Analysis of vegetation biodiversity and urban park connectivity as landscape services provider in Bogor city

Abstract

The rapid urban development has its own positive and negative impacts, especially on the landscape. One of the attempts to overcome those negative impacts of urban development is to create Green Open Space. The proportion of green open space in an urban area should be at least 30% of the total area. One form of green open space is an urban park, which is also become a green belt infrastructure. Therefore, the object of this research is six urban parks in Bogor City; there are Sempur Park, Kaulinan Park, Peranginan Park, Kresna Field Park, Corat-Coret Park, and Katulampa Fasosfasum Park located in the Ciliwung Watershed. The methods used in this study are the Shannon-Wiener Index to analyze the biodiversity of urban parks in Bogor City, which has the results of a Shannon-Wiener index from low to high. While based on the results of the Sorensen Index, connectivity between Urban parks in Bogor City is classified from low to moderate. Furthermore, the correlation between vegetation biodiversity and connectivity was tested through the Spearman Rank Correlation Test, a strong and direct correlation. The outputs from this study are three recommendations for urban park management to improve vegetation biodiversity and connectivity in Bogor City.
