Abstract

Background: Awila Hills Agrotourism is a local agricultural center characterized by diverse horticultural production, including cayenne pepper, curly chili, corn, long beans, pumpkin, mustard greens, and tomatoes. Beyond its role as a tourist attraction, this agrotourism area maintains strong economic linkages with surrounding communities, where local residents regularly purchase fresh agricultural products directly from farmers. This interaction supports a stable local market and strengthens community participation, highlighting the importance of integrated and sustainable agrotourism development. Methods: This study was conducted from April to May 2025 using a mixed-methods approach that combined qualitative and quantitative descriptive analyses. A SWOT analysis framework was applied to identify and evaluate internal and external factors influencing the development potential of Awila Hills Agrotourism, thereby supporting strategic decision-making. Findings: The analysis indicates that the Strength–Opportunity (S–O) strategy achieved the highest priority score of 3.42, making it the most feasible development strategy. This approach emphasizes leveraging internal strengths to capitalize on external opportunities. Key recommended actions include optimizing natural landscapes and visitor comfort through targeted digital media promotion, developing educational tourism packages that integrate agricultural activities with environmental learning, and maintaining cleanliness and comfort to align with government tourism development programs. Conclusion: The prioritization of the S–O strategy underscores the importance of maximizing natural resources and educational potential to increase visitor numbers and enhance local economic benefits. This strategy supports sustainable agrotourism development by balancing tourism growth, community welfare, and environmental conservation. Novelty/Originality of this Article: This study offers a strategic development model for agrotourism by integrating SWOT-based analysis with educational tourism and community economic linkages. The findings provide a practical and replicable framework for sustainable agrotourism development in similar rural and agricultural tourism destinations.

Abstract

Pakan memegang peranan kunci dalam sistem produksi ternak. Sebagaimana diketahui, pakan menyumbang hingga 60–70% dari total biaya produksi dalam usaha peternakan sapi pedaging. Kegiatan ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi permasalahan dan alternatif strategi ketersediaan pakan sapi pedaging melalui FGD di Kabupaten Kolaka Timur yang dilaksanakan pada tanggal 12 Agustus 2025. Pelaksanaan kegiatan dilakukan dalam bentuk Focus Group Discussion (FGD) kepada pemangku kepentingan terkait, seperti peternak, penyuluh, aparatur pemerintah, akademisi, dan pelaku usaha. Adapun materi kegiatan pengabdian ini yaitu identifikasi permasalahan, potensi dan alternatif strategi ketersediaan pakan sapi pedaging. Tahapan pelaksanaan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini dilakukan dengan beberapa tahap, yaitu (a) tahap pertama, persiapan dan (b) tahap kedua, pelaksanaan. Hasil yang diperoleh menunjukkan bahwa FGD ketersediaan pakan sapi pedaging di Kabupaten Kolaka Timur mengidentifikasi permasalahan utama berupa ketergantungan pada pakan alami yang fluktuatif, rendahnya keterampilan peternak, serta keterbatasan sarana dan kelembagaan. Di sisi lain, tersedia potensi besar berupa lahan penggembalaan, hasil ikutan pertanian, iklim yang mendukung, dan dukungan kebijakan daerah. Oleh karena itu, pemerintah daerah memberikan dukungan kebijakan dan anggaran yang memadai, sementara peternak didorong untuk lebih aktif dalam memanfaatkan sumber daya lokal. Strategi ini diharapkan mampu menjawab tantangan penyediaan pakan secara berkelanjutan serta meningkatkan produktivitas peternakan sapi pedaging di Kabupaten Kolaka Timur.

Abstract

Background: This study aims to analyze public perception and conduct an environmental service valuation of the Puta Spring in Lakapodo Village, Watopute District, Muna Regency. Methods: The study was conducted from April to June 2024 with a population of 318 households that use the Puta Spring as their main water source. The research sample was determined using the Slovin formula with a confidence level of 10%, resulting in 76 respondents selected through purposive sampling, with the criterion of people who had used the spring for at least the last five years. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and literature studies, then analyzed descriptively and quantitatively. Findings: The results showed that the community's perception of the existence of Puta Spring was in the good category with an average score of 242.47. This indicates a high level of awareness of the importance of preserving this water source in supporting daily needs. The valuation of environmental services calculated based on the prevailing price method shows an economic value of IDR 211,104,000.00 per year, while based on the market price in Muna Regency, it reaches IDR 164,661,120.00 per year. The total volume of water used for domestic needs by the entire community of Lakapodo Village is 42,220.8 m³ per year, with an average discharge of Puta Spring of 0.0082 m³/second. Conclusion: Public perception of the spring is generally good, with high scores in existence, management, utilization, and economic value. Water availability exceeds community use, resulting in a surplus of 212,283 m³/year, corresponding to an economic value of IDR 1,061,415,000, indicating sustainable resource potential. Novelty/Originality of this article: The novelty of this study lies in integrating community perception assessment with economic valuation and water balance analysis to reveal the surplus value and sustainability potential of the Puta spring.
