    THESIS REPORT Mapping a Policy-making Process The case of Komodo National Park, Indonesia Novalga Aniswara MSc Tourism, Society & Environment Wageningen University and Research A Master’s thesis Mapping a policy-making process: the case of Komodo National Park, Indonesia Novalga Aniswara 941117015020 Thesis Code: GEO-80436 Supervisor: prof.dr. 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.

  • Southern Andaman Coast
    © Lonely Planet Publications SOUTHERN ANDAMAN COAST 325 Southern Andaman Coast Island hoppers, this is your dreamland. The south is the quieter half of the Andaman coast; even the tourist star of Ko Phi-Phi can’t rival the glam and crowds of Phuket. Instead, this region is the ideal choice for serious relaxation, outdoor fun and chummy nights at beachside bars. Just slowly putter from white-sand isle to white-sand isle. Social seekers will love the developed beauties such as Ko Phi-Phi and Ko Lanta where you can party into the wee hours and meet plenty of people on the beach, yet still find a peaceful strip of sand. And roads less travelled are just next door: head down through the lightly developed Trang islands to the even less visited Satun Province to find powder-white romantic beaches, outrageous snorkelling and plenty of spicy southern Thai culture. The entire region is made up of a spectacular undulating coastline pierced by sheer limestone formations, speckled with islands and cloaked in a carpet of verdant greenery. Besides the phenomenal diving and snorkelling, some of the best rock climbing in the world can be found in Krabi and Trang Provinces. All that limestone also means there are plenty of caves to explore; some house shrines while others require that you shimmy on your stomach to get through. You can also kayak to islands or through coastal mangroves. Much of this region shuts down in the April to November low season but even at that time you can still get to most places with determined effort.

  • Wildlife-Animal Tourism Development and Lessons from Indonesia
    69 C-02 WILDLIFE-ANIMAL TOURISM DEVELOPMENT AND LESSONS FROM INDONESIA Budi Guntoro1 1Faculty of Animal Science, Universitas Gadjah Mada, Jl. Fauna 3, Yogyakarta, Indonesia 55281 (E-mail: [email protected]) Introduction Wildlife-animal tourism encompasses a range of activities, including bird watching, wildlife viewing, photographic and walking safaris, reef diving, whale watching, trophy hunting and sport fishing. Wildlife tourism may be achieved through many different forms of transport, including on foot, by vehicle, boat or balloon. Wildlife tourism may be purposeful or may also include tourists who visit wildlife areas as an incidental part of a broader trip. Business trips may also involve visits to wildlife areas that are casual diversions rather than the prime motivation for visiting a country. Wildlife tourism is an important component of the international and domestic tourism industry. Overall, depending on the region, wildlife tourism accounts for 20 to 40 per cent of international tourism (Filion et al.1992; Giongo et al.1993, CEP 1994). The scale of wildlife tourism is even larger if domestic wildlife tourism is taken into consideration. However, statistics are often not available to determine what proportion of wildlife tourism is domestic in origin, but it is likely to be very high in some countries. As with tourism generally, wildlife tourism is likely to increase in importance and scale (Giongo et al. 1993). Furthermore, it may also attract an increasing market share, as suggested by a number of surveys indicating an increasing interest in wildlife among tourists. The last 20 years have seen a shift in favoured tourism destinations towards developing countries, especially those rich in biodiversity.

  • Role of Culture in the Emotional Response Towards Komodo Dragon in Komodo and Rinca Islands of Komodo National Park
    BIO Web of Conferences 19, 00021 (2020) https://doi.org/10.1051/bioconf/20201900021 ISIF 2019 Role of culture in the emotional response towards komodo dragon in Komodo and Rinca Islands of Komodo National Park Arzyana Sunkar1,*, Mirza Dikari Kusrini1, and Fitria Suci Ramadhani2 1 Department of Forest Resources Conservation and Ecotourism Faculty of Forestry, IPB University, 16001 Bogor, Indonesia 2 IUPHHK-HA PT. Sarmiento Parakantja Timber (SARPATIM), 74312 Kotawaringin Timur, Indonesia Abstract. Human emotions towards wildlife were seldom considered in wildlife conservation. This study seeks to identify, explore and understand the local communities perceptions and interactions with Komodo dragons. Data were collected from February to April 2018 in Komodo Village and Rinca Village of Komodo National Park, using close and semi-open questionnaires, three-scale Likert statements and interviews with 60 respondents. Although 98.5% considered Komodo as a dangerous species, in total, 60.6% of Komodo villagers had positive perceptions of their interactions with Komodo, while 47.6% of Rinca’s had moderate perceptions. Komodo attacks were less reported in Komodo Village despite the more frequent direct encounters. Komodo villagers have learnt how to adjust to the dangers, with 13% showed no actions during an encounter with the dragon, 77% pelt the dragon with rocks and 10% pulled it by the tail. On the contrary, 50% of Rinca Villagers, although showed no actions, but reported the sightings, 20% pelt it with rocks, 27% herd it with sticks and 3% hit it with wood. The different responses correlated with the different cultural beliefs and values towards Komodo. All Rinca villagers were migrants with no cultural attachments to the reptile, while for Komodo villagers, the dragons were perceived to be cousins, hence should not be harmed.

  • Bali and Komodo Itinerary
    WILD INDONESIA: BALI & KOMODO EXPEDITION 2020 Dragons, Temples & Coral Reefs 16-Day Indonesia Itinerary from July 26 – August 10, 2020 Bali and Komodo – just the names evoke exotic imagines of dense forests, cloud-shrouded mountains, ancient temples, mysterious cultures and unusual wildlife. Indeed, both Bali and Komodo have all of these attributes and, in places, feel like a lost world that time forgot. A place where dragons still rule forests; undamaged coral hosts a profusion of fish; jungles overgrow ruins; and rare snow-white Bali Mynas dance in the trees. EcoQuest Travel is proud to partner with the North Carolina Zoo Society on an extraordinary journey to the islands of Bali and Komodo! Bali is the cultural heart of Indonesia and we will explore temples, witness the grace and precision of Balinese dance and search for rare birds and primates. From Bali we will travel to Flores, an island in the Lesser Sundas archipelago. Flores is the gateway to the remote islands of Rinca and Komodo – home to the famous Komodo Dragons. In addition to the dragons these islands are home to an array of wildlife and some of the best coral reefs on earth. EcoQuest Travel and the North Carolina Zoo Society invite you to join us as we snorkel with mantas, explore Bali’s temples and parks, watch thousands of giant Flying Foxes take flight and walk with dragons. Days 1 & 2 – Sunday & Monday, July 26 & 27: Your Home Cities to Our Gateway City in Asia You will depart from your home cities today and fly to your US gateway city – likely Detroit or Atlanta.
