Memorable Tourism Experience (MTE) pada Wisatawan di Perkemahan Waduk Sermo

Camping has recently gained popularity among tourists. However, research on camping in the Indonesian tourism setting needs to be more extensive, particularly experiential. Sermo Reservoir is a popular camping destination in Kulon Progo Regency, Special Region of Yogyakarta. This study aims to assess tourists’ camping experiences at Sermo Reservoir using Kim et al.’s (2012) Memorable Tourism Experience (MTE) scale. The study included 106 participants recruited through direct surveys of campers who had spent at least one night at Sermo Reservoir in June 2023. A reliability test was performed to determine the internal consistency of the translated scale across all samples. Descriptive quantitative analysis was also performed to determine the level of agreement among Sermo Reservoir camping tourists on each item and dimension of the MTE. The findings revealed that Sermo Reservoir camping tourists agreed on all MTE dimensions at a high to very high level. The characteristics of hedonism and refreshment received a “very high” level of agreement, followed by local culture, novelty, participation, meaningfulness, and knowledge in the “high” agreement category. The study limitations include the adaptation of the scale, which needs to be addressed and investigated further in the local context, and the inclusion of limited acceptance response alternatives. Additional limitations include the short research time, sample procedures, and data collecting, which prevent it from representing MTE in a larger population context.

A spatiotemporal prediction model for light pollution in conservation areas using remote sensing datasets

Artificial Light at Night (ALAN) significantly threatens protected areas from urbanization. As urbanization continues to grow, there is a need for forecasting future light pollution and ALAN for the protected areas in Indonesia. This study proposes a four-step computational model for forecasting spatial–temporal light pollution in nine protected areas in Indonesia via spatiotemporal modeling and linear models. The four steps for predicting spatial–temporal light pollution are (i) data collection, (ii) data pre-processing, (iii) model and prediction of population, and (iv) model and prediction of light pollution. Two critical data must be provided: population data from the review area and light pollution data generated by the Earth Observations Group (EOG) at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)/National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI). We are using nine conservation areas in Indonesia, including the Kuningan Botanical Gardens, Bosscha Observatory, Timau Kupang National Observatory, Sermo Reservoir, Mount Batur Geopark, Sewu Mountains Geopark, Mount Rinjani Geopark, Lake Toba Geopark, and Belitong Geopark. The developed model involves a linear model to predict ALAN with spatial–temporal modeling. We present long-term predictions for the next 20 years.

3D Topography Modeling from Integrating Bathymetric and Aerial Imagery for Sermo Reservoir Monitoring

Reservoir monitoring is important in maintaining water retention and controlling volume changes as well as sedimentation rates. Reservoir monitoring usually uses conventional means such as recording the pole leveling height at a certain time, using large ships with the sounding method and determining the position and depth by utilizing total stations with intersection method measurements. However, such conventional methods require a lot of manpower, a significant period of time, a lot of equipment, and, more often than not, yielding in results that cannot be used to depict the real condition of the corresponding reservoir. This paper uses bathymetric and aerial photographic data to construct land and water topography, the state of the reservoir, and a 3D model of the reservoir, which later can be used as the basis for volume and sedimentation analyses. An effective way of merging the aforementioned data is by utilizing point cloud data generated from bathymetric surveys and UAVs. The point cloud data was then used as the basic material for creating DEM, land, and water contours. The bathymetric data quality test results meet the SNI 7647:2010 standard tolerance with a 1.96*standard deviation of 0.191. It passes the SNI 8202:2015 photo quality test with CE90/LE90 values of 0.325 and 0.285, respectively. Merging bathymetric and aerial photographic data in the regular reservoir monitoring or shallow waters is proven to be a more efficient, effective, and optimum method compared to the existing conventional means.

Best management practices for erosion and sedimentation control of The Sermo Watershed

Erosion and sedimentation problems caused by human activities disturbed the primary conditions of the watershed. This situation was also influenced by significant hydrometeorological shifts and high rainfall, which increased soil erosion. These inclement watershed conditions resulted in high sedimentation rates and caused severe problems for the quality and quantity of water in the reservoir. This study aims to solve the Sermo watershed problems by calculating the value of erosion and sedimentation, then providing a solution to deal with these problems in the form of Best Management Practices (BMP). This research used a USLE method to calculate the erosion and sedimentation rate. The calculation results showed that 40.86% of Sermo Reservoir within 809.12 hectares was classified as a high level of erosion. Further recommendations for overcoming this condition were made by referring to BMP for erosion and sediment control, including structures and soil water conservation. Further recommendations to address this condition were made regarding BMP for controlling water, maintaining soil stability, controlling sedimentation, and managing and maintaining optimal watersheds.

The Analysis of Dry Weather Aerial Photography in Sermo Kulonprogo Reservoir using DJI Spark Drone

Drones are a very important medium in the world of aerial photography to map military operations, agricultural areas, plantations, mining, urban planning, disaster mitigation, and outreach to remote areas and two types have been identified which are the winged and quadcopter. This research was conducted to map the drought-prone areas during the dry season in the Sermo Reservoir area, Kokap, Kulon Progo Regency between 14-15 August 2019. This involved the use of the DJI Spark quadcopter due to its more stability and wind resistance. The process involved connecting the DJI Spark drone remote controller to a smartphone, opening of DJI Go application, DJI Spark drone activation, smartphone installation on the remote controller holder, propeller installation, GPS settings in a locked position, drone flight and position adjustment, and capturing of the images on the smartphone screen. The results showed the water flow of the Sermo Reservoir has decreased by approximately 4 meters due to the dry season. This was evident in the changes from its original position of136.6 meters above sea level to 132.6 meters and this limits the quantity of water available to irrigate rice fields. The reservoir still has the capability to supply 800 liters per second in Pengasih District but the results of the aerial photographs showed the existence of drought and a decrease in the water discharge.

Optimal design of the Sermo Fault deformation monitoring network using sensitivity criteria based on geological information

The Sermo Reservoir is located in Kulon Progo District, Special Region of Yogyakarta, Indonesia. It plays a vital role in providing water to its surrounding communities. According to the geological structure of this area, a fault exists near the Ngrancah River and passes through the reservoir’s inundation. At present, a network consists of 15 Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) monitoring stations spread around the Sermo Fault to monitor its deformation. However, this network was designed without consideration of geological parameters. This study aimed to design an optimal deformation monitoring network of the Sermo Fault by taking into account geological information and evaluate the existing network, specifically, the optimal distance for the station to the fault plane. Geological surveys were carried out to obtain information regarding the type and characteristics of the fault. This information was used as one of the parameters in the optimization design, using sensitivity criteria, of a network to monitor for the optimal distance between the observation station and fault. Using the strike-slip fault model, the optimal distance obtained was from 4.5 to 8.5 km from the fault plane. The existing stations of the Sermo Fault deformation monitoring network are about 0.07–3.3 km away from the fault. Therefore, the network is insufficiently sensitive and needs to be developed by adding stations that are more than 4.5 km away from the fault. This study designed an alternative network by rearranging the stations’ location to obtain a better configuration and sensitivity.

Analisa rezim sedimentasi waduk studi kasus: waduk kedungombo dan waduk sermo

The Kedungombo and the Sermo Reservoirs have problems in fulfilling basic services because of sedimentation. Sedimentation that occurs in each of the reservoirs would form a specific reservoir sedimentation pattern that is supposed to be similar because the hydrology and physiography conditions of the reservoir's catchment area are similar. This study aims to determine the dynamics of sedimentation patterns that occur in the dead storage for reviewing the characteristics/sedimentation regime of the two reservoirs. The analysis was carried out by processing bathymetrical data which were processed into a digital terrain model (DTM) using ArcGIS. Furthermore, the storage volume, sedimentation volume, storage percentage, and specific reservoir sedimentation rate are calculated. The results showed that the two reservoirs showed an increase in sedimentation volume each year so that the reservoir characteristic curve shifted from the plan graph. The dead storage capacity of Kedungombo Reservoir is 100% in 1989 to 43% in 2016 and 100% of Sermo Reservoir in 1997 to 58% in 2011. The specific reservoir sedimentation rate, i.e. 0.0031 and 0.0042 million m3/year/km2 for the Kedungombo Reservoir (between 1989 and 2016) and the Sermo Reservoir (between 1997 and 2011) respectively, indicating that the two reservoirs are in the same regime

Morphological and molecular characters of Cherax quadricarinatus (von Martens, 1868) from Sermo Reservoir and Tambakboyo Retention Basin, Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta, Indonesia

The Australian red claw freshwater crayfish, Cherax quadricarinatus is one of the most widely distributed and cultivated freshwater crayfish due to its high tolerance towards various environmental conditions. Native to North Australia and South Papua New Guinea, this crayfish was found in Tambakboyo Retention Basin in 2016 and Sermo Reservoir in 2019. This research was aimed to identify the morphological and molecular characters of C. quadricarinatus collected from Sermo Reservoir and Tambakboyo Retention Basin, Yogyakarta. The genetic information of the samples was compared to Australian red claw freshwater crayfish currently available. The methodology used for this research are morphological, morphometrical, meristic identification, and molecular identification using the PCR method. The primer used to be 1471 primers as the forward primer and 1472 primers as the reverse primer. In conclusion, all six specimens obtained were identified to be C. quadricarinatus. Morphological analysis using UPGMA showed that all specimens were formed one big cluster and has the highest similarity index (1.00). Molecular analysis using BLAST showed that specimen from Sermo Reservoir was 98.96% identical to C. quadricarinatus and specimen from Tambakboyo Retention Basin was 100% identical to C. quadricarinatus. Thus concluding that based on their morphological and molecular character, all samples of this study were C. quadricarinatus. This finding also contributes to the distribution information of C. quadricarinatus in Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta

The Potential of Community-Based Nomadic Tourism Development: Insight from Three Case Study in Yogyakarta

Since February 2015, the government has provided tourism as a leading sector in development. It is, however, that this premise needs to be reviewed. As one of the popular destinations in Indonesia, after Bali, Yogyakarta is still dealing with acute poverty problems with an 11,7% poverty rate and disparity index of 0,423 (Gini ratio) by March 2019. This situation showed that tourism has not contributed to its vital role in empowering the community. The primary problem is concerning the lack of participation based-community in developing and managing tourism. Regarding that problem, community-based tourism is present as an alternative tourism model because it is concerned with optimizing local potentiality and local community empowerment. Meanwhile, some aspects, including access, amenities, and attractions, are essential in tourism development. In line with issues, the acceleration of digital technology has encouraged nomad workers and experience-based tourism attraction—both elements then actualized in nomadic tourism. According to the case study method, this research has investigated the potentiality of the nomadic tourism model in the Special Region of Yogyakarta: Bukit Kosakora (Kosakara Hill) in Gunung Kidul, Taman Bambu Air (Water Bamboo Park) in Sermo Reservoir, Kulonprogo, and Bukit Lintang Sewu (Thousand Stars Hill) in the Mangunan, Bantul, Yogyakarta. The three places are potentially pioneers of nomadic tourism in Yogyakarta. The research results highlight that all of these places have amenities, attraction, and access as opportunities to be nomadic tourism. However, they have implemented the basic principles of community-based tourism, but the realization is not yet fully optimal because of the matter in the institutional context.

Fish community structure in Sermo Reservoir, Yogyakarta, Indonesia: Initial study on invasive fish species

Invasive species are becoming issues in freshwater ecosystems throughout the world including Indonesia. Sermo Reservoir is located in Yogyakarta, Centra Java, was indicated to have invasive species identified as Cichlidae family. The study aimed to assess fish communities’ structure and identified invasive fish in Sermo Reservoir. The research was conducted in Sermo Reservoirs, Yogyakarta, Indonesia on March-October 2019. In total, about 3,084 individuals of 10 fish species belonging to 3 families and 8 genera were captured using a experimental gillnets (mesh size 0.75; 1; 1.5; 2; 2.5; 3 inch) at five stations. The fish community in Sermo Reservoir was dominated by Cichlid fish (98.66%). Red devil (Amphilophus labiatus) and Midas cichlid (A. citrinellus) were dominant species founded in Sermo Reservoir (58.82% and 37.00%, respectively). Another species of cichlid that caught consist of nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), mozambique tilapia (O. mossambicus), and jaguar cichlid (Parachromis managuensis). The study showed that Amphilophus spp. have high dispersal (One-way ANOSIM revealed Amphilophus spp. was not significantly different for spatio-temporal (p>0.05)). SIMPER analysis (p < 0.05) showed that A. citrinellus and A. labiatus had spread throughout the waters and were concentrated in Tegiri station which had more littoral zones.

Lineament Trend Analysis for Designing of Fault Deformation Monitoring Network in the Sermo Reservoir Area, Yogyakarta, Indonesia

The Sermo Reservoir plays a vital role in the livelihood of the surrounding community. However, based on the geological map, a fault crosses the reservoir and possibly through the dam body. Therefore, disaster needs to be mitigated by monitoring the deformation of both the fault and the dam body. Deformation monitoring network design needs to consider the accuracy, reliability, and sensitivity in detecting and measuring any displacement. Geological conditions affect the sensitivity of the network. This research aims to analyze the geological structure based on the lineament interpretation of the deformation monitoring network design of the fault. The study was conducted by interpreting lineaments using the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission Digital Elevation Model (SRTM DEM) image with 30 m resolution and then representing the lineament patterns with a rose diagram. The lineament analysis was related to the rock formation of areas surrounding the Sermo Reservoir. Furthermore, the deformation monitoring network will be designed considering the geological phenomenon resulting from lineament analysis and other factors used in previous research, such as the distance and direction of the control point from the fault. From the lineament analysis, initial information showed that the fault was estimated in the direction of northwest-southeast and may be active. Deformation monitoring stations should be established along the fault plane, in both the right and left sides, and within various distances. The stations should be evenly distributed to cover the areas around the reservoir, the area outside the reservoir but still within the fault area, and the area outside the reservoir and the fault. The distribution of the stations should also form a transverse baseline to the fault.

Estimasi Volume Sedimentasi Waduk Sermo Menggunakan Metode RUSLE, Batimetri dan Angkutan Sedimen

Sermo Reservoir is a reservoir which was built by Indonesian Government and supported by Asian Development Bank in program Integrated Irrigation Sector Project (IISP) in 1996. Sermo Reservoir functions as a flood control, raw water source and irrigation. Changes that occur to water catchment area of the Sermo Reservoir affects its condition. Especially changes that occur in aspects of water runoff, sediment production and watershed deposition of watershed aspects which are caused by erosion in water catchment area resulting in sedimentation. Long term sedimentation causes a decrease in reservoir capacity. To overcome this problem it is necessary to estimate the sedimentation volume to determine the latest condition of the Sermo Reservoir. In this activity, volume estimation of sedimentation was conducted using RUSLE, bathymetry and sediment transport methods. The data used in this activity are the data in 2016, 2017 and 2018. In this activity, the analysis of the RUSLE method in the Ngrancah Watershed includes the factors of rainfall erosivity, soil erodibility, length and slope and land cover and preservation. In addition to RUSLE, an analysis was carried out using the bathymetry method. This method calculates sedimentation based on reservoir baseline DTM data of 2017 and 2018. From the difference between both DTM epochs, obtained sediment volume and spread of Sermo Reservoir. Besides, analysis of the sediment transport method was conducted using water soil content data of 2016 which is assumed static until 2018. While analyzing with RUSLE, bathymetry and sediment transport methods using ArcGIS Software. The results of volume estimation of sedimentation using RUSLE, sediment transport and bathymetry consecutively yields 184.158,580 m3/year, 163.151,173 m3/year and 149.959,800 m3/year. Thus the estimation results of sediment thickness velocity of Sermo Reservoir using RUSLE, bathymetry and sediment transport are 8,687 mm/year, 7,790 mm/year and 7,074 mm/year. Generated volume from the methods was tested by using precision test yielding RSD 8,407 % thus classified as low accuracy. From the precision test can be concluded that sediment transport was the most precise because it has a percentage difference of -0,766 % of the average sediment volume.

Length-Weight Relationship, Condition Factor and Otolith shape of Marble Goby (Oxyeleotris marmorata) at Sermo Reservoir, Yogyakarta

This research aimed to know the length-weight relationship, condition factor, and otolith shape of marble goby (Oxyeleotris marmorata Blkr.) at Sermo Reservoir Yogyakarta. In total 211 samples (95 males and 116 females) were collected using gillnet and folded trap (bubu). Each sample was observed for sex determination, and then measured its total length, body weight, and otoliths diameter. The data were analyzed to determine the length and weight distribution, length-weight relationship, condition factor, and length-otolith diameter relationship. The result showed that the total length of the male was ranged 12.0-38.2 cm and female was ranged 12.2-44.5 cm. The weight of the male was ranged 21.0-704.8 g and female was ranged 21.1-1593.7 g. Both male and female have positive allometric growth with the equation W=0.0056L3.2894 for male and W=0.0051L3.311 for female. Condition factor was ranged 0.787-1.313 for male and 0.800-1.379 for female, and the majority of fish has a good condition (Kn ≥0.95 more than 50%). The shape of otolith edge was sinuate surrounded with regular wave-like curves, the diameter was increased in line with increasing of total body length by an equation of Y=0.2335+0.0248X (r=0.938).

The Effect of Baseline Component Correlation on the Design of GNSS Network Configuration for Sermo Reservoir Deformation Monitoring

The condition of the geological structure in the surrounding Sermo reservoir shows that there is a fault crossing the reservoir. Deformation monitoring of that fault has been carried out by conducting GNSS campaigns at 15 monitoring stations simultaneously. However, those campaigns were not well designed. With such a design, it took many instruments and spent much money. For the next GNSS campaign, it should be designed so that the optimal network configuration is obtained and the cost can be reduced. In the design of deformation monitoring network, sensitivity criteria become very important for detecting the deformations. In GNSS relative positioning, the baseline components are correlated, but this correlation is often ignored. This research examined the effect of baseline component correlations on the design results of the GNSS configuration of the Sermo Fault network based on sensitivity criterion. In this case, the western side of the fault was taken as a reference, while the other side as an object moving relatively against the western side. This study found that the baseline component correlation affects the results of GNSS network configuration. Considering the correlation could result a sensitive network configuration with a fewer baseline; therefore, the cost and time of field surveys can be reduced. It can be said that the baseline component correlation needs to be taken into account in the configuration design of deformation monitoring network.

Pemetaan Erodibilitas Tanah Dan Korelasinya Terhadap Karakteristik Tanah Di Das Serang, Kulonprogo

Soil erosion was happened caused by many factors, such as rainfall intensity, soil erodbility, steepness and length of slope, land cover, and conservation practices. In other case, the soil properties also influence the vulnerability of soil to be detached. This soil properties characteristics is classified as soil erodibility. Erodibility factor (K) from the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) in this study was the result of soil erodibility estimation or soil capability to be dispersed by rain. K factor was affected by soil organic, soil permeability, soil structures, and soil textures. This study was contributed in Serang Watershed because of the main fuction of this watershed to supply water resources especially in Sermo Reservoir in Ngrancah Subwatershed. This reservoir was used to distribute water and irrigation to all Kulonprogo District and especially to keep the sustainability of sedimentation of soastal area di Glagah Beach. All of soil properties was collected in each landform of Serang Watershed and was analyzed by laboratory measurement. By using K factor formula, the K value can be estimated. Geographic Information System (GIS) tools were used to map and represent the spatial information of soil erodibility of Serang Watershed. The result of this study showed that the high value of K factor was distributed in the area which has genesis of structural, denudated structural, and sedimented denudational. Furthermore, this study can be strived to analyze soil erosion hazard which was influenced by soil erodibility.

Correlation of GNSS Observation Data Quality Resulted from TEQC Checking and Coordinate’s Precision

GPS Positioning provides good coordinate accuracy that is up to a millimeter. However, some error sources such as multipath, atmospheric conditions and obstruction can reduce the quality of data and also coordinates. To minimize errors due to these factors, at the time of determining the station location, it is necessary to pay attention to the surrounding conditions, namely by looking for open areas and avoiding objects that can reflect GNSS signals. However, it is often not easy to find the ideal observation station location, which forms a good chain while being free from obstruction and multipath. Therefore, it is often necessary to prioritize certain factors over other factors. Information about the correlation between multipath, ionospheric conditions and the recording level of observational data on coordinate accuracy can be used as consideration in determining the location of control points for deformation monitoring and determining which factors are prioritized. This study aims to evaluate the correlation between data quality and coordinates precision.The used observation data are Sermo Reservoir control network and nine CORS BIG stations. The component data analyzed are multipath (MP1, MP2), ionospheric effects (IOD slips and IOD or MP slips) and the data recording level (obs). These components were resulted by checking with TEQC software, while the precision of the coordinates was obtained by processing with GAMIT / GLOBK software. Based on the correlation coefficient value, it is known that the recording level of observation data has the strongest correlation with a negative direction (ranging from -0.7 to -0.9). It is the ratio between the number of real observations to the number of possible ones. One factor that influences it is the obstruction in the field. In other words, in determining the location of GNSS observation stations, the conditions of obstruction in the vicinity need to be considered and prioritized.

Food preference of red devil (Amphilophus labiatus) in the Sermo Reservoir, Kulon Progo Regency

Food preference is one of the important information that can be used to know the food chain in order to manage fisheries resources. This study aims to determine the food habits and preference of red devil (Amphilophus labiatus) in the Sermo Reservoir, Kulon Progo Regency. Samples were collected randomly each month from September 2013 to February 2014. Each sample collected was measured its total length, body weight, and determined sex, then dissected to measure the gut length and to observe gut contents. Results showed that red devil is omnivorous (relative gut length = 3.83) with food composition consisted of fish, crustaceans, detritus, phytoplankton, zooplankton, plants, insects, insect’s larvae, Chironomus sp., and annelids. A change occurred in the food preference of red devil, i.e. the young fish prefers to feed Chironomus sp. larvae (86.02 %) whereas the adult fish prefers fish/fish chunk (81.82 %). Trophic level status of red devil showed as carnivorous and niche overlapping between male and female of the adult.
