This study aims to design an ecotourism development strategy and calculate its economic value. The research method used is a "mixed method" approach. The qualitative approach is obtained from in-depth interviews with parties involved in developing and managing the Tugurejo mangrove forest conservation, which is processed using the NVivo application. In contrast, the quantitative approach is processed using the analysis of the contingent assessment method (CVM) and willingness to pay (WTP). The study results show that the role and involvement of youth are crucial in the preservation of Ecotourism Areas. Conservation is needed in the sustainable development of Ecotourism Areas with the part and participation of youth. The average amount of WTP is Rp. 10.000.00. The economic value of income for one year is estimated to generate Rp revenue. 280,000,000.00 with a ticket of Rp. 5,000 (including parking).
Environmental degradation occurs is influenced by economic growth and the means of transportation that support it, besides that, the population size also affects the occurrence of environmental degradation. This study aims to determine the effect of economic growth, population growth and total of transportation on environmental degradation in short and long term. This research uses dynamic time series autoregressive distribution lag method. The results showed that the gross domestic product (GDP) variable had a significant positive effect in increasing CO2 gas emissions both in the short and long term. The variable amount of transportation has a positive and insignificant effect on the increase in CO2 gas emissions in the short term and has a negative effect in the long term. Meanwhile, population growth variable has a positive and significant effect in the short term and negative and significant in the long term.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
