Abstract
Delta is dynamic and constantly changing shape due to interaction of the river and the sea. Delta Ci Punagara
since 1972 become broader, potentially deform spatially. The aim of research to analyze the spatial changes in
the delta and the factors that influence it. Method of overlapping maps have to see the shoreline change and
changes in land use with Landsat data processing in 1972, 1994 and 2015. Based overlay maps in 1972, 1994
and 2015 occurred in the delta erosion and accretion, thereby transforming the delta of the irregular into BirdFoot. Abrasion in the Northern Zone (Ci Punagara estuary and vicinity) leads to the east and the results of
sediment to the east of the location of abrasion. Abrasion in the Western Zone (estuary Ci bladder and vicinity)
leads to south and the results of the sediment to the south of the location of abrasionThe factors that most
influence the change comes from the delta spatial factors, namely fluvial sedimentation while currents and
waves as a factor controlling the spread of sediment in coastal delta. Currents and waves are parallel to the
shoreline causing abrasion and produce accretion region. Small tidal tends to build up the beach. Increased
discharge of Ci Punagara followed by increased sedimentation due to changes in land use, especially depletion
of forests leads expanding inland delta.
