Abstract

Background: Awila Hills Agrotourism is a local agricultural center characterized by diverse horticultural production, including cayenne pepper, curly chili, corn, long beans, pumpkin, mustard greens, and tomatoes. Beyond its role as a tourist attraction, this agrotourism area maintains strong economic linkages with surrounding communities, where local residents regularly purchase fresh agricultural products directly from farmers. This interaction supports a stable local market and strengthens community participation, highlighting the importance of integrated and sustainable agrotourism development. Methods: This study was conducted from April to May 2025 using a mixed-methods approach that combined qualitative and quantitative descriptive analyses. A SWOT analysis framework was applied to identify and evaluate internal and external factors influencing the development potential of Awila Hills Agrotourism, thereby supporting strategic decision-making. Findings: The analysis indicates that the Strength–Opportunity (S–O) strategy achieved the highest priority score of 3.42, making it the most feasible development strategy. This approach emphasizes leveraging internal strengths to capitalize on external opportunities. Key recommended actions include optimizing natural landscapes and visitor comfort through targeted digital media promotion, developing educational tourism packages that integrate agricultural activities with environmental learning, and maintaining cleanliness and comfort to align with government tourism development programs. Conclusion: The prioritization of the S–O strategy underscores the importance of maximizing natural resources and educational potential to increase visitor numbers and enhance local economic benefits. This strategy supports sustainable agrotourism development by balancing tourism growth, community welfare, and environmental conservation. Novelty/Originality of this Article: This study offers a strategic development model for agrotourism by integrating SWOT-based analysis with educational tourism and community economic linkages. The findings provide a practical and replicable framework for sustainable agrotourism development in similar rural and agricultural tourism destinations.

Abstract

Bats (Chiroptera) play important ecological roles in tropical island ecosystems, yet information on their community structure in small island systems remains limited. This study aims to analyze species composition, abundance, and habitat associations of bat communities in Wakatobi. Field surveys were conducted in September 2023 across three islands (Wangi-wangi, Kaledupa, and Tomia) using a combination of mist nets and roost observations. A total of 10 sampling points were established, consisting of 5 cave sites, 3 mangrove sites, and 2 terrestrial vegetation sites, with one mist net deployed at each point. Data were analyzed using diversity indices (Shannon-Wiener and Simpson), descriptive abundance analysis, and multivariate approaches including Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and PERMANOVA. A total of 1,604 individuals representing five species from three genera (Pteropus, Rousettus, and Hipposideros) were recorded. The community was strongly dominated by frugivorous bats, particularly Pteropus pumilus (84.47%), which was primarily associated with mangrove and terrestrial vegetation habitats. In contrast, cave habitats were dominated by insectivorous species such as Hipposideros galeritus. Diversity indices indicated low species diversity but high dominance, especially in mangrove habitats. PCA results revealed a clear ecological gradient separating vegetation and cave habitats, with the first two components explaining 100% of total variation (Dim1 = 71.7%; Dim2 = 28.3%). These findings demonstrate strong habitat-driven community structuring and niche differentiation among bat species. This study represents the first assessment of bat community structure in Wakatobi using a PCA-based multivariate approach, providing new insights into habitat–species relationships in small island ecosystems. The results highlight the importance of conserving mangrove and cave habitats as complementary systems supporting bat diversity and ecosystem functions.
