Abstract

Marine tourism activities in small islands have an important role in the development of Indonesia maritime sector. This study aimed to estimate the economic value of marine tourism activities in Untung Jawa Island. Individual Travel Cost Method (ITCM) was selected to analyze the level of tourism demand of Untung Jawa. Samples were taken from three different season visits are weekday, weekend, and national holidays. The results showed the factors that have an effect on the level of tourist demand of Untung Jawa Island are travel cost, income, and distance to the location. The potential economic value of marine tourism Untung Jawa Island was IDR 68,505,101,600 with consumer surplus of IDR 397,592 per individual trip. This value is higher than the average of actual visitor expenditure which reached IDR 296,860 per individual trip. Tourism activity has a positive impact on economic conditions of local communities. The results of this study have provided useful information for sustainable management of marine resources.

Abstract

Iron sand is one of the coastal natural resources that have high economic value, but the mining activities  often have a negative impact on the community and the surrounding environment, such as iron sand mining activities in Buni Asih Village, Sukabumi District. Some of the negative impacts are air pollution, decrease in productivity of agricultural land around the mining area, fishing ground becomes farther away, and the mining machine vibration disturbs people activities. This problem can lead to conflicts of natural resources utilization if not addressed immediately. One of the ways to prevent conflict is through community empowerment with integrated and sustainable way. LPPM Surya University in cooperation with BP3IPTEK West Java Province conducted community empowerment activities with the theme of innovative farming and environmental rehabilitation. There are four activities implemented: (1) establishment of Community Training Center (CTC) as the facility for training skills and transfer of technology, (2) Agricultural training with the hydroponic system, (3) microalgae cultivation training, and (4) Greening the environment through planting of breadfruit. The results of the activities showed high enthusiasm and community participation. There were more than 100 people involved in various training held. Agricultural training is considered the most successful program with a high level of understanding, mastery of material and interest to apply the technology. This program will make the community more independent, adaptive to the changes in surrounding environment, and will be able to reduce the conflict potential of coastal resource utilization.

Abstract

Housing and business centers are growing rapidly in the urban area. This causes agricultural land and other green lands increasingly narrow due to land conversion. One area affected by land conversion is Lengkong Kulon Village, Tangerang Regency, where most of the agricultural land has been turned into a residential area and business center. This condition has an impact on food availability which is getting lower and environmental quality is declining. To overcome these problems, Surya University, supported by the Ministry of Research, Technology, and Higher Education (Kemenristekdikti), organized community service activities by pioneering sustainable green villages and adequate nutrition through vertical farming. This program was implemented by the workshop and participatory community. The number of participants involved in this activity was more than 25 people from youth groups concerned about the environment, PKK members, and university students. This activity consisted of three stages: Community awareness building, Vertical and organic farming training, and Providing vertical farming equipment assistance packages. The result of this community service showed that participants knowledge about organic farming and vertical farming increased from 26% to 86% and from 11% to 72%, respectively. In addition, the level of community skills to apply organic farming systems also increased from 15% to 80%, and for vertical farming increased from 7% to 60%. This activity is expected to improve environmental conditions as well as food access for target communities through consumption of sufficients vegetables and fruits grown using the vertical farming system. Bahasa Indonesia Abstrak: Abstrak Pesatnya pembangunan komplek perumahan dan pusat bisnis di perkotaan telah menyebabkan semakin sempitnya lahan pertanian dan lahan hijau lainnya akibat alih fungsi lahan. Salah satu wilayah yang terkena dampak alih fungsi lahan adalah Kampung Lengkong Kulon, Desa Lengkong Kulon, Kabupaten Tangerang di mana sebagian besar lahan pertaniannya telah berubah menjadi kawasan perumahan dan pusat bisnis. Kondisi ini telah berimplikasi pada ketersediaan pangan yang semakin rendah serta kualitas lingkungan yang menurun. Untuk mengatasi permasalahan tersebut, Universitas Surya yang didukung oleh Kementristekdikti menyelenggarakan kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat dengan tema rintisan kampung hijau lestari dan cukup gizi melalui vertical farming. Program ini dilaksanakan menggunakan model workshop dan participatory community. Jumlah peserta yang terlibat dalam kegiatan ini yaitu lebih dari 25 orang, yang berasal dari kelompok pemuda peduli lingkungan, ibu-ibu PKK, anggota posyandu, serta kelompok mahasiswa. Tahapan kegiatan ini meliputi pembangunan kesadaran masyarakat (community awareness), pelatihan vertical farming dan pertanian organik, serta pemberian paket bantuan peralatan vertical farming. Hasil evaluasi pelatihan menunjukkan bahwa terjadi peningkatan pengetahuan masyarakat tentang pertanian organik dari semula hanya 26% menjadi 86%, sedangkan untuk vertical farming dari semula 11% meningkat menjadi 72%. Tingkat keterampilan masyarakat untuk menerapkan sistem pertanian organik juga meningkat dari semula hanya 15% menjadi 80%, sementara untuk untuk vertical farming dari semula 7% meningkat menjadi 60%. Kegiatan ini diharapkan dapat memperbaiki kondisi lingkungan serta adanya peningkatan akses pangan bagi masyarakat sasaran melalui konsumsi sayuran dan buahbuahan yang cukup, yang ditanam menggunakan sistem vertical farming.
