Planning the Coastal Area of Jangkaran Village with the Concept of Eco-Marine Tourism and Disaster Resilience

Abstract The coastal area of Jangkaran Village in the southern part of Kulon Progo Regency has abundant natural resources, including mangroves, natural habitats, and beaches, valuable assets to develop an attractive tourism village. In contrast, there are issues regarding poor accessibility, threat to mangrove conservation land due to tourism activities and risk of tsunami. Therefore, coastal area planning is needed to optimize the potential of natural resources by focusing on improving conservation, tourist facilities and disaster resiliency. Using the eco-marine tourism and disaster resilience concept, this study encourage the development of the tourism, fisheries, environmental conservation and disaster sectors in a sustainable and integrated manner. This concept is reflected in the coastal zoning and building layout; coastal facilities; signage; green space; circulation paths; and institutions. To produce the masterplan of Jangkaran Village coastal area, the study use Soft System Methodology (SSM) method with a comprehensive planning. This study shows the importance of in-depth understanding of the beneficiaries towards the ’rich picture’ of the site. The deeper the study is towards stakeholders benefits the more directed the area plan will be developed, and the formulation of interventions carried out will be appropriate in achieving planning objectives.
