Visitor Perception of Kintamani Agro-ecotourism in Bali During The COVID-19 Pandemic
Get PDFThe COVID-19 pandemic has hampered agro-ecotourism\u27s economic, social, and environmental benefits. Previous studies have ignored visitor experiences, sustainability, and secondary data. A pandemic-era field assessment of Kintamani agro-ecotourism fills this gap. Purposive sampling was used to select 100 local visitors for the survey. Perceptual class intervals and WarpPLS 7.0 were used to analyze the data. Kintamani agro-ecotourism destination services and guest loyalty scored the highest. Attributes and service quality affected visitor satisfaction and loyalty, whereas the CHSE program measures did not. These findings include improving attributes and service quality, encouraging sustainability, collaborating with local communities and stakeholders, and developing innovative products and services for Kintamani agro ecotourism. Diverse market segments may be immersed in a region\u27s culture and nature. Kintamani agro-ecotourism requires strong branding, marketing, and data-driven decision-making. Crisis management plans and sustainable infrastructure can help agro-ecotourism to survive unexpected disasters. Agro-ecotourism in Kintamani depends on the adaptation, innovation, and preservation of a region\u27s natural and cultural legacy
Exploring Soil Biota and Chemical Dynamics in Palm Oil Cultivation: Insights from Cikabayan, Bogor
Get PDFSoil biological properties sometimes escape attention from environmental studies, especially regarding land use change. Several studies on diversity have been conducted in palm oil. However, most of the studies only focus on certain genera or order and have not yet depicted the micro-ecosystem in the soil. This study aims to analyze the interaction between soil biological properties and soil chemical properties through a correlation study using Randomized Block Design (RBD) to simplify the system in the micro-ecosystem. The result showed that most soil microbe parameters have complex and different interactions with soil chemical properties. Soil biological properties, such as the total microbes (TM) and Azotobacter (Az), significantly correlated toward phosphate and potassium, respectively. Furthermore, mesofauna and macrofauna have a negative and weak correlation with pH and a negative and moderate correlation towards Phosphate (P) content in the soil. This negative and moderate correlation strength happened due to increased soil acidity, leading to a higher chance of H2PO4- interacting with metal ions, resulting in a high risk of toxicity. Soil chemical properties have complex interactions with soil biological properties, and each will affect the others to balance the chemical cycling in the soil. Thus, this study showed the importance of preserving the natural balance of cultivated areas, in this case, palm oil plantations, so that the well-preserved ecosystem will give its benefits
Examining the Use of the Watershed Algorithm for Segmenting Crown Closure on a Dry Land Forest
Get PDFThis paper uses a watershed algorithm to detect canopy cover in dryland forests. The study at to determine the best parameters of the watershed segmentation algorithm to obtain information on crown closure from filtered and unfiltered high and very high-resolution images. The best performance of each parameter combination of tolerance value (T), mean value (M), and variance value (V), which is written as C:[T]-[M]-[V], is determined based on the level of accuracy. This study uses Pleiades-1B and SPOT-6 images as primary digital data. The results showed that the low-pass filtered Pleiades-1B image showed the best performance with a combination of parameters C6-MF:[10]-[0.7]-[0.3], had an overall accuracy (OA) of 91.0% and an accuracy Kappa (KA) by 83.2%. While the low-pass filtered Spot-6 image shows the combination of parameters C7-MF:[10]-[0.8]-[0.2], which has an accuracy of 90.6% OA and 65.4% KA. This study concludes that the filtered image with a low-pass filter always gives more accurate results than the original data (without filter), both for Pleiades-1B and SPOT-6 images. The very high spatial resolution provides better accuracy than the high spatial resolutio
The Regeneration Potential of Kasa (Castanopsis acuminatissima Blume) in Kalaena Nature Reserve, East Luwu Regency
Get PDFKasa is one of the important species among 120 species in the genus Castanopsis (Fagaceae), which thrives in secondary and primary lowland forest areas up to 1000 m above sea level. This plant species exhibits tolerance to full sunlight. The objective of this study is to assess the regeneration potential of Kasa (Castanopsis acuminatissima Blume) in the Kalaena Nature Reserve, Indonesia. The research plots consisted of two 50 m x 50 m plots, with a nested 10 m x 10 m subplot placed using purposive sampling. The findings regarding the regeneration potential of Kasa in the Kalaena Nature Reserve revealed varying numbers of seedlings, saplings, poles, and trees. The regeneration potential of Kasa is influenced by the growth stages of seedlings and trees. During the seedling phase, the regeneration potential of Kasa is classified as very good. However, the density of trees, although in the productive category, is low due to environmental factors and the characteristics of the parent tree. Conversely, the sapling and pole phases exhibit very poor regeneration potential. In plot 1, there were 1964 individual seedlings, 6 individual saplings, 4 individual poles, and 21 individual trees. Meanwhile, plot 2 recorded 844 individual seedlings, 5 individual saplings, 1 individual pole, and 18 individual trees. The growth of Kasa in both plots displayed a clustered pattern
Perceived Impact of Music Tourism and Support for Music Tourism among Local Communities: The Moderating Effect of Psychological Egoism
Get PDFMusic tourism, a growing segment of the tourism industry, has significant socio-economic benefits but also poses environmental challenges. This study investigates the relationship between the perceived impact of music tourism and local community support in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, with a particular focus on the moderating effect of psychological egoism. Using Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) and survey data from 134 local residents, we found that positive perceived impacts of tourism correlate with higher community support. However, psychological egoism influences this relationship, as individuals with higher egoism levels still support music tourism despite recognizing its negative impacts. These findings highlight the need for targeted educational campaigns to promote environmental sustainability and community well-being. Local governments and event organizers should focus on enhancing the positive impacts and mitigating the negative ones to foster sustainable tourism practices that align with conservation goals and contribute to UNESCO Sustainable Development Goal 8
Sustainable Wellness Tourism in Indonesia (Case Study on Health Tourism Development at Hanara Wellbeing Center Bandung)
Get PDFWellness tourism is currently developing and starting to be recognized as an important aspect of tourism. Not only in Bali, Bandung is developing itself into a destination for foreign tourists for wellness tourism. Wellness tourism, which focuses on activities and experiences aimed at enhancing one\u27s health and well-being, is intricately linked with sustainable tourism principles. This phenomenon is then studied using constructivist paradigms, qualitative methods, case study approaches, and social construction theory. Data collection techniques were participant observation for a year, interviews with 6 key informants and triangulation of 19 sources, literature study, and document study. The purpose of this study is to determine the development of wellness tourism in Bandung, Indonesia. The results showed that Bandung is an alternative to wellness tourism, because it was visited by patients from Malaysia, Canada, Singapore, Switzerland, the Philippines, Pakistan, Timor Leste and Australia. The uniqueness is: 1) Offering holistic health care; 2) Organizing complementary and alternative medicine under the supervision of doctors; 3) Spiritual healing-based care; 4) Teaching patients self-healing methods; 5) Not using chemical drugs; 6) Leaving the paternalistic model ;7) loyal patients are fostered in a community; and 8) using celebrities in promotions
The Bibliometric Analysis of the Sunda Pangolin (Manis javanica Desmarest, 1822) Ecological Research in Indonesia
Get PDFIllegal wild animal trade is a conservation threat, predominantly in Indonesia. Most of the animals traded is the pangolin which almost all parts of the body are used, especially the scales. This research used a bibliometric review that uses Scopus, The Web of Science platform, and Google Scholar to analyze publications for one decade to map trends and gaps in pangolin research. The result of this research showed that the total of publications significantly increased over several decades, but the topic for pangolin research is not learned in the same proportion (only 37% of them discussed the population appraisal of pangolin in the wild, the remainder mostly discussed status and conservation of pangolin in 41%, and the effect of illegal pouching and trading in 22%). There is an inconsistency between the researchers in developed countries and developing countries where more research is conducted in developed countries than in developing countries. The data from the analysis research collected systematically in developing countries were not published proficiently, therefore it caused several publications to fall into the grey literature category. There are some research gaps, which are research topics are not diverse and have too many things in common, other than that the population data are not aligned with the biodiversity distribution and conservation priorities, especially concerning endangered species such as pangolins. The success of conservation relied on the policymakers and practitioners, and the implications of this research gave suggestions for the management to overcome the pangolin trade polemic that has become increasingly widespread recently
Mangrove Vegetation Analysis in Mangrove Ecosystems in the Coastal Area of Bazartete, Liquica District Timor-Leste
No full textMangroves are important ecosystems that provide a range of ecosystem functions and services that support livelihoods and the environment. Mangrove forests in Timor-Leste have been exploited since at least the 1940s for agriculture, timber, and clearing for settlements. Measurement of the distribution of mangrove vegetation was carried out at two observation stations, namely: Station I, located in Tibar Village; Station II and located in Ulmera Village. The determination of the research location was determined by purposive sampling after a survey was conducted. The results of vegetation analysis that has been done there are 4 types of mangroves found such as; Sonneratia alba, Rhizophora apiculata, Rhizophora mucronata and Brugueira cylindrica. Stand density at Tibar station is dominated by the type of Sonneratia alba having a density of 366.67 trees / ha with a species mastery level of 91.23 m2 / ha and has an INP value of 219.98%. In contrast to the results of observations in Tibar village, the density of stands at the Ulmera observation station, the Rhizophora apiculata species has a higher density of 511 trees/ha but the level of species mastery is dominated by the Sonneratia alba species of 53 m2/ha with INP = 116%. The density level is dominated by the Rhizophora apiculata species because in the middle zone the substrate is muddy, while in the outer zone directly facing the sea and always inundated with sea water, more Sonneratia alba species are found.

Pergeseran Paradigma Pengelolaan Kawasan Konservasi: Sebuah Wacana Baru dalam Pengelolaan Kawasan Konservasi
No full textManaging protected area in the proper way is one of the most effective effort to conserve the last tropical biodiversity and ecosystems. Nowaday management of protected area faces to many "threats" from others. With regards to global situation, the way of protected area management has to be adjusted and shifted in line with new paradigm that develop based on lesson learn from best practices in many countries over the world. According to global history, current management of protected area should recognize local needs and must be recognized by local. The existence of protected area must bring significant benefits to multi-stakeholders. We have to broaden mind that protected area is not just the needs of central goverment or conservationists to save our earth, but there should also be an access for others to take real benefits. If it is consistently adopted, however, protected area authority is not the only responsible institution towards conservation of biodiversity within the area
Stakeholder Perceptions of the Impact of Artificial Reef Deployment: A Case Study of the Indonesian Coral Reef Garden (ICRG) in Nusa Dua, Bali
Get PDFThis research examines the challenges of coral reef conservation in Bali, a critical hub for marine tourism. Despite the island’s global significance, efforts to preserve its coral reefs have been insufficient, leading to the launch of the 2020 Integrated Coral Reef Rehabilitation and Management Program (ICRG). Supported by National Economic Recovery (PEN) funds, the ICRG has focused on deploying artificial reefs in the waters of Nusa Dua. However, only 74.3 hectares of the potential 204 hectares of restoration areas have been addressed, underscoring the need for more intensive conservation efforts. Data collection involved the distribution of closed questionnaires to key stakeholders, including government bodies, academic institutions, tourists, and coral reef conservation organizations. The data was analyzed using both descriptive statistics and thematic analysis to gauge stakeholder awareness, perceptions, and willingness to contribute to conservation efforts. The analysis revealed that 69% of respondents have a comprehensive understanding of the ecological, economic, and social functions of coral reefs. Furthermore, 92% of respondents expressed a willingness to contribute to coral reef preservation, either through labor or financial means. Financial contributions ranged from Rp. 25,000 to Rp. 150,000, with 30% of respondents willing to allocate up to 5% of their annual income to conservation initiatives. These findings highlight a strong stakeholder commitment to coral reef conservation in Bali and emphasize the necessity for ongoing public engagement and support. The research suggests that integrating local customary laws into conservation strategies and enhancing public involvement could significantly bolster the long-term sustainability of coral reef restoration efforts in Bali, thereby preserving the island’s marine tourism appeal and ecological integrity
