Risk Hazard At Tourism Destination: Review Of Beach Tourism At Banyuwangi, Indonesia
Summary
This study identified and prioritized natural disaster risks at beach tourism destinations in Banyuwangi, Indonesia, using stakeholder surveys and data analysis. Tsunami, coastal erosion, and flooding were ranked as the highest-priority hazards, and the authors developed a risk prioritization framework to guide disaster management planning for coastal tourism zones.
Banyuwangi is a region in Indonesia renowned for its distinctive beach tourism destinations. The beach region of Banyuwangi is susceptible to significant disaster risk. This study aimed to identify, quantify, and build a prioritization scale for disaster risk management in coastal tourism regions in Banyuwangi. The approach employed for risk identification involves data analysis and stakeholder exploration. The HVA (hazard vulnerability assessment) method was employed for risk assessment. Mitigation assessments were conducted by identifying the hazards that pose the greatest risk. The study's findings indicate that material hazards (53%) and nature hazards (35%) pose the greatest risk. The highest risk in material hazards is exposure to marine waste and exposure to visitor/tourist waste. For nature hazards, the highest risks are tsunami (52%), extreme weather (52%), and earthquakes (50%). Mitigation was compiled by referring to the highest disaster risk by involving internal destination managers and external stakeholders, including visitors, local communities, government, and the private sector.
