Feasibility analysis of lake ex-andesite stone mining as geo-tourism area at Tegalega Village, Cigudeg, Bogor

Abstract

The existence of large wallow which is an ex-mining of andesite stone that is not manage properly became the focus of this study. The objective of this study was to analyse the potential of geo-tourism object at the land of ex-andesite stone mining (Setu Jayamix), as well as to find out the feasibility value of geo-tourism object at the lake of ex-andesite stone mining (Setu Jayamix). Mix methods, which is a combination of  qualitative  and quantitative  methods with the research design of  sequential exploratory was used in this study. Sequential exploratory design is a research model where the qualitative data is collected and analyzed, then followed by the collection and analysis of quantitative data, which aims to strengthen the results of the study. The results showed that the potentials of geo-tourism in ex-andesite stone mining area i.e. lake waters, the uniqueness of andesitic stone outcrops, and the view of landscape that overgrown by various plantation  crops. Based on the results of the feasibility analyses of geo-tourism, then obtained a feasible value for the geological criteria of physical components (score = 26.334), sustainable for the economic components (score = 20.114), sustainable for the conservation components (score = 10.971), and educative (score = 8.518). Meanwhile, for the accessibility component is declared to be less feasible (score = 61.446).

Keberadaan  kubangan besar yang merupakan area bekas penambangan  batu andesit yang tidak terkelola secara maksimal menjadi fokus penelitian ini. Penelitian ini bertujuan  untuk mengkaji potensi obyek geowisata  pada lahan di kawasan  bekas tambang  batu andesit (Setu Jayamix), serta mengetahui nilai kelayakan obyek geowisata di kawasan danau bekas tambang batu andesit tersebut (Setu Jayamix).  Metode kombinasi (mix methods), yaitu  gabungan  antara  metode kualitatif  dan  kuantitatif   dengan  model penelitian sequential exploratory design digunakan dalam penelitian ini. Sequential exploratory design merupakan model penelitian dimana data kualitatif  dikumpulkan dan dianalisis, kemudian diikuti dengan pengumpulan dan analisis terhadap data kuantitatif, yang tujuannya untuk memperkuat hasil penelitian. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa potensi-potensi geowisata  yang terdapat di kawasan lahan bekas tambang  batu  andesit (Setu Jayamix)  adalah  perairan  setu, keunikan singkapan  batu  andesit,  serta pemandangan  lanskap kawasan yang ditumbuhi berbagai tanaman perkebunan. Berdasarkan hasil analisis kelayakan geowisata,  maka diperoleh nilai layak untuk kriteria geologis komponen fisik (skor = 26,334), berkelanjutan untuk komponen ekonomi (skor = 20,114), berkelanjutan untuk komponen konservasi (skor = 10,971), serta edukatif  (dengan skor = 8,518). Sedangkan untuk komponen aksesibilitas dinyatakan kurang layak (skor = 61,446).
