Abstract

Community-based tourism has become an alternative sustainable development strategy that enhances local livelihoods while promoting forest conservation, especially in areas where resource use is limited. This study used a five-dimensional framework, including ecological, economic, social, nature tourism services, and institutional dimensions, to assess the sustainability status of the Jurang Jero Nature Tourism Object’s management. Field observations and respondent interviews were used to gather primary data, which was then analyzed using a rapid appraisal technique for fisheries (Rapfish) modified for Rap-tourism. The results show that management of the Jurang Jero Nature Tourism Object is moderately sustainable, reflecting balanced performance across ecological, economic, social, institutional, and nature tourism service dimensions. Even though the ecological and social dimensions are comparatively strong, more advancements in nature tourism and economic dimensions are required. Improving sustainability and promoting advancement require increased cooperation between stakeholders. Recommended strategies include strengthening human resource capacity through targeted training, developing environmentally sustainable tourism infrastructure, and improving the quality of tourism services and attractions through corporate social responsibility initiatives.

Abstract

The communities living around forests, such as those in Banyurip Village in Sragen, are facing diverse agricultural challenges. One of these problems is poor land utilization, compounded by recent droughts happened within the village. These conditions have led to low productivity in the community due to limited agricultural activities. Utilizing land under forest canopies has become an option for the Banyurip Village as a source of livelihood, with one of the suitable crops for cultivation is the arrowroot tuber. The cultivation of arrowroot tubers for local food production is potentially developed in Banyurip Village; therefore, this community service aims to optimize the forest area for non-timber forest products. The methods used in this community service were the training of the cultivation and processing of arrowroot (Maranta arundinacea). This activity increased farmers’ knowledge from 29 percent on the pre-test to 64 percent in crop cultivation and 50 percent in product processing, respectively. This community empowerment initiative concluded that the activities positively impacted the community's knowledge of garut plant cultivation techniques and product processing. Moreover, this initiative can boost the community’s creative economy through multi-product enterprises derived from agroforestry activities.
