Konsep kepariwisataan dunia mengalami pergeseran ke arah model wisata alam akibat tingkat kejenuhan wisatawan􀀎untuk mengunjungi objek-objek wisata buatan. Hal ini merupakan peluang bagi Indonesia untuk memanfaatkan pesona alamnya. Salah satu ekowisata yang terkena, yaitu kawasan wisata di daerah Kabupaten Gunung Kidul-Yogyakarta yang sering dikunjungi wisatawan, namun tidak demikian dengan ekowisata di Kalimantan Barat. Ekowisata di Kalimantan Barat yang berjumlah 333 destinasi tidak sebanding dengan jumlah kunjungan wisatawan seperti halnya di objek wisata lainnya. Salah satu daerah di Kalimantan Barat yang berpotensi adalah Kabupaten Bengkayang yang memiliki 51 objek wisata. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menjelaskan peran pengembangan kawasan ekowisata yang mempunyai potensi di kemudian hari terhadap peningkatan kesejahteraan masyarakat sekitar. Sedangkan pendekatan yang digunakan adalah mix method, dengan metode studi kasus. Teknik pengumpulan data melalui data primer (wawancara / kuisioner) dan data sekunder (studi literatur). Berdasarkan penelitian sebelumnnya (Reny & Pramushinta, 2016) bahwa kawasan Riam Pangar cukup berpotensi, namun perlu di perbaiki baik dari segi daya tarik, sarana dan prasarana, mutu dan pelayanan, pengelolaan dan perawatan sampai regulasi kebijakan yang mengatur ekowisata di daerah tersebut. Pengembangan ekowisata di kawasan Riam Pangar dapat menimbulkan dampak positif maupun dampak negatif bagi pihak-pihak terkait. Dampak yang di timbulkan dapat mengurangi angka pengangguran, peningkatan pendapatan, peningkatan inflasi dan nilai lahan sampai mempercepat proses pembangunan di daerah kawasan tersebut. Hasil penelitian ini diharapkan dapat menjadi informasi dan rekomendasi kepada Pemerintah Kabupaten Bengkayang dalam menentukan alternatif kebijakan dan strategi yang tepat untuk pengembangan pengelolaan wisata alam di Kabupaten Bengkayang terutama daerah kawasan Air Terjun Riam Pangar.

Pontianak city is the capital of West Kalimantan Province, undergoing dynamic growth and development in various sectors. However, it is often hit by inundation or flooding, affecting region development, particularly economic structure. The effort that can be made is the Low Impact Development (LID) Approach to overcome flooding and inundation in urban areas while providing economic value benefits. This research analyzed the economic structure of Pontianak City with an analysis of LQ, Typology Klassen and Shifted Share to look at the growth of the base sector and the movement of economic structures. AHP analysis is used to look at the perspective of LID application in Pontianak City. The results showed that the water procurement, waste management, by products, and recycling sectors became one of the base sectors in Pontianak City. However, the results of shift-share analysis on the competitive advantage component (Cij) showed the sector was moving more slowly than the Provincial level. Policies are needed to accelerate the growth of the water management sector, one of which is a policy to overcome the problem of flooding and inundation in Pontianak city and concomitantly strengthen its economic structure. The results of the AHP analysis showed the selected form of LID application, namely water tanks, rain gardens, bioretention, filter strips, infiltration trenches, porous pavement, and infiltration wells that lead to small-scale or self-contained applications. Sensitivity analysis shows that the criteria for land needs are very sensitive and most affect other measures, namely cost, in determining LID application. Therefore, the commitment of the Pontianak City Government as a regulator, dynamic actor, and facilitator is needed to support policies and budgets that strengthen the economic structure of Pontianak City as well as a cross-sectoral working atmosphere and healthy investment to support the implementation of LID

This study aims to analyze the factors determining poverty in the Indonesia-Malaysia border province of West Kalimantan. Data were obtained from Statistics Indonesia (BPS) of West Kalimantan Province. From 2010 to 2019, panel data of regencies/cities in West Kalimantan were analyzed quantitatively. The results showed that the Random Equation Model (REM) using the GLS method was more appropriate for examining the impact of poverty in West Kalimantan. The study result found that Gross Regional Domestic Product, unemployment rate, and population density significantly affect poverty.
