Abstract

Mangrove ecotourism provides ecological and economic benefits for the community. This study examines the sustainability of the ecotourism business with a 5-dimensional approach, namely: ecology, economy, social, technology, and infrastructure, as well as law and institutions. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the sustainability of the Banyuurip Mangrove Center (BMC) ecotourism business. The data analysis used quantitative with Multidimensional Scaling (MDS)-ecotourism analysis and SWOT analysis. The sustainability of the BMC ecotourism business multidimensionally resulted in a value of 52.36, so it can be said to be entirely sustainable. The government, managers, and related parties are expected to consider the variables that affect the sustainability of ecotourism, including mangrove rehabilitation, government budget, public awareness, environmentally friendly development, and local government commitment. Mangrove ecotourism management strategy is to carry out an aggressive strategy by increasing and developing the quality of human resources and facilities to improve the community's economy and sustainable mangrove ecosystems. Ecotourism provides many business opportunities for the community to maintain ecological sustainability if it provides economic value.

“…Ademais, em relação à Matriz SWOT, diversos trabalhos demonstram a utilização dessa ferramenta para decisões estratégicas em estudos de ambientes internos e externos à empresa, bem como para antecipar cenários para tomada de decisão, por diversas empresas e/ou negócios, inclusive aqueles que têm como objetivo dar respostas a problemas sociais e que procuram atender à urgência prevista pelos Objetivos de Desenvolvimentos Sustentáveis (ODS) (ONU, 2015). Diante disso, destacam-se estudos estratégicos voltados a diversas aplicações, enquanto ferramenta de tomada de decisão, sendo mais especificamente na indústria; serviços de transportes alternativos de tração humana ou elétrica; na melhoria do sistema de saúde por meio de smartphones; exploração sustentável de áreas de preservação ambiental; uso de tecnologias sociais como blogs, wikis, fóruns, microblogs para elaboração e desenvolvimento de produtos inovadores; produção agroecológica de forma sustentável, organizada e integrada; combate do desperdício de alimentos com enfoque em produtos da agricultura familiar; entre outros (Morales et al, 2019;Feng;Liao, 2020;Kowalska-Pyzalska;Kott;Kott, 2020;Sobhani et al, 2020;Assunção et al, 2022;Bertoni;Chirumalla;Johansson, 2012;Levino et el., 2022;Tjahjono;Adi Intyas;Fattah, 2022).…”

Mangrove Forest Management Strategy in Bedul, Banyuwangi: Collaboration Between Community and Alas Purwo National Park for Sustainable Ecotourism Development

“…Additionally, the area is located within the Alas Purwo National Park area, which classifies as a protected area. The existence of mandatory regulations in a protected area serves to encourage the implementation of sustainable development principles including ecological, economic, social, infra structure/technology, and legal aspects, as suggested by previous studies (Tjahjono et al, 2022). In addition, this research is grounded in the recognition that unidirectional communication and collaboration pose a significant challenge, as demonstrated i n previous research (Arifanti et al, 2022;Song et al, 2021).…”

“…This area correlates with the coastal ecosystem in preventing coastal erosion, providing habitat for various species, ensuring the quality of marine products, protecting coastal communities from extreme weather, and storing carbon for climate change mitigation (Hochard et al, 2019;Lovelock and dimensions: economy, society, ecology, technology, infrastructure, and law and institutions. According to Tjahjono et al, (2022), the five dimensions of mangrove ecotourism can be generated into three main strategic steps: 1) enhancing the quality of mangrove ecotourism products by the utilization of ecological characteristics and local wisdom; 2) enhancing the quality of human resources to effectively manage and produce competitive ecotourism products; and 3) promoting the development and construction of the main and additional mangrove ecotourism infrastructure using eco-friendly technology (Tjahjono et al, 2022). Moreover, the study from Arifanti et al (2022) found that enhancing mangrove forest strategy and management requires the following: 1) improving the use and value of mangrove forests; 2) integrating protection management for mangrove ecosystems; 3) enhancing political commitment and law enforcement; 4) engaging all relevant stakeholders (particularly coastal communities); and 5) promoting research and innovation (Arifanti et al, 2022).…”
