Analysis of Tourism Environment Carrying Capacity in Goa Kiskendo Forest Tourism BKPH Boja KPH Kendal

Abstract

The number of tourists who visit Goa Kiskendo Forest Tourism have been increased. By the increasing of tourists number will increase tourism activities so it will not be easy to manage it. It relates to realize the balance between tourism activities with environmental sustainability because with the increase will cause environmental damage. Therefore, to reduce the negative impacts, especially environmental biophysical conditions, it is necessary to conduct research on the carrying capacity analysis of the tourist environment in Goa Kiskendo Forest Tourism, which is linked to the maximum amount of visitors received in the area influenced by environmental biophysical aspects and management capacity. The method used refers to the Cifuentes formula (1992) which consists of Physical Carrying Capacity (PCC), Real Carrying Capacity (RCC) and Effective Carrying Capacity (ECC). Data collection was done by field observation / survey, literature study, questionnaire and limited interview. The carrying capacity analysis result of tourist environment in Goa Kiskendo Forest Tourism shows the PCC value is amount 3,930 visitors / day; RCC value is 276 visitors / day and ECC value is 184 visitors / day. This value when compared with the actual average number of current visitors is 37 visitors / day, is immobile far under the value of the effective carrying capacity analysis results. Founded on the effective carrying capacity value, the growth of Goa Kiskendo Forest Tourism can still be done by optimalization of the visitors number by 79.89% in accordance with the effective carrying capacity so the environmental conditions are stay awaked with the tourism activities in the location.

Tourism Environmental Carrying Capacity Review, Hotspot, Issue, and Prospect

“…Scholars have explored TECC based on different theoretical perspectives, including DEPSIR [ 69 ], PSR [ 70 ] and EES [ 71 ] models. The local TECC studies include national parks [ 58 ], tourist resorts [ 62 ], lakes [ 60 ], islands [ 72 ], forests [ 73 ] and coast regions [ 63 ], etc. Scholars analyzed the TECC based on first-hand surveys and measurements and combined it with secondary data; then extended to archipelago [ 44 ], counties [ 68 , 74 ], cities [ 35 , 75 ] and specific regions [ 56 , 76 ].…”

“…From the perspective of emergy analysis, Jung Chanhoon et al evaluated the ECC of Jeju Island in different periods by indicators of percent renewable, emergy yield ratio and environmental loading ratio [14]. Suwarno and Widjaya calculated the ECC of Goa Kiskendo Forest Tourism based on the regional biophysical conditions and management capabilities, and explored the relation between tourism and environmental sustainability [15].…”
