Remote sensing is a particularly suitable tool for monitoring land use but also particularly suited for déforestation monito-ring. By launching the Setinel-1 and Sentinel-2 satellites in the Copernicus program, the community now has free data with important time-revisits allowing the greatest number of people to effectively monitor land cover of a study area. This paper présents a land use monitoring method based on the combination of two approaches computed using Open Source tools (QGIS, Orfeo ToolBox, python). First, we focus on land use monitoring at an annual time scale using Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 data, and then, by the use f entienl-1 data, we detect changes in the forest cover due to déforestation at bi-monthly time scale. The results obtained show a very good synergy of thèse approaches allowing the complementary of optical and radar data. In order to make accessible the proposed method, ail the used open source tools are available on this link http ://remotesensing4all.net/index.php/2018/09/11/kit-use-des-donnees-radar-sentinel-1-in-de-latelier-radar-du-FOSS4G-en-2018-2/.
