Landscape planning of tea plantation agrotourism area based on agro-based services

Abstract

The availability of various plantations in Indonesia are potential resource that can be utilized as agro-tourism areas, so that it can expand the spectrum of business not only in tea production but also in agro-tourism businesses. Agro-based service can be developed based on utilization plantation agribusiness system, i.e. on-farm agribusiness, off-farm agribusiness, and additional resources as agrotourism objects and attractions. One of the potential areas is Ciater PTPN VIII Tea Plantation which is managed by a State-Owned Enterprise (BUMN). This plantation area of 983.7 ha, which is dominated by tea plantation land use (61.22%), while the rest is other uses, such as forests and other natural resources. The objective of study is creating landscape plan of tea plantation agrotourism based on agro-based services. The planning method carried out consists of the preparation, inventory, analysis, synthesis, and landscape planning. The analysis was carried out on the biophysical, tourist objects and attractions, as well as aspects of people’s preferences and acceptability. Research produces spatial plan, circulation plans, and landscape plans. The landscape plan consists of the main agro-tourism space, agrotourism support space, supporting tourism space, production space, and conservation space.

“…This manuscript presents the approach to and results from the first step (fig 1., in green) to create a systems understanding of agritourism in the region and the foundations for the subsequent steps of regional planning comprising the municipalities of Utuado, Ciales, Florida, and Jayuya. The foundation of the process builds a comprehensive inventory of all agriculture-related attractions and resources in the region (Kuehn, Hilchey, Ververs, Dunn, & Lehman, 1998), including regional features such as scenic vistas, farms open to visitors, historic and cultural sites, restaurants, hotels and lodging, community-based tourism activities, and nature attractions as well as tourism facilities and infrastructure (Moore & Johnson, 2022;Faridah & Pramukanto, 2020).…”

“…Such translation into a spatially explicit map allows community planners to identify clusters of activity and how they could be synergistically linked to form the envisioned regional agritourism system. Specifically, maps displaying tourism data can assist with the future planning and Published by Sarawak Research Society 62 Supported by Ministry of Tourism, Creative Industry and Performing Arts Sarawak, Responsible Borneo, UCSI University, and Regional Centre of Expertise (RCE) Kuching development of activities and facilities, accommodations, and natural resource management (Faridah & Pramukanto, 2020).…”
