Abstract

Forest ecosystems experience pressure and degradation of environmental services, which is thought to be due to community activities such as land conversion for economic purposes. In previous research at the same location, there was still no calculation of the willingness to pay for environmental services from visiting tourists. Therefore, this research was conducted to determine the value of tourists' willingness to pay, which can be used for the management and development of tourist areas. This research uses CVM (Contingent Valuation Method) to estimate the costs that will be incurred by the community, particularly visitors. The results of research through surveys show that the public's perception of Bedengan Selorejo provides an overview of the most dominant tourist attributes, namely: attractions, accessibility, and amenities. The estimated size of the community's WTP (Willingness To Pay) for the value of the existence of a forest ecosystem is IDR. 450,208,000/month. The recommendation based on the results obtained is that this value can be used for the development and management of the Bedengan Selorejo tourist area in Malang Regency, ensuring that the ecosystem and facilities of this tourist attraction are well-maintained.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of green competency development in enhancing market competitiveness among employees in the ecotourism industry. Green competencies have become increasingly important in the era of the green economy, particularly in the ecotourism sector, which heavily relies on environmental sustainability. Using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach, this study reviews and synthesizes various relevant studies on green competency development, market competitiveness, employee behavior, and ecotourism. Data were obtained from scholarly journals and other publications published within the last decade, with search criteria encompassing topics related to green competencies and competitiveness in sustainability-focused sectors. The findings suggest that the development of employees' green competencies, including an understanding of environmentally friendly practices and sustainable skills, can positively contribute to a company's market competitiveness in the ecotourism industry. The results also reveal that green competencies enhance the company's value and reputation, thus attracting environmentally conscious consumers. This study suggests that ecotourism managers should prioritize green training programs to strengthen the company's competitiveness in an increasingly sustainability-oriented market.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted various sectors of the economy worldwide, including the tourism sector. The UNWTO (2020) reported that international tourist arrivals declined significantly by around 60-80% in 2020. As one of the regions in West Java Province that excels in the tourism sector, Pangandaran Regency was also affected. Based on the value of Gross Regional Domestic Product at Constant Prices in the accommodation and food and beverage supply sector, there is a decline of -2.32% in 2020 and a slight increase to 3.12% in 2021. However, it has not recovered as it did in 2019, when the rate was 9.28%. This study aims to investigate how MSMEs, specifically UMKM tourism business actors, in the Pangandaran Coastal Area have survived the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak. The method employed is deductive research, which involves collecting data by distributing questionnaires to 160 respondents from MSMEs in the tourism sector of the Pangandaran coastal area, using a purposive sampling technique, and applying risk management analysis. The results of this study show that most business actors closed temporarily due to the PPKM policy, while others adjusted their selling times, and some changed the type of business they offered. The most considerable and significant risk is the income component, which includes the number of visitors, the scarcity of funds, and the limited time available to sell. Meanwhile, the scarcity of capital goods, the number of workers, the health of sellers, and the health of human resources are relatively unaffected. The COVID-19 pandemic is the first pandemic to have occurred in this area in the last decade; there is no single research study on this topic prior to its emergence. The government and all the business actors are still figuring out the best way to keep their economy running.

Abstract

Tebing Beksi is a former mining area that has been designated as a geological heritage site and is now used for tourism. Several tourism destination components have occupied the spaces of the Tebing Beksi area, resulting in a spatial distribution that forms a specific pattern worthy of deeper understanding. Therefore, this research is important for identifying and formulating spatial patterns that are formed by activities and the development/provision of tourism facilities and infrastructure. The research method used in this study is a qualitative descriptive method, which aims to provide a factual description, picture, or portrayal of the use of space. To compile the data analysis, a map is used as a guide to see the condition of the research object. This map primarily displays data on spatial conditions, specifically the locations of tourist destination components. Based on the analysis results, it can be observed that in tourist destination areas managed by local communities, several unplanned tourist facilities can be built spontaneously. This research explains why this could happen.

Abstract

Natural sacred sites are areas that possess cultural and spiritual significance within the community. The village forest around the Sumber Sirah is a natural sacred site. Currently, part of the forest area has changed its function to become a tourist area integrated with spring tourism. This may lead to changes in the structure and composition of the vegetation in the area. The purpose of this study was to analyze the structure of the vegetation composition between natural and changed vegetation for tourism activities. This research was conducted in Putukrejo Village, Gondanglegi District, Malang Regency, East Java. Data collection was carried out by making 20 x 20 m2 sample plots for vegetation that has a tree habitus. 10 x 10 m2 for pole habitus, 5 x 5 m2 for sapling habitus, 2 x 2 m2 for seedling habitus and herb/ground cover. The results of the vegetation analysis then determine the importance value index (IVI), Shannon-Weiner index (H'), evenness index (E'), dominance index (id), and endemism (End). Based on the research results, the composition of plants differs between natural areas and tourist areas. Specifically, 35 species were identified in the natural area, while 20 species were found in the tourist area. The value of endemism in areas that are still natural for all habitus is in the high category, where the vegetation composition is generally found in lowland forests. In contrast, the composition of tourist areas is dominated by cultivated plants and some introduced species. The Shannon-Wiener diversity index, both natural and tourist, is in the moderate category. The evenness index falls within the moderate to high category, and the dominance index is classified as high.

Abstract

This study aims to estimate the value of tourists' willingness to pay and formulate a strategy for developing Baruna Beach tourism. This study used a mixed-methods approach, utilizing both quantitative and qualitative methods. The quantitative approach employed the contingent valuation method and descriptive statistics, while the qualitative approach utilized SWOT analysis and qualitative descriptive analysis. This study uses primary data. Taken with a questionnaire of 110 tourists and semi-structured interviews conducted with key persons (guards and related agencies). The results showed that as many as 87% of respondents were willing to pay additional costs for developing Baruna tourism. SWOT analysis indicates strong potential for growth, particularly in infrastructure and digital promotion. Integrating WTP with SWOT supports an aggressive strategy focused on environmental conservation, improved facilities, and sustainable revenue generation. This study contributes theoretically by linking economic valuation with strategic tourism management and practically by guiding local authorities in optimizing entrance fees and coastal infrastructure. Findings suggest that digital payment systems for WTP collection, as well as further research on the socio-cultural influences on WTP, are warranted. Despite its insights, the study is limited by accidental sampling, which excludes the perspectives of potential tourists. Future research should explore diverse pricing models and broader market segmentation for sustainable coastal tourism.

Abstract

Tourism is one of the leading sectors that makes a major contribution to the Indonesian economy, including in the Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park (TNBTS) area, Tosari District, Pasuruan Regency, East Java. Throughout 2022, the number of visitors to TNBTS is expected to increase rapidly, which will also lead to an increase in non-tax state income. However, the increase in the number of visitors not only has a positive influence but also has a negative impact, mainly related to environmental concerns. Some of the problems that arise include climate change, socio-cultural degradation, and damage to ecosystems. Sustainable tourism through Green Tourism is an important component for achieving balanced tourism, benefiting both the economy and the environment. Therefore, this research aims to develop a Green-Tourism model in TNBTS. The method used in this research is a mixed-methods approach, employing a SWOT analysis methodology. The research results indicate that local communities and stakeholders can implement a green tourism strategy based on local participation and incorporating local culture, which can increase employment opportunities to absorb labor from rural communities and mitigate the current trend of urbanization.

Abstract

Mountainous regions frequently encounter difficulties in optimising communal spaces for tourism and local requirements due to the presence of topographical and cultural complexities. This study focused on Gubugklakah, East Java, a village renowned for its proximity to Mount Bromo, its rich agricultural heritage, and its Tenggerese cultural identity. The objective was to analyse spatial and activity patterns in communal spaces, addressing issues related to overcrowding, underutilisation, and accessibility, to propose strategies for sustainable tourism. A mixed-method approach was employed, combining spatial analysis using GIS tools, participatory observation of local and tourist activities, and structured community surveys. The analysis of spatial data enabled the mapping of the distribution and accessibility of communal spaces, while the qualitative insights derived from field observations illuminated the socio-cultural dynamics. The surveys collected data from residents and tourists regarding their perspectives on space utilisation and satisfaction. The findings indicated that communal spaces situated in proximity to major attractions, such as marketplaces and cultural sites, frequently experienced high levels of congestion, whereas peripheral areas remained underutilised. The activities of tourists were found to be centred around cultural festivals, agritourism, and recreational pursuits, whereas those of the local population were focused on economic and social interactions. The study identified three key challenges: inadequate infrastructure, limited funding, and the need to strike a balance between tourism development and environmental conservation. The study concluded that adaptive spatial planning, incorporating multifunctional designs and enhanced transportation links, can significantly improve the utility of communal spaces. It also recommended policies emphasising community-based management and sustainable practices to align development with cultural preservation and environmental sustainability. These findings provide actionable insights into optimising communal spaces to foster inclusive tourism growth and local economic resilience.

Abstract

This article is the result of field research conducted in Tegaren, a tourism village in Trenggalek, East Java, Indonesia. Tegaren has become a tourism village that consistently ranks among the top 500 in the Anugerah Desa Wisata Indonesia in 2022 and 2023. This study examines how tourism growth in Tegaren impacts the quality of life through homestays and small enterprises. As one of the outstanding tourism villages in Trenggalek, Tegaren has interesting tourism developments to study. By using interviews, observation, and literature studies, the authors collected data from several village representatives. The collected data is then interpreted using qualitative analysis methods. The results obtained were then verified using the Tourism Area Life Cycle (TALC) concept and the Better Life Index for measuring quality of life. Authors also use an asset-based community development (ABCD) approach to get qualitative data as accurately as possible. This article also presents the results of research by the authors, revealing that Tegaren people are directly affected by the growing tourism business in the village. These community components include besek farmers and homestay business owners or lodging accommodations in Tegaren. This study demonstrates how local ecotourism can improve the quality of life for residents. However, there is still much that needs to be improved in this study, which is expected to be carried out in further research.
