This study aims to analyze the level of sustainability of coastal resources in the Mentawai Islands District. As an area that has various potential resources. Many developments in coastal areas are essential means of regional economic growth. It turns out that development in coastal regions raises problems for their natural resources in the form of a decrease (degradation) of their natural resources in quality and quantity. The decline includes shrinking mangrove forests, decreasing fishers' catch, sedimentation, and coastal abrasion around coastal areas. The MDS (Multidimensional Scaling) analysis approach will be used to determine the status of coastal resources as a foundation for sustainable coastal resource management based on the carrying capacity of the resources. The investigation findings suggest that the Mentawai Islands District's coastline management situation is not promising. The index for the ecological dimension is 42.31. In the moderate category, the economic dimension of the sustainable development index has a value of 51.31. The sustainable development index has a social dimension of 50.01. This dimension's legal and institutional dimension index is 51.84. The Mentawai Islands district's coastal management has to improve, given the increasing pressure to develop coastal resources in the future.
Strawberry agrotourism is the most extensive strawberry farming in Bandung, West Java. This agrotourism has the potential for nature, tourism, conservation, and regional economic potential. This research aims to identify the characteristics and assessment of visitors, identify factors influencing tourism demand, and estimate the value of the agrotourism economy. The economic value is analyzed using the method of TCM (Travel Cost Method). This method is calculated based on total consumer surplus, travel cost coefficient, and respondent visits. The average travel cost incurred by 379 respondents during the trip is IDR. 413,699, and the total cost of the entire journey is IDR.156,792,000. The surplus of consumer visits is IDR. 12,670, and the individual consumer surplus visits are IDR.33. The economic value generated for one year is IDR. 237,600. The factors that influence the demand are income, distance, and time to know the location. At the same time, the factors that do not affect the market are travel cost, education, number of dependents in the family, gender, and age of visitors.
