Amoroso, M. M., Chillo, V., Alcala, V. M., Rezzano, C. A., Arpigiani, D., Villacide, E. 2018. How does the silvopastoral use modify the structure and population dynamics of mixed cypress and coihue forests? Ecosistemas 27(3):33-40. Doi.: 10.7818/ECOS.1502 The mixed cypress (Austrocedrus chilensis) and coihue (Nothofagus dombeyi) forests of northwestern Patagonia are influenced by strong anthropic pressures such as silvopastoral, where sustainable management were not applied. The effects of this activity are diverse and can result in negative impacts through changes in the composition and dynamics of the plant community. The objective was to characterize the structure and composition of the canopy and understory vegetation of mixed cypress and coihue forests, under different intensities of silvopastoral use, to infer the impact of this activity on the population dynamics. We worked in three farms with livestock activity with forests under two use intensity levels (high and low) in a paired sampling design. The understory community was affected by the intensity of use, showing greater heterogeneity and complexity of the vegetationin areas of high intensity use and a modification in the architecture of the seedlings of the main canopy species due to the greater browsing severity. The changes found in the understory have the potential to cause changes in the developmental patterns of regeneration. However, the useintensity did not have a significant effect on the demographic structure of the populations of the major species indicating the studied farms and the different intensities of silvopastoral use that result, would not affect in a differential way the dynamics of the canopy community.

Tanjung Benoa Tourism Object is a leading tourism object in Badung Regency. The increasing number of tourists and residents has caused pressure on the water area, resulting in a decline in environmental quality. In sustainable tourism management, it is necessary to formulate an environmental management model developed based on local wisdom. The research method uses the Interpretative Structural Modeling (ISM) system approach to formulate an environmental management model for Tanjung Benoa tourism objects through interviews and focus group discussions involving community leaders and experts to formulate elements and sub-elements. The elements selected are (1) main constraints, (2) program objectives, (3) affected community sectors, (4) desired changes, and (5) the need for implementation of water pollution control programs. The results and findings of the study indicate that: (1) the main constraints in managing tourism objects in Tanjung Benoa are limited human resources and weak financial support; (2) The main targets of the program are to improve environmental quality, maintain environmental carrying capacity, reduce land conversion, change environmental behavior and awareness, and realize sustainable tourism; (3) The main influence is the government; (4) The main changes desired are environmental cleanliness, reduced environmental violations, the formation of environmental partnerships, sustainable tourism and environmental management, and increased awareness of the business world and the community; (5) The need for implementing the main program is budget availability. The recommended environmental management model is management that is implemented comprehensively and involves stakeholders in a participatory manner.

Space as a resource is intensively used both by the tourism and the local community. Therefore the state of the tourism development must be measured trough time, along with attitudes of local population, to determine the impacts and the pressure that can continues tourism development cause. In the 1990s, tourism become the motor of the development of Croatia, which has resulted in continues increase of the number of tourist beds. On the other hand population of the Croatia is experiencing the demographic extinction. To explain pressures of the tourism development on the decreasing community, tourism function index was used in comparison with the research of the attitudes of local population considering tourism impacts. The main objective of this paper is to determine the correlation between the increase in the number of tourists and changes in the life of local population, which arises from the tourism activities in destinations, as well as from the ratio of the number of residents and tourists. The attitudes analysis has shown high level of the negative impacts of tourism in seven Adriatic counties, while in continental parts of Croatia tourism is seen as an activity with mostly positive effects. Still tourism has generally positive impact on the destination and is seen as desirable activity, even in areas with relatively high tourism function index. Accordingly, to enhance the positive impacts it is essential to diminish extremely big differences in tourism development between too developed coastal areas and mainly neglected continental part of the country and to reduce seasonality of tourism, trough sustainable management and diversification of tourism offer in accordance with spatial disparities.

Despite negative consequences from the COVID-19 pandemic, there are certain positive effects from this crisis including the restoration of natural resources. Using the institutional theory framework, this paper aims to explore how sustainable tourism management can be applied to manage recovered natural resources after the COVID-19 crisis. Qualitative research in the form of in-depth interviews, focus group interviews, and observations was conducted to demonstrate how Krabi tourism stakeholders could collaborate among themselves in order to sustain recovered natural resources after the COVID-19 pandemic. Informants of the study are Krabi tourism stakeholders; i.e., tourism business owners and managers, members of tourism associations, government officers, CBT members, that are recruited by purposive sampling method. This research has shed light on how tourism stakeholders can co-create tourism policies to respond to sustainability issues using the institutional process. In order to develop a successful sustainable tourism management plan, we propose that the plan should consist of three aspects—environmental, social, and economic. The findings from this research offer benefits to tourism stakeholders around the world for reshaping sustainable tourism management in order to take care of magnificent tourism resources after the COVID-19 outbreak.

This study aims to analyze the tourist attraction of Lake Weekuri on the economy and social community of Moro Mandoyo Village. Lake Weekuri, located in Southwest Sumba Regency, East Nusa Tenggara, has become an increasingly popular tourist destination in recent years. The natural beauty and cultural richness of Lake Weekuri attracts both domestic and foreign tourists. This study uses a qualitative approach with interview, observation, and documentation study methods to collect data related to the impact of tourist visits on the local economy and social changes in the local community. The results of the analysis show that the existence of Lake Weekuri has a positive impact on the community's economy, especially in the tourism, trade, and small and medium enterprises (SMEs) sectors. The increase in the number of tourists has created new job opportunities, increased community income, and encouraged the development of local infrastructure. However, there are also challenges related to the management of tourist destinations that need to be considered to ensure the sustainability of these positive impacts. Socially, the development of the tourism sector has brought changes in people's lifestyles, both in cultural, social, and educational aspects. The people of Moro Mandoyo Village are increasingly open to changes and opportunities offered by tourism, but also face challenges in maintaining the sustainability of local culture and the balance between tradition and modernity. This study provides recommendations for more sustainable tourism management, which takes into account community needs and environmental conservation, so as to maximize economic and social benefits for the people of Moro Mandoyo Village.

Sustainable tourism aims to protect the environment, thereby maintaining environmental carrying capacity. To achieve the viability of a sustainable tourist environment, it is necessary to establish a tourist village. Tourists will be interested in visiting tourist attractions if they get satisfaction. This satisfaction is obtained based on decision making. A decision can be considered rational if the plan chosen is in accordance with the desired goals. Rationality is also related to tourist attraction. The purpose of the study explains the influence of tourist rationality on sustainable tourism management. The research method is an explanatory study with a quantitative approach. The research location is Berjo Village, precisely at Jumog Waterfall and Madirda Pond. The population is tourists visiting tourist villages. A sample of 100 respondents. The sampling technique is convenience sampling. Test validity and reliability using SPSS 26. The results showed that the influence of tourist rationality on sustainable tourism management caused by direct effect, indirect effect, correlated effect, spurious effect. The path analysis coefficient is 0,457. Sustainable tourism management is explained by the rationality of tourists at 9% and percentage of variance, i.e., 91%, can be explained by other causes.

The present study examined the impact of community empowerment programs on sustainable tourism management at Ria Bomo Beach in Banyuwangi Regency. A quantitative descriptive approach was utilized to collect the data. The approach entailed the administration of a survey of 30 members of Benteng Samudera Community-Based Surveillance Group, a local fishing community that manages tourism activities at the beach. A regression analysis was conducted to ascertain the extent to which the empowerment program contributed to the variation in sustainable tourism management. The result of the analysis indicated that the program accounted for 35.4% of the variation, with the remaining 64.6% being attributable to other factors. The program’s core emphasis is divided into three primary dimensions: enabling (establishing a conducive environment), empowering (increasing community capacity), and maintaining (cultivating self-reliance). The program implementation consists of social assistance, integration of renewable energy sources such as solar panels, and conservation activities such as sea turtle hatchling rehabilitation to maintain biodiversity. This initiative has the dual benefit of enhancing the local economy by diversifying income sources from the traditional fishing sector to the tourism industry, while concurrently fostering environmental conservation awareness. However, with 64.6% of factors uncovered, further research is recommended to explore other variables such as infrastructure and policy support. Practical recommendations include increased community participation in program planning and implementation, expansion of conservation programs, and adoption of environmentally friendly technologies. This study lends further credence to the notion that the empowerment of communities constitutes a pivotal strategic element in achieving sustainable tourism that is economically, socially, and environmentally balanced.
