Abstract
Pesanggrahan Coastal Forest has potential in the ecotourism and education sector because it has biodiversity and stunning landscapes. However, this condition does not rule out the possibility of changes due to the degradation of protected forest ecosystem functions. The instability of this ecosystem function can lead to reduced types of biodiversity in the Pesanggrahan Coastal Forest. Keeping the Pesanggrahan Coastal Forest intact needs to be addressed to reduce the threat of forest ecosystem function degradation. Management for the education and ecotourism sectors is useful when involving the community and other relevant stakeholders as a protection for achieving sustainable forest management. This study aims to analyze vegetation density using NDVI analysis of biogeodiversity and analyze eco-edutourism model planning for sustainable forest management in Pesanggrahan Coastal Forest, Srigonco Village, Bantur District, Malang Regency. Based on research data, it is known that the distribution of NDVI values in Pesanggrahan Coastal Forest in 2022 is in the vicinity of 0.63 - 0.85 which is included in the classification of dense vegetation or high density. High vegetation density can affect the high level of biogeodiversity as well. Based on the survey results, the number of plant species was 444 species belonging to 94 families. Thus, the diversity or composition of the plant taxon making up the vegetation in the Pesanggrahan Coastal Forest area is still high. The eco-edutourism model of the Pesangrahan Coastal Forest Area adapts the best practice model for forest management which is always related to social, economic, and environmental aspects.
