Study aimed to assess of forest corridor and management guidelines in eastern forest complex using remote sensing and Geographic Information System (GIS) techniques. Landuse were segment base on object based image classification by mean and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index. The data were proceeded to analyze by Path analysis algorithm and Spatial analysis. Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was assign to criterion weighting. The results show that eastern forest complex classify area of Landforest is 11,665.54 square km, other landuse 3,276.13 square km, water body 262.12 square km. Results of Patch Analysis distributed of forest complex are fragment of ecology to many paths. AHP show the consistency ratio is 0.026 that under 0.1 so criteria related to score 4,578 corridors. Corridor link within 100 m. be top important and 200,300 in order of priority. Corridors range in area from 0.009 to16.87 square km.
