EVALUASI KESESUAIAN PEMANFAATAN RUANG KAWASAN PARIWISATA TERHADAP TATA RUANG UNTUK PARIWISATA BERKELANJUTAN PADA LERENG GUNUNG ARJUNO DI KECAMATAN PACET DAN TRAWAS

Abstract

Pacet District and Trawas District, located on the slopes of Mount Arjuno, have rapidly developing natural tourism potential, as indicated by the increasing construction of villas, homestays, and tourism facilities to support tourism activities in both areas. However, this growth has triggered pressure on spatial utilization, particularly the conversion of agricultural land and protected areas into built-up areas. Based on spatial data such as land cover, spatial planning patterns, developable land, and protected agricultural areas (KP2B), several inconsistencies in spatial utilization have been identified, which may increase environmental degradation and disaster risks, especially landslides in slope areas. This study aims to evaluate the suitability of spatial utilization in Pacet and Trawas Districts in relation to the spatial planning framework, as well as to identify the impacts of tourism development on the physical conditions of the area. The method used is a descriptive-comparative approach with spatial analysis through overlay techniques between existing land use maps and spatial planning maps. The variables analyzed include zoning suitability, land use change, built-up land, and potential spatial utilization conflicts. The results indicate that tourism development in the slopes of Mount Arjuno tends to be not fully aligned with the spatial planning framework, as evidenced by the presence of development in protected areas and zones with steep slopes. This condition increases the potential for spatial utilization conflicts and disaster risks.
