    Vandalism and environmental degradation pose challenges in natural recreation areas, prompting the need for interventions to promote environmental consciousness and nature appreciation. This study investigates the role of knowledge and perceived value in enhancing ecological experiences. A five-point Likert scale survey was distributed to 235 visitors at Djuanda Forest Park in Bandung, Indonesia. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM-PLS) was employed to analyze direct and indirect influences. The results demonstrate that enhancing ecological perceived value positively impacts visitors' interactions with nature. Moreover, increased actual knowledge regarding environmental degradation enhances the perceived value of outdoor recreation in natural settings. These findings highlight the importance of developing educational programs in natural recreation areas to support sustainable environmental practices

    Ir. H. Djuanda Forest Park, is a natural tourism destination located in Bandung, West Java and in low land parts of Gunung Pulosari, passed by Cikapundung river stream. This research aimed to recommend the appropriate tourism planning to be implemented in the Ir. H. Djuanda Forest Park. Through landscape hazard analysis within slope gradient and soil element contained, we developed landscape sensitivity map. The result shows that 65,508% from the total area is a high sensitivity land. Beside that, only 4,335% from the total area is a low sensitivity lands and can be explored for active tourism attraction. The visual preference analysis was held to identify the potential attractiveness of many tourisms object in this area. The high potential object is dominanated with natural landscape objects and man-made object is the less potential. Almost all of the potential objects are located in high sensitivity land. Unfortunately, the uninterested object with unclear function is located in low sensitivity land which it is suitable for intensive recreation activities. The planner of this area should consider the role of limited activities and facilities development in low caring capacity land. For conservation purpose, planting endemic vegetation in sensitive landslide land should be carried out in order to maintain forest sustainability.Ir. H.

    The impact of access policies on the influx of ignorant behavior in conservation areas is still understudied.  This research aims to detect this ignorant tourist behavior in the conservation areas by analyzing perceived accessibility and examining the tourist typologies. The study was conducted in Komodo National Park, one of the most popular destinations in Indonesia, which has experienced high accessibility development. The research method employed tourism policy and factor-cluster analysis to examine the tourist typology. Accessibility constructs and hedonic tourist motivation were used as the variables in the analysis. The total respondents were 534, and the data were analyzed using a non-hierarchical K-means cluster analysis. The result showed that three aspects were considered in managing the accessibility in the conservation areas. The aspects included destination, individual, and conservation accessibilities in the national park.  Further, four tourist typologies were found in this research.  Two new typologies, hedonistic adventure tourists and high-risk hedonistic tourists, indicated ignorant behavior. Two others, such as real ecotourists and nature-relaxing tourists, presented general nature-based tourist characteristics in the existing literature.  The managerial implications of this research are providing practical insights for planners and destination managers to improve conservation awareness for remarkably ignorant tourists. &nbsp

    Dengan kemajuan pariwisata yang pesat dan pengembangan wisata melalui aktivitas wisata Lava Tour di Taman Nasional Gunung Merapi (TNGM), manfaat ekonomi telah terwujud melalui peningkatan kunjungan wisatawan. Namun, peningkatan kunjungan  juga berpotensi menimbulkan dampak negatif karena dapat menyebabkan gangguan terhadap sumber daya. Memperhitungkan potensi pariwisata yang dimiliki oleh TNGM dan keterbatasan sumber daya alamnya, diperlukan analisis yang mendalam dengan mempertimbangkan potensi fisik dari kawasan tersebut. Analisis daya dukung pariwisata menjadi suatu keharusan untuk mengidentifikasi sejauh mana kawasan ini dapat menanggung tekanan pariwisata. Penilaian daya dukung dilakukan untuk mengetahui batas maksimum jumlah pengunjung yang berada di area tersebut pada satu waktu. Perhitungan daya dukung pada penelitian menggunakan rumus Cifuentes yang terdiri dari Daya Dukung Fisik/PCC, Daya Dukung Riil/RCC dan Daya Dukung Efektif/ECC. Pengumpulan data melalui dokumentasi foto, wawancara, dan studi literatur. Hasil Perhitungan daya dukung wisata dengan aktivitas wisata Lava Tour memperoleh PCC sebesar 4.340 pengunjung/hari, RCC sebesar 3.181 pengunjung/hari, dan ECC sebesar 882 pengunjung/hari. Nilai daya dukung tersebut jika dibandingkan dengan jumlah wisatawan aktual 1.000-1.500 pengunjung/hari, maka untuk PCC masih dibawah nilai daya dukung fisiknya, sedangkan secara aktual untuk RCC dan ECC telah melampaui batas jumlah kunjungan dalam sehari

    ABSTRACT Patuha Mountain Cluster is a part of South Bandung Region which has beautiful scenery of mountainous forest landscape. The uniqueness and its beauty become the main factors of its popularity as nature based tourism area. But the characteristic of mountainous region make this area stated by the government as preservation area (PP. No.72 th 2010), so the management should has specific program that appropriate for preservation function also for tourism purpose. This research is conducted to develop the visitor management concept of nature based area with preservation function and high visitor intensity. Visitor intensity is the frequent of use and visitor density analysis (Pfluger, Yvone (2004). Quantitative and qualitative methods were used to develop the visitor management model, and also by the spatial analysis to develop the map of preservation area. Visitor intensity was found by using carrying capacity analysis and survey method (questionnaire). The result show that according to spatial and regulation analysis, all of the objects study in Patuha Mountain Cluster are categorized as preservation area. Most of them have medium visitor intensity, and one of it (Kawah Putih forest recreation), which is the most popular one has high visitor intensity. Identification of landscape characteristic and regulation of nature based area are the first step to develop an appropriate model of visitor management. Visitor density and visitor used also become the important factors that influence the environment quality of nature based tourism area. The high visitor intensity could pressure the physical condition of the area so the program of visitor management should implemented structurally. The development of interpretation program and media should be implemented especially to educate visitors to be more care and friendly with the environment. Another visitor management program that could implemented regarding this findings are limiting the accessibility to the main and sensitive attraction, activities decentralization and develop the tourism education program. Keywords : Mountain based tourism, tourism intensity, visitor managemen

    Applying knowledge, social concern and perceived risk in planned behavior theory for tourism in the Covid-19 pandemic

    No full text
    Purpose – The paper aims to examine the effect of physical distancing control on the intention to travel during the pandemic and to assess the influence of knowledge, social concern and perceived risk on the theory of planned behavior (TPB). Design/methodology/approach – A total of 1,068 Indonesian respondents through a purposive sampling approach, filled out online questionnaires during the pandemic. The collected data were analyzed using partial least squares-structural equation modeling. Findings – The results indicated that subjective norm as the external factor of the TPB has a stronger effect than the internal factors; attitude and behavioral control. It appears that in a collectivist society, prohibition enforced by family and friends, as well as the government’s sanctions have a stronger influence on one’s decision to travel. The findings also suggested that knowledge, perceived risks and social concern effect tourists’ behavior. Uncertainty and inadequate knowledge will decrease the level of perceived risk, which leads to lower control in practicing physical distancing and increasing intention to travel during the pandemic. Research limitations/implications – The research has limitations in its use of a convenient sampling method. This method may not represent the whole population, causing the results to be difficult for generalization. There is also the need for extending the TPB model with different variables in the context of tourism and pandemic. This study enriches the existing tourism literature by applying TPB to examine tourists’ behavior during the Covid-19 pandemic, focusing on knowledge, social concern and perceived risk theory. Practical implications – This paper offers useful insights for tourism planners in the government and private destination management levels. It is crucial for a destination management organization to understand the relationship between knowledge, perception and social concern with tourists’ behavior while traveling during pandemics. The understanding of tourist’s behavior when traveling during the pandemic will assist in developing and creating activities and designing health protocols at tourist attractions. Originality/value – This study extended the TPB to analyze tourists behavior during the pandemic by applying knowledge, social concern and perceived risk elements
