Accessibility is an integral component of the tourism system that has an essential role in connecting the tourist origin to tourist destinations and, in a broader context, also influences the behavior of tourist mobility and tourism management. The vulnerability of the tourism sector globally in the face of disaster conditions, economic crises, and pandemic outbreaks has recently become a challenge to generate tourism mobility that is safe, resilient, adaptive, and sustainable. It is the right time period to answer these challenges by re-evaluating the tourism business model, one of which is done through a smart mobility approach and the utilization of technology in tourism accessibility. Building a smart mobility ecosystem in tourism accessibility, especially in the type of nature tourism, can be pursued by identifying and utilizing quantitative indicators to create efficient mobility and low or less impact on the environment. Considering the nature of smart mobility application on nature-based tourism, this study focuses on limits the scope of the study area to Bogor Regency and Semarang City, which have both issued smart city master plan. Furthermore, this study compares of smart mobility performance on nature-based tourism accessibility in Bogor Regency and Semarang City by identifying relevant indicators, measuring a synthetic index, and comparing its application in each Bogor Regency and Semarang City study area. To achieve the research objectives, several analytical methods consisting of 4 (four) stages were used, namely: (i) content analysis by identifying relevant indicators of smart mobility on nature-based tourism accessibility based on relevant literature and policies; (ii) semi-AHP technique to aggregate calculation analysis for weighting, standardization, and aggregation of indicators and variables; (iii) synthetic index analysis by measuring the performance of smart mobility on nature-based tourism accessibility by identifying the existence of indicators and calculating their synthetic index values; and (iv) descriptive analysis by comparing the implementation of smart mobility on naturebased tourism accessibility in both study areas. This study discovered that there are several similarities and differences in performance in the comparative analysis of smart mobility performance on natureiv based tourism accessibility in Bogor Regency and Semarang City identified through the formulation of 6 variables and 39 indicators of smart mobility on nature-based tourism accessibility, including the accessibility of long-distance tourists the accessibility of local tourists, mobility barriers, mobility security, innovation of traffic regulation and monitoring systems, and transportation and tourism services. Then, from the performance measurement of 39 indicators on 10 nature-based destinations that represent each study area, the results show that Semarang City has a total index value of smart mobility performance of 6.02 or has better performance than the achievement of Bogor Regency, which obtained a total index value of smart mobility performance of 4.03.
