Forests have been known to provide many services or benefits for humans, such as provisioning, regulating, supporting and culture. However, the role of cultural services is rarely considered, even though it is closely connected to various aspects of human life, one of which is health or healing services. Forests that provide health services are called healing forests. This is different from shinrin-yoku or forest bathing, which has been known in various countries as a method of doing nature-based therapy. However, not all forest landscapes can provide health services or healing services. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the appropriate forest landscape to provide health services through a scientific study. The research was conducted in the Block Utilization of Pesanggrahan Business Space in the Forest Park area of Banten. The method used in this research is (a) spatial analysis of the area using a UAV or drone; (b) conducting a site survey to determine environmental parameters that affect healing services. The results showed that the Block Utilization of Pesanggrahan Business Space in the Banten Raya Forest Park is an area that is suitable for the location of the healing forest. The slope of the land is dominated by flat to sloping land with a percentage of 71.98% of the total area. The vegetation density of the study site was dominated by medium to dense cover with a percentage of 98.56% of the total area and the dominant plant was Meranti (Shorea sp.). In this study, environmental parameter data was collected at three sites which were predicted to be suitable locations for healing forests. The result is that the average air temperature at the three sites is 29.8?, 30.45?;29.5?, respectively. The relative humidity values obtained at the three sites were 76%; 75.5%; 77.5%, respectively. The average light intensity values at the three sites were 1640, 5550; 647.5 lux, respectively. The average area noise value at the three sites is 46.55; 44.2; 52.45 dB, respectively. The average wind speed at the three sites is 0 m/s, while the negative ion content of the air at the three sites is 1512; 1180; 1522 ion/m3. Based on these results, the Block Utilization of Pesanggrahan Business Space in the Banten Raya Forest Park is an appropriate area for a healing forest location with several considerations that need to be addressed.
