges deposit on identical imagery. The extraction of pyroclastics deposit was done succesfully, the processes also decoupled the pyroclastic hazard into two main depositioned materials, the pyroclastic flows and the pyroclastic surges materials. The extracted pyroclastic deposit area reach accuracy up top 87%. Meanwhile the result from buildings extraction did not gives proper result, the accuracy only reach 22%. However, the identification of buildings damage shown significant progress compared to the governments data which based on participatory mapping. The buildings damage data from the goverment recorded 126 buildings as �heavy damaged� and the result from object-based change detection analysis classed those 120 buildings into 24 �medium damaged� and 96 �heavy damaged�
