Abstract

The objective of this study is to create a technology-driven application prototype, named "Bayadome Geotours," as a cutting-edge solution to enhance geotourism governance and environmental conservation in the Bayah Dome Geopark, Banten. This research advances the utilisation of information and geospatial technology to improve visitor experiences and bolster local community involvement. It achieves this through an emphasis on needs analysis, prototype design, implementation, and testing. The Bayadome Geotours prototype is specifically engineered to offer a dynamic and engaging tourism encounter. Geospatial navigation capabilities enable users to digitally explore geosites, while an intuitive user interface assures accessibility for visitors with different levels of knowledge. This programme offers precise and comprehensive geological information, providing a novel method to enhance comprehension of the geological resources found in the Bayah Dome Geopark. Bayadome Geotours is a good example of the value of local community involvement in geotourism administration. This application serves as both a travel guide and a venue for the exchange of knowledge, local narratives, and cultural heritage. Engaging the public in sharing information fosters a stronger connection between tourists and the environment, resulting in a beneficial influence on the preservation of geosites and the overall management of destinations. Prototype testing conducted using a unit testing methodology demonstrates the successful execution of all system functionalities. The JEST tool's test results confirm that the Bayadome Geotours application is prepared for distribution to the general user base. Nevertheless, there are obstacles in the way of effectively managing and modernising the application, as well as achieving general acceptance, that must be addressed in order to guarantee the ongoing triumph of this prototype. However, Bayadome Geotours has created significant opportunities for advancing sustainable geotourism governance.
