Abstrak
Populasi rusa sambar (Rusa unicolor) mengalami penurunan dan dikategorikan sebagai rentan oleh Kesatuan Antarabangsa untuk Pemuliharaan Alam dan Sumber Asli pada tahun 2014. Objektif kajian ini untuk mengenal pasti faktor sekitaran yang mempengaruhi kesesuaian habitat rusa sambar,
yang terdiri daripada kecerunan, ketinggian, guna tanah, jarak daripada bandar, jarak daripada sungai dan litologi dianalisis menggunakan sistem maklumat geografi (GIS). Data kehadiran rusa sambar dari tahun 1992-2008 diintegrasikan dengan faktor sekitaran menggunakan model entropi maksimum untuk mengenal pasti habitat yang sesuai bagi rusa sambar di kompleks hutan utama Taman Negara. Hasil kajian ini menunjukkan jarak dari sungai menyumbang peratusan paling tinggi dalam model kesesuaian habitat iaitu 47.7%. Manakala jarak dari bandar, jenis guna tanah, ketinggian, kecerunan dan litologi menyumbang sebanyak 21.8%,
16.1%, 7.2%, 6.7% dan 0.4%. Habitat yang sesuai bagi rusa sambar meliputi 37% daripada keseluruhan kawasan kajian (2,218,389 hektar). Kajian penentuan potensi habitat rusa sambar yang sesuai di kompleks hutan utama Taman Negara penting untuk pengurusan hidupan liar seperti aktiviti pelepasan semula.

Abstract
The
sambar deer (Rusa unicolor) population has declined and
was categorized as vulnerable by the International Union for Conservation of
Nature Red List in 2014. The objective of this study was to identify
environmental factors that influence the habitat suitability of sambar deer,
consisting of slope, elevation, land use, distance from urban, distance from
river, and lithology analyzed using geographic information system (GIS). Sambar deer presence data from 1992-2008
were integrated with environmental factors using a maximum entropy model to
identify suitable habitats for sambar deer in the main forest complex of Taman
Negara. The results of this study showed that the distance from the river
contributed the most to the habitat suitability model of sambar deer, at 47.7%.
While distance from urban, land use type, elevation, slope and lithology
accounted for 21.8%, 16.1%, 7.2%, 6.7%, and 0.4%, respectively. Suitable
habitats for sambar deer cover 37% of the total study area (2,218,389
hectares). The determination of the potential suitable sambar deer habitat in the main forest
complex of Taman Negara is important for wildlife management such as re-release
activities.
