Abstract

This community service activity aims to increase the utilization of the areca palm (Arenga pinnata Merr.) through the application of modern cultivation techniques and strengthening the marketing of processed products. The activity is located in Tobimeita Village, Nambo District, Kendari City, Southeast Sulawesi, and the partner is the Forest Farmers Group (KTH). The main problem faced by the community is the conventional management of the sugar palm (Arenga pinnata Merr.) crop, which is limited to sap production. The solutions offered in implementing the 2025 Internal Community Service at Halu Oleo University include socializing cultivation techniques for fast-growing arenga palms, selecting superior seedlings, and diversifying processed products, so that the community in Tobimeita Village can increase household income. The results of the activity show high community participation in socialization activities related to the management of arenga palm trees, as well as collaboration between the Tobimeita Village Office and Halu Oleo University. In addition to socialization, Arenga palm (Arenga pinnata Merr.) seedlings were also distributed, and the activities were published in online media. This program is expected to promote the independence of productive businesses based on NTFPs (Non-Timber Forest Products), increase household incomes, and enhance the local community's competitiveness.

Abstract

Background: Awila Hills Agrotourism is a local agricultural center characterized by diverse horticultural production, including cayenne pepper, curly chili, corn, long beans, pumpkin, mustard greens, and tomatoes. Beyond its role as a tourist attraction, this agrotourism area maintains strong economic linkages with surrounding communities, where local residents regularly purchase fresh agricultural products directly from farmers. This interaction supports a stable local market and strengthens community participation, highlighting the importance of integrated and sustainable agrotourism development. Methods: This study was conducted from April to May 2025 using a mixed-methods approach that combined qualitative and quantitative descriptive analyses. A SWOT analysis framework was applied to identify and evaluate internal and external factors influencing the development potential of Awila Hills Agrotourism, thereby supporting strategic decision-making. Findings: The analysis indicates that the Strength–Opportunity (S–O) strategy achieved the highest priority score of 3.42, making it the most feasible development strategy. This approach emphasizes leveraging internal strengths to capitalize on external opportunities. Key recommended actions include optimizing natural landscapes and visitor comfort through targeted digital media promotion, developing educational tourism packages that integrate agricultural activities with environmental learning, and maintaining cleanliness and comfort to align with government tourism development programs. Conclusion: The prioritization of the S–O strategy underscores the importance of maximizing natural resources and educational potential to increase visitor numbers and enhance local economic benefits. This strategy supports sustainable agrotourism development by balancing tourism growth, community welfare, and environmental conservation. Novelty/Originality of this Article: This study offers a strategic development model for agrotourism by integrating SWOT-based analysis with educational tourism and community economic linkages. The findings provide a practical and replicable framework for sustainable agrotourism development in similar rural and agricultural tourism destinations.

Abstract

Background: This study aims to assess the feasibility status of the development plan for Kampa Beach, a coastal destination located in Wawobili Village, West Wawonii District, within the administrative area of Konawe Islands Regency, Indonesia. Method: The study utilized a combination of purposive sampling for stakeholders, accidental sampling for 15 visitors, and a 10% sample of the 270 local residents in Wawobili Village. The research employed the ADO-ODTWA Guidelines as the methodological framework, applying seven established assessment criteria to evaluate the site’s potential for sustainable ecotourism development. Finding: The findings reveal that the Kampa Beach Tourism Area is feasible and holds strong potential to be developed into a premier ecotourism destination. The natural tourism attraction aspect achieved a very high index score of 85.14%, followed by accessibility with 82.26%. However, the accommodation availability criterion showed a relatively low score of 33.33%, while supporting facilities and infrastructure scored 60%, placing it in a mid-range category. The security criterion recorded the highest score of 91.66%, supported by environmental conditions and local community support (90%) and linkages to nearby tourist attractions (77.5%). While five criteria meet the requirements for full development, the lack of lodging and basic amenities requires immediate intervention. Conclusion: The composite calculation of all indicators yields a final average score of 74.27%, confirming Kampa Beach’s feasibility as a potential ecotourism area. The results also highlight key areas requiring priority interventions to ensure optimal and sustainable development. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study identifies a unique readiness paradox in Wawobili Village, where the natural attractiveness and community safety indices have reached elite levels (above 90%), but are hampered by severe delays in accommodation infrastructure (33%). Unlike general tourism reviews, this study identifies specific socio-technical barriers that must be overcome to transform this remote coastal site into a sustainable premier destination.

Abstract

Carbon is one of the fundamental elements forming organic matter, including living organisms, with nearly half of their biomass composed of carbon. Naturally, carbon is stored more abundantly in terrestrial and marine ecosystems than in the atmosphere, and its presence dates back to the formation of the Earth. This study aims to assess the carbon sequestration potential of agroforestry plants in Wanseriwu Village, Tiworo Tengah Subdistrict, West Muna Regency, in September 2025. The variables measured were tree diameter and total plant height. A non-destructive sampling method was applied, measuring diameter at breast height (DBH) and total plant height to estimate biomass using allometric equations, which were then converted into carbon absorption and storage data. Sampling intensity was set at 2%, with each plot measuring 20 × 20 m, from a total research area of 28 ha. Thus, the total sample area was 0.56 ha, consisting of 14 plots. The results revealed that the potential carbon sequestration of agrosilviculture plants in Wanseriwu Village reached 3,136.99 tonnes of CO₂ per year, with a carbon content of 854.76 tonnes per hectare. The high carbon value was influenced by the limited diversity of plant species, with only 10 types of vegetation recorded, as well as the lack of variation in tree age and size. These findings highlight the importance of agroforestry management in enhancing carbon sequestration capacity, while also emphasizing that vegetation diversity and stand structure play a crucial role in determining the carbon storage potential of an area.

Abstract

Sawapudo Village, known for its unique coastal features including beaches, karst cliffs, and mangrove vegetation, holds tourism potential. However, a lack of wise management has led to degradation, including mangrove loss and over-exploitation of rare species. Community involvement is crucial for sustainable management. Through Integrated Thematic Community Services in July-August 2019, efforts were made to address these issues. The activities aimed to educate the community on tourism village management, improve local skills in souvenir making, and enhance digital presence through website creation and social media management. Proposed solutions included institutional strengthening, greening tourism spots, promoting IT-based tourism, producing eco-friendly souvenirs, and establishing a village website. These initiatives aim to boost the local economy and position Sawapudo as a natural tourism destination.
