Abstract
Lombok International Airport (LOP) was built on former rice fields and plantations, which are habitats for various bird species, making it vulnerable to the threat of bird strikes. This study aimed to determine the composition of birds and determine the appropriate bird strike management strategy for LOP. The sample of observation areas and respondents was selected using purposive sampling. The abundance and frequency of each bird species were observed using the point count technique at 30 points in the airport operational area, and the data were then processed to determine the composition of bird species and their potential to cause bird strikes. Data on the implementation of bird strike management were collected through interviews with 21 respondents and processed using a SWOT analysis to determine the appropriate bird strike management strategy for LOP. The results showed that 29 bird species were found in the LOP, which, based on bird-strike risk, comprised 1 severe, 6 major, 8 moderate, 7 minor, and 7 negligible species. The SO strategy was suitable for bird strike management at the LOP, namely utilizing the airport's strengths and seizing opportunities in aspects that include strengthening the wildlife hazard management system, proactive habitat modification, detection technology and early warning systems, as well as multi-stakeholder education and outreach.
