The expansion of oil palm plantation has been claimed as a major driver of biodiversity loss in the tropics, including birds. To date, only a few studies have been conducted to document the variation of bird diversity in different land cover within oil palm plantation. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct the research to investigate the variation of bird diversity. The objective of this study to identify the diversity of bird in different land cover within oil palm plantation. The observation of bird diversity was done in young stand of oil palm, old stand of oil palm, smallholder oil palm and in secondary forest as high stock carbon as natural reference before converting in to oil palm. The survey was done in August 2017 in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia. Data of bird species were recorded by direct observation using transect method. To calculate the diversity value of birds at different land cover, we used Margalef Index (Dmg) and Comunity similarity (IS). The result showed that the number of species and species diversity was highest at high carbon stock area which the number of species was 25 species and Margalef Index was 5.99. The young stand of oil palm have the highest evenness index (0.93), while the highest similarity index was observed in old stand of oil palm and in smallholder oil palm. Our study concludes that the existence of high carbon stock areas within oil palm plantation had a positive influence in increasing bird diversity. From a conservation perspective, retaining of natural habitat such as high carbon stock within oil palm plantation is one strategy to conserve biodiversity.

Berdasarkan Katalog Unsur Geografis Indonesia (KUGI), Peta Topografi Indonesia (RBI) memiliki 6 kategori unsur dengan 152 unsur klasifikasi tutupan lahan. Oleh karena itu, untuk keperluan analisis kesesuaian penggunaan lahan, klasifikasi tutupan lahan RBI perlu disederhanakan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menyederhanakan klasifikasi kategori unsur tutupan lahan RBI dan menganalisis kesesuaian kawasan pemukiman berdasarkan variabel tutupan lahan dan penggunaan lahan. Studi kasus klasifikasi tutupan lahan dan kesesuaian penggunaan lahan untuk pemukiman telah dilakukan di Provinsi Kalimantan Tengah. Hasilnya, klasifikasi tutupan lahan Provinsi Kalimantan Tengah dikelompokkan menjadi 15 kategori. Sebagian besar tutupan lahan di Kalimantan Tengah adalah hutan dengan luas mencapai 65%. Sementara itu, kesesuaian kawasan permukiman berdasarkan variabel tutupan lahan dan penggunaan lahan menyebar mengikuti sebaran spasial semak belukar dan lahan gundul seluas 16% Kalimantan Tengah. Based on th Indonesian Geographical Feature Catalogue (KUGI), the Indonesian Topographic Map (RBI) has 6 feature categories with 152 land cover classification features. Therefore, for land-use suitability analysis purposes, the RBI land cover classification needs to be simplified. This study aims to simplify the classification of RBI's land cover element categories and analyze the suitability of residential areas based on land cover and land-use variables. A case study of land cover classification and land-use suitability for settlements was conducted for the Central Kalimantan province. As a result, the land cover classifications of Central Kalimantan Province are grouped into 15 categories. Most of the land cover in Central Kalimantan is the forest with covering 65% of the area. Meanwhile, the suitability of residential areas based on land cover and land use variables spread following the spatial distribution of shrubland and bare land covering 16% of Central Kalimantan.

Natural resource managers need up-to-date information about how people interact with public lands and the meanings these places hold for use in planning and decision-making. This case study explains the use of public participatory Geographic Information System (GIS) to generate and analyze spatial patterns of the uses and values people hold for the Browns Canyon National Monument in Colorado. Participants drew on maps and answered questions at both live community meetings and online sessions to develop a series of maps showing detailed responses to different types of resource uses and landscape values. Results can be disaggregated by interaction types, different meaningful values, respondent characteristics, seasonality, or frequency of visit. The study was a test for the Bureau of Land Management and US Forest Service, who jointly manage the monument as they prepare their land management plan. If the information generated is as helpful throughout the entire planning process as initial responses seem, this protocol could become a component of the Bureau’s planning tool kit.
