Javan Hawkeagle Spizeafus badelsi is endemic to Java and is the dominant
avian forest predator. It has been considered to be one of the world's rarest and

most endangered birds of prey according to current lUCN threat categories
(Prawiradilaga, 1998 in Asian Raptor Research & Conservation, 1998).

The Javan Hawk-eagle Spizaetus bartelsi lives exclusively in the forests of Java.

Its range has been fragmented over many years so that now it is only about 10%

of its former range (Sozer ef at., 1998). The study area in this research is

selected because of the increasing danger in populations of the species in the
study area by the habitat loss and degradation, and trapping for the wildlife trade.
The capabilities of the satellite imagery to capture spatial information in a large

area, especially in inaccessible, rugged and remote area, and process it are the
advantages in mapping habitat preferences. The use of G1S for input, storage,
analysis, and d~splayof spatial information is beginning to overcome these
difficulties. Remote sensing information produced by satellite or aerial

photography must be interpreted before they can be used in a G1S.
The objectives of this research, I.@. 1) to plot the locality records and determine
habitat of the specles based on the existed data; 2) quantify the landscape

structure and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to determine the habitat
preference; 3) utilize the remote sensing, GIS technique, spatial analysis
concept, and experience gained in this research as a base for knowledge transfer

to other area.

According to the 29 sites of locality records from the existed data, habitat of

Javan hawk-eagle in western part of Java are distributed at the mountainous and
forested areas. Habitat distribution are clustered in 3 landscapes area, i.e : a)
Gede - Pangrango NP, Halimun NP, and Salak Mt. at central mountain complex
(Landscape A),

with

15 existed locality records; b) Burangrang and

Tangkubanprahu Mts. at Southern Bandung (Landscape B), with 2 existed

locality records; c) Situ Patengan, Malabar, Patuha, and Tilu Mts. at northern
Bandung (Landscape C), with 12 existed locality records.

Result of habitat preference analysis, using landscape structure and Principal
Component Analysis reinforce the interpretation of most desirable habitat of

Javan hawk-eagle, which are : forest, tea plantation, and mix vegetation,
elevation, and slope condition.

The remote sensed data combine with GIs could provide data in regional scale

and used in mapping habitat preferences. These methods can be used as
methods in formulate the conservation strategies for protection the critical habitat

of Javan hawk-eagle.
