Abstract
Urban green spaces are becoming important in cities as these spaces provide refuge habitat for urban biodiversity. In recent years, there has been a notable trend in the urban industry towards embracing green spaces. In this study, we aimed to examine the ability of green spaces at PUSRI as a refuge habitat for urban bird species around Palembang. To address this question, we measured the number of birds using the point count method, analyzed three diversity metrics (Shannon, Margalef, and Pielou) and their feeding guilds, and discussed the accompanying consequences. A total of 2.044 individual birds from 40 species and 25 families were recorded during the survey. Most of them are categorized as Least Concern (LC), with only two species classified as "Endangered", i.e., the Java Sparrow, and "Vulnerable", i.e., the Javan Myna. Indonesian regulation lists three species as protected, including the Brahminy Kite, the Black-winged Kite, and the Java Sparrow. Three diversity metrics showed an index value ranging from medium to high. Regarding feeding guild classification, 19 species are insectivore, seven each belonging to granivore and frugivore, four carnivore, two piscivore, and the remaining belong to nectarivore. The presence of various bird species and all urban feeding guilds in the green spaces at PUSRI, as well as the good value index of the three diversity metrics, demonstrate the potential of these green spaces to serve as a refuge habitat for urban birds in the city of Palembang.
