SWOT Analysis (SWOT Analysis) includes efforts to identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats that determine company performance. External information about opportunities and threats can be obtained from many sources, including colleagues at other companies. According to (Rangkuti 2004) explains that SWOT analysis is the systematic identification of various factors to formulate a company strategy. This analysis is based on logic that can maximize strengths and opportunities, but simultaneously minimize weaknesses and threats. The strategic decision making process is always related to the development of the company's mission, goals, strategies and policies. Therefore, strategic planning must analyze the company's strategic factors (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats) in current conditions. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach, as a scientific method often used by a group of researchers in the fields of social sciences and education. Qualitative research aims to gain knowledge through understanding and discovery. In qualitative research, the researcher is the key instrument, therefore the researcher must have theoretical provisions and broad insight so that he can ask questions, analyze and construct the object being studied more clearly. Based on the results of the processed data, the Grandfather Bodo Waterfall Tourism has a strength value of 3.58 which is very high compared to a weakness value of 2.53 and an opportunity value of 3.28 which is very high compared to a threat value of 2.89.

The impact of Artificial Light at Night (ALAN) on biodiversity: flora and fauna at Kebun Raya Bogor

Background: Artificial light at night (ALAN) poses significant ecological challenges by altering the natural light environment. Plants and animals have evolved to depend on natural light cycles for their physiological and behavioral processes. This study investigates the impact of ALAN on the biodiversity of flora and fauna at Kebun Raya Bogor (KRB), a key site for understanding these effects. Methods: This research employs a literature review approach to analyze the effects of ALAN on flora and fauna. By examining existing studies and data, the review focuses on changes in plant physiology, including photosynthesis and growth patterns, as well as alterations in animal behavior, such as foraging, mating, and migration. The review synthesizes findings from various sources to assess the impact of ALAN on biodiversity at KRB. Results: Findings indicate that ALAN disrupts plant photosynthesis and growth, particularly affecting deciduous trees and altering reproductive and growth patterns. For fauna, ALAN significantly impacts the behavior of nocturnal species such as bats and birds, affecting their feeding, mating, and migratory patterns. The disruption in natural light cycles due to ALAN leads to ecological imbalances and may compromise the biodiversity of KRB
