Sustainable management in water resources development strategies depends on the knowledge of phenomena of changes in land use in the river basin as a significant tool in understanding the interactions of environment and human activities. Changes that occur within a certain period on the land cover or land use impacts the basin characteristics, which will ultimately affect river basin management. This paper studies the change of land use in the Lombok river basin in Indonesia based on the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) land use/land cover data version 6 from the years of 2001, 2010, and 2016 which were derived using MODIS Terra and Aqua reflectance supervised classification data. Land use data was then classified into fifteen land use categories according to SWAT classification. QGIS and MapWindow software were applied to analyse the features of land use in the study area, and the SWAT simulation model was applied to simulate the impacts of changing land use in the sub-basin. The study concludes that areas with occurrences of changes in land use impacted the river runoff in the sub-basin. Analysis of river basin land use, when combined with simulation in water resources management, will contribute to optimal and sustainable river basin planning.
