Sustainability Study and Management Scenarios of Rammang-Rammang Geopark, Maros Regency, South Sulawesi Province

Rammang-Rammang Geopark has become one of the growing tourist destinations. The need for research aims to understand the sustainability status and implement sustainable tourism management strategies and scenarios in the area. The method used in this research is a descriptive method with a quantitative approach. Rapfish and MICMAC were used as analysis tools. The results of Rapfish analysis show that the environmental sustainability and institutional status are relatively positive and well-maintained, but improvements need to be made in the social and economic dimensions of the community. MICMAC analysis showed that variables such as protection and rehabilitation of local flora, community participation, and integration of management programs significantly influenced the management system. Therefore, the combination of the two analytical tools formulates a management scenario to increase community participation, sustainable tourism education, coordination between management agencies and environmental management, and economic diversification through promotion, marketing, and digital campaigns on environmentally oriented tourism in a more serious geopark area to ensure the sustainability of ecotourism aspects.
