Abstract

Sungsang IV Village is located in the Sembilang National Park buffer zone, where Sembilang National Park is the largest wetland in Western Indonesia (83,447 ha), a stopover for migrating birds from Russia to Australia and habitat for many critically endangered species such as the Sumatran tiger (Pantheratigrissumatrae), clouded leopard (Neofelisnebulosa), sun bear (Helarctosmalayanus), Dolphin without a dorsal fin (Neophocaenaphocaenoides), Estuarine crocodile (Crocodylussporosus), and more than 32 species of water birds, including species whose population status is vulnerable (vulnerable) in the world. This study aims to analyze the potential of wildlife as a tourist attraction in Sungsang Village. This study uses a qualitative approach with a survey research design. To identify and analyze the potential for wildlife tourism around the Sembilang National Park buffer zone, an inventory was carried out through direct observation and interviews with selected respondents in the tourism management environment in Sungsang IV Village, which includes tourism managers and local communities, sampling using purposive sampling. Data from respondents’ responses in this study will be analyzed using a spatial approach with a Geographic Information System (GIS) using ArcGIS software to determine the potential for community-based wildlife tourism in Sungsang IV Village, Banyuasin Regency, South Sumatra Province. The results showed that the existence of wildlife such as water birds, eagles, monitor lizards, and migratory birds became one of the tourist attractions that became the branding of Sungsang Tourism Village and the management of this tour was managed by the community, thereby increasing the company’s interest in helping develop it through CSR funds. The uniqueness of the wildlife attractions has made Sungsang Village develop quickly and become one of 75 Indonesian Tourism Villages.
