Ecotourism is supposed to be culturally respectful and an agent to enhance indigenous values, culture and heritage conservation through ethical and responsible approach of development. Acknowledging its potential benefits, developing countries like Nepal have promoted ecotourism as a benign and alternative strategy to attract foreign capital particularly by showing indigenous culture, heritage and environmental resources to the tourists. However, in reality, ecotourism has also demonstrated its short-comings that have caused severe environmental damage and socio-cultural problems. In this regard, by adopting multiple techniques of data collection such as survey with households, interview with key informants, participant observation and archival study, this paper examines the role of ecotourism in the conservation of local culture and heritage, and explores the perceived socio-cultural impacts of ecotourism development in the Annapurna Sanctuary Trail in Annapurna region. Research Findings reveal that ecotourism has induced both positive and negative consequences on the local culture and social life. On one hand, social facilities and infrastructure such as road, school, health post, drinking water, and tele-communication have been improved in the settlements along the trail. On the other hand, local culture, traditions and architectural heritage have been threatened by the tourism development. The key objective of ecotourism i.e. conservation of local heritage and culture, is not fully achieved, however local people perceived significant benefits in terms of conservation of biodiversity and economic benefits. The lack of control on the construction of private buildings, and no specific attention on the vernacular architecture, and local cultural practices has pushed communities towards crisis of cultural identity. It recommends to the relevant stakeholders, specifically the government, for adopting comprehensive policies of ecotourism development particularly to promote cultural heritage conservation and sustainability in the region.

Tourism development in Indonesia is increasing, as it is beneficial to the the social, cultural, educational, environmental and economic sectors of the country. In maintaining the sustainability of tourism, the government optimizes business in the field of ecotourism. Ecotourism as an environmentally friendly tourism can have a positive impact in the form of economic improvement, conservation, education, environmental preservation and empowerment of local communities. One ecotourism that has always been a magnet for tourists today is the Nature Tourism Park (TWA) Ijen Crater. Ijen Crater is a nature conservation area with diverse natural potential and is used as a nature conservation park. This study discusses the analysis of environmental damage prevention in the Ijen Crater Nature Park. A qualitative descriptive research approach with data collection techniques through primary data and secondary data was applied. The data were analyzed with data collection analysis, reduction, presentation and data verification. The results of this study are the natural potential of Ijen Crater TWA including the Ijen crater lake, blue fire, sulfur mining, vegetation and animals, Paltuding fun trekking, and Bunder cottage. The environmental conditions of tourist objects and attractions in Ijen Crater TWA are still in a good stage because the manager continues to strive to supervise and protect the tourist objects and attractions. The results of the analysis were interpreted by applying literary research of two regulations, namely UU No.32 of 2009 and UU No.10 of 2009. The result showed that there were three indicators that were not in accordance with UU No.10 of 2009 on Tourism, including the implementation of principles; coordination; and rights, obligations and prohibitions.  The efforts to prevent enviromental damage can be done by dividing the area blocks, designing the site and disseminating information to tourists.

Development in KBU clearly violate local regulations No. 1 of 2008, where every building permit (IMB) issued by the district/city must have a recommendation from the governor, but the deviations of licensing as a collusion of the government of officials and the owners of capital continue. This research method using descriptive qualitative approach, which describes and analyzes the licensing irregularities in the construction of KBU. The results showed that the strategy of interest groups have not been effective in pressuring the government to stop granting licenses and prevent development in KBU. Movement of the interest groups need to be winning support through the formation of opinion in a way to build public awareness about the impact of environmental degradation as a result of development at KBU.

This article highlights the dynamics of geothermal energy in the Kamojang nature reserve in Indonesia. A nature reserve is a conservation area that must be protected and preserved, because it has unique flora and fauna, and rare ecosystems whose existence is threatened with extinction. After going through a long study process by an integrated team, the government finally made a policy to change the function of the nature reserve into a Nature Tourism Park. Changes in policy changes to the function of nature reserves cause pros and cons in the community, and cause conflicts between government and environmental activists. The purpose of this study is to identify the factors that cause changes in the function of nature reserves into natural tourism parks in the Kamojang conservation area of Indonesia, as well as to identify appropriate communication models in the management of geothermal energy through communication and environmentally sustainable approaches. Research findings show that the factors that cause changes in the function of nature reserves into tourist parks include; the interests of geothermal energy to meet national energy needs and electricity infrastructure, accommodate the needs of surrounding communities that utilize water resources in conservation areas, and restore ecosystems. The communication model for geothermal energy management that we propose at the same time is also a novelty namely; ecopopulism approach, negotiation approach, collaboration, and equating meaning and orientation to environmental sustainability. Type of Paper: Empirical Keywords: Geothermal Energy, Nature Reserves, Conservation Policies, Communication Models and Sustainable Development.
