| Summary: | The development of geopark is one of the the tourism development efforts in
Indonesia. It’s considered to contribute for the regional development, economic
development, and maintaining local culture. One of the geopark potentials in West
Java is the Galunggung Mountain Area which is located in Tasikmalaya Regency.
Galunggung has potential in geological diversity, biodiversity and cultural
diversity. But for the status of Galunggung as a geopark area needs to be reviewed
regarding its infrastructure readiness. This study uses a qualitative descriptive
approach where the data collected is primary data obtained through in-depth
interviews with stakeholders, observations, and questionnaires. Secondary data
obtained through documents from the government policy, book, and journal.
Respondents for this study are 200 tourists which selected with convenience
sampling. This study has four variables chosen based on the suitability of the
research object, which are the characteristics of geotourism, the characteristics of
the National Geopark, basic infrastructure of tourism, and geopark infrastructure.
The condition of tourism in the Galunggung Mountain Region which is a Naturebased Tourism Attraction with a very high level of excellence is currently a priority
for the development of the Regional Government as geotourism. The results of the
questionnaire with statistical calculations found that the research variables namely
the basic infrastructure of tourism and geopark supporting infrastructure are at the
ready level. In order to realize the national status of Geopark, several requirements
are still needed, including the determination of boundaries, areas, management,
cooperation, geopark master plan and improvement of the quality of infrastructure
that is already available to provide comfort for tourists. |
