This study focuses on the analysis of changes in the ecological structure of the landscape which includes patches, matrix and corridor as a result of the application of an administration-based zoning system in Badung Regency. The objectives to be achieved in this study are to analyze the impacts and factors that influence changes in the ecological structure of the landscape and the quality of the environment as a result of the implementation of an administrative-based zoning system in Badung Regency. The results of the study concluded that the ecological analysis of the landscape is an important aspect in the development of the zoning system in Badung Regency which pays attention to the principles of sustainable development and protection of ecological space.
