| Summary: | Ecosystem management in artificial ecosystem with multifunction
would need to apply a multidisciplinary approach to attaining optimalization.
Carrying capacity concept implements to design Bogor Botanical Gardens (BBG)
optimalization management according to multidisciplinary approach (collection
management, collection mapping and visitor willingness to pay). The aim of this
research is to study the BBG living-collection characteristic, mapping collection,
measure visitor willingness to pay, recreation carrying capacities and promote an
elaboration in BBG management.
This research used descriptive and surveys methods continued with
mapping BBG living collection and visitor willingness to pay measurement.
Visitor willingness to pay will be used to capture visitor preferences in BBG
management strategy by considering an ideal visitor crowding.
The results shows there are 3 planting group of BBG living-collection
according to their taxonomy. There are Pterydophyta (96%), Spermatophyta (2%)
and Magnoliophyta (2%). BBG has 146 living collection registered as Red List
and 1110 as critical collection. Critical collections used to describe when he
collection only has one specimen living in BBG. According to the distribution of
Red List collection BBG has 5 planting area based collection taxonomy, 3 area
with high level of threatened (Vak VII.B, VIII.D and XXV.A) and 1 area with
high critical collection (XI.B). Willingness to pay suggest that visitor ideal ticket
is Rp. 9.561,00, the willingness to pay for restricted access about Rp. 10.000,00
and willingness to pay for visitor restricted about Rp. 19.500,00. The recreation
carrying capacities formulated according to visitors preferences crowding level
who willing to pay for restricted access and restricted visitor. Cross analyst has
results maximum visitor crowding is between 5000 until 8000 visitor per day.
According to that BBG optimilization management could be arrange according to
visitor preferences crowding level and price targeting in a different ticket tariff. If
visitor crowding about 5000 (weekdays) we suggest Rp. 9.500,00.. If visitor
crowding about 5000 � 8000 (weekend) we suggest Rp. 10.000,00 and Rp.
19.500,00 if visitor crowding predicted as 8000 vsitor per day (holiday peaks)
