Abstract:
The transfer of forest land to non-forests is increasingly massively carried out
by humans, including in riparian forest areas (left-right forests of rivers). The
study aimed to identify determining factors that affect the suitability of
bekantan (Nasalis larvatus Wurmb, 1781) in the riparian habitat of the
Tabunio watershed in South Kalimantan through spatial modeling. Habitat
suitability is analyzed using Sentinel-2 imagery and cellular automata and
integrated with geographic information systems. The encounter with bekantan
in Tabunio watershed as many as 443 bekantan individuals spread across 43
meeting points and consists of five main groups of bekantan with the number of
group members for each of the main groups ranging from 20 - 68 individuals,
With the average number of individuals grouped is 10.3 individuals The total
area suitable for settlement habitat in the Tabunio watershed is 2.1113,84
hectares, or 3.38% of the entire Tabunio watershed area which totals
62.516,24 hectares. The model of the results of this study explains that the
distribution of bekantan habitat suitability is influenced by the disturbance
factor.
