Mid-semester Exam For Tourism Education Course

MID-SEMESTER EXAM FOR TOURISM EDUCATION COURSE QUESTIONS 1. Explain the 3 highest potential tourist attractions in your study location. Answer: In the White Crater Forest Tourism Area, there are 3 high natural potentials, namely: a. Mountains that surround the White Crater Area and high cliffs that are the viewpoints of the white crater. b. Cantigi plant forests that grow densely along the road to the source of the crater, the presence of this cantigi forest gives a cool impression around the crater so that it makes it comfortable for visitors who are on their way to the source of the white crater. c. The crater which is the main potential of the white crater whose water can change color. The soil mixed with sulfur around this crater is white, then the color of the water in this crater is greenish white. The lake water here can change color according to the sulfur content, temperature, and weather 2. What is the potential attraction analysis method used, and briefly explain the principles of the analysis! Answer: In analyzing the potential of tourist attractions in the White Crater area, our group used the Scoring method with indicators from Leopold (1985) where the assessment is done by giving a score to each indicator and each type of attraction in the White Crater Tour. The assessment principle is scoring several aspects such as the diversity of attractions, the diversity of natural forms, the level of popularity, accessibility and the uniqueness of the White Crater's attraction. This scoring is in the form of giving a value on a scale of 1 to 5 with notes ranging from very unattractive, unattractive, somewhat attractive, attractive and very attractive. 3. Explain the 2 most risky landscape hazards in your study location! Answer: In the White Crater area, there are several landscape hazards, but the most risky landscape hazards are divided into two, namely the dangers caused by environmental aspects, which can be forest fires because the plants around the crater are flammable plants. The second is the danger caused by geological aspects where the location of the crater is not far from Mount Patuha which is an active volcanic mountain so that it can threaten the sustainability of tourism in the White Crater and also the sulfur content of the crater is still high so that it is a risk to visitors. 4. Related to no. 3, what is the basis you use in deciding the most risky landscape hazards in your study location! Answer: There was an accident and forest fire incident caused by the negligence of tourists/communities which resulted in fatalities and the location of the White Crater which is on the slopes of an active Volcanic Mountain. 5. Explain the percentage of area of each land suitability category produced in the land suitability analysis at your study location! Answer: • Seasonal plant area: Class 2 (199.95 ha) • Perennial plant area: class 2 (225.87 ha) • Buffer area: class 3 (500.5 ha) and class 4 (215.26 ha) • Protected function area: class 4 (15.80 ha) 6. Related to no. 5, also explain which land category has the largest area, and what are the implications of these results for tourism development at the study location? Answer: The category with the largest area is the buffer area because in this area there is land that can and is feasible to be used for cultivation economically and does not threaten the sustainability of the ecology in it. This buffer area also functions as a boundary between the protected area and the cultivation area such as production forest land. 7. Explain what components you use in analyzing tourism carrying capacity at the study location! And also explain the principle of the carrying capacity analysis formula that you use in the study! Answer: Calculation of tourism carrying capacity must consider the biophysical factors of the area and tourists. In terms of biophysical factors, what is considered is the effective area of space used for tourism activities, sensitive flora and fauna, climate and temperature, soil type, and other ecological aspects. Meanwhile, tourist factors are seen from the need for space per tourist, length of stay, concentration and distribution of tourists, tourist choice activities, and other things related to tourist preferences and behavior in the area. In analyzing tourism carrying capacity, the things that must be considered are the effective area of space used for tourism activities for 1 year, turnover factors, constants and demand for tourism activities per year according to the formula for calculating the carrying capacity value of a tourist destination. This aims to find out whether the carrying capacity has exceeded the calculation of the effective area for tourism obtained from the results of the land suitability analysis. 8. What are the results of the carrying capacity analysis that you obtained at the study location? Explain! Answer: Given: dAR (area for tourism) = 345.82 ha A (area requirement per tourist) = 2,725 feet2 Cd (number of effective days in 1 year) = 365 days TF (turn over factor) = 1.5 Constant = 43,560 Given: D (demand for tourism activities (people/year)) ? Based on the calculation results using the formula above, the data on the demand for tourist activities at the Kawah Putih destination is 3,026,604 tourists each year. 9. Explain the difference between the Carrying Capacity study using the Douglas (2000) and Chifuentes (1992) formulas! Answer: The study according to Cifuentes (1992) consists of physical carrying capacity, ecological carrying capacity, and certain real carrying capacity. While the formula from Douglas requires a minimum area requirement for tourism activities, the average number of visitors per year, the need for a certain tourism area (907 Feet2), the capacity of the day of use (within 1 year), Recovery factor and Constant. 10. Explain the level of disaster risk at your study location based on the Hazard, Vulnerability & Capacity components! Answer: • Hazard: 1. Hazards based on environmental aspects are forest fires because plants around the crater are flammable. For example, cantigi trees and andam alang-alang ferns. In addition to forest fires, other hazards are landslides considering the location of the crater which is in a mountainous area. 2. Hazards based on Geological aspects, this is because the White Crater is located in the Mount Patuha area which is an active volcanic mountain, therefore the geological aspect is a threat to the White Crater tourist area • Vulnerability: 1. Natural factors: The existence of a prolonged dry season that results in forest fires 2. Social factors: In addition to natural factors, there are also accidental human beings in the White Crater area burning incense during pilgrimages. • Capacity: In terms of disaster management that occurs in the White Crater, the management is assisted by the local government and local communities for the post-disaster recovery process 11. Explain the disaster mitigation concept that you propose at the study location! Answer: Efforts to minimize disasters are carried out through the development of physical infrastructure and the use of technology. Such as the creation of volcanic activity detection devices, early warning systems to predict volcanic activity and evacuation routes when landslides occur.
