Abstract

The discourse of the West Aceh government and the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy, which aims to develop the Kuala Bubon West Aceh mangrove forest area into an ecotourism site to boost the community's economy, has drawn attention from many parties. This is due to the rich biodiversity present in the mangrove forest. Pre-ecotourism studies need to be conducted to ensure that the use of this forest can be managed properly, including studying potential tourist attractions, analyzing negative impacts, and engineering a sustainable ecotourism management industry. This involves using an industrial engineering approach, which offers an optimal framework for achieving these goals. The research was conducted in the Kuala Bubon mangrove forest, West Aceh, in July 2024. Survey techniques and direct observation were used to gather data on the ecotourism potential in the Kuala Bubon mangrove forest. This potential data will be mapped using Quantum GIS and then analyzed to assess the potential and impact of environmental damage as part of ecotourism and the ecosystem. The impact of the damage will then be addressed with alternative industrial engineering solutions, creating an effective management design using AutoCAD. The research results identified five ecotourism attraction points: sunset observation ecotourism, flora & fauna exploration, fishing, duck games, and shellfish searching. Based on this potential, a negative impact analysis and industrial engineering of the ecotourism area will be conducted, focusing on three aspects: infrastructure, waste management, and the utilization of renewable energy.Type your abstract here.

Abstract

The issue of developing the Kuala Bubon mangrove forest in West Aceh as an ecotourism destination has emerged and is widely discussed in the public sphere, gaining much sympathy and support from the community, considering the forest’s high biodiversity of flora and fauna. However, ecotourism activities, if not properly managed, can pose a serious threat to the sustainability of the ecosystem, such as unplanned infrastructure development that damages the habitats of various flora and fauna. Therefore, ecotourism needs to be managed effectively through pre-ecotourism studies, particularly the design of sustainable infrastructure spatial planning. The goal of this research is to create a site plan for sustainable ecotourism infrastructure integrated with the mangrove ecosystem. This design ensures that the negative impacts of infrastructure development in ecotourism areas can be minimized through the application of sustainable strategies and practices. The stages of this research include: 1. Documenting the potential of natural resources as ecotourism attractions and ecological conditions, 2. Mapping spatial data on ecotourism potential using GIS applications, 3. Designing spatial infrastructure for supporting ecotourism by considering the needs of ecotourism and selecting areas that do not harm the habitats of flora and fauna using AutoCAD. The research was conducted in the Kuala Bubon mangrove forest, West Aceh, from July to August 2024. The results of the research identified six ecotourism potential points, including: 1) Ecotourism boat tours for flora and fauna observation, 2) Open-air camping ecotourism, 3) Fishing ecotourism, 4) Birdwatching ecotourism, 5) Recreational boating ecotourism, and 6) Sunset ecotourism with a coffee shop and heron watching. The spatial planning of ecotourism infrastructure becomes crucial as the foundation for sustainable ecotourism development.
