MATERIAL AND METHODOLOGY
This research uses phenomenology and positivist approach. A phenomenon was being anything that appears or presents itself to someone (Peet 1998). Phenomenology was approach involve the description of urban sprawl as one experiences. Experience includes seeing, hearing and other sensory relations, but also believing, remembering, imagining, evaluating, and physical relations. Positivist approach looks at environment and sees spaces. That is, positivist sees homogenized surface, characterized measurable; with human relation to space (Peet 1998).
Material research involve primary and secondary data such visual data in the field, statistical population data, and land use data. Data collect from check field directly with writing and photography; the formal report from project, government (statistical bureau and agriculture office); from textbook and relevant journal. To find spatial transformation, this research used Landsat data satellite for three years were 1989, 1996, 1999. Processing data spatial was used Erdas Image processing 9.1 software band RGB 4, 5, 3. Data used field check to find the correct of the result of interpretation. Differentiation the areas of land use have done with frequencies analysis using series data. This was for measure how many area was change and how the distribution of urban sprawl.
To determine the boundary of area research was used ecological approach. This area research was used river basin boundary to study because base on system ecology. System ecology looked that the activity of people may influence to other activity. Urban activity in up stream could make influence in downstream. Klang-Langat metropolitan Region (KLMR) was area of research on river basin Klang and Langat. That area was on three states that were Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur, Selangor State, and Negeri Sembilan State.
There were many kind of word used to call valley such lembangan (Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka 1993), lembah, watershed, river basin, all of them was used one meaning in this study. The boundary area of valley was using topographic boundary where the stream of river flow to one outlet. Klang valley had Klang outlet and Langat valley had Kuala Langat outlet. Klang valley had four area that was part of Selangor state (Gombak, Petaling and Klang), Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur (WPKL). Langat valley had four area to that was part of Selangor State (Hulu Langat, Sepang, and Kuala Langat), part of Negeri Sembilan state (Nilai city).
