Abstract

The perception of tourists is one of the most important aspects in the development of a tourist area, especially tourism that emphasizes the aspects of education and conservation. This study aims to find information on the perception of tourists in the development of conservation-based education tourism. The method used is survey method and the sample in this research is the tourists and related stakeholder in development. Determination of the number of samples in the population using Slovin formula, so the result at least 100 tourists. Data analysis is descriptively quantitative. The location of the study was conducted at the Elephant Conservation Center (PKG) Way Kambas National Park (TNWK). The results of interviews to 200 respondents known as 98% of respondents who come to PKG aims to travel elephants, 1% doing research and 1% work visit activities and other activities. Perceptions of elephant attractions are classified as Good (44%), 18% is not good. Besides, there were also perception study on service at Elephant Conservation Center (PKG), 53% stated good service, 53% stated facilities good enough, 55% said tourism tourism in PKG quite good, while 57% accessibility to tourism object is not good, and 90% agreed if in the PKG developed into educational tours bebasis konsevasi.Hasil this study is expected to be a reference for managers in developing PKG TNWK become one of the elephant conservation tourism destination in Lampung Province.

Abstract

Abstract. This study aims to determine the potential of fresh water swamp forest as alternative ecotourism of Sumatran elephants (Elephas maximus sumatranus). The data collection of flora was done by the printed path method, with sampling intensity (IS) 10% so that obtained 34 observation plots; then elephants behaviors were taken at 07.00 - 17.00 WIB for 7 days. The data behaviors of elephants were recorded using a sampling scan method, for 60 minutes by recording the incidence of behavior within 60 seconds. Data were analyzed by calculating the important value index, the Shannon-Wiener diversity index, and descriptif analysis. The results showed that there were 25 types of vegetation with 5 species that have the highest important index value. The diversity of vegetation types based on Shannon-Wiener's diversity index is moderate, 99% of species found are natural feeds favored by Sumatran elephants. Most of the elephant activity is eating (32%), 17% group, 17% rest, and exploring as much as 12%, while salting is done when elephants feel the need for minerals. The management can do reforestation to increase the diversity of vegetation type, especially the Sumatran elephant's natural food species, so that its existence can support the preservation of elephant and educational tourism based on Sumatran elephant conservation.
