Backscattering characteristics of land use has been analyzed using ALOS PALSAR data. The purpose of this research are mapping of land use by five categories such as forest, acacia, oil palm, open area and water, and to identify the changes of environmental. Analysis Pixel-by-pixel average of ALOS PALSAR level 1.5 backscattering used from five of category land use was to estimate the spectral characteristic of each object in difference HH and HV polarization. Ground truth data was taken from 169 locations which used for classification, 119 locations and 50 locations used for validation. Two different times of ALOS PALSAR level 1.0 2009 and 2010 data, was used for changes detection by multi temporal color composite combination. The accuracy result for classification map shows 62% of ground truth database, and multi temporal analysis showed the possibility of changes.
