Abstract

This research explores the positive and negative impacts of the Bilik Sijile Beach tourism sector on beef cattle farmers' livelihoods and the environment in Merak Hamlet, Baluran National Park. As emerging tourist destinations, these beaches have attracted many visitors, significantly changing the local community. Using a qualitative descriptive approach with SWOT and socio-economic impact analyses, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation studies involving 40 purposively selected respondents. The findings indicate positive impacts, including increased business opportunities, income diversification, and improved infrastructure. However, tourism also reduces grazing land quality, environmental pollution, and social changes affecting local traditions. The SWOT analysis highlights strengths like local resources and tourist economic potential alongside opportunities like government support and digital technology advancements. Conversely, weaknesses include technological limitations and resource pressures, while threats encompass market price fluctuations and environmental degradation. This study recommends sustainable tourism development that balances local community welfare and ecological preservation. Integrating environmental conservation with regional economic growth and providing training in tourism management and technology for cattle farmers can enhance adaptation and ensure the sustainability of both tourism and livestock sectors in Merak Hamlet.

Abstract

The Sasak tribe maintains traditional architectural practices that remain vibrant today, particularly embodied in the Bale Tani structure, which exemplifies local wisdom. Despite the richness of this indigenous knowledge, modern rural development often overlooks its ecological potential, resulting in spatial designs that are culturally disconnected and environmentally unsustainable. This study addresses this gap by examining the ecological principles embedded in the spatial planning of Bale Tani buildings to apply these insights to culturally grounded innovations in sustainable architecture. Employing a qualitative method involving literature review, field observation, and spatial analysis, this research offers a novel contribution by systematically mapping ecological parameters within vernacular Sasak architecture, an area still underrepresented in current architectural discourse. The findings reveal how traditional Sasak layouts promote ecological sustainability, social harmony, and climate-responsive agricultural architecture. These insights underscore the urgency of integrating local architectural wisdom into contemporary rural housing strategies to mitigate environmental degradation and preserve cultural heritage in the face of rapid modernization.

Abstract

Biophilic design is an applied approach rooted in historical understanding and human intuition toward nature, supported by scientific findings that affirm the importance of human-nature relationships for physical, psychological, and emotional well-being. This understanding aligns with the philosophy of the Sundanese people—particularly the community of Naga Village—who maintain a strong connection with nature. Naga Village was chosen as the case study for its ability to preserve the integration of culture, architecture, and ecology amid modernizing pressures. This paper aims to identify 14 biophilic patterns in the vernacular architectural concept of Naga Village across three spatial contexts: macro (ecology), meso (settlement patterns), and micro (architecture). The method employed is qualitative-comparative, using thematic visual analysis through a matrix that matches biophilic patterns with the three spatial contexts of Naga Village. The results indicate a direct correlation between biophilic principles and the ecological, settlement, and architectural elements that have evolved through generations in Naga Village.
