Finding the Corridor Potential Between Protected Areas in a Fragmented Landscape, Gunungkidul Regency, Indonesia

Abstract Fragmentation impacts disconnecting protected areas in Gunungkidul Regency, namely Bunder Forest Park (BFP) and the Paliyan Wildlife Reserve (PWR). This also decreases carrying capacity PWR, degrading Long-Tailed Macaque (LTM) habitat. Therefore, this research aims to analyze landscape structure between Protected areas, habitat suitability of LTM determine connectivity potential as an environmental management strategy. applied for investigates fragmentation using Fragstat 4.2 ArcGIS 10.8 software. Meanwhile, scoring weighting methods habitat, while Least Cost Patch Analysis (LCPA) supported by corridor. The results showed that land cover changed from 1999-2021. Agriculture, scrubs, settlements are dominant suspected cause forest fragmentation. Based on analysis parameters such cover, vegetation density, slope, altitude, distance river, sources threats, most area is intermediate class. These findings can be integrated one environment strategies. Good used designate a corridor has greatest developed BFP PWR should maintained wildlife crossing.
