Model media learning for disaster risk reduction in the Batur UNESCO global Geopark

The development of tourism activities in the Batur UNESCO Global Geopark has brought many tourists to visit the area. Along with increasing tourism activities, the risk of disasters in the geopark area has also increased. One thing that can be done to reduce disaster risk in the Batur UGGp area is to utilize geoheritage as a learning medium for disaster risk reduction. In this study, we described quantitatively geoheritage by looking at its relationship with the priority actions of the Sendai framework. The results of the assessment of geological heritage values that have been carried out in 21 geosites of the geopark area show an interrelated relationship.Scientific, educational, tourism and degradation values of geoheritage sites have an important role in conveying information and messages related to disaster mitigation, which is in line with the objectives of Sendai's priority actions. Geological heritage sites can later be developed as an educational medium because it has accessibility capital, supporting facilities, good geological conditions, geological diversity it also contains geological informationthat can be used for education and research. Developing geological disaster information within geoheritage sites in geopark areas, may be in the form of geotrails and geotourism activities with the theme of disaster mitigation and earth heritage, Picture books for children based on site geoheritage information, especially those related to the introduction of geological disasters is also ideal to develop. A geological information center at the Batur Volcano Museum and are other educational acivities that can be made within the geopark area.

Implementation of 3A in the Development of Kid's Forest Rides in Ragunan

This study aims to analyze the implementation of 3A (Attraction, Accessibility, Amenities) on the Kid's Forest vehicle in Ragunan. The research method used is qualitative, with a descriptive qualitative approach and SWOT analysis. Data collection through direct observation, interviews, and previous literature studies. The results showed that Kid's Forest rides offer diverse and interesting attractions, accessibility in Ragunan Zoo is very good, and adequate amenity. SWOT analysis shows that the strengths of Kid's Forest rides are attractive concepts, strategic locations, and adequate facilities. The weaknesses are the limited target market and the lack of educational facilities. Opportunities can further develop tourism activities and facilities. The most influential threat is bad weather that cannot be controlled, because the rides are outdoor activities. Strategies that can overcome these problems include developing wider attractions, improving the quality of facilities, more effective promotion, developing educational facilities, and evaluating weather conditions. By implementing these strategies, Kid's Forest at Ragunan Wildlife Park can increase its attractiveness, provide a better experience for visitors, and can contribute to sustainable tourism development in South Jakarta.

Amalgamation of Bio-Eco Culture for Sustainable Island Tourism Development

Tourism development can benefit from integrating biology, ecology, and cultural elements. Bio-Eco culture in tourism development emphasizes preserving and showcasing a destination’s unique natural and cultural assets. This approach recognizes that ecosystems and cultural assets are often intertwined and should be considered in developing sustainable tourism. However, tourism development activities often conflict with these efforts. A recent study shows that tourism development has been pursued independently, leading to an imbalance in tourism development. The situation in the study area is identical. Therefore, this study aims to enhance the relationship between cultural ecology and human behaviour as a tool for developing sustainable tourism. Jerejak Island, Penang was selected as a study area. A quantitative approach was applied, involving 150 tourists as respondents. The research identified the potential of tourism resources in the study area and investigated tourist typology through their behaviour. The study revealed a gap between conserving the island’s ecological and biological quality, neglecting the protection of heritage resources, and excessively meeting the needs of tourists. To achieve sustainable tourism development, it is necessary to address these three areas in parallel. It makes the Bio-Eco Cultural in tourism development approach suitable for the study area. Overall, the Bio-Eco cultural approach is also an effort to conserve local tourism resources.

The development of tourism activities will be achieved, in line with global and regional policies, by promoting sustainable development and increasing stakeholders’ involvement. Beyond the affirmation of principles, it is necessary to establish concrete methods for integrating tourists, as stakeholders, into the decision-making process of tourism companies and for educating tourists in the choice of sustainable tourism destinations and activities. This article aims to review some possible methods for educating and involving tourists in sustainable tourism principles and behaviours, with reference to the measures already undertaken by large groups of tourism establishments.

Ecological Safety of Georgian Tourism

The development of tourism activity is highly dependent on external and internal factors. Terrorism is considered to be the main threat to tourism, although natural disasters cause no less negative impact around the world, which, in addition to material damage, can threaten the life and health of tourists. Environmental risks of regional and global nature are noteworthy. The natural processes spread on the territory of Georgia, along with other sectors of the economy, caused great damage to the tourism sector and related industries.

Совершенствование транспортной системы и перспектива развития туризма в Республике Алтай

Introduction. The Altai Republic is a mountainous region of the Russian Federation with a unique nature and a large number of attractions. Here, in recent years, the tourism sector has been actively developing; the annually increasing tourist flow (2021 - about 2.2 million people, 2022 - 2.5 million people) requires studying the relationship of the transport system with the tourism infrastructure and scientific substantiation of the prospects development of tourism activities in general. Materials and methods. The research is based on a combination of frame and route approaches to identify the territorial features of tourism development. The framework approach forms the basis of spatial planning methodology. The supporting framework of the region, as a linear-nodal structure of the territorial and functional relationship between its elements, gives the most complete picture of the organization of tourism in the region. Results. Transport accessibility largely determines the localization of the main tourist complexes and the prospects for implementing projects to create tourist infrastructure. In the region, a large volume of road construction was implemented within the framework of the regional program “Increasing the volume of construction and reconstruction of highways of the Altai Republic in the period 2015 - 2022.” However, most of the roads are adjacent to the federal highway R-256 (Chuysky tract); therefore the republic is characterized by a predominance of linear-radial routes. The use of the frame approach as a methodological basis for the study made it possible to identify the main linear objects and centers of tourism development on the territory of the Altai Republic. In combination with the route approach, an analysis of the distribution of the spatial configuration of the main route network was carried out across the region. This made it possible to identify opportunities for the development of ring structures, which will become a prospect for the development of the tourist network. Conclusion. Based on differences in natural resources, intensity of traffic flows, and features of tourist infrastructure, three sections of the Chuisky tract were identified. At each of these sites, key attractors have been identified that are places of disparagement for tourists and investors. Resume. We have identified prospects for circular routes that will contribute to the development of tourism infrastructure.

OPTIMALISASI PENGELOLAAN EKOWISATA HUTAN MANGROVE “LATI TUO“ UNTUK MENINGKATKAN PEREKONOMIAN WARGA DESA KLEMPANG SARI

Tourism, including environmental tourism, has become one of Indonesia's second-greatest foreign exchange contributors after petroleum and natural gas. The potential for Mangrove tourism is growing due to the ecotourism philosophy, which stresses nature conservation and local communities, particularly coastal areas. The solution to the issue of developing tourism activities in conservation areas is ecotourism. There is a Mangrove Forest ecotourism area called "Lati Tuo" in Klempang Sari Village, Kuaro District, Paser Regency, however, its management is not yet optimal. This activity intends to improve the management of "Lati Tuo" Mangrove ecotourism by developing supporting infrastructure at ecotourism sites. All activities involved teams from the village, Mulawarman University students, ecotourism managers, and the community around the location. The actions carried out include preparation, problem identification, planning, implementation, and assessment. Activities carried out at the "Lati Tuo" mangrove ecotourism site, Klempang Sari Village. This time, ecotourism management optimization operations are more focused on building several supporting facilities for visitor comfort, because tourist comfort is one of the variables that might influence tourists' decisions to visit a tourist site. Making chairs at each corner of the bridge and creating warning signs are among the activities that have taken place. Aside from that, there was the creation of gazebo name boards, the creation of Latin name plates for plants in the mangrove forest "Lati Tuo," and the creation of "Lati Tuo" Love Padlocks. The development of supporting facilities at the "Lati Tuo" mangrove ecotourism site was completed smoothly. The support of all stakeholders, including the village officials, ecotourism management, and the Klempang Sari Village Community, is critical to the success of this activity.

The urban landscape as a potential for tourism development: a study of the built landscape of Dourados/MS

Tourism is an economic activity that is characterized by the consumption of space. The visible portion of the geographical space - the landscape - is very important for this economic activity. The landscape is the first contact the tourist has with a destination, hence the importance of the landscape for the location visited. We could say that the landscape is a tourism heritage, as it is a visual synthesis of natural and human elements in a territory, elements that are transformed, through their original and unique values, into tourism resources. However, the landscape as a support for the development of tourism activities must be understood and analyzed if it is to support the practice of tourism, based on its urban uniqueness as a tourist attraction. The method used in this study is predominantly qualitative, and the data collection and analysis tools were developed based on a bibliographic, documentary and iconographic review. After collecting the data, they were selected and arranged, favoring in the analysis, the descriptive method of interpretation and explanation of the potential of the urban landscape in the town. Based on the results, which indicate that the landscape is an attraction for the practice of tourism, this study analyzes the urban landscape of the town of Dourados-MS as a potential aspect for tourism development.

Study of Gastropod Community Structure After Development of Tourism Activities on the Senjoyo River

It is thought that the development of the Senjoyo River as a tourist attraction in Semarang Regency will cause changes to the natural ecosystem in the area, one of which is changing the structure of the existing gastropod community. This research is a quantitative analysis research using a survey method that aims to examine the structure of the gastropod community after the development of tourism activities on the Senjoyo River. Gastropod samples were taken from 10 different observation stations along the Senjoyo River, which are located at 7˚22'23"S and 110˚31'37"E. Observation station locations were determined by the purposive random sampling method, based on tourism activity density. The result showed types of gastropods that were found in the Senjoyo River namely, Sulcospira testudinaria, Tarebia granifera, Brotia costula, Thiara scraba, and Melanoides tuberculata with clustered distribution patterns (Id>1). Statistical analysis showed that location affected gastropod abundance (Asymp. Sig of 0.043), with the highest abundance found at station seven (45,11 individuals/m2). So station seven, with sandy and muddy substrate conditions, moderate current speed (0.257 m/s), and rarely found human activity, is the most suitable location to support the survival of gastropods in the Senjoyo River. Furthermore, the gastropod community structure indicates environmental changes at observation stations nine and ten, the locations where the most activities and construction of tourism facilities were found. That was indicated by the low diversity (H’= 0.00-0.01) and evenness (E = 0.00) index of gastropods, and there is dominance by Sulcospira testudinaria (C= 0.98-1.00).

THE POTENTIAL FOR COMMUNITY TOURISM DEVELOPMENT IN PHU DINH COMMUNE, DINH HOA DISTRICT, THAI NGUYEN PROVINCE

Research on the potential of community-based tourism development in Phu Dinh Commune, Dinh Hoa District, Thai Nguyen Province, is essential because the commune has started to have community-based tourism households. In this study, we collected data by surveying tourists, authorities, and local people. We analyzed the data and made judgments about the needs of tourists from visitors’ evaluations, local people’s understanding, and difficulties with community-based tourism development activities. The results showed tremendous potential for community-based tourism development in Phu Dinh Commune. The potential for historical-cultural tourism has a significant position now, a prerequisite to attracting tourists to Phu Dinh. Besides, the natural tourism potential is also unique and attractive to tourists. To promote the above tourism potentials for community-based tourism development, it is necessary to have investment support in terms of capital, methods, and fostering knowledge of community-based tourism development for local people to attract tourists to visit historical and cultural sites (basically just a day visit). The tourists can both visit the Dinh Hoa Safety Area National Relic (An Toan Khu - ATK) and combine community-based tourism development (increasing the length of stay of tourists from going to the same day (up to 2-3 days). To achieve these results, it is necessary to converge factors such as policies to support and promote Phu Dinh community-based tourism development of the Department of Tourism, People’s Committees at all levels, the direction and guidance of the local government, and most importantly, the effort of local people learns from the experience of community-based tourism development models.

An investigation into the response of the soil ecological environment to tourist disturbance in Baligou.

The purpose of this study is to understand the response patterns of the soil ecological environment of the Macau Wetland Park to different levels of tourist interference and to provide a scientific basis for the rational development of the Bali Gou ecological tourism plan and the protection and management of the scenic area's ecological environment. Combine the methods of field collection and laboratory physical and chemical data analysis to analyze the impact of the strength of tourism disturbance on the soil ecological environment of Baligou. During the tourist activities in Baligou, the human factors in the process have an impact on the physical aspects of the scenic area's soil, such as soil bulk density, color tone, porosity, compactness, capacity, and leaf litter. In addition, pH value, soil enzyme activity, organic matter, and heavy metals in the soil have caused some interference. The overall data show that the dynamic of soil indicators is background area < buffer area < disturbed area,where the sample area is affected by human trampling and infrastructure construction and other disturbances leading to regular changes in the content of Pb and Cr in the sample soil, while the content of other heavy metals is lower than the national standard.The range of the most extreme values of the SRI integrated soil ecological response evaluation index was A1 disturbance area = 4.679 and C1 background area = 1.263, respectively. The larger the value of the SRI response index, the greater the impact and negative effect of the disturbance influence of tourism activities on the soil ecological environment of the scenic area, and the higher the level of response of the soil ecological environment of the scenic area to the disturbance of tourism activities. Moderate and reasonable tourism development activities play a role in promoting soil quality in scenic areas. Therefore, it is suggested to carry out reasonable ecological environment planning and take certain macro-measures to prevent the deterioration of the soil ecological environment, so as to achieve a win-win situation of ecological environmental protection while developing the tourism economy in scenic areas.

Spatio-temporal variability of the earth’s surface temperature and the changes in land user/land cover: implications for sustainable tourism development

ABSTRACT Tourism both contributes to environmental change and is, in turn, affected by such change. One area that is of considerable significance is tourism’s contribution to land use change and its subsequent impacts. Land use change, such as tourism urbanization, together with global heating leads to an increase in surface temperature and deterioration in environmental quality and human comfort levels. Understanding the implications of tourism-related land use change is therefore of considerable importance for climate adaptation. Using Landsat satellite images, the evolution of land users/covers and the temperature of the land surface between 1985 and 2020 were studied in Cyprus. The analysis of the data confirms that tourism development activities have influenced the increase in urban hotspots. This destination has experienced a 6.2°C increase in average temperature and 168.8% in the urban hotspot. Based on the findings the study highlights the implications for sustainable tourism development and potential means of mitigation.

Peningkatan Mutu SDM Melalui Pendidikan Dan Pemberdayaan Di Desa Belitar Seberang Kabupaten Rejang Lebong

The development of tourism in rural areas using the community participation method is an ideal condition that can be achieved on the basis of community enthusiasm as the basic and main capital. It is supported by the availability of natural and cultural resources, good governance, and also academics or other institutions as facilitators. In terms of developing tourism in Belitar Seberang Village, the Physical Education Study Program has a supporting role through community service activities in the development of a tourist village because this village is Dehasen University Bengkulu Development Village. It is intended so that there is an integration between the activities carried out. Then, assistance activities will be carried out in Mei 2023. This activity will contribute to the development of tourist attractions, especially nature tourism, and tourist accommodation in the form of homestays. Using the potential of institutional networks, the Physical Education Study Program collaborates with students and lecturers to jointly transfer knowledge to the community as owners and managers of tourist destinations. Interaction is carried out with the community through direct discussions in forum, namely tourism awareness groups (Pokdarwis). The results of the activity show that mentoring the development of tourism villages in a sustainable manner is able to build community enthusiasm to continue participate in village tourism development activities.

URBAN ECOTOURISM: TANTANGAN DALAM MENINGKATKAN PARTISIPASI MASYARAKAT KAMPUNG WISATA KOTA BOGOR

The success of urban ecotourism in tourism villages requires community participation, both in developing tourism activities and businesses and in tourism management. The research aims to analyze three aspects, namely natural and cultural potential, the obstacles faced by the community in managing tourism villages, and the potential for community participation in managing tourism villages. The research was conducted in two tourism villages located in the center of Bogor City, namely Pulo Geulis Village and Labirin Village. Primary data was collected by distributing questionnaires to community respondents and analyzed descriptively using the Kruskal Wallis test. The study shows that cultural potential is more likely to be utilized in an effort to improve the community's economy and attract tourist visits. Community participation is still limited to Kompepar membership and food and beverages providers. The low participation is strongly suspected because the income derived from the tourism business is still unable to meet daily needs. Continuous coaching and increasing synergy between communities in tourism villages is an important thing to do to increase community participation in tourism development.
