Abstract

Jari Village, located in Gondang District, Bojonegoro Regency, holds significant geotourism potential, particularly through two main geosites: Selo Gajah and Banyu Wedang. However, the lack of interpretative media and limited availability of scientific and cultural information on-site has led to low levels of public and visitor understanding regarding the importance of these geological sites. A community service program conducted by students of the Collaborative Thematic KKN (Community Service Program) from the University of Bojonegoro was carried out to design and install educational information boards that integrate scientific geological narratives with local folklore. Through a participatory approach, the program included the stages of site survey, content development, validation, and installation. The results showed that the information boards had a significant impact on improving public understanding, enriching the tourism experience, and fostering awareness of the need to preserve geological and cultural heritage. This program serves as an integrative model for developing educational and sustainable geotourism.

Abstract

Geotourism-based environmental conservation activities are a strategic effort to preserve geosites and raise public awareness of the importance of earth's heritage. Jari Village, Gondang District, Bojonegoro Regency, has the potential for geotourism in Banyu Wedang and Selo Gajah. This area is relatively arid and has minimal vegetation, necessitating geotourism-based conservation efforts involving the surrounding community. These activities aim to increase the local community's sense of ownership of the geosite, improve the ecology of the geosite, and enhance the area's aesthetic value to support geotourism development. The implementation method includes area surveys, planning and coordination, environmental education, and implementation. The 15 trees planted in Banyu Wedang are primarily food crops, consisting of 10 mango trees and 5 guava trees, as well as land clearing around Selo Gajah. The results of these activities demonstrate active community participation in tree planting in Banyu Wedang and community service at Selo Gajah. These activities are expected to enhance the area's aesthetics, prevent erosion, and raise awareness of geosite-based conservation.

Abstract

A community service activity through educational outreach on geodiversity conservation was conducted in Jari Village, Gondang District, Bojonegoro Regency, East Java. Jari Village has two potential geosites: the "Banyu Wedang" hot spring and the "Selo Gajah" stone altar, a relic of the ancient civilization. These sites offer educational, aesthetic, and economic value through geotourism development. However, this potential has not been optimally utilized due to limited public understanding and a lack of promotion as a geosite-based tourist destination. This activity aims to increase public awareness and active participation in protecting and managing the geosites as village assets with conservation value. The activity included lectures, interactive discussions, and a question-and-answer session. Speakers from the Bojonegoro Regional Planning and Development Agency (BAPPEDA) presented material on the importance of geodiversity conservation and its relationship to sustainable village development. The activity was met with enthusiasm from the community, as evidenced by the high number of participants attending and actively participating in discussions on the use of geosites for geotourism. The results of the activity indicated an increase in community understanding of the geopark concept, the benefits of geosite conservation, and the opportunities for village economic development through geotourism. With this activity, it is hoped that the community will not only be observers, but also become drivers in biodiversity conservation efforts and promoters of local tourism.
