priority for regional development, including in the Bangka Belitung Islands Province. Climate change and environmental degradation have caused food crises in several regions, including the Bangka Belitung Islands Province. In addition, the Bangka Belitung Islands Province is an archipelago that is highly dependent on food imports from other regions. The objective of this study is to map food vulnerability in the Bangka Belitung Islands Province using the Food Security Questionnaire (FSQ) and the ArcGIS application, thereby illustrating the indices of food availability, accessibility, and utilization in the Bangka Belitung Islands Province. The results of this study indicate that the Food Security Questionnaire (FSQ) for the Availability Index is very low for Pangkal Pinang City, Central Bangka, Belitung, and East Belitung. This is because these areas have low levels of food production due to a lack of agricultural land for food production. while other areas such as West Bangka, Central Bangka, and South Bangka are considered safe. For the Accessibility and Utilization indices, almost all areas are classified as safe or very safe.
