Ali MS, Arifin HS, Nurhayati. 2021. Urbanization level and its effect on the structure and function of homegarden (pekarangan) vegetation in West Java, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 22: 173-183. Urbanization occurs in West Java Province, Indonesia is currently reducing the ecological value of Indonesian pekarangan or homegardens by decreasing the average area of ​​homegarden and the diversity and abundance of vegetation in them. One study site was in Bogor District, i.e. Selahuni 2, Ciomas Rahayu Village. Four sites in Bogor City, i.e. Sirnagalih-Pagentongan in Loji Village, Tegal Gundil Lama and Tegal Gundil Baru settlements in Tegal Gundil Village, and Baranangsiang Indah Settlement in Katulampa Village. One study site in Cianjur District, i.e. Cibakung Hamlet in Selajambe Village. The objective of this paper is to show the level of urbanization in each area of studies analyzed by Principle Component Analysis (PCA) and the dynamics of homegarden vegetation by comparing data from 1998, 2007, and 2019. The results showed that the levels of urbanization in the six study sites were moderately urbanized and highly urbanized. Homegarden dynamics occurred in the direction of changing homegarden area and the number of species and individuals of plants there. The dynamics of the homegarden due to urbanization have increased the composition of non-ornamental species, mostly fruit plants in all research sites in 2019.

Bogor is a city in Indonesia that has a variety of potential scientific tourism objects, such as historical buildings, educational institutions, and research institutions. Although its existence is always needed by various parties as a reference for learning, the object has not been managed optimally in a system that is integrated, so it does not have a significant impact on tourism activities in Bogor City. This research aims to analyze what variables influence tourism planning and the pattern of relationships between actors to build a sustainability strategy for scientific tourism in Bogor City. This research was conducted using the Micmac and Mactor methods. The results showed six important variables to develop sustainable scientific tourism in Bogor City, i.e. infrastructure, tourism resources, promotion, investment, regulation, and policy, then research and education institutions.

This value indicates that the current carrying capacity of the PBBSB allows the area to move towards the sustainability of the Betawi cultural preservation area. More over several regional management strategies can be used to preserve the area of Setu Babakan Betawi Cultural Village.

The utilization of Lido Lake will continue to grow, particularly in the tourism aspect, strenghtened by the 2016-2036 Bogor Regency Spatial Planning (RTRW) and the Government Regulation No. 69 of 2021 which have stipulated it to be a tourism area and a special economic tourism area, respectively.  However, at the same time increased garbage accumulation at its lakeside, wastes entering the waters and sedimentation have become prominent problems.  This study aimed to develop a management strategy so that the sustainability of Lido Lake can be maintained facing development changes. The SWOT method was used to identify and to analyze the existing internal and external factors in Lido lake including lake's biophysical conditions and preferences/participation of people around the lake. The evaluation of the internal and external factors placed Lido lake in quadrant V forming a strategy to sustain and to maintain. The SWOT matrix  recommend 6 management strategies i.e. (1) developing ecotourism as the basis for tourism, (2) implementing and managing environmentally friendly cage fish farming systems, (3) controlling sedimentation in lake waters, (4) Making building design directions on the lakeside, (5) managing the causes of degradation in lake water catchment areas, (6) providing facilities and infrastructure for waste control.
