Abstract

This study aimed to examine the qualities of bamboo-oriented strand board (BOSB) made from Dendrocalamus asper bamboo strands, both with and without steam treatment. Furthermore, the effect of exposure length to natural weathering on the physical and mechanical characteristics of BOSB was examined. The steam treatment lasted one hour at 126°C and a pressure of 0.14 MPa. Methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI) and paraffin were utilized as adhesives and additives, with concentrations of 5% and 1%, respectively, based on oven-dried weight. The BOSB was exposed to natural weathering in different exposure durations (0, 1, and 3 months) in Bukit Bogor Raya Pajajaran, West Java, Indonesia. Subsequently, the BOSB was tested for its physical and mechanical properties and retention value. The result showed that steam treatment improved the dimensional stability and mechanical properties of BOSB bonded with MDI adhesive more than untreated BOSB. However, steam treatment has a better protection level against natural degradation than untreated samples. These confirm that BOSB with steam treatment is a durable and sustainable construction material.

Abstract

This study examines the potential of a marine ecotourism scheme as a strategy for the protection and preservation of the marine environment in Nusa Penida, Bali. With the rapid growth of tourism in the region, there is an urgent need to balance economic development with environmental conservation efforts. Through qualitative research methods, including interviews, surveys, and site observations, this research explores the current state of the marine environment in Nusa Penida and assesses the feasibility and effectiveness of implementing a marine ecotourism scheme as a means of sustainable development. The findings reveal significant threats to the marine environment in Nusa Penida, including coral reef degradation, marine pollution, and habitat destruction. However, the study also identifies opportunities for conservation and sustainable management through the promotion of marine ecotourism initiatives. By engaging local communities, businesses, and government agencies in collaborative conservation efforts, a marine ecotourism scheme has the potential to generate economic benefits while simultaneously safeguarding marine biodiversity and ecosystem health. This research contributes to the growing body of knowledge on sustainable tourism development and provides practical recommendations for policymakers, stakeholders, and practitioners seeking to promote the protection and preservation of marine environments in coastal regions like Nusa Penida, Bali.
