Abstract

Padang city is one of the regions of Indonesia that has potential in the tourism sector, one of which is beach tourism. The tourism sector is one of the largest sectors and the main mainstay for the economy in various countries, including Indonesia. Countries that rely on the tourism sector must pay attention to several factors that attract tourists, one of which is climate comfort. Climate information is a major factor in choosing a tourist trip. This study aims to analyze the level of climate comfort in the coastal tourism area of Padang City using the Holiday Climate Index (HCI) method. HCI uses climate parameters such as air temperature, humidity, wind speed, rainfall, and cloud cover. HCI calculation data in the form of observation data obtained from the Meteorology Climatology Geophysics Agency (BMKG) station at Minangkabau International Airport and the Teluk Bayur Maritime Meteorology Station from 2011-2020, direct measurement data from August to September, and questionnaires. The results of the HCI analysis show that the city of Padang is comfortable throughout the year, with the HCI value in the range of 58.6-71.6 which is categorized as acceptable to very good. The results obtained through direct measurements also obtained comfortable results throughout the day with HCI values in the range of 70-80. Perceptions of tourists interviewed also stated that overall tourists felt comfortable with the percentage of respondents as much as 74.1%. HCI can be used as a source of information to determine the value of climate comfort in tourist areas.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the category of comfortable thermal sensation in traveling based on the value of the Physiological Equivalent Temperature (PET) thermal index. The research sites were selected in Padang Beach (PP), Air Manis Beach (PAM) and Nirwana Beach (PN). Calculation of perception of comfort using questionnaire data to visitors. PET calculation data is sourced from the Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) in 2011-2020 and direct measurement data. The results show that the PET thermal sensation category for the Padang City coastal area throughout the year (2011-2020) is included in the "warm" category for tourism activities. Likewise, direct measurements show the "very hot" category with a PET value of 40.3ºC. However, interviews with visitors showed that the overall comfort condition was “neutral” (62%). This is due to environmental conditions that provide a comfortable effect on visitors. The majority of visitors were interviewed under the auspices. Although the measured air temperature is classified as "high", the effects of trees, walking paths and rest areas make visitors feel comfortable.
