Description
Summary:The Cimahi City Government initiated the "Cimenteng Ecotourism Park Cimahi City" at Cimenteng Ecotourism Park (EWIC) with a focus on education in plantations, animal husbandry, culture, and the natural environment. EWIC, which opened in 2022, has not been optimal in providing ecotourism activities. The placemaking and ecotourism approaches, which emphasize community participation and sustainable development, integrated with the 4A components, can be a solution to identify the necessary values and formulate recommendations for more effective ecotourism development. This study aims to identify the development of tourism objects in Cimenteng Ecotourism Park (EWIC) based on 4A components and the placemaking and ecotourism approaches. The research approach used is a normative research approach which aims to analyze, interpreting, and evaluate normative values according to the approach, as well as understand their implications. The methods used in this research include literature studies, scoring analysis, and qualitative descriptive analysis. This research successfully identified 20 placemaking and ecotourism variables and 43 research objects based on 4A components to assess the level of placemaking and ecotourism in EWIC. The analysis results show that EWIC is in the "sufficient" category and requires improvement in several variables and objects that are still lacking and not yet available. This research can identify and assess the quality of EWIC more deeply and produce more comprehensive and focused recommendations than previous research at this location. This research makes an important contribution to the development of ecotourism theory and practice by integrating the concepts of placemaking and 4A components, as well as providing a framework and practical guidelines for the development of sustainable and community-oriented ecotourism.
