The Planning Concept of Sustainable Marine Based Ecotourism in Kuala Sempang Village, Bintan, Indonesia

Kuala Sempang is a coastal village in the Bintan Regency which has the largest mangrove ecosystem. This village’s advantageous location near the estuary of the Busung River gives it the opportunity to develop marine-based ecotourism. Unfortunately, this untapped potential has not yet been fully realized. Consequently, the purpose of this study is to propose a planning concept for the development of sustainable marine-based ecotourism in Kuala Sempang. This study employs both qualitative and quantitative methodologies, including interviews and observations, as well as visual analysis utilizing drone imagery and Google Earth. This study intends to generate a spatial and architectural design for potentially developable areas. In addition, a gross budget estimation plan (RAB Global) will also be produced, explaining the total amount will be spent on the development of each area. According to the findings, three seven locations have a good chance of becoming ecotourism destinations: Dapur Arang Sei Lepan, the coastal area of Busung Bridge, and the area surrounding Empat Islands. According to the RAB Global, a multi-years village fund would not be sufficient to cover the full expense of developing the area. Government assistance and private investment are also required for the development of these potential marine tourism destinations.

IDENTIFIKASI JENIS POLIMER MIKROPLASTIK PADA IKAN TONGKOL LISONG (Auxis rochei) DI PANTAI DAMAS PRIGI KABUPATEN TRENGGALEK JAWA TIMUR

Plastic has a fairly wide distribution in human life. The use of microplastics is very difficult to avoid because it has reduced various human activities. The use of plastics on a large and wide scale raises a problem for the environment and ecosytem through the degradation of plastics into microplastics. Microplastics have the potential to pose a threat to the environment and organisms, especially in water areas. Their small size allows microplastics to be ingested by zooplankton up to a higher trophic level. Damas Beach is one of the marine tourism destinations in the Prigi bay area with a potential fishery sector in East Java. The high activity of tourism and fishing causes Damas beach to be potentially polluted by microplastics. This study aims to determine the type of plastic polymer in the digestive tract of lisong tuna obtained in the Damas beach area, Prigi Bay, Treanggalek Regency, East Java. This study used a purposive sampling method with two repetitions. Types of microplastic polymers were analyzed using FTIR. The results of the analysis showed that the types of plastic polymers found in the digestive tract of lisong tuna include High Density Polyethylene (HDPE), Polyvinyl chloride (PVC), nylon (polyamide, Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET), Polypropylene (PP), and Polystyrene (PS).

For this purpose, the SWOT (Strength, Weakness, Opportunity, and Threat) analysis is expected to produce an appropriate development strategy so that it can also assist local stakeholders and the community in making decisions.

Assessing the Impact of Marine Tourism and Protection on Cultural Ecosystem Services Using Integrated Approach: A Case Study of Gili Matra Islands.

Cultural ecosystem services (CES) are intangible benefits people obtain from an ecosystem through physical and cognitive interactions. Understanding CES provides vital insights into how activities impacting ecosystem services also impact people. Gili Matra Islands, a set of three small tropical islands located in West Nusa Tenggara Province, Indonesia, are an increasingly busy marine tourism destination and a marine protected area. By integrating a hedonic monetary value model with a eudaemonic non-monetary value model, this study examines the impacts of tourism and marine protected area management on cultural ecosystem services in the Gili Matra Islands. Results showed that the distance had significantly influenced property prices to coastlines, beach spots and coastlines with sunset views. In addition, the property prices of each individual island showed significant correlations with particular marine tourism and protection features. Less restricted marine protected zones and coastlines were the most significantly influencing variables to the strong eudaemonic well-being dimensions expressed by residents. The Spiritual dimension produced the highest score and was most significantly affected by several features. This study utilised higher accuracy of properties and residents’ location, enabling more accurate assessments of interaction between CES and the features. This study also discusses how these novel insights in the small island’s CES case can inform vulnerability assessments, reviews of recreation taxes, and spatial planning for marine protected areas and help optimise beach nourishments.

Factors of magnificence, comfort and safety of marine tourism destinations cannot be used as a measure to obtain satisfaction. The quality of the environment and ecosystem of marine tourism areas that are free from harmful pollutants is an important factor to ensure the achievement of health and safety from exposure to harmful and toxic pollutants for every visitor. The purpose of this research is to trace and distribute mercury and cadmium pollutants in Makassar City KWB. Determination of pollutant concentrations Hg2+ and Cd2+ using SSA. Samples were obtained by incidental sampling method at 5 points each on Samalona Island and Kodingareng Keke. The results of the analysis showed that the average pollutant concentration in seawater samples from Samalona Island was ±1.0910 mg/L for Hg2+, and ±0.8893 mg/L for Cd2+, while on Kodingareng Keke Island it was ±0.9347 mg/L and ±0.3870 mg/L. Concentrations of heavy metal pollutants Hg2+ and Cd2+ in sediment samples from Samalona Island were ±1.3646 mg/L and ±1.9056 mg/L, respectively, while the same samples in Kodingareng Keke Island were ±0.8981 mg/L and ±0.6562 mg/L. The concentrations of these two types of pollutants in seawater and sediment samples exceeded the standard MTV of seawater quality. Sources of heavy metal contaminants Hg2+ and Cd2+ in the waters of the two islands of Makassar City KWB are thought to originate from the geological activities of the seabed, industrial operations, hotels and hospitals as well as household activities around the two islands.

Investigation of Global Trends of Pollutants in Marine Ecosystems around Barrang Caddi Island, Spermonde Archipelago Cluster: An Ecological Approach.

High-quality marine ecosystems are free from global trending pollutants’ (GTP) contaminants. Accuracy and caution are needed during the exploitation of marine resources during marine tourism to prevent future ecological hazards that cause chain effects on aquatic ecosystems and humans. This article identifies exposure to GTP: microplastic (MP); polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH); pesticide residue (PR); heavy metal (HM); and medical waste (MW), in marine ecosystems in the marine tourism area (MTA) area and Barrang Caddi Island (BCI) waters. A combination of qualitative and quantitative analysis methods were used with analytical instruments and mathematical formulas. The search results show the average total abundance of MPs in seawater (5.47 units/m3) and fish samples (7.03 units/m3), as well as in the sediment and sponge samples (8.18 units/m3) and (8.32 units/m3). Based on an analysis of the polymer structure, it was identified that the dominant light group was MPs: polyethylene (PE); polypropylene (PP); polystyrene (PS); followed by polyamide-nylon (PA); and polycarbonate (PC). Several PAH pollutants were identified in the samples. In particular, naphthalene (NL) types were the most common pollutants in all of the samples, followed by pyrene (PN), and azulene (AZ). Pb+2 and Cu+2 pollutants around BCI were successfully calculated, showing average concentrations in seawater of 0.164 ± 0.0002 mg/L and 0.293 ± 0.0007 mg/L, respectively, while in fish, the concentrations were 1.811 ± 0.0002 µg/g and 4.372 ± 0.0003 µg/g, respectively. Based on these findings, the BCI area is not recommended as a marine tourism destination.

Shallow-Water Benthic Habitat Mapping Using Drone with Object Based Image Analyses

Spatial information on benthic habitats in Wangiwangi island waters, Wakatobi District, Indonesia was very limited in recent years. However, this area is one of the marine tourism destinations and one of the Indonesia’s triangle coral reef regions with a very complex coral reef ecosystem. The drone technology that has rapidly developed in this decade, can be used to map benthic habitats in this area. This study aimed to map shallow-water benthic habitats using drone technology in the region of Wangiwangi island waters, Wakatobi District, Indonesia. The field data were collected using a 50 × 50 cm squared transect of 434 observation points in March–April 2017. The DJI Phantom 3 Pro drone with a spatial resolution of 5.2 × 5.2 cm was used to acquire aerial photographs. Image classifications were processed using object-based image analysis (OBIA) method with contextual editing classification at level 1 (reef level) with 200 segmentation scale and several segmentation scales at level 2 (benthic habitat). For level 2 classification, we found that the best algorithm to map benthic habitat was the support vector machine (SVM) algorithm with a segmentation scale of 50. Based on field observations, we produced 12 and 9 benthic habitat classes. Using the OBIA method with a segmentation value of 50 and the SVM algorithm, we obtained the overall accuracy of 77.4% and 81.1% for 12 and 9 object classes, respectively. This result improved overall accuracy up to 17% in mapping benthic habitats using Sentinel-2 satellite data within the similar region, similar classes, and similar method of classification analyses.

TOURISM BASED ON DISASTER MITIGATION IN ANYER, SERANG REGENCY

The beach in Anyer Serang is an area with a very famous marine and coastal natural tourism destination and is visited by many tourists. However, after the tsunami in December 2018, the number of tourists coming to Anyer decreased. This is because there is no guarantee of safety if tourists visit this area, lack of information about the disaster mitigation system, and the unavailability of signs/signs where and how to go when a disaster occurs, such as: evacuation routes, evacuation sites and so on. The objectives and targets of this Community Service activity are: (1) to find out whether visitors, traders, fishermen and local communities are given knowledge about disaster mitigation; (2) provide knowledge about disaster and disaster mitigation to visitors, traders, fishermen and local communities; (3) evaluation of knowledge about disaster and disaster mitigation in the tourism area of ​​Anyer, Serang Regency. This activity uses a tourism method based on individual disaster mitigation which is carried out directly at tourist attractions. In its implementation this method begins with interviews with visitors, traders, fishermen and local communities about tourist sites and disaster mitigation from entrances to exits, and several alternative evacuation routes, and several events that have occurred and may occur, then lectures - discussions (ask responsibility) related to disaster and disaster mitigation, then evaluate the knowledge of visitors, traders, fishermen and local communities about disasters and disaster mitigation. The location of this community service implementation is the Green Garden Resort Anyer tourist area, Serang Regency. This Community Service activity was carried out for visitors, traders, fishermen and local communities in April 2020. From the activities carried out, it can be concluded that the knowledge of tourists, traders, fishermen and local communities about disasters and disaster mitigation is still lacking, especially supported by the absence of guidelines. /sign disaster mitigation.

Study on suitability of Derawan Island as marine tourism destination towards development of sustainable tourism in the new capital city candidate of Indonesia

Derawan Island is one of the leading tourist destinations in Kalimantan Timur Province which is a candidate for the new capital city of Indonesia. Marine tourism on Derawan Island relies on the potential of marine resources so that a suitability study is needed for the development of sustainable tourism. This study aims to determine the suitability of marine tourism, especially the interest in diving and snorkeling in sites of Derawan Island. Data collection was carried out by surveying in December 2020 at five snorkeling and six popular dive sites in Derawan Island. Data on coral community, the number of coral fish species, and the water quality parameters are used to analyze the suitability of marine tourism. Line Intercept Transect (LIT) method was used to collecting coral community data, Underwater Visual Census (UVC) method was used to collect data on the abundance of reef fish species, and in situ water quality parameters. Tourism suitability index formula (IKW) using the four classification marine tourism suitability matrix was used to analyze the data. The results of the analysis show the suitability index for diving tourism as a whole is in suitable to very suitable category, while the snorkeling tourism suitability index is in the suitable category.

Marine Ecotourism Architecture

Tourism is the largest industry and the leading sector of multidimensional development that attracts attention to be developed by many archipelagic countries and regions. Marine ecotourism architecture is the right choice to be developed in an integrated manner based on its components in the form of attractions, accessibility, accommodation, amenities, and tourism, which is abbreviated as 5A tourism. This research article describes an architectural model prototype for marine ecotourism development based on Google SketchUp and Lumion Island Larea-rea as a marine tourism destination in the East Coast Region of South Sulawesi Province, Indonesia. This type of Research and Development applies the ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation) approach. Observation and interview techniques were used in field research to collect data and information which were analyzed descriptively. The results of the research in the form of a prototype architectural model design for developing Larea-rea Island tourism destinations based on 5A show natural and well-maintained ecological attractions because the white sand beaches have not been polluted with clear seawater and natural coral reefs. The architectural concept of marine ecotourism is a miniature island tourism destination that has an attraction in the form of a miniature mangrove forest to prevent beach abrasion and the local cultural theme amenity is reflected in the architecture of Rumah Sembilan where on the roof side adapts the design of the traditional Karampuang house. In other words, this marine ecotourism design applies the architectural theme of a recreational environment based on the micro-ecological concept as a building design, the marine adaptive micro-concept as the background, and the pragmatic micro-concept as a regional spatial layout.
