ALL flights to be confirmed. www.bluedottravel.com.au SUMATRA AND RINCA, INDONESIA Depending on which book or report you’re reading, Indonesia comprises of somewhere between 17,000 and 18,000 islands. Heavily forested Sumatra is the largest and second most populous. For the traveler, it is also one of the most culturally rewarding places to visit in Indonesia. There are over 50 languages spoken on Sumatra and dozens of tribes of mainly Malay and Polynesian origin. The island has a tumultuous history. Arab and Indian traders arrived in the 7th century and the population was converted to Islam at that time. The region eventually became a Dutch colony and was accompanied with much violence – as is often the case with the colonising nations of the time. For the food-lover, you may feel you have arrived in Utopia. Much of the local cuisine is spicy. Chilli, coriander, lemongrass, ginger and garlic are used in many dishes, as is coconut milk. Beef randang and nasi padang are probably the most popular curry dishes known to Westerners. For those who love spotting wildlife, Sumatra offers a plethora of opportunities including Sumatran tigers, rhinos, elephants, orangutans, clouded leopard, sun bears, proboscis monkeys and a whole lot more. Not all are necessarily easy to find but you are assured of spotting certain wildlife. Our small group tour itinerary will take you around the core sights of the island and have you visiting lesser-travelled destinations too.

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.

  • The Environment and Feng Shui Application in Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion, Penang, Malaysia
    Eco-Architecture VII 1 THE ENVIRONMENT AND FENG SHUI APPLICATION IN CHEONG FATT TZE MANSION, PENANG, MALAYSIA AZIZI BAHAUDDIN & TEH BOON SOON School of Housing, Building and Planning, Universiti Sains Malaysia, Penang, Malaysia ABSTRACT Feng Shui, literarily translated as wind and water, forms part of the Chinese traditional architecture theory. The philosophy aims to achieve harmonious equilibrium among nature, buildings and people. It continues to be used in dwelling site selections and layout of buildings as well as in the environmental planning, especially in the Form School Feng Shui school of thought. It focuses on site analysis, landscapes and building placements with emphasis on designing with nature and the environment. This Feng Shui approach can be traced in the building design of the Peranakan style architecture of Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion, a unique architecture in George Town, Penang. It is a mix of Chinese, Malay and colonial building styles. Unfortunately, this mansion has not been verified with the Feng Shui approach in relating the architecture with nature, despite a claim that was made of its application and for other buildings of the same style. This study addresses the cultural sensitivity of this architecture as a case study in embracing nature for its Feng Shui application. Qualitative analysis was employed to determine whether the design of this mansion corresponded well with favourable architectural conditions placed in the environment as stated in the Form School approach. The method applied included measured drawings, ethnography study of the Peranakan culture, interviews with identified Feng Shui masters and the mansion’s owners. The mansion’s architectural design conformed to the philosophy adapted from the Form School approach, especially in the architectural language.

  • 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.
