Pemanfaatan Google Earth Pro Untuk Analisis Ekonomi Biru dan Wisata Berkelanjutan di Pantura Indramayu
Keywords:
Blue Economy, Sustainable Tourism, Geospatial PlanningAbstract
This study explores the potential of blue economy to promote sustainable tourism along the northern coastal region of Indramayu, Indonesia, by utilizing Google Earth Pro. The urgency stems from environmental degradation in coastal areas due to unsustainable exploitation. The research aims to identify strategic locations and develop inclusive blue economy-based tourism models. Theoretically, it draws from concepts of sustainable tourism, blue economy, and geospatial planning using GIS. A qualitative library research method was applied, supported by spatial analysis from satellite imagery. Findings show that Indramayu’s coastal zones possess rich biodiversity—mangroves, coral reefs, and fisheries—with suitability for eco-tourism. Spatial mapping identified priority zones like Karangsong and Pulau Biawak. Challenges such as coastal erosion and infrastructure gaps persist, yet community involvement and policy alignment offer pathways for implementation. The study recommends zoning regulations, digital-based participatory planning, and investment in eco-infrastructure to ensure sustainable growth.
Penelitian ini mengkaji potensi ekonomi biru untuk mendorong pengembangan pariwisata berkelanjutan di wilayah pesisir utara Indramayu dengan memanfaatkan Google Earth Pro. Urgensi muncul dari degradasi lingkungan akibat eksploitasi yang tidak berkelanjutan. Tujuan penelitian adalah mengidentifikasi lokasi strategis dan merumuskan model pariwisata berbasis ekonomi biru yang inklusif. Secara teoritis, kajian ini mengacu pada konsep pariwisata berkelanjutan, ekonomi biru, dan perencanaan geospasial berbasis GIS. Metode yang digunakan adalah studi pustaka kualitatif dengan dukungan analisis spasial berbasis citra satelit. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa pesisir Indramayu memiliki keanekaragaman hayati tinggi seperti mangrove, terumbu karang, dan perikanan yang cocok untuk ekowisata. Pemetaan spasial mengidentifikasi zona prioritas seperti Karangsong dan Pulau Biawak. Tantangan seperti abrasi dan kurangnya infrastruktur masih ada, namun partisipasi masyarakat dan dukungan kebijakan memberikan peluang implementasi. Penelitian ini merekomendasikan regulasi zonasi, perencanaan partisipatif berbasis digital, dan investasi pada infrastruktur ramah lingkungan untuk mendukung pertumbuhan berkelanjutan.
