“…One concern is the potential decrease in water availability, which results from the reduced ability of the Watershed to store water in the ground and the accumulation of water in rivers, periodically affecting water availability for local communities and ecosystems that rely on river flow [30]. If contend that higher infiltration of the budgetary division to the provincial districts, including different social bunches may altogether moderate the impacts of normal calamities [29].…”

Babon is a watershed in Central Java that passes through the Semarang Regency, Semarang City, and Demak Regency. Most of the areas in Babon Watershed are potential residential locations for the community because they are situated on the outskirts of Semarang City. Over the past 20 years, Babon Watershed has experienced a change in land use from agriculture and plantations to residential areas. There have also been flooding incidents in several housing areas along the Babon River. The Semarang City Government currently focuses on developing watersheds in the central and western parts. However, no government intervention has yet to develop the eastern watershed, especially the Babon watershed. Babon watershed management is tricky because three regions pass it, so good governance collaboration from the government and related stakeholders is essential. Therefore, the research aims to assess land use and surface runoff change in the Babon watershed. The research method is quantitative. Data collection methods are secondary data collection and field observations. Data analysis methods are spatial analysis using Geographic Information Systems to determine land use changes and the infiltration areas in the Babon watershed in 2013 and 2023; also analysis of surface runoff water discharge using the rational method. Based on the research results, the Babon watershed has experienced significant changes in land use, with non-developed areas being transformed into developed lands. The increasing transformation from non-developed to developed lands impacts water infiltration areas.

“…Forests constitute a crucial component of ecosystems, playing a vital role in maintaining Earth's ecological balance [9]. They contribute to air purification [10,11], water resource protection [12], soil conservation [13], and prevention of natural disasters [14] while serving as habitats for numerous flora and fauna. Forests are crucial in climate regulation, making them pivotal in mitigating global warming [15].…”

Forest park tourism ecological security is the cornerstone of ensuring ecological tourism safety. Delineating the ecological carrying capacity within forest parks is crucial for enhancing the security of forest tourism resources. This study utilizes statistical data from China’s forest parks spanning 2004 to 2019, employing methodologies to comprehensively depict the spatiotemporal dynamic characteristics of forest park tourism ecology in China. Subsequently, this research forecasts the prospective trajectory of forest park tourism ecology in China from 2020 to 2029. The research findings reveal that China’s forest park tourism ecological footprint exhibits oscillating characteristics, while the overall touristic ecological carrying capacity shows a sustained upward trend. However, a significant portion of regions experience deficits in tourism ecology. Notably, the coldspot regions with ecological security features demonstrate relative stability, while the hotspot areas gradually transition from inland to eastern coastal regions. Spatially and temporally, the disparities in touristic ecological profit and deficit depict a “U”-shaped distribution, more pronounced along the east–west axis than the north–south orientation. The migratory shift in the touristic ecological surplus and deficit center gravitates towards the southwest, demonstrating a fluctuating trend characterized by varying migration speeds. The discernible difference between the east and west concerning touristic ecological profit and deficit amplifies the likelihood of imbalance, surpassing disparities between the north and south. Projections suggest a deepening forest park tourism ecological deficit in China from 2020 to 2029, particularly accentuating the unsustainable development of forest park resources in economically developed regions. Through this study, a more comprehensive understanding of the current status and changing trends in the ecological carrying capacity of forest park tourism can be obtained. This research provides theoretical and practical support to promote sustainable tourism development and establishes a solid foundation for the ecological security of future forest park tourism.
