Abstract

With a perceived need to improve the interpretation quality of guiding in the 17th century Dutch-colonial Fort Oranje, six on-line workshops were conducted for professional guides and historical society members from Ternate, North Maluku. The workshops included sessions on historical context, fort features, guiding and interpretation good practice principles, tour planning and delivery. Self-assessment evaluations by participants revealed lack of confidence with their level of historical knowledge and in applying interpretive approaches that would enhance a tour of the fort more enjoyable and meaningful for tourists. Limitations of the on-line medium for training were identified by presenters relating to the need for practical on-site tutoring and integration of historical context and content with places, interpretive principles, and visitor expectations. Exposure of participants to novel ideas and approaches to guiding was constrained by language, participant experience of quality interpretation, and face-to-face mentoring. While the content of the training program can be adapted for improving interpretive guiding in geoparks, there is probably value in some restructuring to include a two-stage process that starts with training-of-trainers.

Abstract

Bonsai is a cultural tradition with roughly 1,300 years of history in Japan, recognized and appreciated across the world. One of the most prized subjects in bonsai is the Sargent juniper (Juniperus chinensis var. sargentii), called ‘shimpaku’ in Japanese. A particularly well-regarded variety of shimpaku was discovered in Itoigawa in the early 20th century. The ‘Itoigawa Shimpaku’ is prized for its tightly bunched leaves, beautiful white wood and exceptional hardiness. It thrives in the rugged mountains of Itoiga-wa which formed along the Itoigawa-Shizuoka Tectonic Line, a massive fault closely connected to the formation of the Japanese island arc. After decades of collection, the Itoigawa Shimpaku has largely disappeared from its native habitats. Aging local communities are unable to manage the tree’s native mountains and forests. Furthermore, younger generations are less interested in traditional arts making the future of the Itoigawa Shimpaku increasingly uncertain. In response to these issues, Itoigawa UNESCO Global Geopark launched the Itoigawa Shimpaku Project to engage local commu-nities in how best to preserve this unique local heritage and to share it with a wider audience through community-led, experience-oriented tourism programs which link geological, natural and cultural heritage. The aim of this project is to encourage sustainable development, raise new generations of bonsai practitioners and promote responsible management of forests and mountains to en-sure the Itoigawa Shimpaku’s future for centuries to come. This paper will discuss the history of the Itoigawa Shimpaku as well as the background, main issues, and the current progress and future plans of the Itoigawa Shimpaku Project.

Abstract

Despite its applaudable economic benefits (Fleischer & Felsenstein 2000, Goodwin 2008), over-tourism could cause detrimental effects on environment and local cultures. Ecotourism as one of the fastest growing industries in the world (UNWTO, 2001; Self et al, 2010) that balances between economic opportunity as well as cultural and natural preservation should be pervasively applied in Indonesia with abundant natural and cultural competitiveness as the third largest biodiversity in the world after Brazil and Zaire (Janita, 2012). Previous studies revealed the needs to conduct research on responsible marketing and very limited studies investigate responsible product development for bamboo ecotourism concept. Hence, this quantitative study with 64 respondents (18-53 y-o) aims at examining Indonesian domestic market needs and trends as a basis to design responsible bamboo ecotourism products as a part of responsible marketing efforts in Sembalun Lawang, Lombok, Indonesia. This study was carried out through online questionnaire by attaching short-video and description about Sembalun Lawang bamboo forest attractions for ecotourism. The research result shows that 92% of respondents found the bamboo forest is attractive and suitable for ecotourism concept. Among 18 potential activities, the study shows top five desired bamboo ecotourism activities encompassing; picture taking at natural spots, nature walk, learning about local culture on bamboo usage, learning about types and benefits of bamboo plants, and enjoying surrounding fauna and flora. Since the study is confined to Indonesian domestic market research, further research should be carried out to examine international market research trend for responsible bamboo ecotourism development.

It is Ollivaud and Haxton from the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development providing advice on  recovery steps. They say that the creative economy can help offer new products and services for new target groups away from conventional models of environmental or heritage-based cultural tourism: that can be through unconventional media advertisements, art creation in a specific building, and sound-and-light shows. Increasingly visitors are looking for experi-ence-based, instead of destination-based, tourism. Jomblang Cave located in Semanu Village, Gunung Kidul, since 2011 has wide-ly been well known as experience-based tourism, a form of the creative economy, which is currently experiencing a lack of visitors. This writing aims to optimize the contextual diversity of Jomblang Cave to upgrade itself to be ready to accept adventure tourists when the pandemic is gradually over. The research method used is the descriptive method with a qualitative approach. Data collection techniques by conducting interviews with managers, literature studies and site reviews. The data will be processed by the analytical method. The result is to prioritize the contextual diversity that owned, a form of the creative econo-my in the field of adventure tourism Jomblang Cave will remain sustainable.

Abstract

Geoheritage is a term of geological sites that fulfill certain values and criterias which can impact the local community. The unique tectono-volcanic History of Bandung has produced several impressive geodiversity. This research aims to evaluate six geological sites (Bugbrug Waterfall Lava Ramp, Cimahi Waterfall Columnar Joint, Panganten Waterfall Columnar Joint, gunung Batu Fault Scarp, Cihanjuang Ignimbrite, and Tangkuban Parahu Ratu Crater) which are potential as Geoheritage in West Bandung District, Bandung, West Java. Quantitative evaluation was done through several parameters which include values that are important for geoheritage such as: Intrinsic and Scientific Value, Education Value, Economic Value, Conservation Value, and Added Value. This evaluation method will produce scores that will further be analyzed through qualitative means by using SWOT (Strength, Weak-ness, Opportunity, and Weakness) method and its implication on geotourism potential. Quantitative analysis shows that Geodiver-sity of West Bandung shows a good potential as Geoheritage with the final score ranges between 50.83 – 74.17%. The SWOT analysis was applied through strengths of geoheritage potential in this area, especially from Scientific, Economic, and Aesthetic Parameters. The uniqueness of West Bandung Geoheritage Potetial is currently slightly diminished due to the lack of public educa-tion aspects, the lack of significant cultural and ecologic value in several sites.
