Perencanaan Ruang Wisata di Taman Wisata Alam Gunung Pancar

Abstract

Taman Wisata Alam (TWA) Gunung Pancar merupakan kawasan pelestarian alam yang memiliki keunikan alamnya, seperti keberadaan sumber air panas, vegetasi hutan alam dan hutan tanaman pinus. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk merancang perencanaan ruang wisata dengan mengidentifikasi potensi alam (supply) dan demand wisata di kawasan tersebut, serta menganalisis potensi pemanfaatan ruang wisata. Data dikumpulkan melalui observasi lapangan dan survei kuesioner kepada 100 responden wisatawan di TWAGP menggunakan purposive sampling. Analisis data deskriptif kuantitatif untuk mengetahui minat wisatawan dan potensi pemanfaatan ruang, serta deskriptif kualitatif dengan pendekatan spasial untuk merancang ruang wisata. Data deskriptif kuantitatif menunjukkan bahwa wisatawan memiliki pengetahuan yang baik mengenai ruang wisata, dengan minat tinggi terhadap aktivitas seperti trekking, pendakian, camping, serta edukasi lingkungan. Melalui analisis potensi pemanfaatan ruang wisata dan spasial, TWAGP memiliki potensi tinggi dalam perancangannya sebagai kawasan ekowisata berkelanjutan berbasis konservasi, edukasi, dan pengalaman rekreasi alam. Luaran yang dihasilkan berupa peta ruang wisata dan buku wisata sebagai panduan perencanaan ekowisata berkelanjutan di TWAGP.

Gunung Pancar Nature Park (Taman Wisata Alam/TWAGP) is a nature conservation area characterized by its unique natural features, including hot springs, natural forest vegetation, and pine plantations. This study aims to design a tourism spatial plan by identifying the area's natural potential (supply) and tourism demand, as well as analyzing the potential for tourism space utilization. Data were collected through field observations and a questionnaire survey involving 100 tourist respondents at TWAGP using purposive sampling. Quantitative descriptive analysis was used to explore tourist interests and space utilization potential, while qualitative descriptive analysis with a spatial approach was employed to design tourism space. The quantitative data indicate that tourists possess good knowledge of tourism spaces and show high interest in activities such as trekking, pendakian, camping, and environmental education. Through an analysis of spatial and tourism space utilization potential, TWAGP demonstrates strong potential to be developed as a sustainable ecotourism area based on conservation, education, and natural recreational experiences. The outputs include a tourism spatial map and a tourism guidebook as a reference for sustainable ecotourism planning in TWAGP.
