Analysis of logging area for agricultural purposes in Gua Musang and Lojing district, Kelantan year 2004 and 2014 using spot 6 images

In efforts to improve the agricultural sector, the opening of new areas through logging activities within a country is inevitable. Among the areas that turned into logging areas for agricultural purposes is Gua Musang and Lojing district in Kelantan. Uncontrolled opening of new area has resulted in...
