    SCAPES Island Trail your chauffeur; when asked to overtake, he regards you with bewildered incomprehension: “Overtake?” Balinese shiftlessness and cerebral inertia exasperate, particularly the anguished Japanese management with their brisk exactitude at newly-launched Hoshinoya. All that invigorates Bali is the ‘Chinese circus’. Certain resort lobbies, Ricky Utomo of the Bvlgari Resort chuckles, “are like a midnight sale” pulsating with Chinese tourists in voluble haberdashery, high-heeled, almost reeling into lotus ponds they hazard selfies on. The Bvlgari, whose imperious walls and august prices discourage the Chinese, say they had to terminate afternoon tea packages (another Balinese phenomenon) — can’t have Chinese tourists assail their precipiced parapets for selfies. The Chinese wed in Bali. Indians honeymoon there. That said, the isle inspires little romance. In the Viceroy’s gazebo, overlooking Ubud’s verdure, a honeymooning Indian girl, exuding from her décolleté, contuses her anatomy à la Bollywood starlet, but her husband keeps romancing his iPhone while a Chinese man bandies a soft toy to entertain his wife who shuts tight her eyes in disdain as Mum watches on in wonderment. When untoward circumstances remove us to remote and neglected West Bali National Park, where alone on the island you spot deer, two varieties, extraordinarily drinking salt water, we stumble upon Bali’s most enthralling hideaway and meet Bali’s savviest man, general manager Gusti at Plataran Menjangan (an eco-luxury resort in a destination unbothered about

Edward H. Huijbens Examiner: dr. ir. Martijn Duineveld Wageningen University and Research Department of Environmental Science Cultural Geography Chair Group Master of Science in Tourism, Society and Environment i ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Tourism has been an inseparable aspect of my life, starting with having a passion for travelling until I decided to take a big step to study about it back when I was in vocational high school. I would say, learning tourism was one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life considering opportunities and experiences which I encountered on the process. I could recall that four years ago, I was saying to myself that finishing bachelor would be my last academic-related goal in my life. However, today, I know that I was wrong. With the fact that the world and the industry are progressing and I raise my self-awareness that I know nothing, here I am today taking my words back and as I am heading towards the final chapter from one of the most exciting journeys in my life – pursuing a master degree in Wageningen, the Netherlands. Never say never. In completing this thesis, I received countless assistances and helps from people that I would like to mention. Firstly, I would not be at this point in my life without the blessing and prayers from my parents, grandma, and family.

  • Birds of Gunung Tambora, Sumbawa, Indonesia: Effects of Altitude, the 1815 Cataclysmic Volcanic Eruption and Trade
    FORKTAIL 18 (2002): 49–61 Birds of Gunung Tambora, Sumbawa, Indonesia: effects of altitude, the 1815 cataclysmic volcanic eruption and trade COLIN R. TRAINOR In June-July 2000, a 10-day avifaunal survey on Gunung Tambora (2,850 m, site of the greatest volcanic eruption in recorded history), revealed an extraordinary mountain with a rather ordinary Sumbawan avifauna: low in total species number, with all species except two oriental montane specialists (Sunda Bush Warbler Cettia vulcania and Lesser Shortwing Brachypteryx leucophrys) occurring widely elsewhere on Sumbawa. Only 11 of 19 restricted-range bird species known for Sumbawa were recorded, with several exceptional absences speculated to result from the eruption. These included: Flores Green Pigeon Treron floris, Russet-capped Tesia Tesia everetti, Bare-throated Whistler Pachycephala nudigula, Flame-breasted Sunbird Nectarinia solaris, Yellow-browed White- eye Lophozosterops superciliaris and Scaly-crowned Honeyeater Lichmera lombokia. All 11 resticted- range species occurred at 1,200-1,600 m, and ten were found above 1,600 m, highlighting the conservation significance of hill and montane habitat. Populations of the Yellow-crested Cockatoo Cacatua sulphurea, Hill Myna Gracula religiosa, Chestnut-backed Thrush Zoothera dohertyi and Chestnut-capped Thrush Zoothera interpres have been greatly reduced by bird trade and hunting in the Tambora Important Bird Area, as has occurred through much of Nusa Tenggara. ‘in its fury, the eruption spared, of the inhabitants, not a although in other places some vegetation had re- single person, of the fauna, not a worm, of the flora, not a established (Vetter 1820 quoted in de Jong Boers 1995). blade of grass’ Francis (1831) in de Jong Boers (1995), Nine years after the eruption the former kingdoms of referring to the 1815 Tambora eruption.

    KERAGAMAN HAYATI DALAM RELIEF CANDI SEBAGAI BENTUK KONSERVASI LINGKUNGAN (Studi Kasus di Candi Penataran Kabupaten Blitar) Dra. Theresia Widiastuti, M.Sn. [email protected] Dr. Supana, M.Hum. [email protected] Drs. Djoko Panuwun, M.Sn. [email protected] Abstrak Tujuan jangka panjang penelitian ini adalah mengangkat eksistensi Candi Penataran, tidak saja sebagai situs religi, namun sebagai sumber pengetahuan kehidupan (alam, lingkungan, sosial, dan budaya). Tujuan khusus penelitian ini adalah melakukan dokumentasi dan inventarisasi berbagai bentuk keragaman hayati, baik flora maupun fauna, yang terdapat dalam relief Candi Penataran. Temuan dalam penelitian ini berupa informasi yang lengkap, cermat, dan sahih mengenai dokumentasi keragaman hayati dalam relief candi Penataran di Kabupaten Blitar Jawa Timur, klasifikasi keragaman hayati, dan ancangan tafsir yang dapat dugunakan bagi penelitian lain mengenai keragaman hayati, dan penelitian sosial, seni, budaya, pada umumnya. Kata Kunci: Candi, penataran, relief, ragam hias, hayati 1. Latar Belakang Masalah Citra budaya timur, khususnya budaya Jawa, telah dikenal di seluruh penjuru dunia sebagai budaya tinggi dan adi luhung. Hal ini sejalan dengan pendapat Sugiyarto (2011:250) yang menyatakan bahwa Jawa merupakan pusat peradaban karena masyarakat Jawa dikenal sebagai masyarakat yang mampu menyelaraskan diri dengan alam. Terbukti dengan banyaknya peninggalan-peninggalan warisan budaya dari leluhur Jawa, misalnya peninggalan benda-benda purbakala berupa candi. Peninggalan-peninggalan purbakala yang tersebar di wilayah Jawa memberikan gambaran yang nyata betapa kayanya warisan budaya Jawa yang harus digali dan dijaga keberadaannya. Candi Penataran, merupakan simbol axis mundy atau sumber pusat spiritual dan replika penataan pemerintahan kerajaan-kerajaan di Jawa Timur. Banyak penelitian yang telah dilakukan terhadap Candi Penataran, tetapi lebih menyoroti pada tafsir-tafsir historis istana sentris.
