Information related to land cover can be used as at the parameter to determine the amount of runoff in a catchment area. This study was conducted in the Catchment Area (CA) of Mangkauk using Landsat 8 OLI/TIRS 2014 scene path/row 117/62 with the methods of Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN). The classification of land cover in Mangkauk catchment area included forests, plantations, shrubs, reeds/grasses, rice fields, open lands, settlements and water body. Based on the accuracy test of land cover classification using SVM, the value of the overall accuracy was 97.22% with Kappa Coefficient 0.96, while using ANN 86.33% with Kappa Coefficient 0.79.
