Abstract

Gili Balu in West Sumbawa Regency has significant potential for developing sustainable marine ecotourism that can drive the economic empowerment of coastal communities. This study aims to develop an economic empowerment model based on ecotourism management with active community involvement. A case study method with a qualitative approach was employed through in-depth interviews, direct observations, and analysis of policy documents. The findings reveal that community participation in ecotourism management enhances awareness of natural resource conservation and provides economic benefits. However, challenges remain, including low entrepreneurial capacity, inadequate infrastructure, and social exclusion in tourism area management. The main recommendations are the establishment of the Merah Putih Cooperative as a platform for community participation, improvement of education and training programs, as well as strengthening digital promotion and infrastructure development. The study concludes that integrating environmental conservation with the enhancement of local economic capacity is key to sustaining ecotourism in Gili Balu. These findings imply the need for policies that support collaborative, community-based, and locally adaptive management to preserve ecosystems while improving the livelihoods of coastal communities.

Abstract

Agro-Techono Urban Farming is a rapidly growing technological innovation in agriculture, offering effective solutions to the challenges faced by the agricultural sector amid urbanization and population growth. This study aims to explore the implementation of Agro-Techono Urban Farming in various cities worldwide, focusing on its benefits, challenges, and impacts. The research method used is a literature review, involving an analysis of academic sources and case studies from regions that have adopted smart farming technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), drones, soil sensors, and data-driven agricultural management systems. The findings indicate that these technologies improve productivity, enhance water and fertilizer use efficiency, reduce operational costs, and strengthen urban food security. For instance, soil sensors enable real-time monitoring of moisture levels, allowing more efficient irrigation, while drones facilitate early detection of pests and plant diseases. However, the adoption of these technologies faces several challenges, including limited access, lack of training, regulatory constraints, and high initial investment costs. In conclusion, the successful implementation of Agro-Techono Urban Farming requires strong support from both government and the private sector through training programs, resources, and incentives for farmers.

Abstract

Coral reefs play an important role in supporting biota diversity and providing environmental services, but are increasingly threatened by anthropogenic pressures and environmental change.This study aims to assess the Ecological status of shallow water coral reefs and fish communities in Tidung Island, Indonesia. Point Intercept Transect (PIT) method was used to measure coral cover and the data were analyzed using Coral Reef Coverage. Meanwhile, data on fish communities living in coral reefs were obtained from the Underwater Fish Visual Census (UVC) method. The results showed that overall coral cover was in moderate condition. Furthermore, the reef fish community was dominated by the Pomacentridae family (9 species) and followed by Scaridae (4 species). In addition, this study found that the composition of algae, abiotic components, and sponges reached 67% of the total cover. These findings highlight the urgent need for targeted conservation actions and sustainable management to restore coral reef health and maintain biodiversity in the coastal ecosystems of Tidung Island.

Abstract

Agrotourism has become a strategic approach to rural development by enhancing the socio-economic conditions of farming communities. This study evaluates the socio-economic impact of the "Petik Melon" agrotourism initiative, managed through a cooperative model in Kebon Ayu Village, West Lombok. The research aims to assess the effectiveness and sustainability of this model in improving community welfare. Using a mixed-methods approach and the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), data were gathered through interviews, focus group discussions, and questionnaires involving cooperative members, farmers, visitors, and village officials. The AHP method helped prioritize key indicators such as income generation, employment, social cohesion, and community participation. Findings show that the initiative significantly increased household income, created jobs, and strengthened social bonds. "Income improvement" and "community participation" were identified as the most impactful indicators. Despite these benefits, challenges remain in infrastructure and cooperative capacity. The study concludes that the "Petik Melon" model offers a replicable and impactful strategy for rural development. It recommends enhanced institutional support, improved marketing, and integration of educational-tourism elements to ensure long-term sustainability.

Abstract

Agrotourism has the potential to boost rural economies while preserving local culture and natural resources. This research seeks to evaluate the role of the local community in advancing agrotourism development in Sigerongan Village, West Lombok Regency, and aims to design a development model that emphasizes community participation. The findings are intended to serve as a valuable resource for government policymakers to better engage local communities in agrotourism projects and to provide a reference for subsequent studies. Employing a descriptive methodology, the study utilizes qualitative analytical methods. Data collection involved primary and secondary sources gathered through observation, detailed interviews, and literature review.A total of 33 respondents were selected, three from each hamlet. Results show low community participation in planning and supervision stages, while participation in implementation is more evident—such as providing halfway houses for tourists. Most residents are farmers working in groups near tourist areas, hoping that tourists not only enjoy the natural attractions but also engage in activities like harvesting or catching local produce. The community aspires for Sigerongan Village to be known for its unique agrotourism brand, focusing on rice (Oryza sativa), cassava (Manihot esculenta), mango (Mangifera indica), guava (Psidium guajava), mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana), rambutan (Nephelium lappaceum), and fisheries.

Abstract

Agritourism management refers to organizing agricultural activities to attract tourism, offering visitors direct experiences with farming life. It has gained importance as a strategy to increase farmers' income, support rural development, and preserve cultural traditions. This study explores the key factors behind successful cocoa agritourism management in Indonesia, focusing on Kampung Coklat Senare (KCS) and Griya Coklat Nglangeran. A qualitative descriptive approach was used, with data gathered from both primary (observations, interviews, documentation) and secondary sources (literature reviews and credible online publications). Fieldwork was conducted in Nglangeran Village (Yogyakarta) and Senare Village (North Lombok, NTB). Findings highlight institutional strength as a crucial factor in Nglangeran's agrotourism success. In contrast, Senare lacks sufficient institutional support, with minimal local government involvement, weak promotion, limited innovation in human resources, and poor integration with nearby attractions. Both sites allow tourists to engage in cocoa processing activities. Nglangeran applies a community-driven and conservation-focused tourism model, while Senare adopts an educational approach. Despite differences, both have embraced sustainable agriculture-based tourism, contributing to local economic growth and environmental conservation.

Abstract

Sustainable rural development requires strategies that optimise local resources while maintaining environmental and socio-cultural sustainability. The purpose of this study is to analyze the development of community-based coffee agrotourism in East Lombok Regency, West Nusa Tenggara Province, as a strategy to strengthen sustainable rural economic development. The research method uses a qualitative descriptive approach from secondary data to analyze the biophysical potential of local coffee-based agroecosystems, the institutional readiness of farmer groups and regional organizations, and existing collaboration mechanisms between government, communities, academics, and private actors. The results indicate that East Lombok has the potential to be developed into coffee agrotourism based on its natural and socio-cultural conditions, agricultural climate, farming communities, and local traditions. Obstacles faced include tourism infrastructure, community management capacity, and weak coordination between institutions. The recommended model to overcome the difficulties of agrotourism development is Community-Based Tourism (CBT), which integrates economic, socio-cultural, and ecological dimensions. In addition, cross-sector collaboration (quadruple helix) is needed to ensure a stable distribution of economic and environmental benefits. Therefore, the results of this study provide a practical basis for planning and policy-making related to the development of inclusive and sustainable agrotourism.

Abstract

The development of livestock–crop-integrated agrotourism in the Batu Bulan irrigation area holds significant potential to increase farmers’ incomes, enhance ecological sustainability, and diversify rural economies. This study aims to formulate the most strategic development priorities using SWOT analysis and the Quantitative Strategic Planning Matrix (QSPM). Data were collected through farmer surveys, in-depth interviews, and field observations. The findings indicate that the S–O strategy is the top priority, namely the development of integrated livestock–crop agrotourism packages through institutional strengthening and collaboration among local government, universities, and NGOs. The W–O strategy emphasizes improving human resource capacity in digital marketing, tourism management, and livestock bio-ecology, while the S–T strategy recommends developing environmentally friendly tourism infrastructure such as biogas units, composting facilities, and educational trails. Meanwhile, the W–T strategy focuses on strengthening access to capital, risk management, and governance for smallholder farmers. Overall, the QSPM results highlight that multi-stakeholder collaboration, enhanced human resource competence, and the adoption of environmental technologies are key to the successful implementation of integrated agrotourism models in irrigated agricultural areas. These findings are expected to serve as a reference for local governments, universities, and farmer communities in designing sustainable agrotourism development policies in Indonesia’s agrarian regions
