Abstract

This paper discusses the effect of urbanization on ecosystem services in the Upper Citarum River , precisely in Majalaya Village, Majalaya District, and Babakan Village, Ciparay District, West Bandung District, West Java province. This study applied a qualitative method used to determine the form of ecosystem services provided by the river in the Upper Citarum River . The results showed that urbanization has affected the biophysical conditions in the form of increasing average river water discharge, loss of water supply areas in the form of rice fields due to increased land use for settlements, and decreasing river water quality below the standards. Urbanization has also affected available ecosystem services. Majalaya Village which was a dense urban area received fewer ecosystem services compared to Babakan Village which was still a rural area.
