Judul: SEAMEO BIOTROP BOGOR LANDSCAPE DESIGN AS AN AGROEDUTOURISM AREA
Abstrak: SEAMEO (Southeast Asian Ministers of Education Organization) BIOTROP merupakan pusat pengkajian bidang biologi tropika yang berada di bawah koordinasi Kementrian Pendidikan, Kebudayaan, Riset dan Teknologi. Kegiatannya meliputi penelitian, pelatihan, jaringan, dan pertukaran personel dan penyebaran informasi dalam bidang biologi tropis. Terdapat lebih dari 5000 pengunjung per tahun memanfaatkan fasilitas dan sumber daya yang ada di BIOTROP Untuk memaksimalkan potensi tersebut BIOTROP mencanangkan sebuah konsep Agro-Edu-Wisata. Konsep Agro-Edu-Tourism dipilih karena kegiatan utama di BIOTROP adalah penelitian di bidang biologi tropis dan pertanian secara luas, serta kegiatan pariwisata dianggap sebagai salah satu industri yang paling berkembang di dunia. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk merancang lanskap SEAMEO BIOTROP yang dapat digunakan sebagai sarana agroeduwisata dan meningkatkan jasa ekosistem. Konsep dasar perancangan ini untuk memaksimalkan fungsi kawasan BIOTROP yang ada saat ini, yaitu sebagai destinasi wisata dengan basis pertanian dan edukasi. Konsep dasar yang diusulkan yaitu “Familiarizing oneself with Agricultural”, yaitu pengunjung diajak untuk mengenal lebih dekat dengan produk hasil pertanian, rekreasi di kawasan pertanian, dan juga merasakan secara langsung aktivitas pertanian seperti mengolah lahan, menanam, merawat dan memanen. Selain itu, penelitian ini berisi tahapan desain yang terdiri dari project acceptance, analisis dan sintesis, studi konseptual, desain skematis, site plan, dan gambar konstruksi. Hasil akhir dari penelitian ini berupa rekomendasi konsep, site plan, detail desain, dan ilustrasi desain., SEAMEO (Southeast Asian Ministers of Education Organization) BIOTROP is a center for the study of tropical biology under the coordination of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research and Technology. Its activities include research, training, networking, and personnel exchange and information dissemination in tropical biology. More than 5000 visitors per year take advantage of the facilities and resources available at BIOTROP. To maximize this potential, BIOTROP has launched an Agro-Edu-Tourism program. The concept of Agro-Edu-Tourism was chosen because the main activities at BIOTROP are research in the field of tropical biology and agriculture in a broad sense, as well as tourism activities are considered as one of the most developing industries in the world. The aim of this research is to design the BIOTROP landscape that can be used as a facility for agroedutourism and enhance ecosystem services. The basic concept of this design is to maximizes the functions of the existing BIOTROP area, which currently serves as a tourist destination with a foundation in agriculture and education. The proposed basic concept is "Familiarizing oneself with Agriculture", where visitors are invited to get closer to agricultural products, engage in recreational activities in agricultural areas, and experience firsthand farming activities such as land cultivation, planting, caring for crops, and harvesting. Additionally, this research contains a series of designs consisting of project acceptance, analysis, conceptual studies, schematic designs, site plan, and construction drawings. The final results of this research are recommendation concept, site plan, detailed drawings, and design illustrations.
