Travel Agencies As Marketing Distribution To Gaining Hotel Occupancy, A Case Study In Pangandaran

This research was conducted with the intention of knowing how the role of travel agencies in providing support for hotel occupancy rates in the Pangandaran area, especially Surya Kencana Seaside Hotel. The research was conducted using a literacy study method on various supporting data collected during 2018-2022. The data collected was then analysed for things that affect hotel occupancy rates, especially based on data from guests who book hotel rooms through travel agencies both online and offline. Based on the results of the analysis, information was obtained that sales made through online travel agencies were higher than offline travel agencies . This is because bookings made by consumers are more practical. Currently there are many sites that provide online room booking media services . The presence of online travel agencies greatly affects the world of tourism and is beneficial for hotels in terms of saving promotional costs. The conclusion that can be drawn from this research is that Online Travel Agent still affects the room occupancy rate at Surya Kencana Seaside Hotel because there are many new policies and the latest promotions in attracting customers. Offline Travel Agent must work harder to beat Online Travel Agent in terms of providing support in increasing room occupancy.

Analysis of extreme wave probabilistic return value based on the 20-year spectral and empirical wave modeling approach in the Coastal Area of Pangandaran

Abstract The coastal area of Pangandaran is located on the southern coast of Java Island, Indonesia. It offers stunning beach panoramas, and tempting waves for surfers, while also providing livelihoods for people who depend on the marine biodiversity and abundance of fish caught in the surrounding waters. However, its exposure to the Indian Ocean makes it susceptible to extreme waves, posing risks to tourism, fishing, and safety. This study aims to conduct an extreme wave hazard analysis based on the Probabilistic Return Value (PRV) using Significant Wave Height (SWH) data for over 20 years of data to obtain a wave climate value in the Batukaras area. The SWH values are obtained from two methods, numerical spectral wave modeling using Simulating Waves Nearshore (SWAN) and calculations using an empirical formula from the Joint North Sea Wave Project (JONSWAP), both using wind data from the ERA-5 Satellite. Based on these calculations, the Gumbel distribution was analysed to determine the PRV value on the coast. By estimating the return value of extreme waves based on the spectral SWAN method, for a return period of 300 years, extreme wave events occur at a height of 2.01 m to 2.64 m at a depth of 5-21 m. Meanwhile, the empirical JONSWAP method generates the same probability for wave heights of 7.19 m to 12.81 m based on statistical predictions based on modeling data. Based on these results, community and tourist preparedness on the coast of Batukaras Village is expected to increase, particularly during bad weather.

Carbon stock of mangrove ecosystem and role blue economy in Pangandaran West Java

The mangrove ecosystem is a forest area that grows in coastal areas and is located at a distance of 200 meters from the shoreline. Mangroves are one of the blue-carbon ecosystems that can absorb CO2 through the process of photosynthesis and store carbon in the form of biomass in the soil. Mangroves are the second largest store of carbon stocks in waters after coral reefs. The availability of mangrove ecosystem carbon stock data is very important as a baseline in the greenhouse data inventory from blue carbon ecosystems. Blue carbon can be used as a reference for the welfare of coastal communities commonly called the blue economy, the blue economy focuses on generating economic growth from the fisheries and marine sector in Indonesia. Marine ecosystems are also impacted by climate change. Based on data from WWF's Living Blue Planet Report 2015, the number of marine populations decreased by 49% in the period 1970- 2012. The data is closely related to the sustainable economic growth of the marine fisheries sector, in this case, the mangrove ecosystem. Analysis of mangrove ecosystems using circle plots carried out measurements of tree diameter and length and identification of tree species according to predetermined subplots then analyzed the amount of carbon stock using the Allometric Equation Model. The result obtained is that 80% of mangrove habitat conditions are still very good so they can contribute to producing a total stored carbon stock (blue carbon) of 55.98 tons/ha this can be an ecosystem service for the surrounding community that can increase the blue economy in the Pangandaran area of West Java.

Smart street lighting is a key application in smart cities, enabling the monitoring and control of street lamps through internet connectivity. LoRa/LoRaWAN, an IoT technology, offers advantages such as low power consumption, cost-effectiveness, and a wide area network. With its extensive coverage of up to 15 kilometers and easy deployment, LoRa has become a favored connectivity option for IoT use cases. This study explores the utilization of LoRaWAN in Pangandaran, a regency in the West Java province of Indonesia. Implementing LoRaWAN in this context has resulted in several benefits, including the ability to monitor and control street lighting in specific areas of Pangandaran and real-time recording of energy consumption. The primary objective of this research is to estimate the number of LoRaWAN gateways required to support smart street lighting in Pangandaran. Two methods are employed: coverage calculation using the free space loss approach and capacity calculation. The coverage calculation suggests a requirement of 34 gateways, whereas the capacity calculation indicates that only two gateways are needed. Based on these findings, it can be inferred that, theoretically, a maximum of 34 gateways would be necessary for smart street lighting in the Pangandaran area. However, further research, including driving tests, is recommended to validate these results for future implementation. This study provides insights into the practical application of LoRaWAN technology in smart street lighting, specifically in Pangandaran. The findings contribute to optimizing infrastructure and resource allocation, ultimately enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of urban lighting systems.

In the partial test, only the land area variable has a partial effect on production.

Improving the value of lobster selling with grading method using machine vision technology

Lobster is a product of the fishery sector which has a very high selling value, fishermen in coastal areas, especially in the Pangandaran area, sell the catch on traditional markets and are exported overseas. The expensive lobster selling value is inversely proportional to the income received by fishermen, the problems faced are influenced by several factors, namely whether, fishing regulations, and technology used, lobster sales will increase if the sales process if fishermen can sort and sort lobster sized large, which has a very high export value, the problems faced by fishermen currently sell directly to the fish market or buyers without going through the grading process. The grading system can be done manually but this causes the lobster to become not fresh because of the fairly long sorting process. The sorting and grading system method is a must so that a sold lobster possesses export value and quality, some large fishermen use a very large and fairly expensive sorting tool and are only owned by fishermen with large capital as well as catching patterns and large-scale lobster production. In small fishermen limited to the number of catches and transport capacity.

Identification of suspected paleotsunami deposits study from Karapyak Beach, Pangandaran area, West Jawa, Indonesia

Identifying and constraining palaeotsunami deposits can be a vital tool for establishing the periodicity of earthquakes and their associated tsunami events beyond the historical records. However, the deposits can be difficult to establish and date. In this study we used the characteristics of the 2006 Pangandaran tsunami deposit as a reference for identification of paleotsunami deposits in Karapyak Beach, Pangandaran area, West Java, Indonesia. Similar to the 2006 Pangandaran tsunami deposit, the Karapyak Beach paleotsunami deposit is characterized by light brown loose sand materials overlying a dark brown paleosoil layer with erosional contact. A thin layer that varies in thickness is locally found right above the erosional contact, with non-laminated coarser grain in the lower part that gradually change into medium to fine sand-sized in upper part. The base of the lower part is rich with broken mollusc shells and corals, and the mid-top of the lower part may contain several intact molusc shells and corals, rock fragments and anthropogenic products (rooftile). Those types of fragments are absent in the upper part of the thin layer. Grain size analysis shows a mixture of fine and coarse grains in the lower part of 2006 tsunami deposits as well as in the suspected paleotsunami deposits, suggesting uprush high energy flow during sedimentation. Fining upward sequence above mixed grain layers reflects waning flow or pre-backwash deposition. Foraminifera analysis also shows a mixture of shallow and deep marine foraminifera in the two deposits. Based on the characteristics of the 2006 tsunami deposits, there are at least four identified paleotsunami deposits at Karapyak Beach, Pangandaran area.

Mapping of IOC-UNESCO Tsunami Ready Indicators in the Pangandaran Village, Indonesia

Pangandaran Village is a tourist village located in Pangandaran Regency, West Java Province, Indonesia. The beautiful view of sand beaches and abundant marine resources make Pangandaran Village has great economic potential. However, in 2006, an earthquake with a magnitude of 7.7 Mw triggered a tsunami disaster in the Pangandaran area that caused more than 600 fatalities, injuries, and damage to buildings, especially in Pangandaran Village. Based on current research, there is potential for an 8.7 magnitude earthquake off the south coast of Java in the near future, triggering an enormous tsunami. The coastal community in Pangandaran Regency has been building a tsunami risk reduction strategy to anticipate the tsunami disaster. In Pangandaran Village, the local community is piloting the 12 tsunami ready indicators following the guideline from UNESCO-IOC. Therefore, this study aims to map 12 tsunami ready IOC-UNESCO indicators in Pangandaran Village to evaluate which indicators the government and community of Pangandaran Village. The method used in mapping 12 tsunami ready indicators in Pangandaran Village is to take data in the field by doing aerial photographs, conducting interviews with the village government and other related local stakeholders, mapping tsunami evacuation plan and infrastructure, and disseminating questionnaires to the community to find out the response to the tsunami disaster. Based on the IOC-UNESCO tsunami indicator mapping results, all indicators have been fulfilled. However, several other aspects of tsunami preparedness indicators still need to be improved to strengthen tsunami preparedness in Pangandaran.

PUMMA (Perangkat Ukur Murah untuk Muka Air) performance for water level monitoring of mangrove ecosystem in Pangandaran

PUMMA is a real-time tide gauge that has been operating in several locations in Indonesia. One of them was installed in a mangrove area of Pangandaran that supports both the fisheries and tourism sectors. Tidal dynamics is one of the factors that can affect fish abundance in the mangrove ecosystem. PUMMA Pangandaran monitors the water levels of the mangrove ecosystem in real-time 24/7 and produces CCTV images. This paper aims to analyze the performance of the PUMMA in Pangandaran based on data from water level measurements and image quality from CCTV. The results show that the tidal range in the waters of the mangrove ecosystem in Pangandaran is 1.3 m, with the maximum and minimum high tides being 0.79 m and -0.53 m. The tidal type in the mangrove ecosystem in Pangandaran is semidiurnal and affected by geometry of the estuary. The water level in the mangrove area was influenced by sediments that form a sandbar at the mouth of the Ciputrapinggan River, which controls the fluxes of seawater. There is a data gap of 368 hours during the operation period of PUMMA, and mostly due to technical problems that often occurred at the beginning of the installation. However, after March and April, its performance was improved with only three hours data gap. For the quality of CCTV images, good quality contributed to about 76.67% and only 5.06% on bad quality. Overall, PUMMA’s performance showed excellent reliability in monitoring the water levels and the conditions of the mangrove ecosystem.

Analisis Potensi Ekspor Produk Ikan Asin Jambal Roti di Kabupaten Pangandaran

Pangandaran is the most potential tourism area in West Java. The local government also has plans to develop the Pangandaran area into a world-class tourist destination. An alternative approach taken in developing the Pangandaran area is the concept of community entrepreneurship-based development. This is focused on the catch of fishermen that have high value, one of which is jambal fish. Jambal fish itself can be processed by curing, some are vegetables with yellow coconut milk, pindang gombrang, and some are made of salted fish. There is so much production of salted jambal roti fish that many cannot sell well. A marketing strategy is needed by exporting jambal roti salted fish to several Asian countries. The purpose of this research is to identify the extent of export activities carried out on some of the salted fish jambal roti businessmen in Pangandaran Regency and what is the impact on the welfare of local residents. The result of this research is the export potential of salted jambal roti fish which has become a culinary icon that can be applied in the Pangandaran Regency area.

Major diseases of dragon fruit (Hylocereus spp.) in coastal area of Pangandaran, West Java, Indonesia

Pangandaran regency, a region located on the southern coast of West Java, Indonesia, has the potential to be developed as a centre for dragon fruit production. Dragon fruit farming has begun in this area but is currently experiencing some disease problems. Several diseases have been reported in dragon fruit in Indonesia, to mention some of them are stem canker and stem rot diseases. The purpose of this study was to examine the incidence of disease and to identify the main causal agents of dragon fruit disease that appeared in Pangandaran regency. Field observations showed that the incidence of the disease reached up to 100% of the sample plants, while the severity of the disease was actually high which occurred in stem canker and anthracnose caused by Neoscytalidium dimidiatum and Colletotrichum gloeosporioides reaching more than 50%. Other significant diseases found in the plantation were stem necrosis (Curvularia lunata), scab (Pestalotiopsis sp.) and soft rot (Bacteria X). Because there is no comprehensive review available, this study will provide information about dragon fruit diseases that will benefit further studies on dragon fruit disease management and the development of agro-tourism programs in the research area.

Model Development of A Synergistic Sustainable Marine Ecotourism—A Case Study in Pangandaran Region, West Java Province, Indonesia

Coastal areas in the South Coast of West Java Province, Indonesia, have potential to develop marine ecotourism. One specific case is the Pangandaran area which must be transferred into economic value by not damaging natural resources. Marine ecotourism development is not only intended to raise foreign exchange for the local government, but is also expected to play a role in maintaining natural resources sustainably. This research aims to analyze the sustainable synergistic marine ecotourism development model. The method used in this research is the quantitative descriptive method. The quantitative descriptive method is used to describe the general condition of the research area, using primary and secondary data. The technique includes the taking of respondents using accidental sampling as many as 50 respondents, consisting of tourists, public figures, and fishermen who have side jobs as providers of marine ecotourism services. The analysis is carried out through the Rapfish modeling approach to measure the synergistic elements of sustainable development of marine ecotourism. Based on the results of the research the ecological dimension of environmental services are the most influential conditions, the economic dimension of marine ecotourism is a less influential condition. Meanwhile, marine ecotourism technology and the social dimension of marine ecotourism are least influential conditions. In regard to infrastructure and regulatory dimensions, the use of information technology is recommended to promote marine ecotourism optimally. It is also concluded that regulations are needed to establish marine ecotourism zoning rules and infrastructure improvements.

Souvenirs, Shells, and the Illegal Wildlife Trade

Shells are often seen as portable souvenirs, and both domestic and international tourists bring shells home. While part of this activity concerns individual tourists collecting a small number of shells on the beach, another part concerns large-scale commercial trade. Each year the Indonesian beach resort of Pangandaran is visited by several million tourists, most from within Indonesia. Here, I focus on the commercial trade in large-sized shells for decorative purposes and, using an anthropological approach, gain insight into the trade in marine mollusk shells of the area. A number of the large-shelled species are rare and over-exploited, and receive different levels of protection. By comparing three pairs of similar species, in which one species is legally protected (i.e., on Indonesia's protected species list) and the other is not, I attempt to gauge how rarity and protection affects trade. Protected species were as openly displayed as non-protected species, and more shops offered the protected than the unprotected species. The Indonesian shell trade involves a complex and organized network of collectors, transporters, middlemen, and sellers. Traders indicated that they purchased shells from middlemen, who obtained them from eastern Indonesia; no shells were collected in the Pangandaran area. The main buyers of these large shells are domestic Indonesian tourists. Pangandaran is a trade hub for shells to meet the demands of an urban consumer market in Java. While protected, there is no social stigma in buying these shells, nor do traders that display them run the risk of prosecution, indicating a lack of support for protective and regulatory measures.

Local knowledge of the traditional fishermen of Pangandaran, West Java, Indonesia, on how to catch fish with arad nets, the species of fish caught, and the determination of the fishing season

Budiyanti D, Iskandar J, Partasasmita R. 2018. Local knowledge of the traditional fishermen of Pangandaran, West Java,Indonesia, on how to catch fish with arad nets, the species of fish caught, and the determination of the fishing season. Pros Sem NasMasy Biodiv Indon 4: 115-121. People who reside in beach area of Pangandaran, West Java, have main livelihood as fishermen. Theyhave source of the household income from the catch of various fishes in the sea. Some equipment has commonly used by fishermen ofPangandaran village to catch fishes in the sea. One of the equipment is ‘jaring arad’ (trawl). The aim of this study to investigatetechniques of applying ‘the jaring arad’ to catch fishes, various fishes caught by ‘the jaring arad; and season time for fishing fishes.Method used in this study was qualitative, while several techniques, including the field observation, participant observation, and semistructuredinterview or deep interview with informants were applied in this study. The results showed that the fishermen of Pangandaranvillage have knowledge and technique using ‘the jaring arad’. It has been recorded 11 fish species have been predominantly caught byfishermen of Pangandaran village by using the jaring arad. Various fish species are classified by the fishermen based on morphological,color, and behavior. The season time of fishing can mainly be divided into two seasons, namely the West Wind Season (angin barat)between January and March, and East Wind Season’ (angin timur) between May and August. The West Wind Season is perceived as notgood for catching fishes due to a lot of rains, big waves, and little fish cough. Unlike in the past, today most fishermen get problems topredict time of the West Wind Season and The East Wind Season that is perceived as good time for catching fishes in the sea due tounpredictable changes of weather and climate.
