Abstract

Green Turtle, Chelonia mydas, or “penyu hijau” is an endangered species that can be found in the area of Geopark Ciletuh-Palabuhanratu, West Java. This Geopark has become the UNESCO Global Geopark since 2018. One location where the Green turtles can be found is Pangumbahan Beach, Ciracap District, Sukabumi Regency. The conservation management area is about 58.43 hectares while the length of the beach is about 2,300 m. Pangumbahan Beach’s geological characteristic is unique, consisting of specific sand called silica or quartz sand, whereas the coastline directly faces the Pacific Ocean. The important vegetation communities in the area are composed of herbs, shrubs, and some tree species. These factors make the beach the favorite nesting ground for turtles. However, some local communities still feed and sell turtle eggs, making them the favorite dish for religious offerings. During the past several years the number of turtles that nest and successfully hatch has decreased. Several factors are thought to cause this decline such as beach abrasion, the market for turtle eggs, and so on. The data of the turtle eggs collected from the beach and kept in the hatchery were examined. The number of eggs that successfully hatched was also studied. The study explains the relationship between the geological, cultural, and biodiversity aspects of the turtle nesting ground and the successful hatchlings rate

Abstract

In total 24 eruptions took place on Mount Batur, the most recent one occurred in 2000. As one of the geosites in the Batur UNESCO Global geopark, Kintamani District, Bangli Regency, Mount Batur is often used as a tourism destination, where daily trekking activities could involve 500 people before the coronavirus pandemic. However, disaster mitigation facilities such as volcanic hazard information boards and evacuation routes remain limited, making this situation potentially and increasingly vulnerable if Batur Volcano erupts again. To answer the problem of disaster risk management, especially through community participation, in the Mount Batur Area, a community-based disaster risk assessment research is conducted. The research method used is a qualitative method that consists of observation, documentation, and interviews. The selection of informants was carried out purposefully to conduct in-depth interviews according to the issues raised, namely community-based disaster risk management in the Batur UNESCO Global Geopark area. From the research conducted regarding community-based disaster risk reduction in the Mount Batur Trekking Guide Forum (FP2GB) community, several interesting results were obtained, both from tourists and guides. By carrying out CBDRM activities with the guide community, a formulation was obtained in the form of a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for trekking Mount Batur which later can be used as a reference for guides and tourists to provide good services as well as community-based, participatory disaster risk management methods.

Abstract

Abiotic, Biotic and Cultural environments can be best exploited for (geo)tourism with appropriate (geo)interpretation. Ragged and rocky shores, like those of the “Mermaids Song”, where “Huge Waves Crash” are found only where the sea meets the land. These common but always unique coastal zones include rocks and landscapes (abiotic), plant and animal ecosystems (biotic) and important human (cultural) and economic habitats. Marine coastlines, shallow intertidal zones and islands display magnificent features ranging from never ending beaches to soaring cliffs, fascinating shore platforms to enthralling estuaries and deep fjords to sparkling reefs. Coasts and shorelines provide a fundamental boundary between the land we live, work and play on and the vastly different largely uninhabited oceanic seascape. All coasts are intrinsically aesthetic and beautiful and provide a wealth of environments and opportunities for geotourism.

Abstract

Sumbawa Island is a tourist destination because it offers still well-preserved natural beauty. Semongkat geotourism is one of the tour sites visited by many local or foreign tourists located in the north of Batulanteh District, Sumbawa Regency, West Nusa Tenggara Province (Coordinate Latitude -8.574251° SL, Longitude 117.313315° EL), including a hilly area with an altitude of 450 meters above sea level, densely-forested, and well-preserved maintained area. The area is an ecosystem rich in flora and fauna, including the bondol eagle and the koakiau bird which are endangered and protected by law. The problem is that lots of landslides still occur on the access to the area, posing thus risks to passengers and motorists. The data collection method used is to mapping landslide-prone areas with controlling and driving aspects, then make a landslide-prone map to show which areas are categorized as landslide-prone areas. It is important, therefore, to map landslide-prone areas so that mitigation measures can be implemented to ensure a safer life for local people and tourists, a better environment and ecosystem as well as a safer, and also increased geotourism in Semongkat.

Abstract

Currently, there is no urgency in the context of Local Tour Guide competency which is the main concern in developing the quality of human resources, especially in one of the tourist destinations, namely the Sesaot tourist village. In several studies, it is stated that the level of competence has an important role as an indicator in supporting service performance in a tourism destination, but there has been no research regarding the perception of local tour guides regarding their competence. Therefore, this research raises this issue using a descriptive qualitative approach. The data in this research was obtained through a process of observation, interviews and documentation. Interviews were conducted with three informants from BUMDES, tourism awareness group (POKDARWIS) and local guides, where these three components influence the resource competency development program in the Sesaot tourist village. The data collection process was carried out for 3 months, followed by data analysis using the Creswell approach for qualitative research. Based on the results of observations and interviews, it was found that village administrators and local tour guides have the same view regarding the importance of competency certification for local guides and expect assistance from the government or related agencies in assisting local tour guide competency certification in supporting service performance in the Sesaot tourist village. However, the implementation of competency certification for tour guides has not been implemented due to minimal government support or suboptimal planning. Considering this, annual planning for increasing human resources in the Sesaot tourist village needs to be included in the village's annual planning

Abstract

Technology is rapidly advancing today, with the most popular technology known as Artificial Intelligence (AI). This technological innovation greatly benefits the tourism sector. However, the implementation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology often sparks debate, including in the tourism industry. This study aims to identify the pros and cons related to the presence and use of AI technology by local guides at tourist sites that still maintain the authenticity of culture, such as in the Dusun Adat Sade, Rambitan Village, Central Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. The research was conducted using an inductive approach, with a qualitative methodology, a case study research strategy, and a cross-sectional research time frame. Data collection and analysis were performed using data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. Data analysis utilized content analysis, categorizing data into specific themes or categories. Triangulation of methods and sources was employed for data validity. Methodological triangulation involved three methods: observation, interviews, and documentation. Additionally, source triangulation was conducted by interviewing 8 informants. The research findings categorized data into the following: Pros and Contras regarding Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology. After analyzing and processing the data from both categories, the majority of local guides in the Sade Traditional Village, Rembitan Village, exhibit a predominantly contra or skeptical attitude towards Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology due to concerns about Artificial Intelligence (AI) taking over their jobs. However, they still acknowledge technological advancements that facilitate their service to tourists. To further assess the extent to which Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology assists local guides, especially at tourist sites, further research on the benefits of Artificial Intelligence (AI) for supporting and facilitating local guides in their work is needed

Abstract

The Gili Mas cruise ship port has become a huge opportunity for developing tourism on the island of Lombok, especially Sekotong area which is a buffer area for the port. However, in its operations, in the last half decade, there has been no research examining the impact of the existence of the Gili Mas port in supporting tourism development in its buffer area. This research aims to explore the role and existence of the Gili Mas cruise ship port in supporting the tourism industry in the Sekotong area. The research method used is descriptive analysis, with data collected through surveys, literature studies, and interviews with 3 informants from the government industry, travel and the community as managers of the destination. The results of this research are that the presence of cruise ships does not show a high intensity of visits to destinations in the Sekotong area. This is demonstrated by direct interviews conducted with informants from both the government and destination managers. The aspects that influence this are in terms of the suitability of the destination to the preferences of cruise ship tourists, most of whom are elderly tourists, and the readiness of each destination in the Sekotong area to adapt to existing tourists. To be able to increase the number of tourist visits to Sekotong, there needs to be increased promotion and guarantees that the places to be visited in the area are safe in terms of accessibility, amenities and activities that can be carried out by elderly tourists who make up the majority on cruise ships
