Abstract

Mangrove Ecotourism in Tanjung Batu is one of the unique tourist attractions on Lombok Island, featuring a scenic 11-hectare mangrove area with dense vegetation coverage. The site is equipped with several facilities, including a 417-meter wooden bridge, several gazebos, selfie spots, a homestay, and a café. The ecotourism management is handled by the Tourism Awareness Group (Pokdarwis) of Sekotong Tengah Village. This destination is quite popular, with no fewer than 300 tourists visiting each month. However, this area is prone to climate-related disaster risks such as tidal floods, strong winds, high waves, floods, and droughts. Additionally, the ecotourism management has mainly focused on physical aspects and lacks sufficient managerial skills for implementing a sustainable governance system. The proposed solution is to strengthen the Pokdarwis management to improve ecotourism governance, optimizing its potential to deliver greater social, economic, and environmental value while contributing to climate change adaptation and mitigation efforts. The conclusion from the community service activity is that to address these challenges, the community is committed to preserving the mangrove ecosystem, preventing disturbances from both internal and external factors, and managing ecotourism in a way that benefits the surrounding community by reducing climate-related disaster risks. Priority activities include mangrove rehabilitation and enrichment, beach cleanup, monthly management meetings, semi-annual evaluations, and promptly developing plans to strengthen the fishermen's economy through involvement in marine tourism packages

Abstract

Climate change affects agroforestry production and community resilience in forest areas. This study aims to: (1) identify vulnerabilities of forest products to climate change; (2) analyze community adaptation strategies; and (3) assess resilience levels of forest-adjacent communities. The research applied descriptive methods via field observations, interviews, and focus group discussions. From 74 residents, random sampling was used (Slovin method, 10% margin of error). Variables included economic, psychological, and social-institutional aspects. Resilience was assessed using a scoring system integrating Reivich & Shatté’s theory and a Likert scale, categorized into five levels: very high to very low. Results show that key vulnerabilities in the Sesaot forest area include harvest failures of major crops (e.g., durian, mangosteen, avocado, rambutan, cacao, coffee), with losses reaching 60–80%. Communities adapted through stratified agroforestry systems and strengthening local institutions. Resilience levels were high overall—economically moderate, but socially and psychologically strong. The study recommends improving economic resilience by reducing crop failure risks, including through the establishment of plant health clinics
