The Role of Detail Spatial Data Resulted from Unmanned Aerial Vehicle for Tourism Area Planning in Karst Area, Gunungkidul

摘要

Karst area has a fascinating tourist attraction, especially special interest tourism such as cave tubing in Kalisuci tourismarea, Gunungkidul, Yogyakarta. The presence of visitor restrictions has an impact on tourism waiting times. However, italso spurs the development potential besides cave exploration. Planning and development of tourist sites that includelocations and consider the existing conditions of the region can only be done optimally with data and spatial analysis. Onthe other hand, the specific terrain condition, steeply hilly karst, is a great challenge in planning and developing karstarea. This research aims to build primary spatial data in the Kalisuci Tourism area and provide a reference about the roleof spatial data produced for planning special interest tourism in Kalisuci karst area, Gunungkidul. Primary spatial datawas built from data acquisition using Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) technology. This data is fundamental in theplanning inputs for the development of the Kalisuci special interest tourism area in supporting the planning of touristareas in accordance with terrain conditions. In addition, the data obtained from acquisition with UAVs are expected toprovide detail spatial data collection, which is currently very limited. The resulting data are small format aerialphotography, aerial photo imagery (orthorectification results), and digital elevation models in the form of Digital SurfaceModel (DSM). This paper discusses how far the data generated can contribute to overall field observation and assist inplanning special interest tourism in a karst area.
