Edu-Eco-Tourism Based on Local Wisdom on The Development of Sustainable Reservoir Functions

Abstract

Sematok reservoir at the region of Nganjuk Indonesia, is the largest reservoir in Southeast Asia. The impact of the construction of the Semantok reservoir, apart from its main hydrological function as flood prevention and irrigation, is also expected to improve the economy and welfare of the local population. By choosing the research method for the development of the modified Borg and Gall model, through the FGD, the types of edu-ecotourism materials based on local wisdom were sought in Sambikerep Village, where the village was directly affected by the construction of the Semantok Reservoir. Based on the results of the study, it was found that interesting tourism materials that have the potential to be developed in the research area are 1. Local cultural title tours, namely in the form of serving the tradition of devotional work to build a "splice" house and traditional "alms of the earth" tourism followed by local arts titles 2. Nature Tourism "Seven-Story Waterfall/Grojogan Putri Ayu” and “Baung Cave”3. Culinary tourism in the form of traditional food “opak dowo”, “tape atos”, “gatot”, “tiwul” etc. 4. Shopping Tour for Natural Resources Products in the form of "agate" ornamental stones. 5. Traditional Toys/Sports Tour in the form of “paton or kekehan” 6. Selfie Tour (selfie) or Nature picture recording. Paying attention to the facts of tourism materials that attract tourists but have the potential to preserve the environment, tourism object materials that exploit natural resources, namely the presentation of "agate" ornamental stone products need to be managed carefully.
