dc.description.abstractThis study aimed to investigate the Sumatran orangutans’ behavioural responses and Sumatran orangutans’ space use toward number of tourists and rangers at forest and feeding site in Bukit Lawang, Gunung Leuser National Park, Sumatera, Indonesia. This research also seeks to investigate tourists’ perception, satisfaction and awareness of Sumatran orangutans’ welfare at Bukit Lawang feeding site. The behavioural study was done from September 2014 until March 2015 and the data of spatial uses of orangutans were collected from September 2013 until March 2015. The behavioural study was performed 25 hours in the forest and 11 hours 40 minutes at the feeding site. In space use study, orangutans only appeared and were observed within 9 hours and half at feeding site 1. At site 2 the orangutan appeared for 8 hours and 16 minutes. The combination of focal sampling and scan sampling within 10 minutes interval methods were used in this study to determine whether behavioural responses and space use of Sumatran orangutans depend on the number of tourists and rangers in the forest and at the feeding site. The data for tourists’ perception, satisfaction and awareness was collected on September 2014. A questionnaire was designed and distributed to the tourists of Bukit Lawang to investigate tourists’ perception and satisfaction of Sumatran orangutans welfare at Bukit Lawang feeding site. The result indicated that Sumatran orangutans respond particularly to high number of rangers and tourists in the forest as well as at the feeding site. There is a significant difference on Sumatran orangutans’s visual, vocal and reposition behaviour in forest and at feeding site using Pearson test correlation.en_US
