<![CDATA[Dragonflies, belonging to the suborders Anisoptera and Zygoptera, are important insect groups in biodiversity studies. Their life cycles are highly sensitive to environmental quality and are often used as indicators of habitat conditions. Dragonflies maintain ecosystem balance through predation on small organisms, with a high species diversity of 5,000–6,000 species worldwide. This study aimed to identify dragonfly species in the forest area of Muhammadiyah Mataram University and to gather baseline information on their diversity. Data were collected in June 2025 via purposive sampling with a time-search technique across six observation plots, and subsequently analyzed using ecological indices. The study recorded 17 dragonfly species from six families, totaling 110 individuals, spanning the suborders Anisoptera and Zygoptera. The dominant species included Euphaea lara, Pseudagrion pilidorsum, and Orthetrum sabina. Ecological index analysis showed a Shannon-Weaver diversity of 2.61, a Margalef species richness of 3.40, an evenness of 0.92, and low dominance, reflecting stable ecosystem conditions. Microhabitat factors such as a temperature of 28.2°C, humidity of 78%, and light intensity of 565 lux also supported the biological activity of dragonflies at the study site.]]>

<![CDATA[Challenges in mangrove ecosystem management arise from the polarization of values between local economic benefits (livelihoods) and global ecological concepts (Blue Carbon), as well as the critical issue of community participation. Through a bibliometric analysis of 300 documents (2021–2025) from the Scopus/Web of Science database, this study aims to map research trends and identify literature gaps related to mangrove ecosystem services, community participation, and ecotourism. Network analysis reveals a strong centrality to livelihoods, reflecting a research focus that is predominantly driven by economic benefits. In contrast, Blue Carbon is situated on the periphery of the network, highlighting the research focus gap. Recent research trends are shifting toward regulation and institutions (governance). This study’s scientific contribution is to offer research priorities to bridge this value gap by internalizing ecological concepts into local practices as a fundamental strategy for enhancing sustainable participation and synchronizing local conservation with the global climate agenda.]]>

<![CDATA[Seagrass ecosystems play a crucial bioecological role in maintaining coastal stability, yet their management at the local level continues to face significant challenges. This study aims to analyze the conditions, threats, and bioecological aspects that underpin sustainable seagrass management in Sekotong. A case study approach was employed, using semi-structured interviews with purposive sampling, with the West Lombok Marine and Fisheries Office (DKP) as the key informant. The literature review was selected based on criteria focusing on seagrass bioecology, ecosystem threats, and coastal management. Data were analyzed through reduction, categorization, and synthesis. The results show that while some areas retain stable seagrass cover (supported by mangrove/coral rehabilitation), other areas are vulnerable to degradation from marine tourism, increased sedimentation, and declining water quality. Bioecologically, species such as Enhalus acoroides, Thalassia hemprichii, and Cymodocea rotundata function as habitat providers, blue-carbon storage, and substrate stabilizers, but their resilience is heavily influenced by ecological pressures. The study concludes that effective seagrass management requires integrating bioecological data, regulating marine tourism, and enhancing coordination between the Regency and Provincial DKP. This research underscores the need for an integrated monitoring system and further provincial-level research to strengthen future conservation policymaking.]]>

<![CDATA[This study explores sustainable seagrass management in Gili Kondo, Indonesia, through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR), bibliometric mapping, and Likert-scale surveys of local fishermen. The aim is to assess global and national trends in blue carbon, ecosystem services, and community-based conservation, while analyzing fishermen’s perceptions of conservation and policy. Bibliometric results identify four research clusters: ecological resilience, blue carbon, community engagement, and policy integration. Quantitative analysis shows high knowledge (mean = 4.3) and positive conservation attitudes (mean = 4.1), but moderate perceptions of government support (mean = 3.2). Findings indicate that community awareness is strong, yet policy and institutional coordination require improvement. The study concludes that adaptive, science-based, and participatory governance is crucial for sustaining seagrass ecosystems. This research contributes to strengthening blue carbon policy frameworks and provides a replicable model for coastal management in small island regions.]]>

<![CDATA[Coconut is a strategic commodity for the coastal communities of Lombok Island, but its utilization is still focused on selling raw materials, so the added value and its role in strengthening the local economy and socio-ecological resilience are not yet optimal. This research aims to formulate a sustainable coconut agrotourism development model based on local wisdom as a strategy for empowering coastal communities on Lombok Island. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach based on secondary data, utilizing content analysis and comparative literature review methods for scientific publications, sectoral data, and policy documents from the period 2015–2025. Literature samples were selected purposively and developed using the snowball technique until information saturation was reached. These samples were then synthesized and validated using a sustainability framework and the principles of Community-Based Tourism (CBT). The study results indicate that the potential for coconut agrotourism in Lombok is very high because it is supported by a coastal agrarian ecosystem, local wisdom in coconut processing (e.g., VCO, coconut sugar, and traditional products), and an active farming community. However, this potential is hampered by weaknesses in infrastructure, human resource capacity, institutions, and digital promotion. The proposed conceptual model emphasizes strengthening community capacity, strengthening local institutions (pokdarwis, cooperatives/BUMDes), diversifying coconut-based educational tourism products and packages, and quadruple helix collaboration to achieve inclusive, competitive, and sustainable coconut agrotourism.]]>

<![CDATA[Agrotourism is recognized as an alternative strategy for rural economic development. Kawinda To’i in the Tambora District features fertile volcanic soils, diverse agricultural commodities, and a strategic location near Tambora National Park. This study analyzes internal–external factors and identifies strategic priorities for sustainable agrotourism development using a mixed descriptive approach incorporating IFE–EFE matrices and qualitative insights. Results indicate strong internal strengths—fertile land, commodity diversity, and cultural local support—alongside key weaknesses such as limited infrastructure and low human resource capacity. External opportunities include strong policy support and rising demand for nature-based tourism, although climate risks and competition with other NTB destinations pose threats. Strengthening local institutions, improving infrastructure, and enhancing community capacity represent the most strategic steps for advancing sustainable agrotourism in Kawinda To’i.]]>

<![CDATA[As part of efforts to promote sustainable tourism aligned with local cultural values, this study was conducted to formulate a development model for Green Heritage Tourism by integrating coastal urban farming within the Ampenan Heritage Area of Mataram City. A descriptive–qualitative approach was employed, supported by spatial analysis, field observations, in-depth interviews, and focus group discussions. The findings indicate that the Ampenan heritage area possesses significant historical and cultural value but faces ecological challenges, including coastal abrasion, limited green space, and increasing urban pressure. The integration of coastal urban farming, including hydroponics, vertical farming, and saline-tolerant crops, is considered effective in enhancing environmental quality, expanding productive green spaces, and enriching educational tourism attractions. Community participation is a crucial factor in the implementation process. This study develops a model comprising three pillars: heritage preservation, productive coastal ecology, and local economic empowerment. As a recommendation, local government and stakeholders are encouraged to adopt this model as a reference for policy formulation and revitalization strategies to ensure that Ampenan grows into a more adaptive, sustainable, and competitive heritage-based tourism destination.]]>
