Land-cover changes are vulnerable in Indonesia nowadays, as land needs continue to increase while land is limited. Land-cover changes, especially vegetation decrease can affect environmental stability. Therefore, it’s necessary to overcome the negative impact of land cover changes, for example with political policy. In order to ensure that policies are appropriate, should be known prediction of future land cover by looking at the pattern of land-cover changes. Based on Markov Chain properties, future land cover depends on current conditions. The dependence can be first-order, i.e., future changes (t2) depending exactly on the pattern of change in the previous period (t1), or second-order that changes in the future (t2) depending on the pattern of change in all previous periods (t1 and t0). In this study, the Markov Chain dependence test was performed on Bandung land cover data in the period of 1994, 1997, 2001, 2006, and 2011. The results show that the pattern of land-cover changes in Bandung influenced by land-cover changes pattern in all period.
