The central Kalimantan has envolved into a new oil and gas industry area where potential impact on environmental need to be anticipated comprehensively for environmental protection from oil spill. The locations are East Barito District, South Barito District and Kapuas District (Tamiang Layang, Buntok and surrounding area), Central Kalimantan Province. The main problem of this study is determining areas of sensitive and vulnerability to oil spill. The aims of study were to identify the factors and components that affect the level of ESI to oil spill and analyse and establish environmental sensitivity rank for oil spill contingency plan. The methodology of study carried out by identifying and assessing each landuse unit and analyse performed by GIS method with ESI formula. Interpretation and classification of landuse used Landsat TM imagery that acquired in 2014 and updated in 2018 and field survey in October 2014. The result of analysis showed environmental sensitivity index divided into four categories, dominated by high sensitive (40,8%) due to the presence of protected and conservation forest, less sensitive (31,9%), moderately sensitive (14,6%), and insensitive (12,8%). General condition of study area is lowland and swamp area and potential to flood. The environmental protection from oil spill should be mitigated and prioritized for sustainable development.
