Hernowo JB. 2017. Determinant factors of the javan green peafowl (Pavo muticus muticus) Linnaeus 1758 habitat in Baluran and Alas Purwo National Parks, East Java, Indonesia. Trop Drylands 1: 50-56. Baluran National Park (BNP) and Alas Purwo National Park (APNP) are habitats of the natural distribution of the javan green peafowl population. The javan green peafowl chose certain places in BNP and APNP at several habitat types for their local distribution. The habitat types selected by the birds for their distribution in Baluran were savanna, beach forest, and monsoon forest. Meanwhile, in Alas Purwo, the peafowl birds were distributed at grazing area and intercropping teak plantations. The habitat types selected by the javan green peafowl in BNP and APNP were those that are comfort and save for the birds’ living. The present research aimed to obtain data and information on determinant factors of habitat influence on the presence of the bird at the habitat types. The Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was used to analyze determinant factors of habitat component. The results showed that the determinant factors of the javan green peafowl habitat in BNP were the density of shelter, the density of food, the number of roost tree and the height of roost tree. Meanwhile, in APNP, the determinant habitat factors were the number of roost tree, the height of roost tree, and the number of continuously available water.
