“…According to Ramli [20], heritage tourism can be categorized into cultural heritage (tangible and intangible heritage) and natural heritage. In addition, he stated that the conservation and preservation of heritage assets are significant, particularly when used as means of archaeo-tourism [21][22][23][24][25][26] and ecotourism [27][28][29]. Navrud and Ready [30] stated that heritage assets could be analyzed by conservationists through the economic valuation method.…”

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the value derived by the local community from cultural heritage and natural heritage in Jugra, Kuala Langat, as it has the potential to be a recognized heritage tourism site. The quantitative approach was used by conducting a survey study. A total of 392 respondents among the local community were selected through a purposive sampling technique. The collected data were processed with SPSS software and analyzed using cross tabulation analysis. Then, several hypotheses were tested using AMOS software. The result showed that Jugra’s unique heritage elements positively influenced the respondent’s willingness to accept and fund its tourism development. Socioeconomic factors also influenced the respondents’ disposition to preserve heritage. The findings revealed that there was priceless value when respondents agreed with the development, although they had never visited the heritage sites. Their physical, economic, and social valuation made them proud of the heritage, as it is a reflection of their identity. This study also aims to emphasize the role of local community as one of the stakeholders, as they should also be able to benefit from tourism development. All these would help boost the tourism industry, particularly through the archaeo-tourism and eco-tourism perspectives.

“…O ecoturismo é um segmento no qual o visitante avalia positivamente a conservação das formações naturais e a heterogeneidade das paisagens (FORJE; TCHAMBA; ENO-NKU, 2021;LEUNG et al, 2019). A prática ocorre com maior frequência em áreas com bom estado de conservação, como unidades de conservação (UCs), que além de conservar, promove o envolvimento das comunidades e povos tradicionais (ABDURAHMAN et al, 2016;BLANGY e MEHTA, 2006;BRICKER, 2014). O contato direto com paisagens físicas e culturais, possibilita aos turistas novas experiências e aprendizados (ABDURAHMAN et al, 2016;LEUNG et al, 2019).…”

As percepções dos praticantes do ecoturismo estão na escala da paisagem, através da qual se consegue abstrair as distintas formações espaciais captadas em seu campo de visão (OLIVEIRA et al, 2007), como as coberturas vegetais.…”

O ecoturismo é um segmento que auxilia na conservação dos espaços naturais e sua biodiversidade. Entendendo-se a complexidade das paisagens naturais, buscou-se uma análise transversal que cotejasse respostas por meio de métodos de sensoriamento remoto e métricas da paisagem. A área de estudo foi o Parque Estadual Serra do Intendente (PESI), localizado na Serra do Espinhaço. Foram utilizadas imagens dos satélites Landsat 5 e 8, dos anos de 1990 e 2020, que possibilitaram a elaboração dos mapas de uso e cobertura da terra, com qualidade temática em acurácia global de 99,7% e 86,5% e índice Kappa de 99,6% e 80,0%. As métricas da paisagem indicaram um aumento de 53,3% para 57,7% na ocorrência dos campos rupestres, uma redução dos campos graminosos (23,7% para 14,5%) e de solo exposto (0,6% para 0,1%) que, possivelmente, estão associados às áreas anteriormente ocupadas pelo gado, e um aumento da área de floresta estacional semidecidual (21,8% para 27,6%). Ao cruzar os mapeamentos e os resultados quantitativos, foram obtidos subsídios para melhor entendimento da organização espacial. Diante das análises, conclui-se que houve um aumento das formações naturais, consoante com as funções de conservação do PESI, resultando no aumento da potencialidade do ecoturismo.

“…The mangrove ecosystem's sustainability creates opportunities for responsible tourism or ecotourism (Fattah et al, 2021). Ecotourism is one method of providing income and employment chances to the community (Abdurrahman, et al, 2016). Ecotourism is also a concept of sustainable tourism development that aims to preserve the environment (nature and culture) (Intyas et al, 2021).…”

Mangroves that grow in coastal areas have ecological and economic values. Research on the behavior of a mangrove ecotourism system is needed as a basis for management to provide sustainable benefits. This study aimed to describe the conceptualization of a mangrove ecotourism system, formulate a mangrove ecotourism model and formulate a scenario for Kampung Blekok mangrove ecotourism in Situbondo Regency. This study used a quantitative analysis with a dynamic system approach to see the behavior of the ecotourism system on the economic and ecological dimensions. The research results on the conceptualization of the ecotourism system with causal loop diagrams showed that the economic subsystem was composed of response variables in the form of ecotourism management income and community business income in ecotourism areas and gross regional domestic product. Meanwhile, the ecological subsystem consisted of response variables in mangroves’ death, planting, and rehabilitation. Model formulation with stock-flow diagrams demonstrated the relationship between response variables to explain the system. In the economic subsystem, the variable of community business acceptance had the highest sensitivity that could affect ecotourism income. While in the ecological subsystem, the highest sensitivity was on the variable of mangrove planting, which could affect the density of mangroves. The combination of economic subsystem scenarios optimized tourist visits and streamlined spending. The combination of ecological subsystem scenarios that became the priority was the addition of mangrove seedlings and controlling pests that caused the death of mangrove seedlings. Stakeholders are expected to synergize with each other in managing activities in ecotourism. Apart from exploiting their economic potential, the community and the private sector are also expected to participate in maintaining compliance with regulations to preserve mangroves. The government should monitor and enforce regulations related to ecotourism and support the development of mangrove ecotourism so that its benefits are sustainable.
