Abstract

Water is a natural resource requirement needed for every living thing. Water pollution will affect water availability, so efforts are needed to fix it. The purpose of this study is to determine the quality of the water, analyze the degradation that occurs and provide recommendations for efforts that can be made to improve the ecosystem of Lake Tujuh Muara. The research location was Tujuh Muara Lake, Pamulang District, South Tangerang. The method used in this research is by using storet. Water quality data were collected at two monitoring points: the inlet and outlet areas. Observation of environmental degradation is carried out using field observations. Parameters observed in this study were biological dissolved oxygen (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), detergent and coliform group. The analysis results show Tujuh Muara Lake's water quality exceeds the class II quality standard based on Government Regulation 22 of 2021. Two parameters exceed the quality standards: BOD and COD at the inlet point of 5.60 mg/L and 27.29 mg /l. The resulting BOD and COD values at the outlet point were 16.80 mg/L and 53.50 mg/L. Degradation of the aquatic environment is known by the abundance of water hyacinth plants that thrive and the turbidity and silting of the bottom of the lake waters. Efforts that can be made to improve the lake environment are by constructing constructed wetlands, building WWTPs, and implementing sustainable ecotourism

Abstract

The Pantai Indah Kapuk (PIK) Mangrove Ecotourism is in DKI Jakarta Province. It can develop into sustainable tourism because it has good natural conditions and an easy-to-reach location. This research aims to determine the suitability index of mangrove forest tourism for sustainable tourism development. This research was conducted from February to March 2023. The method used in this research is a quantitative descriptive method. This study has two observation points to determine the thickness, density, type of vegetation, and biota objects. The results showed that this location has the potential to be used as a tourist attraction. It is supported by the value of the tourism suitability index for each research station of 68.7% at the first observation station and 62.5% at the second observation station. Rhizphora apiculata species dominate the composition of the mangrove vegetation in this location, with a density of 850 trees/ha. The thickness of the mangrove at this location is 60.4 m at the first station and 64.1 m at the second station. The biota objects found at the observation point were fish, mollusks, reptiles, and mammals. Overall, this research location is suitable for tourist attractions and can be developed to become more sustainable tourism. However, several efforts are needed to improve this suitability, such as mangrove forest rehabilitation and cooperation from various stakeholders.
