Abstract

Aim: The objective of this paper is to review the impact of poor sanitation on global tourism development. Methodology and Results: The majority of the data for this study was sourced from World Development Indicators (WDI) dataset for more than 200 countries in 2014 from the World Bank. A regression analysis was applied to analyze the impact of access to improved sanitation on tourism development by using some indicators such as the number of tourist arrivals, the proportion of the population using improved sanitation facilities, and the proportion of the population using improved water facilities. The study found that the relationship between the proportion of the population using improved sanitation facilities and the number of tourist arrivals is significant. Poor sanitation has been shown to have huge negative impacts on public health and the economy. In terms of the economic impacts, the lack of access to improved sanitation causes economic losses related to the direct costs of treating sanitation-related diseases and the indirect cost of lost income through reduced productivity. Conclusion, significance, and impact study: Access to basic sanitation facilities is regarded as one of the aspects that should be considered to support the tourism industry, particularly in developing countries. This study suggests that providing sanitation is the best investment for promoting tourism. Decision-makers should act now, and in a concerted way, to provide adequate sanitation services and at the same time sustaining tourism growth as an essential aspect of a country’s economy.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk merumuskan strategi pengembangan ekowisata mangrove atau bakau di Desa Ketapang, Kecamatan Mauk, Kabupaten Tangerang, sebagai pendekatan terpadu untuk pelestarian ekosistem pesisir dan pemberdayaan ekonomi masyarakat lokal. Meskipun memiliki lokasi yang strategis dan potensi ekologi yang besar, ekosistem mangrove di kawasan ini menghadapi tekanan akibat alih fungsi lahan dan urbanisasi. Keberadaan Ketapang Urban Aquaculture menjadi model menjanjikan yang mengintegrasikan edukasi, konservasi, dan pariwisata. Dengan pendekatan deskriptif kualitatif, penelitian ini menerapkan analisis IFE (Internal Factor Evaluation), EFE (External Factor Evaluation), dan SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) untuk mengidentifikasi kekuatan, kelemahan, peluang, dan ancaman yang ada. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa kolaborasi lintas sektor antara masyarakat, pemerintah, dan swasta sangat penting dalam mendukung pembangunan berkelanjutan. Strategi yang disarankan meliputi diversifikasi aktivitas ekonomi, peningkatan infrastruktur wisata, serta pelaksanaan program edukasi lingkungan yang melibatkan partisipasi aktif masyarakat. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa dengan pengelolaan yang tepat dan dukungan dari berbagai pihak, Desa Ketapang berpotensi menjadi model ekowisata mangrove berkelanjutan yang menjaga kelestarian lingkungan sekaligus meningkatkan kesejahteraan masyarakat pesisir.

Abstract

The growing demand for open and distance education calls for a stronger focus on student well-being, particularly mental health. This study explores the mental health landscape at Universitas Terbuka (UT), Indonesia’s national open university, which serves a geographically dispersed and diverse student population. Employing qualitative methods, including in-depth interviews and focus group discussions (FGDs), this research aims to assess mental health needs, identify contributing stressors, and develop policy recommendations to strengthen mental health support in a distance learning context. The findings indicate that students experience anxiety, stress, and burnout, exacerbated by academic pressure, social isolation, and the absence of structured counselling services. To address these challenges, the study proposes a phased strategy: short-term awareness programs, medium-term pilot e-counselling initiatives, and long-term institutional development through a centralized mental health center. This study contributes to the field of education by offering a practical framework for integrating mental health support into distance learning environments at UT, with potential implications for similar institutions across the ASEAN region and beyond.
