Design of a Digital Map to Support Coffee Shop Tourism Guided by the Ambeu Preanger Community in Pangalengan District

Pangalengan is one of the tourist destinations in West Java that is currently popular and has resulted in an increase in the number of tourists. This density occurs especially in tourist attractions that have quite big names. One of the advantages of Pangalengan is coffee, which is known as the best coffee commodity in West Java. However, the existence of a coffee shop in the Pangalengan area has not been able to encourage the growing interest of tourists to come to the coffee shop. One of the problems faced is the absence of mapping which is a source of information on the existence of coffee shops in the Pangalengan area. This research used the 4D RD method consisting of 4 main stages namely Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate which were carried out at the Ambeu Preanger Coffee Farming Community. The results of the study show that one of the causes of the non-publication of coffee shops in the Pangalengan area is caused by the information media which does not expose coffee shops as a tourism commodity. The existence of a digital map is considered to be able to support the tour of the Ambeu Preanger Community Assisted Coffee Shop in Pangalengan District so it is hoped that with a digital map that specializes in the shops above it will become better known and will certainly generate good profits for the continuity of its business

Pengaruh Penggunaan Benih Bersertifikat Terhadap Produksi dan Efisiensi Teknis Usahatani Kentang di Kecamatan Pangalengan

The average food consumption for potato commodities in Indonesia is 2.20 kg/capita/year, an increase of 9% from 2013. The need for potato consumption will increase as Indonesia's population increases. The growth rate of potato production is lower than that of potato consumption; therefore, it is necessary to increase potato productivity. The productivity level of potatoes in Indonesia is still low and fluctuates, with an average potato productivity of 18.23 tons/hectare. Increasing potato productivity can be done by increasing technical production efficiency or using certified seeds. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of using certified seed on the production and technical efficiency of potato farming in the Pangalengan district as one of the potato production centers in Bandung Regency. The technical efficiency analysis of the potato crop was performed using the Cobb-Douglas Stochastic Frontier Analysis production function with a total of 70 potato farmers as respondents, with details that 30 persons are using certified potato seed and 40 persons are using not certified potato seed. The results indicate that using certified potato seed has increased potato production. Overall, the average technical efficiency of potato production in the Pangalengan district is 70.10%, which means efforts to improve efficiency are still required. There is no significant difference in technical efficiency between potato farms using certified seed and not certified seed which means using certified potato seed has yet to be able to increase the technical efficiency of potato farms. One of the factors that significantly affect technical efficiency is land ownership status.
