Kesesuaian Lahan pada Perencanaan Wisata Alam Hutan Desa Telaga Kecamatan Kamipang Kalimantan Tengah

Abstract

Kawasan wisata alam sering kali memiliki potensi bencana alam yang dapat mengancam keselamatan pengunjung, seperti longsor, gempa bumi, dan banjir. Lahan gambut merupakan ekosistem alami penting dengan nilai tinggi untuk konservasi keanekaragaman hayati, pengatur iklim, dan kesejahteraan manusia. Keunikan ekosistem dan kemampuan kawasan gambut dalam mengatur iklim disebabkan perbedaan iklim dan biogeografi. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan metode analisis dekriptif kualitatif untuk mendapatkan deskripsi dan karakter ekologis kawasan gambut, potensi objek dan daya tarik ekowisata berupa flora, fauna dan habitat serta digunakan metode Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) untuk menilai dukungan masyarakat kota terhadap perencanaan kawasan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kawasan Hutan Desa Telaga memiliki potensi daya tarik wisata yang baik. Dukungan expert terhadap rencana perencanaan wisata alam kawasan didukung dengan preferensi berupa rencana pengembangan ekowisata berbasis keseimbangan ekologi dan masyarakat.

Natural tourism areas often have the potential for natural disasters that can threaten the safety of visitors, such as landslides, earthquakes, and floods. Peatlands are important natural ecosystems with high value for biodiversity conservation, climate regulation, and human welfare. The uniqueness of the ecosystem and the ability of peat areas to regulate climate are due to differences in climate and biogeography. This study was conducted using a qualitative descriptive analysis method to obtain a description and ecological character of the peat area, the potential for ecotourism objects and attractions in the form of flora, fauna and habitats and the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method was used to assess urban community support for area planning. The results of the study indicate that the Telaga Village Forest area has good potential for tourist attractions. Expert support for the area's natural tourism planning plan is supported by preferences in the form of an ecotourism development plan based on ecological and community balance.
