An Community Perspectives in Ethogram for Komodo Dragon (Varanus komodoensis) in the Wild
No full textThe Komodo dragon (Varanus komodoensis) of East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, is an endemic species protected by Indonesian law, mostly due to its population size and limited distribution. The natural distribution of the Komodo dragon is limited to Komodo National Park and several areas on the island of Flores and its surroundings. However, increasing population and tourism in its natural habitat might increase the conflict between the Komodo dragon and humans. To study the impact of human activities on the behavior of the Komodo dragon, we constructed an ethogram to catalog the behavioral inventories of the Komodo to enable future quantitative comparison. The Komodo dragon ethogram was obtained from observations in Loh Buaya and Loh Baru Resorts, Rinca Island, Komodo National Park. Observations were made on 10 adult males, 13 adult females, 12 juveniles, and 3 hatchlings Komodo dragons. Data were collected during July-September 2019, February-March 2020, and June-September 2020. Based on observations, observed behavior was grouped into 9 categories based on their function. Among them are sexual behavior, parental behavior, antagonistic behavior, ingestion/egestion, maintenance, movement, resting, and investigative
Smart Tourism Development for Recreation in Pesanggrahan Sangga Buana Urban Forest, South Jakarta
Get PDFUrban forest is a form of green open space in the urban area. The use of information and communication technology based on smart tourism is an important factor in providing facilities for recreational areas. This research aims to formulate smart tourism-based development at PSBUF for recreation based on resources, management and preferences of visitors and the surrounding community. Data collection methods used were literature studies, field observation, questionnaires, and interviews. The data analysis used were qualitative, quantitative descriptive, and SWOT. Pesanggrahan Sangga Buana Urban Forest (PSBUF) has the potential to develop smart tourism-based facilities for recreation. Standard recreational facilities are available in the form of prayer rooms, toilets, gazebos, jogging tracks, parking lots, badminton courts and football fields. Urban forest management is carried out by EFG Sangga Buana with supervision by the DKI Jakarta Parks and Urban Forest Service. EFG Sangga Buana strives to preserve the environment in the DKI Jakarta area with facilities that do not disturb the surrounding ecosystem. The existence of jogging tracks and sports fields is still lacking. The biggest motivation for visiting the urban forest is to refresh the mind from daily boredom. Public facilities that are really needed are rubbish bins. Respondents need for smart tourism facilities in the form of CCTV is the highest. Recommendations for the development of facilities are optimizing potential, maximizing management cooperation, increasing PSBUF promotions, and optimizing coordination between managers
The Environmental Education Tourism Development Design Concept in the Citic Seram Energy Limited Area, Maluku Province
Get PDFThe development of environmental education tourism in the area of Citic Seram Energy Limited (CSEL) is a design concept developed from the CSEL Study Tour program, which is an annual Citic Seram Energy Public Relations program sub-field of the Public Education Work Program that has been going on since 2009. This study aims to evaluate CSEL study tour activities as recommendations for developing environmental education tourism in the CSEL area. The method used is a survey method with purposive sampling techniques, namely sampling techniques taken based on certain considerations and objectives. Respondents in this study amounted to 40 people, namely participants in the CSEL study tour in 2013-2019. Data collection techniques use closed-pattern questionnaires with scoring. The processed questionnaire data was then analyzed using IPA (Importance Performance Analysis) to determine the level of performance variables of CSEL study tour activities. The study results show that the perception of study tour participants on the variables of CSEL study tour activities obtained a very high level of importance and satisfaction. This is evidenced by the average importance score obtained, which is 4.68 (very important) and the average satisfaction level score is 4.55 (very satisfied). However, the IPA Diagram shows that the Study Tour and Environmental Conservation Object Variables are in Quadrant I, meaning they are considered important but have satisfaction scores below the expectations of study tour participants. This is a recommendation to increase study tour activities at CSEL in the future
