Abstract

Sports for some people are not only a necessity of daily life but also have been considered a lifestyle. Aside from being a regular alternative to keeping the body fit, it has many other benefits. The rapid development of this lifestyle of sports in urban communities is characterized by the increasing number of community groups that routinely do the type of exercise that can be done in between the limitations of time. Cycling is one of the activities that are much in demand by urbanites, as this type of sport activity gives both convenience and an outlet for an engaging fun. The emergence of cycling groups in urban communities is a reflection of the need for exercise routines that also provides outdoor recreation. There are various kinds of motivations for cyclists, from just wanting to exercise, to travel, to save fuel and avoid traffic, to minimize the effects of air pollution, or to look for new experiences and challenges, including new friendships or as an output of self-actualization. This research uses a qualitative descriptive phenomenological method, as well as a non-random purposive sampling technique on two urban bicycle groups, namely TOC and JGS-SCAM. Data collection was done by using the Google questionnaire application and the data was analyzed interactively by the model of Miles, Huberman, Saldaňa, and the application of second cycle data coding. The questionnaire results obtained were able to classify and characterize the urban cyclists based on their characteristics and motivation, and also determined the strategies for developing urban cyclist tourism by analyzing internal IFAS and external EFAS factors from the motivational characteristics of the urban cyclist, then the strategies were determined by using the SWOT method, ultimately cummulating into plans to develop a cycling tourism for urban communities.

Abstract

Indonesia has nearly 500 volcanoes and 129 of them are currently active. The active volcanoes are spread out along a 7000 km volcanic belt from Sumatra to Java, Bali, Nusa Tenggara, Banda, Halmahera and Sulawesi. Each volcano possesses its own natural characteristics that usually include beautiful landscapes and sceneries, fresh air and fertile lands. One of the volcanoes is Mount (Mt.) Rinjani (+3726 m) in Lombok island, West Nusa Tenggara. It is the second highest volcano in Indonesia after Mt. Kerinci (+3800 m) in Sumatra. Mt. Rinjani is situated at latitude 8°25' S and longitude 116°28' E. The Rinjani volcano complex has potential to be developed for volcano tourism and natural volcanic museum.Currently, vulcano tourism in Indonesia is still poorly developed and it relies on resources-based tourism only, not on knowledge-based tourism. Now is the moment for volcano tourism stakeholders, including travel guides, to prepare themselves by gaining more knowledge, specifically in term of scientific knowledge of a volcano and its environment. By doing so, they can make volcano more interesting as a tourist attraction and more appealing to both domestic and foreign tourists. The tourists eventually can have better understanding of a volcano including the landscapes, sceneries and panoramas, calderas, lakes, hotsprings, waterfalls, caves, etc.This paper discusses the volcano-tourism potential of Mt. Rinjani, focusing on volcanic and geological aspects as the main tourist attraction, and environmental aspect as a secondary attraction. The volcano-tourism attractions can include specific or general activities, depending on a visitor's interest, for examples for recreation, adventure or cultural activities.
