Abstract

The current trend in nature tourism has led to increased tourist visits to coastal areas, including destinations prone to disasters and previously exposed to tsunamis. This research, which aims to analyze the variables influencing tourists' desire to revisit disaster-prone areas, addresses a crucial and timely topic in tourism and disaster management. The research utilized a quantitative approach through a questionnaire-based survey of domestic tourists visiting the Pangandaran Beach Area in West Java, known for its susceptibility to tsunami disasters. The study involved 307 respondents who completed questionnaires between June and July 2023. Data analysis employed Partial Least Square – Structural Equation Model (PLS-SEM) analysis. The findings indicate a moderate level of association among the variables studied, with an R2 coefficient of 0.521. This suggests that destination image, risk perception, regional attractiveness, and knowledge of disaster risks collectively influence tourists' intentions to revisit. Notably, the variable "knowledge" did not significantly impact destination image and revisit intention but did influence risk perception. Additionally, risk perception was identified as a determinant influencing tourists' decisions to revisit Pangandaran. The research underscores the critical role of risk perception in influencing tourists' behavior in disaster-prone areas. This research highlights educating tourists about disaster risks and integrating individual factors in planning, as both influence revisits to disaster-prone destinations.

Abstract

The area of Kamojang Nature Tourism Park, which was originally only 255 hectares, has expanded to 2,391 hectares following a changes in the Nature Reserve area. This change has raised concerns and objections from various parties, as it is considered to open opportunities for exploitation, threaten biodiversity, and potentially trigger tourism activities that may degrade the environmental quality of the areaThis study aims to analyze the sustainability status index of the Kamojang Natural Tourism Park following the status downgrade from a Nature Reserve to a Natural Tourism Park. A descriptive qualitative approach used, utilizing the Multi-dimensional Scaling model to determine sustainability status. The sustainability index status of the Natural Tourism Park of Kamojang is subdivided from each of dimensions: natural tourism management, ecological or environmental, economic, disaster, socio-culture aspects. In addition, this study identifies sensitive attributes that influence the sustainability status of the Natural Tourism Park of Kamojang, which serve as a basis for developing appropriate policies to ensure the sustainable and conserved Natural Tourism Park (NTP). The results show that the sustainability index status across all five dimensions are below 50 which derived from five dimensions (tourism management, disaster, ecology/environment, economy, socio-culture) that the status is regarded as bad and less sustainable specifically of the NTP situated in of Pasirwangi, Paseh, Pacet and Kertasari sub-districts. These finding highlights the critical need for integrated, and multidimensional interventions to address systemic vulnerabilities and promote sustainable development within rural tourism ecosystems. Therefore, a comprehensive strategy for sustainable tourism development is essential in various aspects ranging from planning, capability and land feasibility to determining the carrying capacity and mitigation as well as developing activities and tourist attractions.
