Hierarchical Model of Landscape Mapping (Case Study: Multiscale Mapping on Natural Ecosystem Baluran National Park).

The objective of the study was to confirm the linkages between the data source and landscape mapping scale to create a hierarchy of landscape mapping scale. The study was conducted through visual interpretation and manual detection in 2D and 3D multi-scale data to determine multiscale hierarchy followed by field survey. The interaction results of various parameters were grouped by segments according to the depth of information and were then differentiated into two types of data parameters (spatial and attribute data). Delineator boundary was the first process performed in the landscape mapping in Baluran; after that they were formed into units of land, then the database has been created based on the interpretation of aerial photographs and field surveys. Based on the multi-scale landscape analysis, it can be concluded that morphography is delineator boundary for small scale, while the delineator boundary for large-scale mapping is morphometry. The detail of landscape database was obtained based on the number of sampling in the field per 100 hectares, and the database information is closely related to the accuracy of the landscape map.
