Abstract

Natural tourism areas have an important role in preserving nature and encouraging local economic growth. However, uncontrolled tourism growth often causes environmental problems. Therefore, evaluating the sustainability of tourist area development is very important to ensure long-term natural sustainability, by paying attention to aspects of attractions, amenities and accessibility (3A). This research aims to evaluate the condition of the Rahong Pine Forest tourist area to support sustainable development of the area in the future. The approach used is an interdisciplinary approach that combines ecological, social and economic analysis in regional development. The research results show that the Rahong Pine Forest Tourism Area is included in the very high category. This shows that this area has great potential for natural tourism, but there are still challenges in maintaining a balance between tourism development and environmental conservation. From the research results, there are several recommendations to increase the sustainability of the development of the Rahong Pangalengan Pine Forest tourist area in the future. First, provide clear directions to the area to facilitate accessibility for tourists. Second, provide adequate transportation to the area. Third, improve road infrastructure in tourist areas to ensure comfort and safety. With these steps, it is hoped that the development of the Rahong Pine Forest tourist area can be carried out in a sustainable manner, providing economic benefits for local communities, while preserving the natural environment which is the main attraction of this area.

Abstract

Urban forest ecosystems are increasingly subject to significant anthropogenic pressures; however, the resulting ecological responses often exhibit a delayed manifestation. The Ir. H. Djuanda Forest Park (Tahura) serves as a vital urban conservation area in Bandung,  Indonesia, which has experienced a massive surge in tourist volume. This study aims to analyze the "lag effect" of visitor pressure on vegetation quality dynamics over the 2015–2025 period. A descriptive quantitative approach was employed, integrating spatial analysis via Google Earth Engine (GEE) to extract Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) values from Sentinel-2A satellite imagery. Statistical analyses, including Spearman correlation and linear regression, were conducted with time-lag intervals ranging from 0 to 5 years to identify the relationship between annual visitor numbers and the extent of high-density vegetation. The findings reveal no significant correlation at lag 0 (ρ = –0.12; p > 0.05). Conversely, a significant negative correlation emerged at lag 3 (ρ = –0.61; p < 0.05) and reached its peak at lag 5 (ρ = –0.78; p < 0.01). These results demonstrate a threshold of vegetation resistance, where physical degradation only becomes spectrally manifest after several years of cumulative disturbance. This study recommends the implementation of visitor management policies based on environmental carrying capacity that incorporate temporal variables to ensure the long-term sustainability of the Tahura Ir. H. Djuanda ecosystem.
