MAPPING A ERUPTION DISASTER-PRONE AREA IN THE BROMO-TENGGER-SEMERU NATIONAL TOURISM STRATEGIC AREA (CASE STUDY OF MOUNT SEMERU, INDONESIA)

Abstract

Tourism is a sector of the world's economy, a macro-industry, and dynamic that has the fastest growth rate in the world. Tourism is often associated with beauty and pleasure. But behind that tourism is an economic activity that is very vulnerable to natural disasters, including volcanic eruptions. Management of tourism mapping in the Semeru Volcano disaster-prone area (Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park Tourism Strategic Area) can be used as a reference in development guidelines, disaster mitigation, and recovery in tourist areas. Thus, the purpose of this study is to produce a mapping of disaster-prone areas and the distribution of tourist attractions around Semeru Volcano. The research method used is the use of ArcGIS and Microsoft Excel applications. The data used is from the Population, Tourism, and Disaster Data of Semeru Volcano. The analysis technique uses map buffering and overlaying. Based on the results of the mapping, 57 villages are predicted to be affected and experience heavy losses. The number of villages is divided into 17 villages in Malang Regency and 40 villages in Lumajang Regency. These villages belong to several sub-districts, namely Ampelgading, Poncokusumo, Tirto Yudo, Wajak, Pasrujambe, Candipuro, Pronojiwo, Pasirian, Candipuro, Tempursari, Tempeh, Sumbersuko, and Tempursari. In addition, these disaster-prone areas are areas that have a lot of tourism potential. Most of the tourist attractions are affected by the eruption zone and affected by the lava flow. The tourism objects studied in this study amounted to 23. While the tourist objects that are classified as safe amounted to 11 objects. All tourist attractions around Semeru Volcano require the provision of pre-disaster knowledge, disaster mitigation, and restoration of tourist areas. With this knowledge, tourism will become the main economic sector of the community and can recover quickly after volcanic activity.
