17 Surfaces data analysis also produced elevation map for study area, as list
in table 5 that the area is almost 94 dominated with elevation range between 0-500 meters, while areas above 500 meters to 925 meters only 6. Elevation
Map has indicated that within area of study are less than 2000 m. The highest point only 925 m and its meaning no area fit to the HCVA 1.1 protected places
with elevation 2000 m.

3.4.2 Land Cover Classification
Land cover map generated by interpreted Landsat TM 5 Satellite Imagery acquired November 2006. Unsupervised classification method done using the ER
Mapper 6.4 version. The reason of choosing this temporal imagery is that during 2006 there were the periods of preparation till the declaration of the Nino Konis
Santana National Park. The normal image processing applied such as preparation image, enhancement and classification. Improvement of land cover map done by
re-digit the features based on visual interpretation of color aerial photo data 2003. Ground Control Points checked conducted at several site during field work
between April and May 2010.
18 Land cover classification has produced information on percentage of
covered area of the Terrestrial Park by each of land cover category. There are four categories such, Agriculture Land, Forested Land, Non Productive Dryland, Non
Productive Wetland and Water Bodies. Agriculture Land covered 63.89 km
2
or 9.44 and consisting of four classes such as Food Crops Arable 49.76 km
2
or 7.35, Rice Field 2.91 km
2
or 0.43 and Smallholder Crops 11.22 km
2
or 1.66. Forested Land is general forests class, covered 340.55 km
2
or 50.28. Non Productive Dryland covered 242.86 km
2
or 35.86 and consisting of three classes such as Bareland 29.85 km
2
or 4.41, Grassland 73.71 km

or 10.88 and Woodland 139.3 km
2
or 20.57. Non Productive Wetland such shrubs covered 27.35 km
2
or 3.51. Rural Settlements such Village and Mixed Garden are covered 6.69 km
2
or 0.99. Waterbodies such Lake is covered 1.49 km

or 0.22.
