Abstract: The study on "The Biodiversity of Birds in the Region of Green Open Space (GOS) of The Petrochemical Industry, Palembang, South Sumatra, Indonesia" was conducted from August to September 2014 with the objective to determine the diversity of bird species. The method used to inventory bird species was Indice Ponctuels' Abondance (IPA) method. The results of the study revealed that there were at least 19 species of birds included in 14 families, in which four of the bird species were the species protected by the law, namely Halcyonchloris, Haliasturindus, Halcyonsmyrnensis, and Nectariniajugularis. The plant species as the habitat of the birds included Pterocarpus indicus Willd. (16.74%), Polyalthialongifolia Sonn. (14.02%), Cocosnucifera L. (12.98%), Elaeisguineensis Jacq. (7.76%) and Mangiferaindica L. (7.71%) with the diversity index of 2.96. These data prove that the area of green urban industry can also serve as a habitat for wildlife such as birds provided that the management of the green open space remains the concern of the industry.
Key words: Â Birds Biodiversity, Urban Industrial Area
