Abstract

In recent years many authors have called for the broad integration of ecological principles into planning to improve conservation of biodiversity. Based on this, the issue of this research is to link the relationship between planning and biodiversity, namely the extent to which local planning units overcome biodiversity conservation in their planning and policies. The purpose of this study is to uncover problems and information needs on the environment. To achieve these objectives, the researchers first identify environmental issues, especially related to biodiversity which is a significant issue in the local government, then mapping the need for reporting biodiversity accounting. This study operates discourse analysis methods. Discourse in this perspective is interpreted as multiple and irregular pronunciations, then using universal norms or standards will organize regular meanings. The findings of this study show that environmental problems raise some anxiety about ecological damage. The rapid development of urban development is one of the main driving factors in the emergence of environmentalism movement and increases the need for the importance of reporting biodiversity accounting as a form of government accountability.
