Abstract

This study gives sophisticated result in the use of K-Nearest Neighbor Method classification of forest. The major focus is on the data and technique that can be used to identify the changes in forest features. This study will concentrate on identifying forest encroachment in tropical forests such as the forests of Malaysia. This technique study will establish a strong mechanism that can be used by different sectors such as forestry, local administration, surveying and agriculture. The main contribution of this study is that it utilizes of K-Nearest Neighbor Method with remote sensing data to detect forest encroachment. Hopefully, this study will serve as a reference for any future research on utilizes of K-Nearest classification as tools to identify of tropical forest encroachment.
