Furthermore, previous studies on tourism have been done by many researchers, yet there is no research that reviews the literature about the five key pillars of sustainable tourism development with three aspects of sustainable tourism, namely social-culture, economy, and environment. This research was conducted with the aim to review and map previous studies related to sustainable tourism and the key pillars of its development. With the mapping in descriptive statistical analysis, it is expected that the findings will provide information and fill the unfilled research gap as well as to suggest academic contribution to identifying the key pillars in developing sustainable tourism. Considering the large number of studies on sustainable tourism, this study focused on the five key pillars of sustainable tourism development, namely tourism attraction, accessibility, amenity, ancillary, and community involvement as well as the three sustainability aspects. Research mapping was done by classifying previous studies based on the five key pillars. The finding shows that there is a need to develop the model of all key pillars to support sustainable tourism. The model which is going to be developed can be based on simulation approach, such system dynamics model.Tourism is one of the most important sectors that drive the national economic growth.

Modeling of Community-Based Mangrove Cultivation Policy in Sidoarjo Mudflow Area by Implementing Green Economy Concept

One of the environmental damages in Indonesia is Sidoarjo mudflow disaster causing impact significantly in various sectors. These problems of course could lead to instability for the local social dynamics and the environment as well as the global economy. Cultivating mangrove vegetation is one of the answers to overcome these problems, especially to neutralize the hazardous waste contained in the mud and definitely to rebuild the green zone in the observed area. It is necessary to conduct a research on mangrove cultivation policy in Sidoarjo mudflow area in order to support green economy concept giving benefits to the economy, environment and society. Considering several numbers of variable which have complex and causal relationships in mangrove cultivation policy in line with green economy concept, and also the developing pattern of line with the changing time make the problem to be solved appropriately with system dynamics approach which is able to analyze and assess the mangrove cultivation policy in accordance with the principles of green economy concept. Therefore, by modeling the policy of mangrove cultivation based on the concept of green economy is expected to be able to reduce carbon emissions and to create a new ecosystem that could be used by communities to give added value and selling for Sidoarjo mudflow area.

Dynamics of Food and Beverage Subsector Industry in East Java Province: The Effect of Investment on Total Labor Absorption

Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) gives an overview of economic development performance in over time. The GRDP value in East Java province is increasing in every year, but this value cannot reduce unemployment rate. The existing of economic development condition is not able to absorb the large number of unemployment where the number of work force is also increasing in the period of time. These phenomena will influence social and economic problems in a region. Investment is one of ways that could be used in order to increase the field of business and reduce the unemployment rate. In this paper, describes the industrial development in food and beverage industries subsector in East Java. By using system dynamic approach, it will construct the change of business investment related to labor absorption in East Java which is affected by economic and climate change of industrial business factors. This research will consider several policy scenarios that have been taken by government such as changes in the proportion of infrastructure funds, the proportion of aid investment by government and licensing index. This scenario could reach the main objective of the system.
