Abstract

In sustainable development, Green Tourism integrates environmental preservation, community empowerment, and tourism attractions. This paper aims to develop a strategy for integrating Green Tourism into Tapanuli Tengah Regency's maritime tourism industry. This area continues to deal with a number of classic challenges, such as disorganized tourism administration, poor waste management, and a disregard for accommodations and accessibility. A comprehensive review of the regulations that were implemented in place is backed by a mixed methodology that uses the Soft System Methodology for Visitor Satisfaction Index (VSI) values and responses from different respondents. The research findings, with a satisfaction level of 80.4%, demonstrate that tourists are happy with the tourism activities. There are nonetheless, certain demands made by the guests. Planning for a more methodical and sustainable development necessitates careful consideration of current policies.The research findings outline a number of issues and their resolutions, such as the creation of first-rate amenities, instruction for operators of tourism-related businesses, the application of standard operating procedures (SOP) to ensure price parity for goods and services, and a recommendation to launch a flight route from Jakarta to Tapanuli Tengah in order to facilitate outside tourists coming to the region.

Abstract

Indonesia is known as an “undersea paradise” because of its extraordinary wealth of marine biodiversity and fishery resources. With this nickname, coastal communities should have a decent life. However, in reality, their welfare is not in line with the wealth of marine resources, especially for fishermen. The lives of fishermen are often colored by economic challenges, weather uncertainty, and environmental changes that impact their welfare. This study aims to identify sources of livelihood, identify levels of welfare, and identify livelihood strategies carried out by fishing households. Through a survey that we conducted on 35 small-scale fishing households on the West Coast of North Sumatra, we found that most of them were still classified as less prosperous. Although the livelihood analysis shows that their sources of income are quite diverse, the contribution of income outside of fishing has not been able to improve their level of welfare. The results of this study also show that fishermen are not a passive group of people. Realizing the uncertainty in their livelihoods, they try to take advantage of existing opportunities by implementing livelihood strategies. The livelihood strategies carried out by fishermen are classified into economic dimensions, ecological dimensions, and social dimensions.
