Conservation threats from tourism land grabs and greenwash

We report a new threat to conservation, namely land grabs by large tourism developers inside public protected areas. Locally, these tourism land grabs damage national parks through building footprints and access corridors, bringing habitat fragmentation, noise, light, roadkill, fire risk, and invasive plant and animal species and pathogens. They also create negative impacts on social equity and regional economies. The global tourism industry now perceives private development in public national parks as a mechanism to profit from land speculation, rather than merely monopoly provision of visitor services. Investment funds now use tourism, often with socialwashing components, as a political lever for land grabs. International “nature positive” marketing by tourism industry associations and multilateral tourism advocacy organisations is greenwash: it lacks substance, and aims to coopt conservation organisations.

Dynamics of Coastal Land Use Change and Prospects for Sustainable Marine Ecotourism in Nusa Penida Island

Nusa Penida has rich marine ecosystems, such as coral reefs and mangroves, which are residents' main source of income through fisheries, seaweed cultivation, and tourism. Land use change in Jungut Batu Village, Nusa Lembongan, has implications for the environment and economy in the coastal area of Nusa Penida. This study uses secondary data and Google Earth software to analyze changes in the area. From 2009 to 2020, significant changes occurred from seaweed cultivation to tourism land and back to seaweed cultivation during the pandemic. This analysis reflects the evolving economic dynamics and environmental impacts. The transformation from cultivated land to a marine ecotourism destination demonstrates an evolution in approaches to sustainable land use. However, the negative impacts of mass tourism highlight the need for a shift towards environmentally friendly and sustainable tourism. Collaboration between communities, tourism actors, government, and continued research is key in developing an effective and sustainable ecotourism model for Nusa Penida.

RESISTANCE OF NU AND AUMA RELATIONS IN PAMEKASAN REGENCY

Abstract: Looking at the fact that there is a practice of intolerance with violence that occurred in Pamekasan shows that there is polarization of Muslim groups in Pamekasan with the growth of right-wing groups such as AUMA. This research aims to reveal the resistance of AUMA and NU Pamekasan using a qualitative phenomenological approach, data collection was carried out using interviews, observation and documentation. This research utilizes Gilin's relationship theory, namely whether the relationship between NU and AUMA carries out compromise, mediation, conciliation, restraint and court proceedings. The results of this research show that AUMA has a very dominant influence in cases of violence in the name of religion in Pamekasan. This occurs because of AUMA and NU's resistance to several religious thoughts that are not in line, AUMA does not agree with NU regarding Indonesian Islam, women leaders and several issues. other. Cases such as the burning of tourist land and the siege of officials' houses are forms of resistance between the two. The results of this research are also in sharp contrast to Hamdi's research. Where Hamdi found that the relationship between NU and the former FPI in Bangkalan was very good, so that there was a leadership merger between the former FPI and used this good relationship as a force to reduce acts of intolerance. One of the factors that strengthened the AUMA Effect in Pamekasan was the existence of an idea or regional regulation regarding Pintusalam where Islamism in Pamekasan became the embryo of AUMA religious thought.

Dilli Haat INA: A Unique Intersection of Tourism and Commercial Use of Urban Land

A significant socioeconomic activity of the populace that directly produces services, goods, foreign exchange, jobs, and investments is tourism. Today, people go to a variety of locations to escape the daily tedium of life. They are mostly drawn to a place by either the breathtaking natural scenery or the intriguing leisure, sports, and adventure activities that are on offer there. Atithi Devo Bhavah when translated in English means ‘The Guest is equivalent to God’. It is the adage used by the Indian Tourism to lure millions of Tourists from across the globe. India because of its diversities is a haven for tourists from around the world. The aim of this work is to comprehensively outline How Delhi Ina haat as a unique combination of commercial as well as socio spatial space uses the urban land for both tourism as well as commercial purpose. Primary data has been congregated through questionnaires containing both close ended and open-ended questions. Also, secondary data gathered from web resources, seminars, conferences and books. The findings demonstrate that Delhi Ina haat is found to be more preferred, pleasing and gratifying place which accounts the real multiplicity of handicrafts and cuisines of respective states of India which is both an amalgamation of tourism as well as commerce in a single landscape.

Land Use Modeling Scenarios using Spatial Dynamic Model in Badung Regency

Management of land use is necessary to maintain the balance between human needs and environmental aspects. Known as the highest-income region in Indonesia, Badung Regency has substantial demand for land utilization for tourism activities. The conversion of productive agricultural land to tourism areas would threaten the sustainability of natural ecosystems in Badung. This study aims to predict the future land use in Badung Regency in 2033 through two development scenarios, Bussiness As Usual (BAU) and Rapid Economic Growth (REG). The simulation was carried out using spatial dynamic models of cellular automata. Several satellite imageries, municipal data, field surveys, and influencing factors of land transition have been utilized as input for the model. The result indicates that the residential area dominated the development in the BAU scenario with the direction of residential development spreading to the south, and new tourism development portrayed in the north close to the agricultural area. While in the REG scenario, tourism land use had significant growth that does not only approach agricultural land but also protected forest areas in the north. The model accuracy showed moderate agreement according to the Kappa index both in BAU and REG scenarios. The finding of this study could support the decision maker to create a better policy considering the potential impact of land use growth direction.

PRIORITY MODEL OF TOURISM DEVELOPMENT IN PARIAMAN CITY

This study aims to develop tourism development priorities and marine tourism policy directions in Pariaman City. To assess the suitability of marine tourism land, 10 indicators are used, namely water brightness, beach type, beach depth, substrate, current speed, live coral cover, disaster proneness, and accessibility. The analytic hierarchy process approach, considering four criteria; government support, tourism industry, community support, and land availability-is used to determine the tourism potential index. Findings from 10 observation points reveal that two observation locations were very suitable (S1) for marine tourism, four fall into the appropriate category (S2), and the remaining 4 are marginally suitable (S3). Based on the tourism development potential index, the top three priority observation points are P5, P6, and P7. The results indicate that observation point P6 has the highest value, while observation point P2 has the lowest. The prioritised policy direction strategy for developing marine tourism in Pariaman City includes three subelements: A6 (attracting investors for marine tourism development), A5 (increasing the frequency of tourist attractions), and A1 (improving beach cleanliness).

Plant Composition and Species Use in Agroforestry Homegardens in the Eastern Amazon, Brazil

Agroforestry home gardens are integrated arrangements of common vegetable plants near residences, resembling tropical forests. They cultivate multiple species to meet families’ basic needs, including food, medicine, and family activities. This study aimed to assess the composition and use of plant species in agroforestry home gardens in three municipalities in the western region of Pará. The study analyzed 119 home gardens in Belterra, Mojuí dos Campos, and Santarém in Pará, Brazilian Amazonia. These home gardens span peri-urban, urban, floodplain, indigenous, and tourist land zones. Data were collected through questionnaires and visits, surveying 5323 plants from 188 species and 62 plant families. The findings revealed that 80.5% of plants concentrated in just 18.6% of the species, with no significant difference in species per home garden across zones. Notably, food species, particularly fruit-bearing plants, dominated these home gardens. This indicates a potential emphasis on incentive programs and public policies. Most home gardens contained up to 17 plant species, while less than half included medicinal plants. Native and exotic species were equally represented, with native plants valued for shading benefits. Agroforestry home gardens are vital for conserving and cultivating food species. Their specific purposes influence species distribution and selection, showcasing their socioeconomic and environmental significance. Thus, recognizing and investing in these land-use systems is crucial to maintain and enhance regional benefits.

Incorporating High-Speed Rail Development Scenario for Tourism Land Use Simulation: A Case Study of Xinxing County, China

High-speed rail (HSR) has been proven to drive the development of regional tourism. However, few studies paid attention to the impact of HSR on future tourism land use. In this study, points of interest (POI) were used to obtain the locations and types of tourism facilities, and high-resolution remote sensing images helped us determine the spatial extents of the tourism facilities, so that tourism land could be identified. A system dynamics (SD) model was coupled with the patch-generating land use simulation (PLUS) model to simulate future tourism land by considering two scenarios, including HSR-led development (HRD) and the historical development pattern (HD) scenario. The SD model was employed to project the amount of tourism land and determine the HSR effects via empirical analysis. The PLUS model was applied to simulate the spatial distribution of tourism land and model the HSR effect by adopting a planned tourism area as the development area. The study area is Xinxing County in Guangdong Province, China, a county dominated by rural tourism, with the HSR expected to open in 2025. The results revealed that the SD-PLUS model has great advantages in simulating tourism land use change, and the HRD scenario leads to major changes in the sources of tourism land growth. This research provides new insights for policymakers on making countermeasures for the sustainability of tourism and rural revitalization at the county level.

Characteristics of Spatiotemporal Variations and Driving Factors of Land Use for Rural Tourism in Areas That Eliminated Poverty

This study explores the spatiotemporal characteristics and driving factors of land use for rural tourism in areas that eliminated poverty from 2009 to 2021. It puts forward targeted governance measures to promote the high-quality development of rural tourism, poverty alleviation, and rural revitalization. The analysis is based on exploratory spatial analysis methods and geographical detectors. The results show that (1) the overall level of land use for rural tourism was low but grew very quickly with large regional differences. (2) There was a significant spatial agglomeration in land use for rural tourism land. The spatial distribution of land use for rural tourism landscapes was characterized by two cores and four clusters, while spatial distribution of rural tourism facilities was characterized by one cluster with multiple branches. (3) The driving factors of spatial variations in land use for rural tourism were diverse and dynamic. Dominant factors shifted from natural conditions and geographical location to socioeconomic and tourism resources and regional policy dimensions. Policy should emphasize the development of the rural tourism industry, innovate the diversified “tourism + development” model, enhance the level of land use for rural tourism, broaden avenues for farmers to increase their income, and strengthen residents’ motivation for development.

Research on the interaction of "tourism development-land use-landscape pattern" since the 1990s in a small karst basin, China.

The rapid rise of tourism in the karst regions has promoted the development of the local economy by relying on the unique landforms and landscapes. However, tourism development is often accompanied by land use changes and has an impact on the ecological environment. Exploring the coupling relationship between "tourism development-land use-landscape pattern" is very important for ecologically fragile karst areas. Taking the Yulong River Basin as an example, this research applied 3S technology, spatial analysis based on POIs, and regression analysis to the following: (1) identifying the process and effects of land use change, (2) determining the spatial pattern of tourism land and its correlation with land use change, (3) determining the characteristics and impacts of landscape pattern evolution. As the results suggested: (1) The significant expansion of construction land occupies a large amount of farmland, there is a balanced relationship between farmland and forest land for mutual conversion. (2) The aggregation of tourist land is affected by the trend of tourist behavior and the distribution of scenic spots. There is a significant moderate positive correlation between tourism land and construction land. (3) With the land use change, landscape heterogeneity has improved, but landscape fragmentation is serious and landscape connectivity is reduced. This research provides new evidences for the effect of the rapid development of tourism on land use change and ecological environment and as a reference to future orderly and moderate land development and ecological sustainability in karst regions.

Study on the Current Situation of Mountain Tourism Development and Land Use Policy in Wenzhou

The current mountain tourism in Wenzhou suffers from lagging infrastructure construction, serious shortage of land for construction, lack of depth in tourism commodities and shortage of talents in the tourism industry. At the same time, the realistic and legal problems reflected in the touristic flow of mountainous hilly land resources are also hindering the further development of mountain tourism in Wenzhou. Based on this, it is proposed that the rights of mountainous land should be clarified, the regulations on tourism land should be improved, the supply mode of land should be innovated and the scientific guidance of the government should be strengthened.

Evaluation System of Rural Sustainable Tourism Land Based on Ecosystem Service Value

Abstract With the development of the economy, people’s living standards are getting higher and higher. People will look for ways to relax after busy work, and rural tourism is a slow-paced life. The purpose of this paper is to analyse the evaluation system of rural sustainable tourism land based on ecosystem service value. In this paper, an evaluation model based on AHP and association rules is proposed, and the two methods are described in detail. The experimental results of this paper show that the number of tourists has increased from 12 % in 2014 to 24.9 % in 2020, and the growth rate of tourism revenue has increased from 24 % in 2014 to 30 % in 2020. Rural tourism is an important part of tourism and an important force to implement the strategy of rural revitalisation. It plays an important role in accelerating the modernisation of agriculture and rural areas, the integrated development of urban and rural areas, and poverty alleviation in poor areas. The number of farm stays has increased from 1.9 million in 2014 to 3.25 million in 2020. It can be seen that with the growth of time, the rapid development of the economy, and increasing people who love to travel, this has led to changes in the utilisation rate of rural land. Therefore, the research on the evaluation system of rural sustainable tourism land based on ecosystem service value is very meaningful.

Development Potential Evaluation for Land Resources of Forest Tourism Based on Fuzzy AHP Method

With the development of modern economy and society, people have higher and higher requirements for spiritual needs request. The demand of traveling is a key growth point of the people’s spiritual needs. Forest tourism has become an important part of the forestry modernization. Its reasonable development can provide a site for urban residents’ leisure and health preservation, and help the revitalization of local villages and economic development. However, there are few studies on the evaluation methods of forest tourism land resources potential development around the world nowadays, and the planning and development of forest land resources are also lack of scientific guidance. The research work of this paper is carried out based on the realistic problems above, through analyzing the characteristics of the land resources of forest tourism, carding the main indicators of forest land resources development value, and fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is studied to evaluate its development potential. The relevant conclusions can provide a theoretical guidance for the forest land resources development and planning, which will improve the development quality and effect of forest land resource.

Land use pattern of Varanasi city and its environ

Land is the most important and basic resource for both survival and prosperity of human beings. The utilization of piece of land for the economic benefits is defined as Land use/ Land utilization. Their appraisal, evaluation and efficient utilization are very crucial based on the technological developments, population characteristics of that particular region. Pressure of Population on urban land use is remarkable and needs a thorough analytical evaluation for the proper urban land use planning and its management. This present paper highlights the pattern of land use in Varanasi city. For the purpose of discussionthecategoriesoflandusehadbeenbroadlydividedintoResidential,Commercial, Administrative and Tourism land uses. Historical aspects of the cultural landscapes of the sacred city had been discussed elaborately. The city's multi-lingual, multi-religious, multi-racial and multi-cultural characteristics of population plays a significant role to modify the urban landscape to a considerable extent is highly remarkable.

Impacts on food web properties of island invertebrate communities vary between different human land uses

Human land use is of growing concern for island ecosystems. Besides direct impacts on biodiversity, land uses can alter the functioning and structure of ecosystems. Central to this are impacts on food webs. The release of additional nutrients from human origin, habitat homogenization, or environmental filtering due to human land use can change the diet of individual consumer species (i.e., their trophic niches) and the distribution and overlap of trophic niches within a food web. However, it remains largely unclear whether the effects on food web properties vary between the different and predominant human land uses present on islands. Here, we investigated the impact of two dominant human land uses on small oceanic islands (i.e., urban and tourism development) and tested if and how different land uses on islands affect food web structure. To disentangle human land uses, we investigated islands, which were either privately owned by a tourist facility (i.e., exclusively tourism land use) or experienced urban development from the local population (i.e., urban land use), or remained uninhabited, serving as reference sites free of direct land use. Using stable isotope analysis, we show that isotope signature, trophic (isotopic) niches, and overall food web properties of the investigated island invertebrate communities were significantly changed under both land use regimes. While trophic diversity was reduced and trophic niche widths increased under tourism land use, the investigated food webs showed reduced trophic diversity at the food web base and a more uneven trophic niche distribution under urban land use. In summary, these findings show that different human land uses can have contrasting impacts on oceanic island food webs. As oceanic islands experience rapidly growing human land conversion, our results indicate that they may also face increasing yet unpredictable long-term changes in food web dynamics.

Identification of Land Use and Land Change due to its impact on Groundwater Level in Surakarta city

Surakarta City is the center of economic activity in the great Solo area. As a result, land use changes occur very quickly. This study aims to identify land use and land changes due to their effects on groundwater levels in Surakarta City. The method used in this research is a descriptive-quantitative method. The analysis technique used is time series, by comparing image data for 2003, 2008, and 2019. The image is obtained from Google Earth and then visually interpreted in a GIS application to get the land use area. Land use in Surakarta City includes buildings, agriculture, vacant land, tourist land, waters, settlements, green open spaces, rice fields, shrubs, and dryland agriculture. The results of image processing show that there is a change in land use in Surakarta City. The results show that there is a relationship between land use/change with an increase in population and ground water use. The areas most affected by the decline in groundwater are in the central part of the city of Surakarta, especially in the villages of Sangkrah and Semanggi.
