Abstract

Tourism in Indonesia now plays a significant role in providing benefits to the country's economic, social, and cultural activities. The development of nature-based tourism, or what we know as ecotourism, which emphasizes local culture and wisdom, is now being widely considered in various regions to attract tourists. Data management was carried out by analyzing community perception questionnaires related to the potential and distribution of ecotourism in the form of graphs of respondent personal data, ecotourism attractions, ecotourism facilities, community participation, and environmental impacts. Also, inputting tourist location coordinate data into ArcGIS 10.8 software, then creating a database that will be supplemented with non-spatial data. The results of the study, based on a tourist survey and questionnaire results, showed that the 10 ecotourism locations were favored by both local and foreign tourists in terms of facilities, ecotourism location attractions, community participation, and environmental impacts of the ecotourism locations.

Abstract

Macrobenthos is a biological resource of water that lives at the bottom of the waters with characteristics that have a high level of sensitivity to changes in environmental quality as a bioindicator of pollution and environmental quality. The purpose of this study was to determine the diversity of macrobenthos as an indicator of pollution in the coastal waters of Kotania. Descriptive research with a random sampling method with a square transect. Data collection through observation of macrobenthos populations. The results of the macrobenthos diversity study obtained were in the Gastropoda class with six families namely Cerithiidae, Neritidae, Mitridae, Nassariidae, Littorinidae and Potamididae consisting of nine species namely Cerithium coniculatum, Nerita polita, Nerita patula, Nerita alveolus, Mitra pica, Nasarius pullus, Litorina scabra, Terebralia palustris and Telescopium telescopium, which shows its role as a potential bioindicator associated with dissolved oxygen, water clarity, and higher nutrient levels, indicating its suitability as an indicator of mild to moderate pollution conditions. These findings indicate that macrozoobenthos communities respond sensitively to land use changes and can effectively indicate variations in coastal water quality
