Abstract. Ainindya DG, Rahmadana MI, Meilani F, Gestan DA, Deristani A, Setyawan AD. 2025. Mapping hotspots of human-wildlife conflict involving porcupines, long-tailed macaques, and humans in the Karst Region of Wonogiri, Indonesia. Intl J Trop Drylands 9: 65-73. The Wonogiri Karst Area in Indonesia is dominated by forests/shrubs that provide space for wildlife to thrive. However, the presence of species such as Javan porcupines (Hystrix javanica) and long-tailed macaques (Macaca fascicularis) can lead to conflicts with humans. This study aims to map conflict-prone areas between humans and wildlife by utilizing buffer tools in spatial analysis to gain a deeper understanding of these conflicts and develop sustainable solutions in Songbledeg, Paranggupito, and Gunturharjo Villages, located in Paranggupito Sub-district, Wonogiri District, Central Java. The research was conducted in October 2024. The methodology used includes buffer analysis using ArcGIS software. Data collection points are obtained through field surveys supported by the Avenza Map application, interviews, and equipped with spatial data. The results indicate that human wildlife, such as Java porcupines and long-tailed macaques, conflicts in the three villages occur near water sources such as rivers and coastal areas. In Gunturharjo and Songbledeg, conflicts were found in areas with elevations of 300-600 meters above sea level (masl), particularly in rice fields and drylands. Meanwhile, in Paranggupito, conflicts occurred not only at the same elevation range but also in residential areas. These conflicts highlight the need for the involvement of all stakeholders to mitigate the factors contributing to conflicts between porcupines, macaques, and humans. Efforts to reduce the occurrence of such conflicts include law enforcement and monitoring through joint patrols in the affected areas.
