Abstract

The purpose of this activity is to generate ideas, concepts, and design proposals for the development of the Biodiversity Park Ecotourism (Taman Kehati) through an open competition for university students with interests in ecotourism development, landscape planning, and area development. The method applied involves field research with data collection techniques including direct observation of the research object, interviews with respondents, and dissemination through both official committee channels and media partners.

The results consist of innovative and realistic design ideas for the development of the Biodiversity Park Ecotourism (Taman Kehati), covering technical planning, landscape design, supporting infrastructure, and other relevant facilities. The designs adhere to the principles of sustainable tourism and ecotourism, considering environmental carrying capacity, particularly the swamp ecosystem characteristics, visitor safety, educational and special interest attractions, and the use of environmentally friendly materials. The proposals also emphasize low-carbon tourism management, accessibility for children, the elderly, and persons with disabilities, as well as disaster risk mitigation. Ten (10) best works will be nominated and invited to present their designs as part of the final evaluation to determine the winners.
