Pengembangan Pariwisata Berbasis Masyarakat melalui Air Bersih dan Penataan Lingkungan di Buntu Bebo Tana Toraja

Sari

ABSTRAK

Pengembangan pariwisata berbasis masyarakat (community-based tourism/CBT) merupakan strategi penting dalam mendorong pembangunan wilayah berkelanjutan, namun keberhasilannya juga dipengaruhi oleh ketersediaan infrastruktur dasar dan kualitas lingkungan. Objek Wisata Buntu Bebo masih menghadapi keterbatasan pada penyediaan air bersih dan kebersihan kawasan. Kegiatan ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kualitas pengelolaan kawasan wisata melalui pemberdayaan masyarakat yang terintegrasi dengan perencanaan sistem air bersih dan penataan lingkungan. Metode yang digunakan adalah pendekatan partisipatif melalui survei, penyuluhan, pelatihan, pendampingan, serta penerapan teknologi tepat guna dengan melibatkan ±25–30 peserta. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa sistem air bersih kombinasi pompa dan gravitasi mampu memenuhi kebutuhan air sebesar ±1.000–1.500 liter per hari, penataan kawasan meningkatkan kebersihan dari ±40% menjadi ±80%, serta sosialisasi meningkatkan pemahaman masyarakat hingga ±70%. Secara keseluruhan, integrasi perencanaan teknis dan pemberdayaan masyarakat terbukti efektif dalam meningkatkan kualitas pengelolaan wisata berbasis CBT. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan implementasi berkelanjutan sistem air bersih serta penguatan pengelolaan lingkungan berbasis masyarakat untuk mendukung keberlanjutan destinasi wisata.

ABSTRACT

Community-based tourism (CBT) has been an important strategy in promoting sustainable regional development; however, its success has also been influenced by the availability of basic infrastructure and environmental quality. The Buntu Bebo Tourism Site still faced limitations in clean water supply and environmental cleanliness. This study aimed to improve the quality of tourism area management through a community empowerment approach integrated with clean water system planning and environmental arrangement. The method used was a participatory approach involving field surveys, socialization, training, assistance, and the application of appropriate technology with approximately 25–30 participants. The results showed that the clean water system using a combination of pumping and gravity flow was able to meet water demand of approximately 1,000–1,500 liters per day, environmental arrangement improved cleanliness from approximately 40% to 80%, and socialization increased community understanding by approximately 70%. Overall, the integration of technical infrastructure planning and community empowerment proved to be effective in improving CBT-based tourism management. Therefore, further implementation of the clean water system and strengthening of community-based environmental management were required to support sustainable tourism development.
