Abstract

Climate interaction directly correlates with an individual's comfort response. One's comfort can be quantified by perceiving environmental conditions at tourist locations. This study aims to identify climatic and non-climatic factors that affect thermal comfort based on visitor perception. In addition, the Holiday Climate Index (HCI) is modified to equalize visitors' perceptions. The research locations, namely Taman Mini Indonesia Indah (TMII), Kebun Raya Bogor (KRB), and Taman Safari Indonesia (TSI), are characterized by distinct topographies. This study identifies thermal comfort factors based on 552 questionnaire responses from purposive sampling. Analyzing factors influencing thermal comfort using ordinal logistic regression with Uncomfortable Class (0) and Comfortable Class (1). Model performance metrics, such as accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score, are calculated using a confusion matrix. In general, the best time to feel comfortable is in the morning. Overall, climatic factors such as thermal sensation and rainfall events influence thermal comfort, while non-climatic factors have no effect. The model's implication is to provide an equation in the probability of someone feeling comfortable or uncomfortable based on the predictors. Furthermore, a modification index at TMII adjusted the HCI-urban's weighting, ratings, and comfort thresholds to match visitors' perceptions at that time. The results demonstrate that HCI-urban effectively provides comfortable and comfortable assessments. However, it has not yet been able to capture perceptions of discomfort, unlike the modified index. This research can provide added value to the tourism industry in terms of maintaining environmental comfort during the dry season.

Abstract

The development of tourism is quite rapid in several parts of Indonesia. No exception in East Nusa Tenggara which offers a beautiful part of the beach. Most tourists will use this information in the form of the climate comfort index to determine the right travel time. The Climate Comfort Index can be searched using the Tourism Climate Index (TCI) method including weather parameters such as maximum air temperature and minimum air humidity (Daytime Comfort Index), average air temperature and average air humidity (Daily Comfort Index), rainfall, length of sunshine and average wind speed). Monthly data for the years 1991 - 2015 were provided from eight BMKG meteorological stations. The results showed that the Rote and Maumere regions were in the 'Very Good' category in the summer (June and July). Meanwhile, Sabu and Rote had the most comfortable seven months. In general, during the summer (June - August) the TCI value (≥ 70) has increased so as to provide comfort for beach tourism destinations. The best time for traveling is best visited during the peak of the dry season (June to August) while in the rainy season (November - February) is the worst time to travel.
