Abstract

Geotourism concept utilizes all aspects of geology, with the scope of abiotic elements such as landscapes, rocks, minerals, fossils, soil, water, and processes, including geological history. In the Ulubelu area, there is potential for geothermal energy resources which is managed by Pertamina Geothermal Energy (PGE). In that area, there are already a Green Lake tourist destination and the potential of a coffee-plantation directly related to the community empowerment programs from PGE. Therefore, in an effort to optimize the program, research is carried out to study the potential of geotourism and destination branding strategies that can be carried out on the basis of a study of marketing- as well as environmental communications. The research was conducted in Ulubelu from July to November 2022, using the case study method. The results of the temporary study produce preliminary data that there is potential to integrate the existence of geothermal energy and coffee-plantation to be formed as geotourism objects through community-based tourism (CBT) model.

Abstract

This research was based on the condition of the Ulubelu District area, which experienced a decrease in environmental quality and coffee yield productivity. Coffee plantations in Ulubelu District, Tanggamus have experienced a reduction in productivity over the last three years. This reduction in quality is due to the age of the less productive coffee plants (30-40 years) and the lack of shade trees. This study aims to determine the effect of shade trees on coffee productivity and land conditions in coffee agroforestry systems on farmers' land. This research was carried out to increase the productivity of coffee plantations economically and ecologically. The initial stage of this research is collecting secondary data on the application of agroforestry by coffee farmers in the Ulubelu area. The results showed that Ulubelu farmers had implemented agroforestry principles, but they are not optimal in terms of the percentage of shade trees and types of trees planted. Therefore, the recommendation is to plant shade trees of Indigofera sp. with the characteristics of deep roots and the leaves are used to feed cattle
