Abstract

Mount Padang has high tourism potential due to its beautiful natural panorama, historical value, and accessibility. The increasing number of visits to Mount Padang every year shows the popularity of this area. Ecological carrying capacity emphasizes the ability of the environment to support tourism activities without causing damage. While psychological carrying capacity is related to the comfort of visitors in enjoying a good tourist atmosphere. This study aims to calculate the ecological carrying capacity of Mount Padang based on the parameters of area size, usage capacity, and number of visits. As well as analyzing psychological carrying capacity based on the level of visitor comfort towards crowds. The method used in this study is a quantitative descriptive approach with carrying capacity analysis based on the Carrying Capacity formula. Ecological carrying capacity includes physical carrying capacity (PCC), real carrying capacity (RCC), and effective carrying capacity (ECC). Psychological carrying capacity analysis was conducted by distributing questionnaires to 40 respondents using a Likert Scale. The research results show that the physical carrying capacity of the Gunung Padang area is 500 people/day, the actual carrying capacity is 240 people/day, and the effective carrying capacity is 600 people/day. The majority of visitors feel comfortable, safe, connected to nature, and satisfied with the area's atmosphere, although several aspects such as facilities and visitor density still need to be improved. Therefore, the management of Gunung Padang tourism needs to pay attention to the balance between the capacity of the tourist area and the psychological comfort of visitors to support sustainable tourism development.support

Abstract

A Nature Tourism Park (TWA) is a type of conservation area. In addition to functioning as a conservation area, TWA also functions as a tourist attraction. Harau Valley is one of the favorite tourist attractions in West Sumatra Province. The Sarasah Bunta area has three waterfalls in the same landscape, namely Sarasah Aie Luluih, Sarasah Bunta, and Sarasah Murai. This study aims to determine the factors that influence the Willingness to Pay (WTP) of visitors to the Harau Valley Waterfall, determine the amount of Willingness to Pay (WTP) of visitors to enjoy the Harau Valley Waterfall tour, and compare the Willingness to Pay (WTP) values of tourists at the three Harau Valley Waterfalls. The data used in this study include primary data and secondary data. This study used a multiple linear regression analysis approach, the Contingent Valuation Method (CVM), and descriptive analysis. The results of this study indicate that the WTP values that have a significant influence are income level at Sarasah Aie Luluih, education level at Sarasah Bunta, and gender at Sarasah Murai. The average WTP value of willingness to pay at each waterfall is IDR 6,625.00 per entry at Sarasah Aie Luluih, IDR 7,906.25 per entry at Sarasah Bunta, and IDR 7,233.33 per entry at Sarasah Murai. The Total WTP value (TWTP) is IDR 6,123,812,816.28 with an estimated visitor count of 281,366 people in the Harau Valley. Overall, differences in location, facilities, and atmosphere of each waterfall create different visitor segmentations, so that tourism management and development at the three locations are adjusted to the characteristics of visitors to each waterfall.

Abstract

Padang City is the largest city on the west coast of Sumatra Island and the capital of West Sumatra Province, Indonesia (BPS Padang City, 2024). Surrounded by hills at an altitude of 1,853 meters above sea level, Padang covers an area of 1,414.96 km². The city had a population of 928,541 in mid-2023, comprising 11 sub-districts, 104 villages, and 19 small islands. Padang is the core city of the Palapa metropolitan area. This study aims to determine the comparison of surface temperatures in Padang City from 2014 and 2024. This research method consists of image data obtained from the USGS Explorer site consisting of Landsat 8 satellite images dated August 15, 2014 and January 23, 2024 and Band 10 and Band 11, and the administrative map of Padang City obtained from the boundaries of the Regency/City of the Population and Civil Registration Office (Dukcapil) of Padang City. The results of this study are that the land surface temperature in the Padang City area has increased over a period of ten years along with the increase in built-up land and land use due to human activities. The increase in built-up land surface temperature and land use is spatially distributed in eleven sub-districts with an average temperature of >25.9 OC. In line with the increase in land surface temperatures caused by changes in temperature class ranges, nine areas in Padang City have a high potential to become sources of urban heat islands: Koto Tangah, Nanggalo, Kuranji, North Padang, West Padang, East Padang, South Padang, Lubuk Begalung, and Bungus Teluk Kabung Districts. Spatially, these nine areas are adjacent to each other or connected to one another.
