Kelompok tani hutan kemasyarakatan (HKm) Mandiri Kalibiru mengelola hutan lindung yang salah satu kegiatannya berupa usaha pengelolaan ekowisata. Keterlibatan masyarakat lokal menjadi pelaku wisata merupakan ciri menonjol dalam usaha jasa tersebut. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menyajikan jenis partisipasi masyarakat lokal dalam mengembangkan ekowisata, dan peran kelembangaan HKm dalam mendorong masyarakat lokal berpartisipasi dalam pengembangan ekowisata. Konsep partisipasi level perencanaan, pelaksanaan dan pemanfaatan digambarkan pada tiga periode perkembangan obyek wisata: periode ke-1 perintisan, periode ke-2 mulai berkembang dan periode ke-3 berkembang. Pengumpalan data menggunakan teknik wawancara mendalam (indept interview) dan kajian dokumen. Analisis data dilakukan secara deskriptif dan proposisi teoritis. Terdapat perbedaan partisipasi masyarakat lokal pada ke tiga periode perkembangan obyek wisata tersebut. Partisipasi level perencanaan sangat bergantung pada pendamping selama periode ke-1 dan 2, namun ketika obyek wisata sudah berkembang perencanaan mampu dilakukan secara mandiri. Partisipasi level pelaksanaan pada periode ke-1 dan 2 dilakukan secara gotong royong, namun pada periode ke-3 pelaksanaan pembangunan menggunakan tenaga profesional. Partisipasi level pemanfaaatan dimulai pada periode ke-2 yang melibatkan anggota HKm dan tokoh pemuda secara terbatas, dan pada periode ke-3 masyarakat Kalibiru yang memanfaatkan peluang kerja dan usaha mencapai 85%. Tingginya partisipasi masyarakat tersebut tidak lepas dari peran pendamping, pemerintah dan aturan lembaga HKm dalam fasilitasi dan penyediaan ruang partisipasi bagi masyarakat lokal. Local Communities Participation in Ecotourism DevelopmentAbstractThe community forest Mandiri Kalibiru manages of protected forests one of activities is ecotourism management. The involvement of local communities as ecotourism actors is a major feature in the service business. This study aims to present the type of local communities participation in developing ecotourism, and the role of HKm institution in encouraging the local communities to participate in ecotourism. The concept of participation at the planning, implementation and utilization level is illustrated in three periods of tourism development: the first period-pioneering, the second-developing and the third-developed. Data collection uses in-depth interview techniques and document review. Data analysis was performed descriptively and theoretical propositions. There are differences in local communities participation in the three periods. Participation in the planning level is very dependent on the companion during periods 1 and 2, but when the third period, the planning can be done independently. Participation in the implementation level in periods 1 and 2 was carried out cooperatively, but in the third period, the implementation of the development uses professional staff. Participation in utilization rates began in the second period involving limited HKm members and youth leaders, and the 3rd period the Kalibiru community involved took advantage of work and business opportunities which reached 85%. The high local communities participation is inseparable from the role of partners, government and HKm institutional regulations in facilitating and providing of participating space for local communities.

The concept of educational tourism developed as a consequence of the saturation of applying learning methods in a rigid and formal room. Yogyakarta as a student and cultural city has several educational tourism objects, one of which is the Smart Park. Smart Park Yogyakarta as the most comprehensive science center in Southeast Asia offers various educational tourism program packages. The objective of this study is to analyze the Smart Park management model by conducting a survey to 200 visitors with data analyzed by SEM-PLS method. Data analysis is done in two ways, namely model feasibility test and significance test through bootstrapping process. Based on the data result analysis, the most dominant influence is management performance to the variation of tourism activities with path analysis of 0,653. The indicator with the largest contribution is learning new technology by loading factor value of 0.872. In terms of product availability, almost all educational tourism activities are available, unless for the tourist attractions related to learning a new language.

Piyungan landfill is the biggest landfill in the Special Region of Yogyakarta, Indonesia, which receives municipal solid waste (MSW) from two districts and a city, while its designed service time has been over and faces operational obstacles. Meanwhile, the volume of the MSW grows rapidly and exceeds the reduction rate in their sources. The difficulty in finding a new landfill area is the reason why appropriate technological alternatives in the MSW management are strongly needed. Therefore, the study aimed to evaluate the social and economic aspects and formulate appropriate technology based on the waste entrepreneurship (wastepreneurship) concept. The methods of this study were conducting calculation of waste characteristics and composition, social evaluation, and economic evaluation of the combination of composting, incinerator, and sanitary landfill. Waste characteristics and composition were taken using direct field measurement following Indonesia's National Standard Guideline about retrieving and measuring examples of urban waste emergence and composition. Characteristics of waste are used for the calculation of calorific value and energy. The social evaluation was conducted using an in-depth interview with the rag pickers. The economic evaluation was conducted using net present value, internal rate of return, and payback period. The result of the study shows that Piyungan Landfill with total combustion waste reach 82.22% has the potential of incinerator implementation. In social evaluation, the implementation of composting and incinerator technologies would open employment for the surrounding community and rag pickers. The economic evaluation shows the combination of composting and incinerator technologies was economically feasible with an average profit margin of 12.97% in the operational period of 18 years. In conclusion, the concept of wastepreneurship is relevant in Piyungan Landfill by adjusting the MSW management paradigm from previously cost-center into business-center.
