Abstract. Withaningsih S, Parikesit, Rakha. 2022. Diversity of bird species in Pangheotan grassland and Mount Masigit Kareumbi Hunting Park, West Java, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 23: 2790-2798. The diversity of bird species is often used as an indicator of the ecosystem balance of an area. One of the efforts to preserve and protect the diversity of bird species is made by fostering habitat in the Pangheotan I Grassland (Kebun Rumput Pangheotan, hereinafter Pangheotan grassland) of PT. Perkebunan Nusantara (PTPN) VIII, West Bandung District, Indonesia and the Wali Pohon Block of Mount Masigit Kareumbi Hunting Park (Taman Buru Gunung Masigit Kareumbi herein after TBGMK), Bandung District, Indonesia. This study aims to determine the diversity of bird species in the two areas so that it can be used as basic data in making planning strategies for maintaining and increasing biodiversity. Bird data collection techniques using the point count method and analysis of bird species diversity data were carried out using a quantitative data analysis approach. In the second year of habitat development, 27 species of birds were found in Pangheotan grassland, with a Shannon-Wiener diversity index (H') of 2,479 (medium diversity), an evenness index of 0.814 (even abundance), and Pycnonotus aurigaster was the species of bird that had the highest relative frequency and relative abundance. Meanwhile, in the second year of habitat development in TBGMK, 45 species of birds were found with H' of 3,237 (high diversity), and E of 0.926 (even abundance), and srigunting kelabu (Dicrurus leucophaeus) was the species of bird that had the highest relative frequency and relative abundance. The results of the study show the success of the habitat development carried out in these two locations through the biodiversity by design program.

Abstract. Withaningsih S, Ramdhani MG, Hadi F, Parikesit. 2025. Correlations between human-modified landscape structure and bird diversity in Paseh Sub-district, Sumedang District, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 26: 1706-1719. Various factors, including environmental conditions, human activities, and land use patterns, influence the diversity of bird species. The characteristics of each land use pattern will affect the diversity of bird species in a given area. The present study aims to investigate the correlations between human-modified landscape structures and bird diversity in the Paseh Sub-district, Sumedang District, West Java, Indonesia, highlighting how changes in land use and habitat composition influence avian species richness and distribution. Research on the relationship between bird species diversity and landscape structure in the Paseh Sub-district was conducted using the point count method for collecting bird data. Landscape structure was analyzed using Fragstats software, and the results were analyzed using Spearman correlation. The study recorded 74 bird species from 32 families, totaling 3,115 individuals. The Eurasian tree sparrow (Passer montanus) was the most abundant species, accounting for 38.1%. Bird diversity in Paseh Sub-district was assessed based on various land use patterns: settlements (H = 1.47), mixed gardens (H = 3.13), rice fields (H = 2.65), and others (H = 2.65). The overall bird species diversity was moderate (H = 2.91). The landscape influenced bird diversity. Larger areas (TA), longer edges (TE), more patches (NP, PR), complex patch shapes (MSI, MPFD), and lower landscape heterogeneity (SHDI) were correlated with higher bird species diversity.
