 CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background

Various regions in Indonesia have their own uniqueness in terms of

tourism, one of which is bathing tourism. The baths have existed since ancient
times and are hidden among the wilderness, but the use of the baths has become a
challenge for the surrounding population whether the baths can be used as tourism
or not. One of the famous bathing tourism spots is still maintained its authenticity,
namely Sumber Sira bathing tourism in Putuk Rejo Village, Gondanglegi District,
Malang Regency, because of the authenticity and beauty of the tour then many of
the local and national community flocked to the tourist attractions.

Apart from all that, the managers of the surrounding residents and the
existing youth organization tried hard so that the bathing tourism places were
visited by the wider community so that it could be concluded that the role of the
manager, the community, tourists, and so on was very important to complement
each other because without there is support from various parties, there might be a
Sumber Sira bathing tour, it does not develop, it can even be said to be dead.

Tourism is an activity that occurs when tourists travel. Tourism develops

in economics in order to facilitate the needs of tourists while traveling. Tourism in
the modern sense is a phenomenon which emphasizes the need for health and
changing air, fostering the beauty of nature to get pleasure, E.Guyer-Freuler in
Pendit (2003: 34).While tourism geography is defined as science that studies the
relationship between the physical environment and human activities during a tour.

There are many tourism places that can be visited starting from modern
tourism, mountain tourism, beach tourism to water sources with very natural
views. One of the tours that is still maintained to its natural source is the Sirah
Spring, located in Gondanglegi District. Wisata Sirah Spring is a clear spring pool
with a beautiful view. This bathing lake is very suitable for bathing and playing
water, but also suitable for diving or snorkeling. At the bottom of the pond there is
a green algae that forms the basis of the Sirah water source.

 CHAPTER 2. LITERATURE REVIEW

2.1 Definition of Tourism

Tourism is one of the industrial products that has the potential to be

developed in Indonesia, given the increasing number of people from year to year
and has a high demand for tourism. The increasing demand for tourism in
Indonesia can be seen through the level of tourist arrivals which continues to
increase from year to year. Village tourism (Rural tourism) is tourism which
consists of overall rural experience, natural attractions, traditions, unique elements
that can overall attract the interest of tourists (Joshi, 2012). Statistical data shows
the number of foreign tourist arrivals to Indonesia reached 3.70 million visits, an
increase of 9.96 percent compared to the number of foreign tourist arrivals in the
same period in 2013 (Dinas Pariwisata, 2014).

Tourism is an activity to travel to a particular destination outside of daily

activities and the neighborhood as a temporary stopover, this tour is driven by
several needs without intending to earn money and just to find temporary
pleasure, as well as to enjoy various entertainment that can release fatigue or
fatigue and can produce an experience of its own. According to E. Guyer-Freuler,
in Pendit (2003) the notion of tourism in the modern sense is a phenomenon of the
present era which is based on the need for health and changing air, growing a
sense of natural beauty, to get pleasure. Mathieson and Wall (1982), in Sudjali
(1985) said that tourism is a temporary movement of people or residents within a
certain area boundary by carrying out activities. Tourism is a process caused by
the flow of foreigners who come and go to and from a place, region or country
and everything that has to do with the process (Herman von Schullern S., in
Pendit, 2003). The systems for forming a tourist village consist of
accommodation, local community tourism attractions, promotion and
infrastructure (Hadjas, 2006 in Birin, 2010). Andrea and Janet (2012: 176) argue
that this strategy can be used in the development of tourist villages based on
community development by relying on their own, empowerment, sustainability,
conservation and cultural improvement to improve the livelihoods of the
population.

2.2 Tourist attraction

In our bathing place observation activities we aim to study several bathing

places that have the potential to become icons in an area. It is expected that this
observation can improve the economy of the community through the development
of bathing resorts with the help of the surrounding community so that it can be
achieved to become an icon of an area. The approach in this study uses a
quantitative method that is sampling method that is done by random or random.

In the observation activities, our group saw the uniqueness of each bath in
an area that could attract tourists to come to the tourist site. As well as the
community can increase cooperation between sectors supporting tourism,
increased promotion and community empowerment in increasing the
improvement of transportation facilities and other infrastructure.

Some theories used in this study are planning theory, sustainable tourism
theory, community based tourism (CBT) theory and alternative tourism theory.
The development of a tourism village must be well planned, therefore it is very
necessary for stakeholder collaboration in this case the government, entrepreneurs,
and the community especially the local community. It aims to develop a tourist
village in a better direction that can prosper the people in it. The theory of
sustainable tourism, according to the World Tourism Organization (WTO),
implies three principles for tourism sustainability namely ecological
sustainability, social cultural sustainability, and economic sustainability both for
present and future generations. The tourism village which is a destination in it
must be able to balance the achievement of social and economic environmental
values, so that sustainability can be realized ”(Nalayani, 2016).
2.3 Tourism Impact

Development in the field of tourism can provide benefits to the

community, because the tourism sector has the function of one of its sectors to
develop in the economic sector (the country's economy). This development effort
in the world of tourism is supported by Law No. 10 of 2009 which states that
tourist attractions in an area will be very beneficial, among others, increasing the
original income of an area, increasing the standard of living of the community and
expanding employment opportunities given the increasing number of
unemployment today, increasing the love of the environment and preserving the
local cultural nature.

Increasing the welfare of the community by the tourism sector is able to

increase employment and a large contribution to regional income to create the
conditions of objects and attractions that are able to serve various interests, an
optimal arrangement and development effort is needed in accordance with the
carrying capacity in an area. It is hoped that at the same time it can change and
improve the image of an area into a "handayani" tourist destination that is a tourist
destination that is efficient, effective, and reliable.
 CHAPTER 3. RESEARCH METHOD

3.1 Types Of Research

Descriptive research is a type of research conducted to obtain information

about the advantages of the place and this research is also conducted in a
qualitative form that requires observational data in the form of factual information
through interviews with informants. From our observations, the Sumber Sira bath
has the potential to become a tourist spot because it also becomes a bathing place
that has beautiful places for selfies, we can take photos in the water because in the
water there are living plants and there are still many photos that we can take it
there.

Sira Baths offer a number of sights as well as baths for tourists. The
facilities offered by the Sumber Sira bath management are quite interesting for
tourists who come to the baths. There are several supporting facilities in the
Sumber Sira bath which are divided into three:

a) Main Facilities; including places to eat and drink, camping places, and
rental of swimming equipment such as tires, swimsuits, swimming
goggles.
b) Supporting facilities; includes souvenirs (souvenirs)
c) Recreational facilities; in the form of security, health places, places of
worship, parks, and others.

3.2 Research Location and Time

The tourism research location is located in Putuk Rejo Village,

Gondanglegi District, Malang Regency about 1 hour and 45 minutes from
Malang. To go to the Sumber Sira baths, the road access is quite good because it
is paved and paved and the views on both sides are still beautiful and shady. The
bath also has a large parking area, while to be able to reach there it is necessary to
descend the stairs first. Sumber Sira's baths have views of rice fields and trees that
are still maintained their authenticity until now.
 The observation time will take place on Saturday September 7 2019 at
14.30-17.00 WIB to coincide with college holidays or weekends. Sumber Sira's
bathing attractions offer several facilities ranging from rental of inner tubes,
diving equipment, water proofs, changing rooms, luggage storage or lockers,
camping spots, and tourist markets. There are several trash cans so that tourists do
not litter and have shelter while enjoying the beautiful scenery. Not only is the
place beautiful, clean and adequate facilities are a tourist choice, but the
processing of good tourist attractions is also a tourist choice. In our observations,
the processing of the tours at Sumber Sira's baths is very good and makes us as
visitors feel comfortable and happy.

3.3 Research Subject

The subject or place of observation was Sumber Sira tourism located in

Putuk Rejo Village, Gondanglegi District, Malang Regency. There are several
supporting facilities in tourism there, such facilities include the existing facilities
and infrastructure such as rental of tires, waterproof, bathroom or changing rooms,
lockers or storage of goods, shelter, trash, shops or tourist markets, and places to
eat.

3.4 Data Collection Technique

In our observations, our group used the method of data collection by

means of checklists, questionnaires, interviews to the camera to record video of
the interviews. In the observations we made at the Sira Source bath we used a data
collection method that could be done in an observation. There are several data
collection methods, among others.

1. Literature Review

Literature study needs to be done to determine the condition of the research

location and help collect primary data.
2. Interview

Interview is a data collection technique that is done through face-to-face and

question and answer directly between us and the interviewees. The interviews we
conducted we used a structural interview method to dig up information to
informants and were assisted by tools such as cameras for photos and video
recording.

3. observation

is a complex data collection method because it involves various factors in

collecting this observation data collection method also aims to find out about a
place that will be observed. In this observation method we use participant
observation is a research activity that is directly involved in the observation
activity.

3.5 Data analysis technique

Analysis of the data used in this observation uses qualitative data analysis
or descriptive analysis in the form of spoken or written words about observable
human behavior (Taylor and Bogdan, 1984). Qualitative data can be divided into
three types (Patton, 1990):

a) observations: detailed description of the situation, events, interactions, and

behavior observed in the field.
b) The results of the conversation: a direct quote from people's statements
about their experiences, attitudes, beliefs and thoughts during the in-depth
interview opportunity.
c) Written material: excerpts or all documents, correspondence, records and
historical cases.

From the explanation of this type of qualitative data, a conclusion can be made
in the form of the results of the interviews that have been conducted.
 CHAPTER 4. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

4.1 Overview of Research Locations

Malang Regency is a regency in East Java province, and is located

between Lumajang Regency in the East and Pasuruan Regency in the North.
Malang Regency and Malang City are no doubt discussing tourism. Gondanglegi
sub-district is one of the sub-districts that has a large area of government. There is
also one of the potential tourism villages because Gondanglegi District has many
tourist attractions that can be considered crowded.

4.2 Research Results

4.2.1 History of Sira's Source

The Sirah source has a very long history. Especially when viewed from
springs that are still beautiful and far from the touch of human hands. This spring
is not only used as a tourist attraction, but also for irrigation. The local
government made the water from Sirah Source flow through the surrounding
residents' rice fields. Interestingly water irrigation for rice fields and even then
become a tourist attraction River Tubbing sports. Tourists who visit can rent a tub
or tire for tourists to ride along the irrigation from Sumber Sira, in the irrigation
area there are boundaries made of bamboo to limit the area that tourists should not
be visited with River Tubbing. Not many people know the origin to the story from
this spring. It's just known the name of the Source Sira or Source Sirah for the
area was taken from the word source, which in Javanese means spring. Whereas
Sirah, in Sundanese language also means water source. The historical story of
Sumber Sirah is still a mysterious secret behind its beauty.

4.2.2 Activities at Sumber Sira

Sirah tourism is one of the tourism springs located in South Malang. Even
this area is surrounded by prone forests, sugar cane plantations and coconut
plantations that are typical of the area, stretch of rice fields, and hilly stretches that
stretch from west to south Malang. The beautiful scenery at Sumber Sirah is also
supported by a spring that forms a green pond with a small river that is irrigating
for the surrounding residents' rice fields. Many things can be done in the bathing
tourism activities at Sumber Sira, ranging from swimming, diving, buying food,
buying clothes, to just photographs

4.3 Discussion

Sumber Sira Bath is a public bathing place located in Putuk Rejo Village,
Gondanglegi District, Malang Regency and overall can be enjoyed by various
groups, both young and old. Observations were made to determine the
management system of Sumber Sira tourist attractions and also to know the
supporting facilities in it. Observation is carried out for one day and carried out in
the afternoon because the weather is not so hot and it is possible to take better
views. In the observations that have been made there are interview sessions with
managers and visitors to find out the level of comfort and security for both parties.

Tourism is interpreted as a tourist trip from a residence to a tourist spot

and a place to stay for a while and then return from tourism activities and get
pleasure from these tourism activities. It also includes activities carried out during
tourism activities, for example interacting with other communities and purchases
made. Some terms that are often used include leisure, recreation, and tourism.
From each term is then interpreted individually which means leisure is a moment
or time free to rest and free from all kinds of work, duties or obligations
(Haryono, 1978: 21). The recreation is an activity carried out during leisure in the
form of watching TV, listening to the radio, reading, watching movies in theaters,
eating in restaurants, going on a picnic, and so on. While tourism is a process
caused by the flow of foreigners who come and go to and from a place, region or
country and everything that has to do with the process (Herman von Schullern S.
In Pendit, 2003: 35). The purpose of carrying out activities in leisure with
recreation or tourism is to get pleasure or satisfaction both physically and
mentally (physically and spiritually).
 CHAPTER 5. CLOSING

5.1 Conclusions

Tourism is a necessity that must be present in every human being,

considering that currently human activities are also diverse and dense so that they
need alternatives to be able to get rid of that saturation. One of the tourism sectors
to get rid of boredom is to go to water attractions that can be used for swimming
and have a very good beauty accompanied by a gentle breeze so that the saturation
gradually disappears and is replaced by a feeling of pleasure so that later in the
day when doing activities as usual there will be positive energy radiated to solve
all problems of life. Like this Sumber Sira tour that can eliminate all negative
energy in the body, by enjoying its natural beauty and swimming activities will
make all the chaotic feeling disappear. Apart from all that the role of government
and society becomes important for the realization of a quality tourism sector and
has competitiveness with similar tourist attractions.

5.2 Suggestions

Based on the discussion that has been described previously, it is expected

that the reader can understand the management system of tourist sites, tourism
management, access to go to tourist sites and things that need to be done related to
tourism so as to create an environment-based, spatial, and regional-based tourism
sector to improve community welfare around and those who helped in the
establishment of these tours.
