Abstract

Surabaya as the capital of East Java Province has a tourism attraction based on mangrove ecosystems namely Wonorejo Mangrove Ecotourism. Interest to the growth of loyalty to the destination depends on service quality, motivation, and destination image. Service quality as the heart of marketing and one of the concepts of loyalty success determines the sustainability of a tourist destination in the future. In addition, motivation is also considered as the main driver for traveling. However, this depends on destination image in the minds of tourists. The purpose of this study was to analyze the direct and indirect relationship between service quality and motivation towards destination loyalty, which is mediated by destination image. From 276 online and offline questionnaires distributed to local tourists who visited or visited the Wonorejo Mangrove Ecotourism in the past years, 182 questionnaires were filled in completely. Data analysis used WarpPLS to examine the relationship of influence between variables. The results showed that service quality and motivation had a positive and significant effect on destination loyalty directly or mediated by destination image. Destination loyalty can be effectively increased by encouraging visitor motivation supported by an increase in destination image because the value of the total influence was at the largest of 0.443.

Abstract

Perpaduan antara konsep pariwisata dan konservasi menjadi tren pengelolaan wisata masa depan. Ekowisata Clungup Mangrove Conservation (CMC) di Kabupaten Malang, Indonesia merupakan salah satu community based ecotourism yang konsisten menerapkan prinsip ekowisata. Adanya perbedaan kepedulian lingkungan di antara pengunjung ataupun masyarakat, termasuk generasi milenial, menyebabkan minat berkunjung ke destinasi ekowisata CMC yang telah menerapkan prinsip ekowisata pun belum seberapa pulih. Untuk itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk (1) menganalisis peran kepedulian lingkungan generasi milenial dalam menentukan minat berkunjung dan (2) menganalisis peran konstruk TPB (theory of planned behavior) dalam memediasi pengaruh kepedulian lingkungan terhadap minat berkunjung. Penelitian eksplanatori ini menggunakan metode survei terhadap pengunjung milenial domestik ekowisata pesisir CMC Tiga Warna pada bulan Mei—Juni 2022. Responden penelitian ini sebanyak 628 pengunjung. Metode analisis data menggunakan SEM-WarpPLS. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa adanya kepedulian lingkungan generasi milenial dapat menentukan minat berkunjung ke ekowisata pesisir karena efektifnya peran mediasi konstruk TPB (sikap, norma subjektif, dan persepsi kontrol perilaku). Temuan riset ini memperluas penerapan TPB karena menempatkan konstruk TPB sebagai mediating variable peran kepedulian lingkungan terhadap minat kunjungan wisatawan milenial ke ekowisata pesisir. Perlu peningkatan persepsi kontrol perilaku sebagai prediktor utama minat berwisata, disusul dengan peningkatan norma subjektif ataupun sikap. Pemerintah daerah perlu terus menjaga situasi perekonomian agar kondusif sehingga memampukan ekonomi masyarakat termasuk untuk pengeluaran berwisata, membuat pengunjung yakin, mau, dan mampu, serta memiliki sumber daya yang cukup mendukung pengeluaran untuk berwisata. Title : Millennial Visit Intention to the Clungup Mangrove Conservation (CMC) Tiga Warna Coastal Ecotourism in Malang Regency, East JavaThe integration of tourism with conservation principles is a future tourist management trend. Clungup Mangrove Conservation (CMC) ecotourism in Malang Regency, Indonesia, is a community-based ecotourism that adheres to the ecotourism idea. The CMC ecotourism destination, which has applied the philosophy of ecotourism that has not yet recovered, attracts visitors, including millennials, because of their environmental concerns. For this reason, this study aims to (1) analyze the role of the millennial generation’s environmental concern in determining the visit intention, (2) analyze the role of the TPB construct (Theory of Planned Behavior) in mediating the influence of environmental concern on the visit intention. This explanatory research uses a survey method for domestic visitors to the “CMC Tiga Warna” coastal ecotourism in May-June 2022. These research respondents were 628 domestic visitors. The data analysis method uses SEM-WarpPLS. Due to the successful involvement of TPB construct mediation (attitudes, subjective norms, and perceptions of behaviour control), millennials’ environmental concerns may impact their interest in coastal ecotourism. TPB’s construct position as a mediator variable between environmental concern and millennial visitors’ visit intention in coastal ecotourism boosted its utilisation. As the main predictor of visit intention, behavioural control must be increased, followed by subjective norms and attitudes. Local governments must keep the economy healthy to keep travel expenses rising. They also require enough money for trip.

Introduction: The presence of ecotourism is more oriented toward environmental conservation, utilization of natural resources, cultural preservation, and economic benefits. However, post-COVID-19 pandemic tourist visits to the Kampung Blekok mangrove ecotourism have not recovered, and the condition of the ecotourism is not maintained and is damaged. This research aims to analyze the influence of digital marketing, electronic word of mouth, and interest in visiting on the decision to visit the Kampung Blekok mangrove ecotourism. Methods: Data collection on ecotourism behavior was obtained from 172 respondents using a questionnaire. The data analysis technique used was Structural Equation Modeling Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) with WarpPLS version 8.0. Results: The results of the research analysis show that digital marketing and eWOM produce a positive and significant influence on visit intention and decision. The mediating role of visiting interest in the relationship between digital marketing and eWOM on visiting decisions is partial. Mangrove ecotourism managers in Kampung Blekok can optimize digital marketing and eWOM strategies, and adapt to current tourism situations and trends. Conclusion: Digital marketing and eWOM are important in shaping visit interest and determining tourist decisions. Changes in tourist behavior using digital media can be a tool for progressing the ecotourism business by increasing tourists' visiting decisions.

Abstract

Graphical Abstract Highlight Research Financial Well-being is the result of the interaction between cognitive factors (literacy), psychological factors (attitude, self-efficacy), and behavior, but, it is closely associated with the psychological domain. Strengthening financial literacy programs by combining practical (skills and behavior) and attitudinal (attitude toward money) components to improve FSE, which in turn enhances the FWB of fishermen in Karanggongso Coast. This research expands the financial adaptation paradox to coastal fishing communities, highlighting the unique determinants, such as cognitive, psychological, and behavioral factors that shape their financial outcomes in their pursuit of FWB. Future studies should incorporate non-financial behavior mediating variables and use financial well-being measurements that consider psychological and financial aspects to test direct and indirect pathways.   Abstract Karanggongso Coast is one of the significant hubs for capture fisheries, which serves as a buffer zone in Trenggalek, Indonesia. Small-scale fishing dominates the local livelihood system, and focusing on a dual livelihood system created by its location as a favorite tourist destination. Nevertheless, the community contends with persistent financial instability, characterized by incomeexpenditure imbalances and vulnerability to external shocks. The study aims to analyze the relationships between financial literacy, financial self-efficacy, and financial attitude on financial well-being, with financial behavior as a mediating variable among fishers in Trenggalek Regency, East Java, Indonesia. This study used Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) – Partial Least Square (PLS) to test the relationships between financial literacy, financial self-efficacy, and financial attitude on financial well-being, with financial behavior as a mediating variable. This research was conducted from August to December 2024. The results indicate that directly the variables FL and FSE have a significant positive effect on FWB; FSE significantly improved FWB, whereas FL had direct significant effect on FWB but FSE and FA have a significant negative effect on FB, and FL has no effect on FB. Meanwhile, the variable FB has a significant negative effect on FWB. Then it is known that FB does not mediate the relationship between these factors on FWB. Thus, this study recommends targeted financial support strategies by combining practical and attitudinal (attitude toward financial) components to improve financial self-efficacy, which in turn enhances financial well-being. The study examines determinants of FWB and tests whether FB mediates these relationships. Future research should include non-financial behavioral intervening variables, such as socio-cultural, and use of financial well-being measures that consider both psychological and financial aspects.

Abstract. Abidin Z, Setiawan B, Muhaimin AW, Shinta A. 2021. The role of coastal biodiversity conservation on sustainability and environmental awareness in mangrove ecosystem of southern Malang, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 22: 648-658. Southern coast of Malang, East Java, Indonesia has several mangrove ecosystems used for ecotourism, such as Clungup Mangrove Conservation Tiga Warna (CMC Tiga Warna). This area has consistently implemented ecotourism principles. Previously, it was assumed to be vulnerable from the damage due to differences in environmental awareness of ecotourists and local communities. This study aims to (i) describe the strategy of coastal biodiversity conservation to enhance environmental awareness and its sustainability; (ii) analyze the role of conservation on sustainability and environmental awareness, with sustainability as a mediating variable between conservation and environmental awareness. Data analysis was conducted with descriptive and Warp Partial Least Square (WarpPLS). The results indicate that empirical facts of conservation, sustainability, and environmental awareness in CMC Tiga Warna are relevant to the result of statistical analysis. Conservation is believed to form the environmental awareness of ecotourists and local communities and to maintain the sustainability of ecotourism destinations. In addition, the sustainability of ecotourism destinations serves as an effective mediator between conservation and environmental awareness, along with the modeling of environmental awareness enhancement in conservation-based coastal ecotourism. The proposed model explains that sustainability and environmental awareness variances are 23% and 25%, respectively. In summary, Destination Marketing and Management Organization of CMC Tiga Warna ecotourism is believed to improve environmental awareness of ecotourist and local communities by strengthening coastal biodiversity conservation programs in ecotourism areas and in maintaining sustainability.

Abstract

Abstrak: Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat di, Kecamatan Wates, Kabupaten Kediri, dilaksanakan untuk menjawab tantangan tingginya biaya pakan ikan (> 60% biaya produksi). Budidaya ikan nila dan gurame oleh Pokdakan “Mina Buana” kesulitan mempertahankan usaha akibat ketergantungan pada pakan pabrikan. Solusi yang Pokdakan pilih adalah implementasi teknologi tepat guna (TTG) budidaya Azolla pinnata sebagai pakan alternatif serta edukasi analisis finansial sederhana. Untuk itu, kegiatan ini bertujuan untuk (1) Meningkatkan kemampuan pembudidaya ikan dalam menerapkan teknologi budidaya Azolla pinnata sebagai pakan alternatif, (2) Memperkuat keterampilan analisis finansial sederhana untuk menghitung efisiensi usaha budidaya, dan (3) Menumbuhkan kemandirian dan keberlanjutan usaha perikanan desa melalui penerapan teknologi tepat guna. Pokdakan "Mina Buana" sebagai mitra kegiatan berjumlah 10 orang. Metode yang diterapkan meliputi survei kondisi mitra, pelatihan budidaya azolla, praktik penerapan langsung, edukasi finansial, serta evaluasi berbasis pre-test, post-test, dan analisis biaya. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan bahwa substitusi 30% pakan pabrikan dengan pakan alami menurunkan biaya produksi dari Rp1.862.000 menjadi Rp1.502.900 tanpa mengurangi produktivitas ikan, sehingga keuntungan usaha meningkat dari kerugian Rp137.000 menjadi laba Rp222.100. Temuan ini membuktikan bahwa penggunaan pakan alternatif berbasis azolla mampu meningkatkan efisiensi finansial, mendorong kemandirian pembudidaya, serta membuka peluang keberlanjutan usaha perikanan desa. Kegiatan juga menghasilkan luaran berupa peningkatan keterampilan teknis, analisis finansial sederhana, serta distribusi sarana kolam dan bibit azolla bagi peserta.Abstract: Community service activities in Wates Subdistrict, Kediri Regency, were carried out to address the challenge of high fish feed costs (> 60% of production costs). Tilapia and gurame fish farming by the “Mina Buana” Pokdakan (Fish Farmers Group) had difficulty maintaining their business due to their dependence on factory-made feed. The solution chosen by the group was the implementation of appropriate technology (TTG) for cultivating Azolla pinnata as an alternative feed, as well as education on simple financial analysis. Therefore, this activity aims to (1) improve fish farmers' ability to apply Azolla pinnata cultivation technology as an alternative feed, (2) strengthen simple financial analysis skills to calculate the efficiency of cultivation businesses, and (3) foster independence and sustainability of village fisheries through the application of appropriate technology. There were 10 members of the “Mina Buana” Pokdakan (fisheries group) who participated in the activity. The methods applied included a survey of the partners' conditions, azolla cultivation training, direct application practice, financial education, and evaluation based on pre-tests, post-tests, and cost analysis. The results of the activity show that substituting 30% of manufactured feed with natural feed reduces production costs from IDR 1,862,000 to IDR 1,502,900 without reducing fish productivity, thereby increasing business profits from a loss of IDR 137,000 to a profit of IDR 222,100. These findings prove that the use of azolla-based alternative feed can improve financial efficiency, encourage farmer independence, and open up opportunities for sustainable village fisheries. The activity also resulted in improved technical skills, simple financial analysis, and the distribution of ponds and azolla seedlings to participants.
