Mudal River ecotourism is located in the Menoreh Hills which is a geological protected area and the area around the springs in the RTRW of Kulon Progo Regency. Since 2015 the Mudal River has been used as a tourist spot in the ecotourism category. These ecotourism activities have increased significantly from year to year when viewed from secondary visitor data for 2015-2018. The study was conducted to determine the value of the carrying capacity of the area and the real carrying capacity which is an effort to prevent damage that occurs in ecotourism areas in protected areas. The method used in this research is a survey and field method. Data on the parameters of carrying capacity and area and real carrying capacity were obtained from the survey and field activities. Based on the results and data processing carried out, it was found that the carrying capacity of the area (DDK) was 701 people/day (consisting of DDK utilization of playing water 637 people/day, DDK utilization of sitting relaxed 57 people/day, and DDK utilization of camping 7 people/day). Meanwhile, the real carrying capacity value is 1151 people/day. The two results obtained are still far above the existing visitors to the Mudal River Ecotourism so the carrying capacity of ecotourism activities is still in accordance with the value of the carrying capacity of the area and the real carrying capacity.
Kawasan sekitar mata air dalam RTRW Kulon Progo merupakan kawasan lindung geologi. Mata air yangterdapat pada hulu Sungai Mudal merupakan salah satu kawasan yang tercantum dalam RTRW Kulon Progosebagai kawasan lindung geologi. Walaupun aktivitas pariwisata yang dilakukan pada kawasan lindung geologisesuai dengan peraturan yang ada bersifat diizinkan dengan catatan tidak berdampak pada rusaknya kualitas airdan tetap mempertimbangkan peraturan terkait lebar sempadan sungai. Namun pada kenyataannya denganmeningkatnya jumlah pengunjung pada Ekowisata Sungai Mudal tentu perlu diperhatikan terkait evaluasikesesuaian lahan pada kawasan wisata tersebut. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melakukan evaluasi kesesuaianlahan wisata air terjun yang terdapat pada Sungai Mudal berdasarkan pemanfaatannya yakni sebagai kawasanbermain air. Metode yang digunakan antara lainnya adalah metode survei dan lapangan untuk memperoleh dataprimer pada lapangan berupa kedalaman, kecepatan arus, pemandangan, tutupan lahan dan lainnya sertamelakukan cross check lapangan, metode uji laboratorium untuk mengetahui parameter yang diuji yakni berupabau dan metode analisis data dengan melakukan skoring dan pembobotan dari hasil data lapangan. Hasil akhirdari penelitian ini adalah nilai indeks kesesuaian wisata pada masing-masing pemanfaatan lahan.Kata Kunci : Ekowisata; Kawasan Lindung; Kesesuaian Lahan; Lingkungan
