Purpose The paper aims to examine the effect of physical distancing control on the intention to travel during the pandemic and to assess the influence of knowledge, social concern and perceived risk on the theory of planned behavior (TPB). Design/methodology/approach A total of 1,068 Indonesian respondents through a purposive sampling approach, filled out online questionnaires during the pandemic. The collected data were analyzed using partial least squares-structural equation modeling. Findings The results indicated that subjective norm as the external factor of the TPB has a stronger effect than the internal factors; attitude and behavioral control. It appears that in a collectivist society, prohibition enforced by family and friends, as well as the government’s sanctions have a stronger influence on one’s decision to travel. The findings also suggested that knowledge, perceived risks and social concern effect tourists’ behavior. Uncertainty and inadequate knowledge will decrease the level of perceived risk, which leads to lower control in practicing physical distancing and increasing intention to travel during the pandemic. Research limitations/implications The research has limitations in its use of a convenient sampling method. This method may not represent the whole population, causing the results to be difficult for generalization. There is also the need for extending the TPB model with different variables in the context of tourism and pandemic. This study enriches the existing tourism literature by applying TPB to examine tourists’ behavior during the Covid-19 pandemic, focusing on knowledge, social concern and perceived risk theory. Practical implications This paper offers useful insights for tourism planners in the government and private destination management levels. It is crucial for a destination management organization to understand the relationship between knowledge, perception and social concern with tourists’ behavior while traveling during pandemics. The understanding of tourist’s behavior when traveling during the pandemic will assist in developing and creating activities and designing health protocols at tourist attractions. Originality/value This study extended the TPB to analyze tourists behavior during the pandemic by applying knowledge, social concern and perceived risk elements.
Water is a resource that plays an important role in supporting the human activities and human. Until now, its function and role for human beings cannot be replaced by other resources. However, the excess of water at the wrong time and place can cause a range of problems for our life and livelihood as well as the decline in the quality of the environment. For years and until recently, floods has not only experienced by developing countries, such as in Indonesia, but also by developed countries. Floods can be caused by many factors, which are grouped into natural and human factors, but this problem is mainly caused by human activities which do not take the carrying capacity of the environment and the variability of climatic condition into consideration. Contribution of each factor to flooding in different areas will be different, one of the important factors related to urban and regional planning is the change in land use. The impact of flooding on the environment, economy, and social are also varied among one region to another. This paper discusses the phenomenon of flooding, causes, impacts, and mitigation with illustration case on flooding in some areas, especially areas of Bandung.
ABSTRAKPengembangan pariwisata Indonesia didasarkan pada prinsip pariwisata berkelanjutan terutama untuk potensi terbesarnya pada pariwisata bahari dan budaya. Kearifan lokal merupakan jiwa dari identitas kebudayaan Indonesia yang beragam. Hal itu dapat dimanfaatkan sebagai inovasi untuk pengembangan pariwisata berkelanjutan. Kearifan lokal dapat digabungkan dengan potensi pariwisata bahari sehingga dapat mendukung program pemerintah untuk target 20 juta wisatawan mancanegara pada tahun 2019. Selain itu, kearifan lokal dapat menekan dampak negatif akibat pariwisata, meningkatkan alternatif mengakomodasi pengembangan daya tarik wisata yang menggabungkan kearifan lokal dan pariwisata bahari yang belum terdapat pada program pemerintah di setiap daerah. Oleh karena itu, penulis tertarik meneliti bagaimana kearifan lokal dapat diinkorporasikan dalam pengembangan pariwisata bahari berkelanjutan. Studi ini dilakukan di kawasan objek wisata Pantai Masceti, Kabupaten Gianyar. Metode yang digunakan adalah deskriptif analisis kualitatif dan sintesis. Dari identifikasi di lokasi studi, potensi kearifan lokal yang ada di antaranya Pura Masceti, sistem pengelolaan kawasan, Subak, dan Rumah Angsa. Adapun potensi pariwisata bahari berkelanjutan terdiri atas potensi hubungan selaras dengan lingkungan, sosial budaya, dan ekonomi yang dipengaruhi oleh sistem pengelolaan kawasan yang sedang diupayakan. Inkorporasi diwujudkan dengan penyusunan konsep pengembangan kawasan berlandaskan sistem nilai kearifan lokal, penjualan produk wisata, pengadaan jenis kegiatan bentang darat dan laut, serta pengadaan kerja sama dengan objek wisata lain melalui tema wisata tertentu dengan didukungan oleh stakeholders terkait sesuai peran dan kewenangan masing-masing. Kata kunci: inkorporasi, kearifan lokal, pariwisata bahari berkelanjutan ABSTRACT Indonesian tourism development is based on the principle of sustainable tourism especially for its main potentials in marine and culture tourism. Local wisdom is the soul of Indonesia's diverse cultural identity, and can be used as an one of innovation way in sustainable tourism
Citatah-Saguling is part of the Bandung Basin region, which has geodiversity as a tourist attraction.
