Abstract

The development of tourist destinations with a community-based tourism approach is one form of alternative tourism that has the potential to be carried out. Tourism destination development activities carried out by the community often unknowingly have implemented a community-based tourism approach, as happened in the tourist destination of Siwang Village, Ambon City. Through a qualitative methodology, this study found that the people in Siwang Village have successfully implemented a community-based tourism approach to develop their tourism potential and attractiveness. Siwang Village is one of the mountainous tourist destinations in Ambon City, Maluku Province, which has been successfully managed independently by optimizing its potential and human resources. This research was conducted in 2021 by making the community key informants and policy makers and tourists additional informants.

Abstract

This study analyzed the impact of urbanization on vegetation cover in Ambon City using Google Earth Engine (GEE) technology and the NDVI index. The methods used include Sentinel-2 image data processing and field validation at 40 sample points conducted in Google Earth Engine. The analysis revealed that the Non-vegetation area has a percentage area of 29.25%, Sparse vegetation area of 19.89%, Medium Vegetation area of 21.80% and Dense Vegetation area of 29.06% of the total area of Ambon City center. The results of this study emphasize the urgent need for conservation policies and utilization of monitoring technology in the planning of sustainable green open space in Ambon City Center.

Abstract

Land cover change is a global phenomenon triggered by human activities, including mining, which has significant impacts on the environment and ecosystems. In Indonesia, particularly on Halmahera Island, nickel mining has become one of the main economic sectors, but this activity often results in serious environmental degradation. The data used in this study is PlanetScope satellite image data for 2016, 2020 and 2024 which has a 3-meter spatial resolution. The image data was then interpreted and digitized to obtain land cover classes consisting of settlements, farming areas, vegetation and water bodies. The validation results of land cover in 2016, 2020, and 2024 obtained accuracy values of 92%, 90%, and 95%, respectively. In 2016, settlements had an area of 222.79 ha, mining area of 364.98 ha, vegetation of 52,938.88 ha, water body of 212.88 ha. In 2020, settlements were 343.92 ha, mining areas were 1,329.18 ha, vegetation was 51,853.55 ha, water bodies were 212.88 ha. In 2024, settlements are 563.92 ha, mining area is 4,498.32 ha, vegetation is 48,464.41 ha and water bodies are 212.88 ha. The mining area certainly continues to increase in area every year.
