Land Availability for national parks, especially at the West Kalimantan province is very
important considering the magnitude of the benefits derived from the existence of the National
Park. This study makes the application of Geographic Information Systems for determining the
ideal location opening national parks in the province of West Kalimantan. The Tools used for
determining the ideal location for the opening of a new national park consist of MapInfo,
MapWindows, MapWINGIS, ArcView 3.3, and Visual Studio.Net 2010 with waterfall design
method. Spatial analysis to determine ideal locations using the Model Builder as an application
where the user may be developing in the form of geoprocessing models. Variables forest area,
highlands, population density, and the district converted into vector grid. Fourth result of the grid
vector, arithmatic overlay process is carried out to determine suitable areas for the ideal garden
in West Kalimantan Province. The result showed that the section of dark green area shows the
determination of the ideal garden is suitable for forest areas that are still dominant and far from
overcrowding. There are three rectangular areas with red marks that meet the ideal garden
location mapping. The area was still dominated forest areas and each area is also not close to
other existing parks.
