Abstract. Siahaya ME, Matius P, Aipassa MI, Rayadin Y, Ruslim Y, Aponno HSES. 2021. Ecotourism development through biodiversity potential identification and community perception in the protected forest on Buano Island, Western Seram, Maluku, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 22: 3179-3191. Forest as part of a large ecosystem has an important meaning and role in supporting living systems. Various great benefits can be obtained from the forests through its functions as a provider of water resources for humans and the environment, the ability of carbon sequestration, oxygen suppliers in the air, global climate regulators, and tourism service providers. The community has important role and participation in ecotourism that are different from other forms of tourism. Perception is a fundamental element that needs to be known before planning several activities that will involve the local community. This study aims to identify the potential of flora and fauna in the protected forest area for tourist attraction and analyze the Buano island community’s (Western Seram District, Maluku Province, Indonesia) perception of ecotourism development activities. The vegetation data were collected using the combination of the path method and the compartmentalized line method. The method used for collecting wildlife data in the field is the line transect method as well as direct and indirect observations. Meanwhile, data related to community perceptions were collected through questionnaires and interviews. The results show that the villages on Buano island have biodiversity and cultural potential that could be developed as ecotourism attractions. In addition, the community’s perception supported that they strongly agree on the development of ecotourism in the villages of Buano island.

The main aim of the current study was to determine the local community perception of the causes and effects of the deforestation of Kaptagat Forest. Descriptive research design was used to determine the causes of deforestation, extent of deforestation, the socio economic impacts, and the measures that have been put in place to control and stop further deforestation. Systematic random sampling was used to administer questionnaires to the target population and results analysed using chi-square tests. The results showed that the respondents differed significantly on the causes of deforestation. of Kaptagat.. Apparently illegal logging, charcoal burning and firewood were identified as the most important drivers of deforestation. Majority of the respondents felt that the forest has been highly deforested. The majority felt that reduction in water volumes in streams, changes in rainfall patterns, increased soil erosion and siltation were making the community worse off socioeconomically. Furthermore, the community felt that there was a strong relationship between the level of poverty and the level of deforestation of Kaptagat Forest, thus revealing an understanding of the tripartite relationship between development, environment and conservation of the forest. In addition, the informants pointed out the need for increased local community involvement in conservation of the forest through strengthening of CFAs, creating more conservation awareness and encouraging sustainable use of forest resources.

O turismo em Unidades de Conservação (UCs) cresceu substancialmente na última década e reveste-se de um caráter positivo, quando planejado e administrado em bases sustentáveis; por outro lado, os impactos podem ser potencializados na ausência de ações de monitoramento e organização da atividade. Em tal quadro, emerge a necessidade de entender como o turismo se desenvolve em UCs para avaliar a situação atual da visitação turística, e propor medidas preventivas e corretivas para ajustar o curso de desenvolvimento turístico local. Desta forma, este artigo analisou o desenvolvimento turístico na UC de Uso Sustentável APA do Delta do Parnaíba (PI), com base nos aspectos ambientais e turísticos dos Ambientes Interno (AI) e Externo (AE). Como metodologia, empreendeu-se a aplicação de entrevistas estruturadas com os visitantes, gestora local da UC, prestadores de serviços turísticos e comunidade local, e posteriormente tais dados foram analisados com base na Análise SWOT. Com isso, os resultados revelaram que o quadro atual de desenvolvimento turístico na referida UC é caracterizado pelo aumento crescente de visitantes e ausência de ações de monitoramento e controle dos impactos do turismo. Em vista disso, sugere-se a adoção de um programa de administração dos impactos da visitação na UC, pelo órgão gestor, capacitação dos prestadores de serviços turísticos para potencializar o turismo em bases sustentáveis e a sensibilização das comunidades locais sobre os problemas que afetam o turismo na localidade.

Abstract The richness of marine biota associated with seagrass has many economic values and has been used by the community as a source of livelihoods such as fish, mollusks, bivalves, crustaceans, and echinoderms. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the contribution of seagrass and its surrounding environment as a source of livelihood for local communities in the study area. This research method uses observation, interviews, questionnaires, and in-depth discussions. Furthermore, the number of samples was determined by purposive sampling, 265 fishers, 128 local non-fishermen, and 125 tourism service providers. The analysis of the average income of respondents (fishermen) based on animal groups obtained from seagrass and surrounding areas is U$16167.5. Meanwhile, the average income of respondents (local non-fishermen) from seagrass areas, especially housewives, is US$3401.63/season (full moon and dead moon) at low tide. Furthermore, the average income of respondents from providers of tourist services (especially for snorkeling, diving, swimming, and transportation services) is U$19353.85/month.

Community-based tourism development in rural tourist destinations is hindered by the complex interplay of power struggles between the State, hoteliers, travel agents, local tourism players, host community and activists. Following Bourdieu’s ‘epistemologically reflexive’ sociology of everyday life, including his concepts of ‘capital’, ‘habitus’ and ‘field’, I examine the power relations between the Indian State, the regional government, the armed forces, private urban hoteliers and travel agencies, religious corporations, local tourism service providers (e.g. the ponymen and taxi operators) and the host communities operating at the tourism destination of Pahalgam in the Himalayan territory of the Indian-administered Kashmir. Drawing on ethnographic material collected during June–September 2017 and October 2018, I analyse the power relations in the context of a growing political conflict in the region. The central question this article addresses is how and to what extent these actors, particularly the Indian State, engage in contestations for dominance, insurrection and subversion over Pahalgam tourist destination. Theorising the embodiment of ponywālā1 habitus, I demonstrate that ‘subaltern’ dispositions of the ponymen and their corresponding tourism practices of offering pony rides to tourists and pilgrims create boundaries within the destination ‘field’ of Pahalgam. Subsequently, I aim to show that such dispositions cultivate internalised beliefs or doxa among local community players, thus limiting their access to capitals (economic, social, cultural and symbolic) and ensuring the (re)production of their dominated position in the destination field of Pahalgam.

Diamond Beach is located at Pelilit Village, Pejukutan Village, Nusa Penida District. This tourist attraction was developed since 2014. Even though it have been developed since five years ago, there is still bad perception from local community about the components at Diamond Beach, in specific about amenity, accessibility, and human resource. Those local community perception contrasts with the perception of tourists that visited Diamond Beach, which they have good perception of all destination components in Diamond Beach. This research used qualitative descriptive approach that concerned about the perception of tourist and local community towards destination component at Diamond Beach. All perceptions and collected data using triangulation were used to identify internal and external environment condition at Diamond Beach. Result of internal and external factor analysis at Diamond Beach were both in medium condition. Then, the proper grand strategy to be applied in next level is keeping up and maintaining without changing the strategy that has been used before. This grand strategy is stressing more about product and service development, also market penetration. Keywords: perception, development strategy, tourist attraction
