“…Not only does it provide benefits to homestay entrepreneurs, but the rapid growth of the ecotourism industry in Melangkap Village in the post-disaster phase also creates new employment opportunities for locals (refer to Section 4.3). This demonstrates that geohazards have a long-term favorable influence on the economic growth of ecotourism, particularly in terms of expanding business size [39,75] and increasing the annual income of entrepreneurs and the working population in the ecotourism sector [43,75]. This situation is seen as positive since the development of ecotourism is vital and a means of promoting environmental conservation.…”

“…The image of tourism was also tarnished as a result of the geohazard incident [38]. This was proven when the number of tourist arrivals to Kinabalu Park sharply declined in the first 3 months after the earthquake [39]. This decrease has indirectly affected the economic resources of the local population around the Kinabalu Park area [37,38].…”

“…The earthquake affected tourism and economic activities of the local people in Kundasang [37] and Ranau [38]. The number of tourist arrivals to Kinabalu Park was also found to decline during the first three months after the earthquake [39]. Tongkul et al [40] classified the effects of the earthquake into two types: primary and secondary.…”

Geohazards are often portrayed as a calamity that has a detrimental effect on humans and the environment. It is usually uncommon to consider geohazards in the opposite context. Therefore, this study examines the positive effects of an earthquake event centered in Ranau, Sabah, especially from the aspect of ecotourism development. A total of 27 homestay entrepreneurs in Kampung Melangkap were interviewed in this study. The raw data collected during the interview were conceptually and descriptively analyzed using the ATLAS.ti 8 software. Observation techniques were used to supplement the interviews. This study found that the morphological changes of the Panataran Kedamaian River in Kampung Melangkap were a result of an earthquake centered in Ranau. This disaster has led to the development of more interesting physical attractions, attracting many tourists to Melangkap Village. The dramatic increase of tourists in Melangkap during the post-geohazard phase has become the starting point for the economic growth of ecotourism in the region. This is shown by the increase in the number of homestay entrepreneurs, the expansion in the size of their businesses, higher overall income of homestay entrepreneurs, and better job opportunities for the local population.

Tourism environmental capacity refers to the maximum number of tourists T that can be accommodated under the conditions of meeting the space capacity T1, facility capacity T2, ecological environment capacity T3, socio-economic capacity T4 and psychological capacity T5, which is expressed in a simple formula:…”

In today's world, tourism has gradually become a rapidly growing and huge industry. The tourism industry plays an increasingly important role in stimulating urban economy, promoting social employment, and improving culture and environment. This paper aimed to study the evaluation technology of tourism environmental capacity of natural reserves based on big data analysis. In this paper, a mathematical model of tourism environmental capacity was proposed. Based on this study, the tourism environmental capacity experiment of Nature Reserve A based on big data analysis was analyzed. The experimental results of this paper showed that the annual tourism space capacity of Nature Reserve A was about 470000 person-times, and through the questionnaire survey, it was found that the tourism psychological capacity of Nature Reserve A was about 1300 people per day. In tourism development, strengthening environmental protection can effectively increase tourism environmental capacity.
