| Summary: | Tourism activities and
infrastructure development, as responses to expectations from tourists, are
generally considered to negatively influence ecosystem services, specifically
at tourism sites. Some studies even show that the construction of any
infrastructure, such as accommodation facilities and new roads, endangers the
authenticity and integrity of World Heritage sites (WHS). Therefore, it is
crucial to have insight into the characteristics of land use in tourism areas
and the changes that occur, and to ensure ecosystems can continue to provide
services. The purpose of this paper is to analyze changes in land use in the
areas around tourism sites. This study developed a future land use simulation
(FLUS) model to simulate land use changes based on spatial-temporal data on
areas around tourist destinations in general and especially around WHS. The
FLUS model was applied to simulate the land use changes in tourism development
areas in the middle part of Java Island, Indonesia. This study selected six
locational factors and three topographic factors to define the transition map
outlining the probability of occurrence for conditions and topography on each
land use map grid. The model improved using simulation from 2015 to 2018, with
an accuracy of 89.99% and kappa coefficient of 0.8234. The FLUS model was
further employed to simulate the land use changes from 2018 to 2036. The
results of the analysis of land use change in tourism locations indicate a
significant change from croplands to built-up areas. This analysis was
conducted to provide information for policymakers and investors so that they
can make the right decisions when developing the infrastructure development
plan. Notably for areas whose economic sector is being developed, but also in
particular, have areas that must be preserved. |
