Abstract

Despite claims of increasing electrification ratios, some regions in Indonesia still need access to PLN electricity, such as Baturotok Village, located in Batulanteh Subdistrict, Sumbawa Regency. Nevertheless, the community has endeavored to establish self-sustained lighting sources through Community-Based Micro-Hydro Power Plants (PLTMH). This article discusses the collaborative actions and community participation in building PLTMH. Additionally, this article explores the challenges and sustainability aspects of this green infrastructure. The research shows that the community benefits from the presence of PLTMH. Amidst the limitations in electricity, the Baturotok villagers enhance their knowledge and strengthen their socio-cultural networks. That encourages active and consistent participation from the community in the construction and maintenance of PLTMH. However, the coverage of PLTMH has yet to reach all residents of Baturotok Village. Thus, the anticipated improvement in welfare is not significantly visible. Future initiatives should focus on infrastructure development and enhancing the Human Resources of the Baturotok community.

Abstract

This paper aims to seek a deeper understanding of the intention to use Virtual Reality (VR)/ Augmented Reality (AR) to strengthen disaster risk reduction using the technology acceptance model (TAM) among people at risk of a tsunami. Kuta, Bali, Indonesia, was selected as a case study due to its high tsunami risk and dense tourism activities. Data is collected by interviewing 148 households living along the coast who were selected purposively based on the hazard map of the tsunami and the location of tsunami drills in the past, including the proportion of migrants and non-migrants. Studies show that technology is needed to better prepare for future tsunami risks. Despite having experience in tsunami drills, understanding evacuation routes still needs to improve. People perceived VR/AR could provide integrated knowledge and information about tsunamis, including evacuation routes and shelters. Moreover, the VR/AR technology is also perceived to complement existing knowledge and information about coastal protection generated from ecosystem services. The result shows that the intention to use VR/AR is described by the perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use. Significant differences appear among different age groups and are not merely based on migrant's status. This study has an essential impact on policymakers, particularly in proposing the implementation of VR/AR to plan disaster risk reduction effectively.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has ravaged the global tourism industry, leaving millions of people unemployed without certainty when tourism bounces back. Small Island Developing States (SIDS) are amongst the worst hit by the novel coronavirus. The unprecedented crisis has severely aggravated the SIDS economic growth due to relying on foreign tourists heavily. In the absence of international tourism, small island residents have been grappling with alternative income sources. Despite its notorious impacts, many scholars look at this global pandemic as a discernible opportunity to reverse mass tourism in the SIDS. Therefore, this paper aims to elaborate on the current condition of small islands communities amid COVID-19, their coping strategies, and their reflection of the future tourism industry in the SIDS. Furthermore, this paper also aims to discuss a prevailing policy to contain health emergency and economic collapse in the SIDS. Based on the critical literature review, many SIDS were already faced complex predicaments before the pandemic, such as high vulnerability to the climate crisis, lack of natural resources, extreme poverty, and reliance on external debts. International support is crucial to avoid the worst-case scenario for SIDS, including those which depend on the tourism industry. As a part of the recovery phase, this paper underscores the urgency of a more sustainable tourism practice for future development in the SIDS. That comprises strategic issues ranging from environmental-based tourism with a focus on socio-cultural aspects, and economic diversification to small island community resilience.
