Abstract

The study of polarization of stakeholder perceptions is important to consider the policies that must be taken by area managers related to the development of interpretation programs in national park areas. This study was aimed to analyze and evaluate the characteristics of the subject of interpretation that are considered important by stakeholders, to analyze the differences in perceptions among stakeholders of the attractiveness of the subject of interpretation and to determine the polarization of perceptions of the subject of interpretation among stakeholders in relation to the management of Gunung Halimun Salak National Park (GHSNP). Stakeholder perception data was obtained by distributing a closed pattern questionnaire. Cluster analysis was used to determine the variety of stakeholder perception in interpretation subjects within the GHSNP area. As for knowing the direction and scale of the polarization of stakeholder perceptions, it was analyzed by Kruskal Wallis and Mann Whitney test. The results showed that the largest polarization among stakeholders occurred in the cultural subjects, and the direction of polarization was negative. This indicates the weak attractiveness of the subject of cultural interpretation to stakeholders. The greater commonality of perception between the community and managers forms the basis for the development of cultural interpretations. This development is expected to bridge the community's needs for the GHSNP area as well as provide stronger support for the management of the national park area.

Abstract

The application of carrying capacity has the potential to protect tourist areas, both natural and cultural, and it is also related to the lifestyle of the local community, as well as the potential of tourist destinations. The condition of the people of the Kei Islands who are still experiencing conflicts of interest in several areas causes a development that is not according to plan or can even change or destroy the character of natural and cultural resources. The purpose of this study was to analyze the condition of social values ​​related to current social carrying capacity with conditions 10 years ago. The number of respondents was 600 people who come from 10 community groups. Primary data were obtained through filling out a list of questions by respondents using a closed-ended questionnaire by applying the “one score one indicator scoring system”. Data analysis was carried out in a quantitative descriptive manner based on the average value of each indicator. To find out the difference between the current condition and the condition 10 years ago, a paired t test was conducted. The results showed that the local community's response to tourism development activities both now and 10 years ago felt positive and negative impacts. The conditions of social situations that produce positive impacts are condusive situations, associations, cooperative situations, and productive collaborations, while the negative ones were dissociation, conflict, and war. Communication and economic aspects must be the attention of the parties so that conflicts of interest can be reduced so that the development of ecotourism in the Kei Islands can be more optimal.

Abstract

The entrepreneurship aspect will determine the success of rural ecotourism development. Rural ecotourism products and services should be attractive and carefully set and packed by entrepreneurs, to attract tourists. This paper studies the external factors that may affect entrepreneurial capacity in rural ecotourism. Research was conducted in four tourist villages in Bogor Regency, namely Ciasihan, Sirnajaya, Watesjaya, and Pabuaran. The 442 respondents were divided into two groups, namely the entrepreneurial group (240 respondents) and the non-entrepreneurial group (202 respondents). Closed-ended questionnaire in “one score one indicator scoring” system pattern was provided to the respondents. Data were analysed in a quantitative descriptive manner based on the average value of each indicator. Analysis of causality between variables was conducted using logistic regression analysis. The results show that external factors that significantly affect rural ecotourism entrepreneurship are dominated by social aspects (seven factors) and some aspects of the entrepreneurship ecosystem, namely 1) market, 2) finance, and 3) business culture. The highest odds ratio is in the social interaction variable, 5.459, while the lowest is in the group solidarity variable, which is 0.323. With the odds ratio of social interaction of 5.459, it can be interpreted that if social interaction in the tourist village increases, it will tend to cause success in entrepreneurship 5.459 times higher than in the absence of social interaction. By utilising raw materials derived from natural resources, the ecotourism business will encourage business actors to be more concerned with preserving resources and forests and the environment. Therefore, entrepreneurship in the field of rural ecotourism must be optimally supported by all stakeholders involved.

Abstract

In addition to providing multiplier economic benefits, the tourism sector also has the potential to cause some latent and massive negative social impacts. For this reason, it is important to map out the orientation of the local community. This study analyzes the polarization of the local community's perceptions of sociocultural dynamics in the ecotourism development area. The local community that became the focus of the research consisted of five groups of respondents: traditional leaders, religious leaders, educational leaders, community leaders, and tourism actors. This research was conducted in the Bopunjur Ecotourism Area, Bogor Regency, West Java, precisely in seven ecotourism destinations, namely Ciawi, Caringin, Cibogo, Cipayung, Megamendung, Cisarua, and Tugu. This study used mixed methods, qualitative and quantitative approach. Data collection on social and cultural dynamics was done by distributing questionnaires to the respondents. The research instrument was a questionnaire designed closed-ended with guidance on one score-one indicator scoring system. The results showed that positive social situations, namely conducive situations, associations, cooperative situations, and productive collaborations were still more dominant than negative social situations: war, conflict, and dissociation. The polarization of the local community on sociocultural dynamics has a positive direction with a polarization scale that is aligned with each other so that there is an excellent opportunity to build productive collaboration among stakeholders in this area

Abstract

The dynamics of problems related to land occupation, ownership of cultural land, and agricultural land in Indonesia, especially in Ranah Minang, West Sumatra, have become so serious they need to be solved first before trying to achieve the ideals of sustainable development. The research methodology used in this study was a phenomenological approach. The data were analyzed through the One Score-One Criterion Scoring System. The mean values obtained for the phenomenon of cultural land-use patterns in the region were very good in many aspects. On the other hand, the dynamics of stakeholder perceptions, motivations, and preferences did not indicate any directional bias or attitudinal scale among actors over the use of cultural land. This would be different if observed in the dynamics of perception and ecotourism motivation by generating inferences of the direction polarization and attitude scale among actors. The strategy for this purpose was to optimize various aspects of land-use patterns for ecotourism development: 1) strengthening the function of cultural lands as precious treasure; 2) creating a communal business field; 3) optimizing the productivity of agricultural commodities as added value for land users; 4) establishing no-building zones in certain strategic areas as well as providing incentives to land users.

Abstract

Rural is an area that should be conserved. Conservation in the sense that its development must be in accordance with the concepts and potentials that have been passed down from generation to generation. The success of rural area development is strongly influenced by the orientation of stakeholders, including the government and NGOs. The purpose of this study is to analyze the polarization of the government and NGOs orientation towards the development of eco-rural tourism in Kerinci Regency, Jambi Province. This study used an instrument in a closed questionnaire with a One Score One Indicator Scoring System assessment pattern, with aspects assessed including socio-cultural, conservation and environmental aspects, ethnic politics, economics, regional development, tourism, and landscape ecology in six villages. The polarization of government and NGO orientations is measured by perception, then analyzed using the Kruskal Wallis statistical test by quantitative and comparative descriptive methods. The results showed that the government and NGOs stated that the concept of eco-rural tourism was relevant to be built and developed in rural areas. The direction of polarization from the orientation of the government and NGOs shows the same direction, namely a positive direction and a strong polarization scale. This means that the government and NGOs have agreed to develop their rural areas into eco-rural tourism by meeting the indicators that have been formulated. The perception of the government and NGOs will strengthen the application of this concept. This study concludes that the government and NGOs have an excellent opportunity to create collaboration in developing rural areas in accordance with the concept of eco-rural tourism.

Abstract

Tourist activities in forest areas can potentially disturb wildlife, including bird species. One of the responses to such disturbances is avoidance. This study aimed to investigate and analyze the tolerance levels of various bird species to recreational disturbances in Gunung Gede Pangrango National Park, West Java, Indonesia. The method used in this research involved “dummy tourist activities” that varied by the distance tourists walked to the birds, the number of tourists, and the noise made by tourists. The results showed that forest birds had a maximum tolerance distance for tourist activities of around 10 m, while attractive birds had a maximum tolerance distance of around 20 m. The closest distance for tourists to observe all bird species was 5 m. It is concluded that all bird species had avoidance responses to various human or tourist disturbances. Raptors and colorful birds had low tolerance responses; songbirds had a medium tolerance, and forest birds had a high tolerance. Information on the response dynamics of various bird species to recreational activities is useful for creating tourism site planning and landscape design based on ecological wildlife carrying capacity. Keywords: avoidance response, birdwatching, disturbance response, ecotourism, Gunung Gede Pangrango National Park

This number is calculated from four selected villages in Bogor regency where sampling uses purposive sampling which were divided into two groups, namely the entrepreneurial group of 240 respondents and the non-entrepreneurial group of 202 respondents . Primary data were obtained through filling out a list of questions by respondents using a closed-ended questionnaire by applying “the one score one indicator scoring system pattern”. Data analysis was carried out in a quantitative descriptive manner based on the average value of each indicator . To know the variables that have a significant effect on rural ecotourism entrepreneurship needed an analysis of the quality relationship between variables carried out using logistic regression analysis.The results showed that the significant variables that influenced rural ecotourism entrepreneurship are: 1) openness, 2) achievement motivation, 3) closed mindset, 4) innovative 5) efficient, 6) open mindset, and 7) locus of control. A qualitative approach is carried out by entering rural communities with observations and interviews, to find out the behavior and internal variables that exist in individual rural communities that form entrepreneurship.The largest Odds Ratio value was on the openness variable with a score of 3.242, which meant that if individuals in tourist villages had an openness attitude, they would tend to have entrepreneurship  3.242 times higher than those who did not have an openness attitude. Entrepreneurship in tourist villages is very important to create ecotourism businesses that can change rural resources into added value. Rural communities need to be understood fromtheir individual behavior as forming businesses in the field of rural ecotourism.

Abstract

It cannot be denied that the government, which plays the role of policy maker, and NGOs, which act as policy controllers and supervisors, are an important and inseparable part of development because their orientation (perception, motivation and participation) greatly determine the success of ecotourism development. If previous research looked at their role partially, then in this study their role is analyzed in an integral and integrated manner which refers to the working principle of two human hands, the left hand and the right hand, which, if they work together, complement each other, thus resulting in optimal, qualified and sustainable ecotourism development. This study aims to analyze the continuumof government and NGO perceptions about socio-cultural dynamics in ecotourism development in the research area. This research was conducted in the area, Bogor Regency, West Java, in seven ecotourism destinations namely Ciawi, Caringin, Cibogo, Cipayung, Megamendung, Cisarua, and Tugu. This study uses an exploratory – phenomenology approach. Data collection on social and cultural dynamics was carried out by distributing closed questionnaires to the respondents. The research instrument was a closed ended questionnaire guided by a one score one scoring system indicator (Avenzora, 2008). The polarization of government and NGO perceptions of social values and cultural values is identified from two categories, namely the direction of polarization (polarization direction) and the polarization scale (polarization scale). The results of the study show that the socio-cultural dynamics of this ecotourism area have not fully led to the formation of optimal cultural carrying capacity due to the polarization of the orientation of government and NGO stakeholders on various aspects and assessment criteria. The polarization of stakeholder orientation regarding various socio-cultural aspects has a negative direction with polarization scales that are categorized as aligned so that there is a great opportunity to build productive collaboration between stakeholders in ecotourism development in the area.
