Abstract

In sustainable development, Green Tourism integrates environmental preservation, community empowerment, and tourism attractions. This paper aims to develop a strategy for integrating Green Tourism into Tapanuli Tengah Regency's maritime tourism industry. This area continues to deal with a number of classic challenges, such as disorganized tourism administration, poor waste management, and a disregard for accommodations and accessibility. A comprehensive review of the regulations that were implemented in place is backed by a mixed methodology that uses the Soft System Methodology for Visitor Satisfaction Index (VSI) values and responses from different respondents. The research findings, with a satisfaction level of 80.4%, demonstrate that tourists are happy with the tourism activities. There are nonetheless, certain demands made by the guests. Planning for a more methodical and sustainable development necessitates careful consideration of current policies.The research findings outline a number of issues and their resolutions, such as the creation of first-rate amenities, instruction for operators of tourism-related businesses, the application of standard operating procedures (SOP) to ensure price parity for goods and services, and a recommendation to launch a flight route from Jakarta to Tapanuli Tengah in order to facilitate outside tourists coming to the region.

Abstract

Indonesia is known as an “undersea paradise” because of its extraordinary wealth of marine biodiversity and fishery resources. With this nickname, coastal communities should have a decent life. However, in reality, their welfare is not in line with the wealth of marine resources, especially for fishermen. The lives of fishermen are often colored by economic challenges, weather uncertainty, and environmental changes that impact their welfare. This study aims to identify sources of livelihood, identify levels of welfare, and identify livelihood strategies carried out by fishing households. Through a survey that we conducted on 35 small-scale fishing households on the West Coast of North Sumatra, we found that most of them were still classified as less prosperous. Although the livelihood analysis shows that their sources of income are quite diverse, the contribution of income outside of fishing has not been able to improve their level of welfare. The results of this study also show that fishermen are not a passive group of people. Realizing the uncertainty in their livelihoods, they try to take advantage of existing opportunities by implementing livelihood strategies. The livelihood strategies carried out by fishermen are classified into economic dimensions, ecological dimensions, and social dimensions.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the perception of coastal communities in Central Tapanuli towards waste management as an effort to maintain marine sustainability and formulate waste utilization activities as an effort to increase the income of coastal communities in Central Tapanuli. The research method used in this study is a mixed research method. This study was conducted in three locations, namely in Lubuk Tukko Baru Village and Muara Nibung Village, Pandan District and in Jago Jago Village, Badiri District with a total of 100 respondents in the study. Based on the results of the study, the results of the perception of "community understanding of waste management in coastal areas" were obtained with an overall average value of 91.16%, meaning that all respondents strongly agreed or understood very well. Then for the results of the perception of "understanding of coastal environmental cleanliness and waste utilization to increase family income" the overall average result was 53%, with the category sometimes or less understanding. Then the results of several activities were obtained that were appropriate for coastal communities in Central Tapanuli Regency in utilizing waste as an effort to increase income with the management categories divided between organic waste and non-organic waste. Organic waste is very possible to be used for maggot cultivation activities or commonly called Black Soldier Fly (BSF) maggots and making candles and soap for households from used cooking oil. Then for non-organic waste, it is very possible to carry out activities to form a Waste Bank, establish a skills center that provides economic added value, and implement cooperation with private and government companies in managing non-organic waste.

Abstract

Fishermen are a group of people whose livelihood is very dependent on the condition of the marine ecosystem. Ecological damage in their waters caused by the impact of climate variability and illegal fishing activities causes their livelihoods to be threatened. This research uses a mixed research approach, namely quantitative and qualitative. Quantitative data was obtained through surveys of respondents with the help of questionnaires while qualitative data was obtained through in-depth interviews. The research found that lift net fishing households were in a vulnerable condition with a value of +0.23. This research also reveals that fishing households implement natural resource-based and non-natural resource-based livelihood strategies. These efforts are made so that fishermen can live and exist in society.

Abstract

As a popular tourist attraction, the Binasi Beach ecotourism area is always busy receiving visits from domestic and foreign tourists when the holiday season arrives. However, the management of ecotourism objects is not optimal, sometimes this makes ecotourism not much visited on weekdays or on weekends. This has an impact on ecotourism activities that are not really felt by local people who depend on these ecotourism activities. The research was carried out from June to August 2023. The research used an exploratory qualitative approach. The data used uses primary data obtained through interviews with various elements and measurements of water quality and water ecology. Meanwhile, secondary data was collected from various related document sources. Data analysis was carried out using Willingness to Pay (WTP), Willingness to Accept (WTA), economic potential analysis, SWOT analysis, Reliability test and Validity test. The results of the study indicate that the development strategy can be pursued by adding supporting facilities such as providing information boards for tourists regarding directions, location of supporting facilities and the furthest water point that is safe for swimming. The addition of environmentally friendly play facilities is also highly anticipated by tourists. Creative local economic products that can be developed are Kepek Gadapang and Turtle Themed Crafts. Furthermore, the government can issue policies to provide routine guidance and access to capital for businesses run by local communities.

Abstract

Tourists turn to rural tourism because of its distinctiveness in relation to nature, the hospitality of the locals, and its unique food. However, Central Tapanuli Regency's tourism growth remains uneven due to a lack of infrastructure, knowledge, and policies that prioritize urban regions. The Central Tapanuli Regency Government has to create a tourist strategy that takes coastal rural development into account. In Central Tapanuli Regency, the Smart Rural Tourism Model (PARIPEDAS) encourages the growth of tourism by utilizing village potential, community engagement, natural preservation, and local knowledge. The study employs a mixed methodological approach to ascertain policymakers' perspectives, assess the function of rural communities, and develop a PARIPEDAS model using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) analysis based on Central Tapanuli Regency's coastline potential. While the PARIPEDAS model requires more research to be in line with regional development plans, the research determined that the ideal approach was to empower and include coastal communities in the implementation of tourism and development, concentrating on the distinctive value of tourist attractions and protection of natural assets.

Abstract

The potential of marine, fisheries, and tourism resources in Tapanuli Tengah Regency is increasingly threatened by the growing accumulation of unmanaged waste. Piled-up waste in coastal settlements, mangrove forest areas, and marine waters has caused severe degradation of coastal ecosystems and a decline in environmental quality. This study aims to identify the types of waste found in the coastal and marine areas of Tapanuli Tengah Regency and to formulate relevant waste management strategies to preserve the marine environment while improving the economy of fishing households. This research employs a case study method with qualitative descriptive analysis and SWOT analysis. The findings indicate that inorganic waste—particularly plastic—dominates the coastal and marine areas, followed by styrofoam, baby diapers, and fabric waste. These types of waste were found accumulating at the research locations: Mela I Village, Pondok Batu Village, Hajoran Village, and Jago-Jago Village. Based on the SWOT analysis, several recommended waste management strategies include environmental awareness and education programs for coastal communities, the development of facilities for sorting organic and inorganic waste, the establishment of Waste Banks at the village or sub-district level, the development of handicrafts made from plastic waste, composting of organic waste, and regular community-led “clean and waste-free sea” activities initiated by the local government and residents. These strategies are expected to support marine conservation and strengthen the economic resilience of fishing families.
